Beware: Monthly Fees Apply

This feels like a scam, so be cautious. You are required to pay a monthly subscription to use it. I purchased it three years ago and only used it once on my new vehicle. When I tried to use it today, it prompted me to pay $15 a month. I wish I could return it, but it’s going straight in the trash. It's disappointing to sell something like this, knowing that most people will likely end up discarding it or returning it if they can. The reviews on the platform reflect this. There's no free trial either. A friend of mine recently bought one and managed to return his. Even their advertisement mentions a high return rate!

Buyer Beware: This Feels Like a Scam

This feels like a scam, so be cautious. You must pay a monthly subscription to use the service. I bought it three years ago and used it on my new vehicle just once. When I tried to use it today, it asked for $15 a month. I wish I could return it, but it’s going straight in the trash. It’s disappointing to sell something like this, knowing most will likely end up discarding it or returning it if possible. The reviews on the platform speak volumes. There's no free trial anymore. A friend of mine recently bought one and was fortunate enough to return his. Even their advertisement mentions a high return rate!

Untrustworthy Company

This company is untrustworthy. Good luck getting a refund. I discovered after purchasing that the app didn’t support my vehicle. When I politely requested a refund, they claimed it wasn’t possible because I used a certain payment method. They insisted that I set up the subscription through that method, which I did not. I didn’t even use the app! I would suggest avoiding this service entirely and opting for a more reliable option. I ended up purchasing another product with free lifetime updates.

A Little Bit of Magic!

As a fan of older vehicles, this tool truly empowers me to monitor the overall condition and any computer errors that arise. It’s a great relief to have it during long trips, knowing I can make informed decisions. Additionally, I’ve personalized some features on certain vehicles. Yes, it requires a subscription, but for older cars, it pays off quickly. The first time a warning light appears, I can understand what it means without needing to visit a repair shop. If you own multiple older cars, it’s a quick way to check their computer history. I highly recommend it!

Prices Much Higher in the App

Prices in the app are nearly double those on their website. I tried contacting customer service, and they asked for a screenshot? It seems easier for them to check their own prices. I attempted to send the screenshots multiple times, including a message without images, but I keep receiving replies stating that my emails are being blocked. What a ridiculous situation.

A Waste of Time and Money

I may have misjudged this product. I read all the information and thought it would be useful, but it turns out you have to pay extra for many features. I bought one, but it does almost nothing unless you subscribe to the costly service. In my opinion, it’s not worth the purchase price, and I plan to forget about it.

Unauthorized Recurring Charges

Once they have your credit card information, stopping the recurring charges is impossible. This has become a nightmare for me.

Not Sure What the Complaints Are About!

I’ve used this service for about 13 years since purchasing the lifetime package, and it’s genuinely the best app for diagnostics and simple customizations for various vehicles. I’ve never encountered any issues, and any questions I’ve had were answered within 48 hours by customer service. I hope they maintain this level of service. Great job!

Poor Customer Service Experience

I'm writing this because I mistakenly ordered the product, but they lack a cancellation option on their website. I emailed the company to cancel just one minute after placing the order, but they informed me that they only process cancellations on weekdays. Consequently, I have to return the product at my own expense due to their policies. If they can authorize an order on a weekend, why can't they manage cancellations? This reflects poorly on their customer service.

Disappointing Product Performance

Currently, I would rate this product as a 1-star. It used to have some useful features, but after not using it for a while, I needed to reset the service indicator and now can't do that. It shows some error codes but doesn’t explain them. Now they want almost £60 a year just for basic functions, which feels like a complete rip-off.
