Unreliable and Inaccurate Diagnostic Scanner

Based on my observations this automotive scanner failed to provide accurate and reliable diagnostic results. While it was easy to install, the scanner frequently malfunctioned and produced inconsistent readings. The only positive aspect is its compatibility with Android devices... However, this does not outweigh the cons of its overall poor performance. I do not recommend this product for anyone looking for dependable and trustworthy diagnostic results..

Pros
  • Easy to use and compatible with both Android and Windows devices.
Cons
  • Requires a 3rd party app to function properly, which can be an additional cost.

Buggy Automotive Scanner Disappoints

This scanner was a waste of money. It didn't work properly and was buggy on my Android device .The only good thing is that it's compact and easy to carry. The cons heavily outweigh the benefits. I would not recommend this to anyone in the automotive industry..

Pros
  • Easy and quick access to a vehicle's diagnostic information through a smartphone or tablet.
Cons
  • Requires a separate app download and may only work with certain makes and models of vehicles.

Good product: diagnostic, testing and measuring tools

That was the answer. He diagnosed my engine check problem. I bought the part and took it to the mechanic. Told him I wanted to fix it without overpaying. I am a woman.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I will add later
