Reviews for Car Scanner ELM OBD2

Had a check engine light come on my car a couple months ago. Connected to my bluetooth OBDII device quickly and easily. Got the codes in a few seconds and was able to diagnose the issue and make repairs. Having an older, higher mileage car I need a quality app to help me keep this […]

I tried a few other OBD2 apps before deciding on one, and this one was by far the best & easiest to use. In fact I couldn’t get the others to work on either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Seems that for this kind of app Bluetooth is the way to go. There are too many variables […]

There was a little learning involved, with this free app, but it worked great. To clear a fault code, you have to turn the motor off, log out of the connect feature in the app, and then log back in with the connect tab. It took a couple of tries to get that right. Plus, […]

Not a bad app. I like that everything is customizable (like the gauges on the dashboard). The app only has two problems: 1) After a period of time (about a month on average) it shows that your trial has expired. The problem I have with that is there is nothing about this being a trial […]

Tried a whole bunch of these car scanner apps. This is by far the best. If you have an ELM code reader device, this is the software to get. The basic free app will work for most people. For a minor cost for the pro version you unlock additional useful monitoring parameters. Developers: I can […]

I bought a scanner from Amazon to read an ABS fault code. This was the first app I tried and, with the default settings, didn’t get any results. I tried several other apps to no avail. Finally, I came back to Car Scanner ELM OBD2 as i recalled a message saying there was an option […]

Pretty neat app. I’ve only used it with my car on not running yet so I’ll update when I get to use the other features but my check engine light is on and I had bought a “micro mechanic” device so I could get more information than I got from AutoZone but the app that […]

I have used CarScanner a few times with my IONIQ 5. Today, suddenly, the gauge I wanted to read says only available in the pro version. I looked around in the app and on the website and wasn’t able to find any explanation as to why this behavior started suddenly in the middle of my […]

It used to work great with my Bluetooth obd2 reader, and now it’s just won’t connect. Other apps connecting to the unit with no issues so there must be something in the app. I tried to restart, reconnect the Bluetooth unit, checked for updates.. nothing worked. It’s a bit annoying since I paid for the […]

I’ve tried pretty much every obd2 app there is and this one is by far the best! you’re able to get more features free than any other app and it’s layout is easy to navigate. I’m trying to figure out how to purchase the app right now but can’t seem to figure it out.. I’m […]

This is the most comprehensive app that I found for use with Toyota Hybrids and PHEV’s. It can display power and current flow in and out of the traction battery, and coolant temperatures for the engine, transmission, and traction battery. FYI: always unplug your OBD2 scan tool before you walk away from the car. Some […]

For those people who are complaining about the Android Auto dashboard view. You are banging on the wrong door. It is the limitations of Google’s Android Auto interface! – The developer of this app is amazing! I had sent a few months ago a feature request through the app to add Android Auto support and […]

Excellent app! Does everything I need it too and more, I’ve been working on cars for 20 years now and never used a Bluetooth scanner before! I would always use the really expensive snap on scanners, but with this app I will save so much $$$$$. It works perfectly, the paid version is sooooo much […]

Love it for the gas tracking feature. But the auto 🛺 collaboration features don’t get as close as I would like. I have just been manually adjusting the gps offset and fuel calibration consumption. Which is the bigger the number you manually put in the more it says you used. So if it is too […]

Fairly comprehensive The only thing I wish it could do is program keys and remotes, if it is there I haven’t found it yet. Only used it once to realize it was good. Previously I had used another app, but had limited info. I thought my Bluetooth reader didn’t read right. I was looking at […]

I heard about this app being good for use with EVs. while it won’t replace a $500 scan tool,it gets for 90% there at a fraction of the cost. I really enjoy how every time I connect to the car, it logs the information that I can pull up at a later date and search […]

Great app that does way more than I expected. Most everything can be accessed for free, but for a little over 5$ you can access everything now and even everything added later down the road as thats all a lifetime subscription. Surprised, thankful, and happy I found this app before dropping 400$ plus on diagnostics […]

I’m a Single lady and independent person, but not very car savvy. I can do minor stuff, but I leave the big stuff to the professionals. this app is AMAZING! I have diagnosed a few things and told my mechanic exactly what was wrong. it was correct. This app is so easy to use! And […]

After Torque Lite stopped getting updated, I needed something else that worked just as well. I came across this app after trying 3 others. For someone who has to work on their own vehicles, this is perfection. We’re a large family who believes in living within their means and that equates to buying older vehicles […]

Just got free Car Scanner app. Started checking it with various devices. I want to be able to graph my fuel trims while vehicle running. Free version allows you to graph 2 parameters at a time. The graph is good. When I found out the upgraded paid version was only $5.+ for forever use, I […]
