too much ad, won't even let you try the app, ad all over the screen, un_useable, I don't mind pay the fee, at least let me try it ti see if is suits, uninstalled already
Wow, I've used the app in the past, but it's totally not useable anymore
App is garbage would not stay connect to my scanner.
ad trap
Full of ads
can't use it, this has no chill with ads
Don't supports Renault cars.
can't get it to connect
useless if you don't pay, cant even clear codes
junk ads scam
Unusable because the ads cover everything up, literally can't click on anything.
can't even try. Ads all over, unable to close just to try this app. I accept ads, at least on free variant for testing purposes. but with this, no. just no and go away as fast as you can, waste of time
full of ads. can't try it. wants you to immediately sign up. add are to intrusive
trash
wants a monthly payment scamm don't trust
more garbage. ads work great though
cant even use it because its ad after ad after ad.
pop ups cover screen, demands precise location and other irrelevant permissions.
Ads everywhere. I couldn't even use the app to try it due to way too many ads covering content. There's using ads appropriately, and then there is how this app uses ads. Absolutely not, immediate uninstall.
too many ads too expensive
I'm not paying for something that I can get for free that does the same thing.
Spam
it's free until you launch it. Then it becomes a subscription service. No thanks.
First run, immediate barrage of misleading ads to click away, "trial period" notifications etc. Uninstall and going to Torque.
Wont even open!
why do you want my location?
full of ads and refuses to connect to my obd2 adapter don't bother downloading
Can't even use the app it's full of adds, I never seen so many adds in an app it's useless.
this OBD app is difficult to use and you have to suffer through multiple ads before even being able to use it.
You need an account to use the scanner
cannot connect. too much ads
could not connect
have ads after evey click, can not use at all.
The ads are so large and frequent that the demo mode is useless.
Can't even open the app. Ads prevent you from using it. Not worth downloading...
diaconnects, and when connected wont read data
It's so packed with advertisement, that it renders useless. Not worth the time.
the app directed me to a website to sign up. The page asked for credit card information but said I wouldn't be charged at the moment. went to next page I am in a sports news website. next thing I know my credit card gets charged for $35 for a membership I never agreed to.
literally unusable because some genius decided to add a banner ad that covers 60% of the screen and blocks all buttons
way too many ads you can't even navigate your way through the setup menu... uninstall
ads and ads and ads and pay me
it was free when I paid for the unit.... now they're asking for payment...not what I bought
What the hell was that app even? It's just a bunch of advertising
This has a similar look to the official app but it no way seems to be related to the OBD Link devices. I dumped this app and scanned the QR code from the book that came with my device. Again this app seems to be a scam duping people who bought the official device and thought they could just search the app store for an app with a similar name to their device. Drop this app and get the one from the book in the packaging of your device.
will not work spent money on trash can't get refund
waste of time would not connect bluetooth full of ads getting in the way of trying to connect 😔
Scam bait.
the worst obd2 tool I have tried
Absolute garbage. 20 ads before I can even pair my scanner.
Keeps disconnecting from OBD2 Veepeak, then asks me to review after every disconnect
