User Reviews

Users report the U-Scan app is unreliable: frequent Bluetooth pairing issues, connections dropping, and difficulty reconnecting. Updates and motion-detection changes often break live data and prevent monitoring while driving. The software is described as outdated and limited in vehicle coverage, with reports of unhelpful customer support and questionable value for money. A minority of reviewers say it works decently when connected and can read basic trouble codes (including ABS and airbag lights), but the overall sentiment is negative.

Pros

When the device connects, it generally works reasonably well for code reads and basic diagnostics.
Capable of reading trouble codes, including ABS and airbag lights.
Some older hardware versions reportedly offer usable performance.

Cons

Bluetooth pairing/connection problems are frequent and the device often fails to stay connected.
App updates frequently break functionality, including live data or monitoring while driving.
Motion/vehicle movement errors frequently prevent scans or force restarts.
Customer support is often described as poor and some reviews cite added costs with little value.
Software is outdated with limited vehicle coverage (older cars; newer modules may not be supported).

Recent reviews

When it stays connected, it works pretty good unfortunately it often loses his connection and reestablishing. It is troubleshooting and time-consuming, and sometimes not successful.

Review of U-Scan App version 1.2.8 (126). I have a red Mac Tools branded U-Scan device, from about 2019. Upon Bluetooth pairing to my iPhone 13 running iOS 17.0.3, there was a mandatory U-Scan firmware update. The update proceeded smoothly. As others have wrote, after the firmware update, I had trouble pairing with my iPhone. The U-Scan LED was blinking yellow. I unplugged the U-Scan to cycle its power. Although it was listed on my iPhone for pairing, it refused to connect. At some point in the firmware update process I was instructed to turn off the vehicle’s power. I eventually turned on the vehicle’s power and then the U-Scan quickly paired with my iPhone. Thus, the firmware update instructions failed to instruct to switch on the vehicle power. I had to figure that out myself. The vehicle is a 2020 Ford Transit 250 AWD. I recently had a check engine light. After three restarts the light was off. The U-Scan found and reported the error code and a brief description.
