Great little app! Problems connecting to adapter at first, so I used the bug report function and received an email response from the developer about the issue. Within a few days an updated version was released that worked perfectly. App interface is clear and easy, and works like a charm giving quick and simple information.

Great charts The charts are better than torque and easy to log data. I would like to see the ability to overlay charts such as the o2 sensors before and after cat. Overall, pretty good app.

No Bait and Hook This gives you diagnose codes and lets you clear codes for free. Others will waste your time by after installing make you pay to see the codes or clear codes.

The MPG part has great instant feedback While driving you will see. In real time when you're using gas and helps save gas by keeping your foot off the gas (coasting) after accelerating

Gets stuck Gets to the window where it asks for the vehicle make and then gets stuck saying please wait. Tried on two vehicles with Kiwi adapter. Too bad.
