Loved this OBDII reader, used it for years. Is very simple and easy to understand. Upgraded to a new phone and app in not compatible, wish it would be updated, so I could use it again.
★★★★★elacas1· Mar 23, 2026
I prefer this version over the pro wich I paid for please update it to work with newer phones
★★★★☆Emanuel Kosta (Manoli)· Oct 4, 2025
The application is very good but needs to be updated, because it is for older Android versions, it is better to update to new Android versions.
