Comments on ELMScan Adapter Validator for Android

★★★★★ Cassie Carder · Jul 7, 2026
Awesome, it did exactly what it said. It showed my OBDII device was connecting and compatible.
★★★★★ Me Andme · Sep 4, 2023
Perfect solution to test the OBDLink MX +, the vLinker FS and clone ELM327. The vLinker tested the best with the OBDLink a tight second. Great application and highly recommended for any type of ELM device.
★★★★★ Andrew Lindh · Jul 10, 2024
Works great! Test if your adapter is good or fake.
★★☆☆☆ Bill Sann · Apr 23, 2022
It doesn't want to connect I finally get it to connect and unless you understand what V1 V2 V8 V7 well none of that makes any sense to me, and I don't feel like looking it up, and then it doesn't stay connected it says not compatible I uninstalled it
