User Reviews

DashOBD is valued for its rare support of real-time OBD2 data on Android Auto, especially on Android 14, and compatibility with quality adapters. However, users consistently note its text-only interface lacking graphical gauges, frequent connection issues with some Bluetooth dongles, and limited customization features mostly locked behind premium. The app also exhibits usability glitches and occasional instability. While it shows promise and has active development, many users desire better support, enhanced features, and improved UI for safer, easier use while driving.

Pros

Supports real-time OBD2 data display on Android Auto, including on Android 14, making it one of the few apps with this functionality.
Compatible with many popular OBD2 dongles and adapters, especially quality ones like ODBLink MX+.
Provides a basic and functional interface to monitor vehicle parameters in real time.
Developer shows potential and ongoing improvement efforts are appreciated by users.
Premium purchase helps support further development and enhancements of the app.

Cons

Lacks graphical gauges and widgets; data display is mostly text-only, making it hard to read while driving.
App has connectivity issues with some Bluetooth OBD2 dongles, failing to connect or load parameters.
Customization features, such as editing or deleting custom PIDs, and saving display configurations, are locked behind the premium version or are insufficiently implemented.
Scrolling through parameters is cumbersome, with interface glitches like jumping back to certain menus repeatedly.
App can be buggy, with occasional crashes and freezes; it lacks comprehensive support and developer responsiveness.

Recent reviews

Updated as now you can't use it while driving. Fine, does display obd data but is a little slow. My main issue is when scrolling through the parameters in the car, it keeps jumping back up to the trouble codes option. The app seems unsupported and the developer doesn't respond. Don't waste your money on premium as it adds very little.

The app has future, and I hope the developer will continue to enhance it. First you need a quality ELM327 adapter, not the 7.99 version as they do not support all the required parameters that your car may have. I use ODBLink MX+ and it is the only adapter that can get all the proper parameters using CarScanner. The cheapo ones do not get all the parameters. This app will read the standard J1979 params, but not the car proprietary customs ones, i.e. Trans Temp etc. I need ATF on AA!
