Ratings and reviews

Generally, I like the app. Connecting it to my Bluetooth transmitter can be sketchy, usually, I start my car, wait for a few seconds and then press the pairing button on the transmitter before I start the app on my phone. This works most of the time but not always.

paid for this 3 years ago and have not been disappointed! It is universal, so don't expect to find your car listed. I use it on a Mercedes-Benz and a Dodge, so I think you will find it very flexible. Once connected to the OBD bluetooth adapter, the dashboards are every bit as responsive as the actual dashboards in the car. But more importantly, this app gives a LOT more information. And, yes, it will reset your check engine light, and tell you what the problem is. VERY USEFUL and what a value for the price!!!!!

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.
