Comments on ScanMaster for ELM327 OBD-2 for Android

★★★★☆ Michael Paisis (PofC) · May 9, 2025
It connects easily, and it gives u many parameters to look at. But you need a PhD in engineering to understand it most of it. Simple ones are fine but if each included a simple explanation it will make this app the best in the market; Also another thing is that I can't email the log files or download them in txt or notepad++ files, so we can easily read them.
★★★★★ Richard S · Jul 31, 2025
This app actually clears up ghost codes thanks
★★★★★ kingpest 13 · Jul 20, 2026
This app teleported my truck to the mechanic who fixed it for free!
★★☆☆☆ Adam B · Jun 2, 2026
Nothings for free. You can't use it unless you pay. Some other apps let you use a lot of the functions for free
★☆☆☆☆ Cyrus Stothard · Nov 10, 2024
App doesn't work. Constant error when attempting connection or to find adapter
★☆☆☆☆ Grant Esterhuyse · Oct 27, 2025
How does one test the Lite or Free version to make sure all the functionality in the paid version is what you want. Huh ?
★☆☆☆☆ Arni Bjorn Olafsson · Oct 4, 2026
Trying it as an alternative app for what I have used, but it does not work with elm327 mini Bluetooth.

     APOS BT OBD 327

     OBDLink LX
     OBDLink Bluetooth and WiFI
     ELM327 Bluetooth and WiFi
Pearl Lescars Bluetooth and WiFi
