Обман
Купил пожизненное про, но они все равно снимают каждый месяц деньги как за помесячное использованием
Changed the app
Originally I loved this app, saved me a lot of time. They changed the software options on here and now it doesn’t really do anything. Kinda mad, severely disappointed. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it. Just had to screw with the app and now it sucks.
Последнее обновление приложения
Интерфейс стал дешевый на вид и не красивый, диагностировать автомобиль стало тяжелее или мне кажется, все происходит долго, не за это я покупал подписку навсегда 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Don’t update. Will delete data.
Have you tested the new version? All the stored data is removed.
Won’t connect
Never in my life have I spent more time trying to connect an obd to something this app completely sucks and I’m still not getting any connection big waist of time
Garbage
Don’t get its unsupported and complete nonsense waste of time, report to BBB it’s a scam.

Doesn’t work with iOS 26
Recently upgraded my phone to iOS 26, and all of a sudden the Car Scanner will not work. I have purchased the pro version and it previously worked without a hitch and then as soon as I upgraded to iOS 26, it refuses to connect. False advertising on the company is part because it claims to work with every single. iOS version.
Doesn’t work with BMW
Can’t put my brakes in service mode. Waste of time.
iOS 26
This app will not connect with iOS 26 but says it’s compatible.
Лишь бы деньги получить.
Ради денег половину доступных датчиков с последними обновлениями забрали . И от датчиков теперь толку нет😤. Конечно если купить PRO!!! версию все будет. Не стыда не совести.
Everything now requires subscription
It used to be good, but no more
Won’t work with Toyota bZ
I bought this app several months ago to use with my Honda Prologue. It worked perfectly and I used it every day. I have since traded my Honda for a Toyota bZ (2026). My OBD2 dongle connects fine, but I cannot read many of the parameters I need. Apparently the app does not yet support the 2026 bZ. So, I have a scanner and an app that I can no longer use. Toyota bZ owners, be aware.
Needs an update.
Over 6months no update. Multiple updates. Issues with latest iOS update. No problem with older version.
Used to be able to use without being Pro
I was very pleased using this app but now I can’t use the same sensors that were free. It’s now saying I need to upgrade to pro to see them. Very unfortunate.
