★★☆☆☆ App UI/UX is rather crude and confusing, and functionality is middling. Prior to purchasing this software license, I emailed Bimmergeeks customer service asking them explicitly if the app would allow me to check OBD Readiness. Their response was "Yes, the app can do that. Drivetrain > Engine > Functions > OBD Readiness." Simple, right? I forked over my $159 investment. Unfortunately, the app doesn't do that! There is quite literally no such function within the app. Over the course of the month that followed, Bimmergeeks’ customer service told me on 3 separate occasions that an update was coming for the app within the next 24 hours that would provide the missing functionality. However, the functionality never came; and despite the deception (whether intentional or just negligent), Bimmergeeks was uninterested in doing anything about it. Further, if you look back at old reviews on the Play Store, you'll see a Nov 6, 2019 review, to which the developer responded stating that OBD Readiness functionality was already within the app. That's 47 months ago, and the functionality still isn't there today! OBD Readiness is a pretty basic functionality—it can be checked with a $20 standalone diagnostic tool from Amazon or a free trip to Autozone. Nevertheless, I’m sure many people may find enough value in this software to justify its cost despite its shortcomings. But, if you’re looking for a “pro tool” and you think you’re going to get that here for $159, you may want to keep looking. You may well save yourself a lot of time and headache.

★★☆☆☆ I like protocol and have used It many times using a dcan lead, but unfortunately I have misplaced the lead however I do have a Bluetooth carly adapter but for some reason this doesn't work with the protocol app. What's the difference between carly Bluetooth adapter and bimmergeeks adapter? Apart from spending alot more money I really don't see any difference between the two they both have Bluetooth capability, so why lock the app to specific adapters? FOR THAT REASON I'm OUT.
