## Review summary

User reviews are largely negative, revolving around Bluetooth pairing/detection failures, broad compatibility issues with dongles and devices, and inconsistent reliability. Many users report the app does not work or only works on specific setups, with limited or ineffective support. A few mentions note occasional usefulness (e.g., reading protocols) or success on particular vehicles, but overall the experience is unreliable and frustrating.

### Pros

- Works great.
- Reads OBD-II protocols for different vehicles.
- May work on some vehicles (e.g., Rav4) though not universally.

### Cons

- Bluetooth connectivity problems across devices and dongles (difficult to connect, pair, or detect the dongle).
- Compatibility issues with various dongles, vehicles, and Android versions (works on some setups but not others).
- Reliability problems (multiple reports of 'doesn’t work', 'never worked', or being unusable).
- Poor UI/ usability and weak or non-existent help/support (typing UI is clunky; help button often ineffective).
