This software in conjunction with the OBD dongle are fairly capable but lack basic abilities like HVAC system recalibrations. Data loads fairly quickly and what you get for the size and price is pretty good. I use it as an automotive professional as my backup and it’s helped me out quite a few times. The layout will be familiar if you’ve used any other aftermarket tool from Asia. The biggest draw back is that when the app is updated through the App Store, the vast majority of manufacturer software packages already downloaded get deleted. I have to go back in and re-download all of the ones I use. I don’t want to hit Download All because there are a ton of brands that aren’t sold in the USA and I don’t want more useless data clogging my phone’s storage. If this problem were solved, I’d give the app 5 stars.

I love this tool and app. I think the speed is very fast on acquiring data and it works amazingly well. My only issue is whenever you do actuator tests or bidirectional tests, it doesn’t really tell you what conditions are not met to run the tests or why they don’t work correctly. Other than that I highly recommend it! It’s amazing and I think will only get better with time!UPDATE: Thank you developer for looking into it. I really have been spreading the word with this tool and have been using it every day almost. My cousin owns a shop and he said he’s impressed it can 95% of the things his $1000 scan tool can do. I know you can only do so much and keep the price point low still but you are above and beyond all the other scan tools at this price point and I’ve used like four or five of them before I settled on this one.

I have quite a few scan tools from various manufacturers. Mostly stand alone units. I wanted something I could throw in my glove box. I bought three different Bluetooth scanners since I have three vehicles, I figured I could test a few different units and have a simple solution in each vehicle. This GearWrench scan tool if my favorite. It has a vast amount of actions and resets. The software looks very similar to a Xtool stand alone scanner I have. I use HPTuners to create custom tunes. It’s nice to have an easy Bluetooth scanners so I can reset/relearn fuel trims or gearbox relearns. The Xtool does this quickly and easily.
