User Reviews

Users appreciate PHEV Watchdog Lite for its detailed vehicle and battery information, especially for Outlander PHEV models up to 2021. The app pairs well with various Bluetooth OBD2 adapters and has a minimalist, futuristic UI. However, common complaints include frequent crashes, poor support for newer car models, unintuitive tire pressure readings, connection instability with Bluetooth devices, and the presence of distracting ads. Despite these issues, the developer is considered responsive, and the paid version is favored for extended features and ad removal.

Doesn't work with Topdon OBD scanner, even though Topdon provides professional grade scanners for professionals. Sorry for it should at least be included in this app. It did work with another cheap reader I got. Worked okay.
