Ratings and reviews

Edit: It's been 6 years since comment. Still love it, but wish it was 2-way comms so you can program. For the price though, hands down the best UI. Nothing comes close. I'm glad I purchased this when I did I (no add-ons needed). I keep reading complaints about it charging for extras. Haven't exp that. Have used with 6 cars using a $20 BAFX BT reader 0 issues. Was able to add multiple vehicles of any year. If you don't want it running in background, use tasker to kill it when you close it.

I usually don't rate apps, but wanted to let it be known that even AFTER purchasing the app for ten dollars, you are STILL not permitted to view all of your car's error codes without purchasing a second unlock at an additional ten dollars, specifically for the make and year of your vehicle. This is very misleading to me and I feel warrants a one star rating and a warning to others who may be interested in purchasing the app to work on their vehicle, as I did.

Used this app for a while on an Galaxy S8. It would give me some issues connecting to the the FOSEAL unit through wifi, but would connect eventually and would do everything that I wanted. Fast forward to my S10+, reinstall app. NOW I have to authorize it to access all kinds of things that it doesn't need, and it won't connect to the app at all...OH AND now I have to re-purchase the app. Don't know what happened in the updates, but I'll buy another reader and app before I recommend this one to anyone.
