U-Scan

Great App and Dongle

Yes you have to purchase additional modules. But compare the total cost of this solution to an actron CP9580a at over $200 and you see that it's much better. Live data is awesome! And you don't have to have another device around. You use the existing infrastructure of your smartphone. Very smart indeed!

False advertising.

One star because zero isn't available. Presented as able to do a little and a lot more if you buy the extras. False. Does absolutely nothing except tell me that I have to buy stuff to make it work. Also asks me to plug it into a vehicle when it's already plugged into a vehicle and it's displaying that vehicle’s VIN on the phone.

Scam by nickel & diming you

You pay $80 for the device with no mention that you need to pay extra for each vehicle you want to see diagnostic data and power train, ABS, airbags, etc categories are each a separate fee. I'm returning this today...

A good tool for what it is....

Looking for a first car for my 15 year old and thought a OBD-II scanner would come in handy. Purchased U-Scan hardware at a local automotive parts store and tried to install on my iTouch, but the App Store would not allow me to directly install. Ended up downloading to a desktop PC and then pushing over the USB. To test and get familure with the app, I plugged it into my 2013 Ram 1500 and 2011 Dodge Durango - both vehicles could not take advantage of all the apps features (live data/graphs). These problems aside, I took the reader with me to look at some cars and did find it useful. I was able to verify one vehilce likely had O2 sensors removed/tampered with. I realize a lot of used car sales would reset the computer, so a scanner alone will not tell me everything, butit is a good start. I am going to hang onto the U-Scan and try again with a iPhone 5 and see if it works better with it.

App always crashes

Probably not worth the money until the app is fixed. Considering returning it... Too bad I can't return the app. :-(

Returning.

Should take less than 5 mind to install and read codes. App constantly crashes. 80 bucks for scanner and now another 15.99 to do anything with the data. Their business model is broken just like the product.

Good piece of equipment

This little reader works well for my purposes. Viewing live engine data, as well as check engine codes and the ability to clear them. Yes, the in app purchase to view live data for a single car is 7 or 8 bucks, and around 9 or 10 for any. But it's worth it, and a very fun tool to play with. 4 stars because updating is slow, and the app occasionally crashes when selecting menu items. I'll definitely recommend this to all my friends.

$80 for the scanner then they charge you another $15.99 to see the data! RETURNING NOW!!

Bad app

Poorly written, cheats you when you attempt in-app purchases.

eh

having used other scan tools (oem and others) I find this to be barely useful. I have tried it 4 of my own vehicles (all late 90s jeep and GM so the pids should all be readily available) and there is barely any data displayed. most of the time it can't even discover the correct available modules. there is a lack of customizability when data is displayed and you're forced into landscape mode. with a little work this app could be the best in it's category but there hasn't been an update to it since I bought it a year ago it would be great if it would auto detect and connect to the bluetooth obd connector instead of being required to manually connect in settings. also once connected it takes the app almost 2 minutes to realize it's connected. if I don't add the vehicle to my garage it won't let me do anything else with it. sometimes I just want to scan for codes without adding to my garage
