## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's ability to display valuable engine data, especially via the legacy version for older engines. However, multiple reviews highlight persistent connection issues, frequent app crashes, and lack of support or detailed instructions, leading to frustration. The Easy Connect setup is often non-functional, and advertised features such as fuel economy are missing. Overall, while the app can be useful, reliability and support problems undermine user experience.

- Fails to connect properly; many users report inability to establish connection despite correct Bluetooth pairing.
- The Easy Connect interface selection is blank or non-functional, causing setup to stall.
- Lack of clear instructions, manual, and customer support leads to user dissatisfaction.
- Does not deliver advertised features like fuel economy data, causing users to feel misled.
