User Reviews

Overall, users praise SmartControl OBD2 for easy adapter pairing and a broad feature set, including DPF monitoring on Mazdas, with the free version offering substantial capabilities. However, recurring complaints center on connectivity issues (Bluetooth/LE) and instability, occasional crashes after updates, and difficulties locating or enabling the DPF features on certain cars. Android Auto support is notably missing for some users. The app is generally user-friendly when it works, and performance improves with guidance from the dev, but reliability remains a common concern.

Pros

Easy to connect to OBD adapters / straightforward setup
DPF monitoring capability especially on Mazda diesel engines
Free version offers substantial features (DPF data, engine-light control)
User-friendly and feature-rich interface

Cons

Frequent connection issues / unable to connect / unstable Bluetooth connections
DPF monitoring feature not easily accessible or not visible for some vehicles
App instability and occasional crashes after updates / reliability concerns

Recent reviews

App is OK for bits. But it's very unstable and looses connection. I have done every thing the developer told me to but still looses connection. Its only done it since the 2024 update. The developer is still trying to help me though this Update. All seems fine now been a few weeks and no problems. Back to being a great app. Well worthit if you have a mazda desiel. been working great for years but now I get no GPS I have checked the settings but no luck. I have sent emails but no response.
