My husband bought one of the Hyper Tough brand code readers and it has helped us out majorly. I love that all I gotta do is use my Bluetooth to connect, go to the app, let it find the code reader, simply click Live Data, and it's starts recording what your vehicle is doing. It's easy to set up, and BOOM, there you are "ALL SET". It's pretty cool, how you get to pick the things you need or want to see when your driving if you're needing any assistance/help.

I've been happy with this scanner since I bought it, and was wildly surprised to see that it did a fair amount of updates automatically when I'd go to use it. For the price it's worth every penny. I'll have to invest in another scanner though that offers relearning procedures, but please correct me if I'm missing somewhere where it in fact does for simple fixes such as crankshaft position sensors, cam sensors, etc.

After spending over $230 on the 3140rs scanner today. I am extreemly disappointeI. I like the scanner but expected a lot more function out of the app. I sure did not expect to have to pay for additional vin numbers. The app will only work with one vehicle unless you pay extra.. I also cannot send reports via email or some other method, there is not any pc software. There is not even web portal to view your reports. What is the point for the scanner to have wifi & bluetooth.

This is actually a handy little app. It's really useful for looking up TSBs and Recalls. While the scan tool and app aren't quite as useful as the various dealer scan tools I've used in my tenure as a mechanic, it's really exceptional for the average consumer and their needs. I found it easy to use/navigate, and the tool had no trouble pairing to my phone. Obviously, that experience will vary based on individuals' phones and tech knowledge, but it worked well for me.

App works on certain vehicles. Takes forever to generate a report, then when it finishes it won't load to profile, try again multiple times and it states it can't generate report. Works on wifes car, but for some reason not my truck. Only thing I can do is run a live reading, even then it doesn't give options for readings of cylinder misfires etc

App worked great one time, and no matter what I did, I couldn't get it to connect again. Support was no help. I decided to try my wife's iPhone in case the dongle was bad, but hers connected once as well. Idk, maybe it was the product and not the app, but either way, it's made by the same company, and clearly they don't do extensive testing on their products. Lots of people having the same issue.

There's another app/sensor that is much better. That being B.D. You have to leave this app open. The app disconnects the sensor if run in the background, forcing a restart. Also, you can't scan codes while the car is in motion. And it doesn't automatically remember vehicle's credentials the next time it's plugged in. The competition does all of these things and more than I'd like to write about. AND THEY OPENLY ADMIT THEY WILL SELL YOUR INFORMATION UNLESS YOU LIVE IN CA

Had a blinking check engine light on a 2012 Toyota FJ, started running roughly with a very regular hesitation, didn't want to go over 35-40, so I drove another car to Harbor Freight and got this. I followed the directions and it paired easily. The one important difference, once it's paired, the app tells you to turn the vehicle ON, not ACC, just don't start it, that's right. It ID'ed a slew of things, I cleaned the Mass Airflow Sensor (dang bug), presto, drove it, tested it again, all clear!

I use this app with my Android 9. Pairing with Bluetooth hasn't been an issue. Haven't tried pairing with Wifi yet. Handy tool which provides a lot of information through this app. After scanning my vehicle, 2014 Mustang, a report was created with information on estimated costs, labor, and even the nearest auto shops that sell the parts needed to fix my vehicle's issues. This app has definitely saved me time and money from the mechanic.

Super helpful. I've done my own stuff on repairs for a long time but never owned a code reader. Since my local parts dealer will no longer erase codes, i bought this one really for that purpose alone. But what's really great is the ability to get real time live engine data when I'm driving. Very cool. And because it is Bluetooth enabled, i an able to record that data for review later when I'm not driving. I like this and would recommend it.
