Is it possible to make a landscape version for tablets? I have an android head unit but it wont open on it. Also a virtual cockpit design would be neat.

Wonderful App. Only issue is cannot be added to Android Auto so that I can see the parameters on Car display. The App works only on Mobile screen

Every time the app loads it pulls all the information it’s supposed to, but it forces my phone to use internal speakers rather than the car’s via Bluetooth connection Update: tried setting “Use Bluetooth Audio”, no change

So good this app is not like the others where it doesn’t crash all the time and get stuck it’s an easy to use use it friendly app if they could add a few more features including engine specs in real time would be beneficial

Works well, dashboard provides all I need. Would like to see engine temp value larger, very hard to read.

Fantastic app, downloaded this app to view the dpf soot accumulation on my Mazda 3 diesel (2012 – 150bhp 2.2 litre) It’s helping me to understand when my car regens and what driving style makes the process quicker.

This is a great odbc app. The odometer is bit off, the gps value is more valid, and gpx logging/export is missing. Lot of other features….not working at all witht the latest version

Works well. Not sure how accurate fuel is but relatively it works good. Like the warning when engine temp is not reached. Measure power output acceleration etc automatically

Best OBD reader/app, I’ve found. Couldn’t purchase the full version from the Play Store but could through the app itself. Well worth the few quid, if you’re a Mazda diesel driver.

App is OK for bits. But it’s very unstable and looses connection. I have done every thing the developer told me to but still looses connection. Its only done it since the 2024 update. The developer is still trying to help me though this Update. All seems fine now been a few weeks and no […]

Simply stops working. As soon as I save the profile the app slows down to a stop, everything on the mobile (s10) gets slowdown. The only option is remove and install without saving the profile.

Excellent app. I wanted an app to monitor the DPF levels on a Mazda and the free version of this app can do that. Also has a lot of other useful features and can turn off engine light for free too.

Cannot connect to a Citroen DS4…I tested more than 10 OBD applications, no connection issues…I tried to connect to my ELM327 for 3 days, no succes. A few years ago I used your application on a Mazda 3, 2006, and it was perfect…I enjoyed a lot using it…but this time is a nightmare…

it is fun and colorful, but that’s it… readings are not accurate… the torque and HP are way out of charts, I have a cap 144nm car stock with 11 Years old and this one measure more than 200nm :)))… the fuel consumption is about double than real… the speed and RPM’s are accurate :)) […]

Most annoying: before starting a trip, the app must be started manually and almost in all cases, I have to enter the PIN code of the OBD2 dongle. Furthermore, Bluetooth 4.0 LE is not supported. It has some nice features but given the aforementioned issues, I will not use this app (until maybe a next […]

Nice little app. Two years ago I have bought the full (Pro) version because I liked the app very much, and I was happy with it, until the author renamed the full version to Smart Control Premium, which requires a new buy. The “Pro” version is not upgraded anymore. This policy is unfair, and I […]

Though accurate on my old Seat Leon, Seat Cordoba and Ford Galaxy, the app does not work well with my new Dacia (Renault) Logan. It does not show the instant fuel consumption and the average consumption shows wrong values. It is impossible that the car takes 0,9 l/100 km, although I wish! After applying correction, […]

Easy to connect to my adaptor, but the main reason I opted for this one and paid for the full version is to monitor DPF levels on my Mazda. I’ve been assured it can do this but I cannot find the option to activate this. Hopefully, Nicola will reply to my email and guide me […]

Didn’t have my 2009 Citroen Dispatch listed, so it required manually entering all the parameters. I got frustrated with that and gave up, to try again later when I had more time. I exited the app and closed everything. From then on, it kept opening itself in the background and bringing up notifications. No matter […]
