Ratings and reviews

The app itself is good. A well made product. It's a little misleading as far as the functionality as it does not exactly tell you if it's "really" available to you or not. Until you find out that it's not compatible with your car. At least there's a trial but I would be ticked off if you had to buy their OBD2 and go through the hassle of finding out that not all functionality they list aren't 100% accurate. It's more of a shortcut to already available features is all...so I canceled my trial.

I've had this app installed on my phone for years. When I first installed it I remember making changes to my Toyota for free. The next time I tried the app it required a purchase. No problem. I buy almost every app I use. Figured I would buy next I used. Price doubled. Starting saving my Play balance. Price doubled. It was up to $20 last time I checked. Expensive, but still on my list. Opened today to buy...$40 a year. Yikes. My fault for waiting, but wow. Insane. $10 one time also insane. Uninstalled.

The app works fine for scanning the modules of my 2017 VW Passat. I did the trial upgrade to the 'Pro' version so that I could make some changes, then cancelled my subscription. This app is definitely NOT worth $40 per year for the minimal amount of programming options given. A plus+ is that it worked with my cheap ELM327 bluetooth adapter. Since this is lacking extended coding options, the subscription service is overpriced and really a non-competitor to OBDeleven and other 'more powerful' tools. I see no reason to pay indefinitely for it's limited ability. If anything, the subscription service should be considered a R&D fee. It has potential, but I just don't see the value at this point.
