Great app

I have really enjoyed the functionality and versatility of this app. It connects with a whole lot of different Bluetooth devices to give you information about your vehicle at a basic level. I have not bought the professional level, and have not felt like I needed to. I get the basic information that I need. My vehicle is under a full warranty and so I already know what is going on when I take it into the shop.

Doesn’t log full trip, keeps disconnecting

This app will not log if you are not on the sensors screen. If you want to keep the log info, you have to email it to yourself, it won’t save to any cloud service you may have. Also, if you switch to another app then back, this app restarts and half the time will not connect back to the OBDII adapter. I am using the OBDLink MX+. I was going to buy the desktop version for my MacBook, but won’t be wasting the money since it probably has the same lack of stability as the iOS app. I paid for the year of PRO, but cancelled that so I don’t get charged again. If I had known there were these issues, I would have tried the monthly subscription, but wanted to save money and go for the year. An app that charges a monthly and yearly subscription fee should work much better than this one does.In response to the developers response, I have another app that works fine in the background with the OBDII adapter. I have other apps that have no problem running in the background either. Also, logging is important to me. I have a phone that has no issue with storage, so having the option to have it log the entire trip and store it to iCloud or another cloud based storage platform shouldn’t be an issue. You could make it an option that could be turned on or off by the end user instead of deciding what we need.

I'm sorry for your experience. You are right about how the logging works, this is to preserve the resources of the phone. The app cannot do anything about the behaviour when you but it in the background. This is how the iOS works.

This app is absolute garbage!!! When it would connect to the Veepeak adapter that it says is supported it would only stay connected for about 30 seconds and then it would disconnect. I bought a monthly subscription and got absolutely no extras for buying the subscription!!! We tried to hook it up to 10 different vehicles at our shop and it would only hook up to two but it would always disconnect. Does not display very much mode 06 data and it definitely doesn’t decipher it. I could buy a cheap $20 hand scanner that would display more mode 06 data and it would decipher it. I would recommend the Car Scanner app from the App Store. It has tons more features and displays much more information for absolutely free. Thankfully I only lost five bucks on this app and I would recommend to anyone NOT to buy this absolute piece of garbage app!!! It looks like it was put together in about five minutes. Extremely disappointed in this useless app!!!And NO, my adapter is not malfunctioning. We used seven different adapters and the app kept disconnecting from each one. So clearly this is a piece of garbage app and also it’s very clear that nobody likes this app. In fact they hate it. Just read your own reviews!!!

Horrible app. I wouldn’t suggest it.

This app is horrible. I got a Bluetooth OBD II reader for my mother a few years back and this was the app they suggested. My mother couldn’t get it to work so I tried it on my car and after a few attempts it worked on my car but wasn’t easy to use. I then tried it on my mother’s car and again it took me about 8 tries to get it to work but they wanted me to upgrade to clear her CEL. It barely works why would anyone pay $5 a month or $20 a year for an app that is so difficult to use? I tried to show her how to use it on her phone but after trying to connect on her iPhone for about 20 minutes I gave up. This app is junk, barely works of ever and if anyone buys the pay version good luck. PS I own a towing company and am a mechanic. I only got this for my mother to use on an older Subaru she insists on keeping. I have much better scanners.
