Review on Next Generation Professional OBD2 Bluetooth Diagnostic Scan Tool - Obdeleven Starter Edition for Android and iOS by Joe Stax

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I want to love but So many problems

Where to start. One star for the user interface. Clean, well designed. Another star for the idea - car diagnostics on the iPhone via Bluetooth - wow! But after that you let me down. Scanning a car takes forever. 5-8 minutes? Come on. I did the same thing in less than 30 seconds using a standard auto repair shop reader. More than half the time I try to scan the app freezes, I think it's because your iPhone's display is sleeping. Disable the display sleep setting on your iPhone or turn it on for up to 5 minutes before the display goes to sleep. But if the application freezes halfway, it's impossible to recover. Force close the application. Turn off the car and restart. Restart the application. Pray to sweet Jesus if you like. My iPhone FYI is the latest of the new models. I don't know if the problem is with the app or the device. Personally, I wish I'd just bought an old-fashioned reader with a cable dongle attached.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • High price
