Ratings and reviews

In my experience, I works when it works although it's finicky, takes too long to load and connect. There hasn't been any updates to the app since I purchased several years ago. At least until the app has had major improvements, I would recommend using a different app for better compapibility. In my opinion, price doesn't justify it.

I've paid for this app 6 times over in the process of purchasing 2 licenses yet the developer refuses to even respond to my requests for a working license key. My first license was back when this app cost $49.95 and my 2nd came a few years later when the original license stopped working because of their update. The app worked pretty great, but this is the worst customer service I've experienced in a long long time. They could at the very least acknowledge my question.

My truck now has a tach! I've used it for about 3 years now and it's helped me manage my fuel mileage and consumption. All around useful app. It reads my trouble codes accurately and provides everything I could ask for as a hobby mechanic. The only thing I wish this had was an option to tune the vehicle. But other than that it's a fantastic tool that doesn't break the bank. I recommend this app to everyone I see that needs a way to see real time telemetry for their OBD2 vehicle.
