We own 4 Prius Gen 3 (2010-2015) vehicles at my home and this app is a godsend for tracking our hybrid batteries. 3 of our cars have now needed a battery replacement and this has made it easy to track down which cells are doing bad. We fully replaced on of the hybrids, but thanks […]

(Worst spent money I ever had. Special functions are not working on Gen2 prius. all the rest available from the free version. Also even I paid for the “professional” level, keep asking me for further purchase. No Question,I will not going to pay more…. In summary, it is a ripoff.) I received a very fair […]

This app is so easy to use with any Prius! Just be sure you have the right OBD2 adapter. This app tells you which one to buy, too! You can find your error codes and reset them too, even while driving. This is useful when your HV battery is starting to fail until your new […]

Not a bad app for testing hybrid battery, only issue is, it connects 1/10 x you have to keep closing and opening the app till it connects, for me anyway.. but its Worth it…., I used a viecar cost $28 and a obdII Bluetooth $5 adapter from ali express. I got the personal package, beats […]

up until this last update i loved it, only thing i dont like is the update scheme on the battery monitor. it seems way to slow even on the fastest update. im using it on a galaxy s9. other than that it works great. im a mechanic by trade and bought this car to learn […]

While the app does what it is says it does, it has trouble connecting to my obd2 scanner. I have tried two of the one’s on their list it only connect after multiple tries. It also seems like it is using data from the battery and displaying codes that are not actually there. While this […]

Amazing software, and fantastic customer service. I was able to rule out my hybrid battery as the culprit for my reduced mpg. Initially the app wouldn’t process my payment but I was able to quickly resolve it through the customer support email. You just gotta read the obd II compatibility section in the app to […]

The battery monitoring screen is confusing because it self adjusts vertical span… versus a fixed voltage range. For me (a EE) I’d get more out of it if it were fixed range of maybe 0.5v/block vertical span. Still auto-center the scale, but don’t auto-change the vertical voltage span. It would be a great user option… […]

Before even using it, 5 stars! Clearly lovingly put together, with lots of work into scanner testing and compiling resources. Gold already just for that! Hoping it’ll work with my Nexpeak K1, more expensive than the one that was tested (more expensive for immobilizer functions, which it worked great for. I’m assuming that means greater […]

Been very helpful my ECU throws battery codes everyday. It drives horribly until I clear the codes then it’s back to normal. I don’t understand what the colors mean specifically. It needs a legend or something to explain the colors. Also the on app purchases are a bit on the pricey side. If it was […]

What is included in the free app? This info isn’t even in the app itself. I’d happily give you money of I knew what the difference was. The thing seems not to tell of you have real data coming through or not. I got linked up and have no idea what features work (no prompt […]

This is a scam app. They don’t log the the VIN#. So, after 3 tries on the same vehicle it said I used up my licenses. First try it gave error message related to cold battery voltage. Then I tried 2 more times. When I wanted to try again the App said I used up […]

Great app, gave me confidence buying a used prius. Prices and restrictions for the in-app options should be listed upfront. I consider the price reasonable, but I couldn’t learn what it was and what the restrictions were until I was sitting in the car, so I couldn’t decide if it was worth it vs. a […]

I love the app, but made the mistake of showing someone how it works on their car. now u can’t use it on my 3rd prius because I’ve “used my 3 licenses.” I didn’t run the pro tests on their car. why did it use up a license? why is there nowhere to contact someone […]

This app is a scam, I have downliad the app, looked at the demo, have seen the demo readings, paid the full price thinking it will work after the payment. And still did not se a single reading. I can show the screenshot but cannot upload here. Also, asked for refund, but no money back!!! […]

I paid for the license back in May and now after the update it says the cumulative voltage is a paid add on but I paid how do I get it back

used to work reliably now it won’t connect 95% of the time so I literally have to try reconnecting over and over again sometimes for like 40 minutes before it finally connects. I’ve tried with several different dongles that all used to work just fine and now not a single one of them will connect […]

If you’re shopping for a hybrid, you MUST use this app! The price for a unlimited license is drop in the bucket compared any problem you can find in a cars battery. (I have tested bad batterys at dealerships can not pick up on) It’s actually super lucky to have access to this information. Never […]

Pros: Easy to set up, easy to use, clear instructions on the battery test, clear results on screen that explain the condition of the battery. Cons: You can only use the personal licence 3 times for $11.99+tax, gave me an error message when trying to save my results. I feel it’s a bit overpriced for […]
