Ratings and reviews

Pros: Can read codes, clear codes, veiw pids, network test. Cons: PATS function freezes up and has never worked for the past year I've used it. Cannot toggle PIDs in dataloger or see more then 6 at a time. On long yest drives I like to see multiple PIDS and press pause when the concern happens, but I often have to do this multiple times with 2 sets of PIDS active and screenshot them. Overall, does well but PATS needs to be fixed or deleted if it doesn't work.

Requires a login to use (which, in turn, requires their servers to not be broken at the time you need to use it.) Currently their servers are broken and returning a 500 error, thus this app is just a useless waste of space. An app like this should absolutely not explicitely require a login just to even operate. An optional login would be fine, but not required.

Terrible app, rotunda guys lied to us and said the cvm lite does everything the IDS does except programming. There's output state command, Maximum of 6 pids, no obd modes, can't reset parameters, no pats functions. It's an AutoZone code reader and when you leave the app you have to log back in and reconnect to the vehicle. What a joke. This was a successful fail!
