I like how easy it is to reset dash lights, I don’t like the fact that it keeps trying to make me purchase a subscription. Also you can’t use all the features unless you buy a subscription

Excellent device. I didn't use the subscription service past the trial period, but it's a very useful device even without the subscription. It helped me with a battery issue I was having without having to use my volt meter.

Payed for itself the first day. Scanned my 2013 Sonic, identified a bad thermostat housing. Watched a YouTube video on how to fix it, bought the part, changed it out in a half hour. Saved $200 in labor at a repair shop. Sweet. Have used it on all the families cars, nice when it finds a code, but even better when it does not.

Saw this on sale for $30 and thought I would give it a shot. Setup was easy, and the app has some nice features. Haven't had any "engine warnings" come on so I can't speak to that, but it seems like the other reviews have good things to saw about it. Just know that this is strictly a diagnostic device for your engine. It doesn't have any location tracking features or show where you've driven like the Automatic Pro. It's a good buy if you strictly need a diagnostic device.

Dont waste your money. No it user friendly when it comes to trying to add additional vehicles and getting it to pair with phone at times. Plus I did not like that you get only one free week subscription before you have to purchase subscription. I mean come on I have almost a month to return it if I have to but only one free week. Its ok to use for simple diagnostic but beyond that your not going to get a whole lot extra. Its better than nothing in a pinch I guess.i used it on a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 2018 Nissan Murano.

Purchased this as a gift and the recipient said they used it and it identified a small problem. They are pleased with it and will continue to use it so I purchased one for myself but I have not used it yet

Easy to use. Bought one for myself at the $ 39.99 sale as the check engine light came on. Also bought one for BFF for Christmas.
Saw an earlier review about avoiding the subscription by using the "Car Scanner" app . The icon with the white engine in the blue square. It works.
Would recommmend to others to buy.

I got this to figure out what might be wrong with my vehicle before going to the mechanic. I like to be prepared for what they might find or what I might have to pay for. It's great, too, for being prepared to say no to unnecessary upgrades or "fixes." It's been over a year, and I still use it with my new vehicle.

Got immediate answers to check engine light warning. In some of these modern cars, when something goes wrong lots of warning lights come on with the check engine light. Scary!

Heard a couple of reviews about this not being good but I can verify that it worked perfectly. I had a code show up and I bought this, tested it and got the code. Went to AutoZone and had them check it and it was right on the money. A great tool. Oh and yes you can see a variety of live data from the app as well

Plugged it in and was happy with the results but you have to buy a premium version to use the other features.

It does what it says. Mostly tells you what may be wrong and a reminder for stuff your car may need. If it’s something big with your car you will need an actual diagnostic but still pretty neat device.
