User Reviews

Most reviews describe the Kiwi OBD app as unstable and unreliable on iOS, with frequent crashes during diagnostics and poor Bluetooth connectivity. The software seems poorly maintained, lacking timely updates for modern iOS, and features often require extra licenses, frustrating users. Support is seen as non-responsive. While a connection can yield gauge data, the overall experience is negative and drives users to seek alternatives.

  • When it connects, gauge data and basic diagnostics are visible.
  • Some users still find the app concept appealing or promising when it works.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and instability during diagnostics or code reading; the app closes or freezes often.
  • Unreliable Bluetooth connections with Kiwi devices, including drops, slow pairing, and intermittent connectivity.
