Pretty good app. I just can't get the Live Data to work. The scan tool will be plugged in/connected & on Live Data and showing the data. But when I pull up the app on my phone & go to Live Data....nothing. I don't think live data has ever worked. Even for the 2 previous cars that I had. Not sure what's up there. Other than that, it's great.

I've used on my son's friends car to diagnose his check engine Iight, and it was completely different then what the mechanic said, needed a new catalytic converter, turned out it was the O² sensor. Slight price difference. So far I've been impressed, as the app gives you the info of the code, so you don't have to go thru the huge list of codes to find the description of the fault code. Plus you get automatic updates to the database, w/out yearly subscription costs.

While it's handy for a quick scan, the app seems to be fairly convoluted for what it does. There are plenty of categories to choose from, but in my case it always attempts to scan the TPMS system (and fails). Want to check some live data? Too bad, it spend 25 minutes scanning TPMS and hangs and or says 0 for tire pressure. (2016 Toyota) I was able to pull some data from other sensors like purge and barometric pressure, but others were missing like Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor among others.

This is quite possibly the greatest app to have ever apped. I'm not just saying that because a pocket scan tool gives me a tech boner. This app is extremely well designed and developed. It looks good. It loads fast. The interface is easy to use and understand. Dummy-proof step-by-step connecting. Automatic and full system scans. Solutions simply explained. It tells me what to buy, !gives me a part number! And gives me a source to buy the item. I can go on all day.

App pairs with device, starts download, then gives up about half way through with a message saying no data. I clearly see a code on the device. No way to try again without restarting the app, though retrying doesn't help. Had to look up the code on the web. App looks like it could be useful, given the list of expected routine maintenance items and estimated cost. But the primary function of interpreting codes doesn't work, because the app can't read the connected device.
