The app requires a separate ELM Wifi OBD2 adapter (ELM327 compatible scan tool) or Kiwi 3, OBDLink MX+, Carista, Vgate, LELink, Viecar, Tonwon, Veepeak, MicroTech or UniCarScan Bluetooth Low Energy adapter to communicate with car.

Pros and cons of OBD Auto Doctor car scanner app for iPhone and iPad

OBD Auto Doctor car scanner app good for

Out of 10 free apps I tried, it is the only one that works with my PLX device, Kiwi 2 wifi

Very nice and good working program, would be soooo nice to have a landscape mode and a possibility to change color so it will match interior))

Some bad moments

This program doesnt support any type of obd II devices (just cant connect). Dont waste your time.

Even in they web site say that is able to read Diesel Particulate Filter parameter ($017A $017B $017C) , and then you buy it, this app is not be able. So that, after buy, cant you get back your money ? No. so DO NOT BUY IT. (14€ I prefer give to poor people)

It seems to connect to my 2002 Kia Rio Cinco, but when I try to look at diagnostic codes it drops me into the IOS screen with app icons. Then when I start app it takes a minute to connect again. I am asking for a rebate of the $10.99 that I spent on it.

First, this is a nicely polished, fast and well done app. As a professional technician I use a professional level multi thousand dollar scanner every day. On thing I was looking for in this product in the Pro version was to be able to scan all systems quickly and conveniently before having to pull out my own scan tool. I was skeptical and somewhat misled by the following description "This app shows all control modules your vehicle supports”. I immediately went out and plugged it into a 2010 Prius and it came up with only 2 modules: Powertrain and Hybrid. The information was basic OBDII for both and it didn’t show me anything more than the other OBD software I’ve tried. I know from experience in using my own scantool that this vehicle has 18 modules in it. I feel pretty upset that I had to pay $10.99 to find that this wasn’t the case. A refund would be greatly appreciated.

Does not make clear that "clearing fault codes" requires in-app purchase of upgrade to Pro version for $10.

I went and pix for the app and no real info was added. Free tells you everything you need dont go pro waste of money I would like a refund as well
