No purchase required. This app is free for anyone to install. Some app features and functions require pairing with a compatible OBD2 Scan Tool or dongle. Note that not all features and functions are supported by every vehicle. Features and functions will vary by vehicle year, make, and model and are determined solely by the vehicle manufacturer.
* A “dongle” is a small adapter that you can plug into the OBD port of a vehicle. This port is usually found on the driver’s side under the dashboard in most cars and trucks.
This is quite possibly the greatest app to have ever apped. I’m not just saying that because a pocket scan tool gives me a tech boner. This app is extremely well designed and developed. It looks good. It loads fast. The interface is easy to use and understand. Dummy-proof step-by-step connecting. Automatic and full system scans. Solutions simply explained. It tells me what to buy, !gives me a part number! And gives me a source to buy the item. I can go on all day.
Great app so far, told me nothing wrong with one vehicle, but showed me what is due to be checked at the next maintenance interval. It also displayed some possible future issues and a chance of needing to be replaced as well as general costs for replacement. The only issue I have had with connection to my phone was when trying to connect while it was scanning the vehicle. I read afterwards that doesn’t work well. So I wait until after the scan is done and have no issues with it connecting!
The app works fine. The connection via Bluetooth it’s better than having the obd2 connected via wifi. Because this way you can use the app and device without having the annoying transmitting data / sending data. At first I had issues connecting but it was me not knowing how to properly pair my phone and the obd2 reader. One more thing it may be awesome having a picture of the part that needs to be replaced according to the Diagnostic. Highly recommend 👌
Like many others, I invested in a fancier 5610 model but spent HOURS trying to get it to initially connect to my Android phone and the RepairSolutions2 app via Bluetooth. I finally figured it out! Even though I agreed to allow the app to “use location while using the app” (not sure why this is required since the device and app are only meant to diagnose?) – the app still wasn’t enabling GPS. When I manually enabled GPS – they suddenly saw each other and connected. Decent app but 3 stars for now.
The app is initially tricky to connect via bluetooth, yet mine connected on the second try. I had to unplug and replug the dongle. I like getting the most relevant live data streams of up to four parameters. The recalls/TSB data reports are very informative. I have yet to explore the likely service(s) tab. Overall great app and tool, yet it could use a faster response.
Good enough, but not quite worth the double price for a non bluetooth one. App has no landscape mode, so doesn’t fit with how I mount and use my phone in my car. It tells me that it checked the tire pressure module, but gives me no result. My dash tells me more than that, low. I would expect the app to be able to tell me which and pressure on all four. I have yet to go through the tutorial website. I would have preferred more than a Quick Start for a manual in the box. At least a PDF download from the app, or in app instructions that do not rely on internet connectivity.
It worked once, but now it no longer is being detected by my computer when plugged in (with the green light on), nor when I plug it into my car does it connect with my phone’s Bluetooth — even after following the step by step directions the app provided to connect to Bluetooth (also with the green light on still). It isn’t recognizing that the device is plugged in nor connecting with Bluetooth, but the green light?!? What a waste! I hope someone can create a Solution to Repair this problem!
It doesn’t connect!! Im not really happy with this product. The first time i used it it worked perfectly but i tried connecting it back to my car witch is the only car i used it on and it doesnt appear on the (searching for devices) screen. I had higher expectations but im completely deceived. :'(…. also tried deleting and downloading it again with the same result.
Straight garbage. This is by far the worst app I have ever have dealt with. A simple code check tunes into 30 minutes of updating, error codes, disconnecting, and still it won’t work. Then on the rare chance you can connect it, you have to input all the vehicle data for it to give you a terrible price estimate on repairs. It would have been faster to drive to an auto part store and buy an actual obd2 scanner. In the end I decided to reverse over the dongle and throw it in the trash.
Does not work with the Innova 3215RS wireless module. Customer service tried to help, but they could never figure out why it wouldn’t generate a report. I replaced it once because it quit working completely. The second one, I eventually had to return for a refund after weeks of trouble shooting with the company. Don’t do wireless. Get one with a cable.
I rarely review apps, but I just had a problem with my truck and my old code reader was missing so I went and grabbed one of these Innova ones that work with the app. Not only did it tell me the code like any other code reader but the app told me a possible fix which was what fixed the issue, but if it wouldn’t have it linked me to a place to buy the part I needed. It also lists all the service bulletins and recalls for my vehicle. I can’t stress enough how impressed I was by this app.
I installed this app to pair along with an Innova 1000 ODB2 scanner I purchased. When I first connected, it performed a firmware update which appeared to complete successfully. After attempting to connect to my car, it would fail to provision repeatedly, even after manually entering the VIN number via the automatic system, the VIN scanner and also manually inputting the VIN. All three of which did not work. To confirm this wasn’t an issue with my vehicle, a 1998 BMW M3, in particular I also tried to scan on another vehicle, a 2016 Honda Accord. Once again, I was unable to provision, and then later on I was unable to connect to the Innova 1000 OBD2 dongle after following the apps instructions to un-plug/re-plug the dongle, turn Bluetooth on/off, restart the app, restart the phone, etc. Overall, this app was slow and it was a headache to deal with; let alone the fact that it accompanied with what is a pretty expensive dongle ($99). Frankly after spending 2 hours of my time, it’s more worth my time to uninstall this app and return the dongle than try to debug these issues. Feedback for the developers: 1) I am not sure if the app tries to add a vehicle to your account as you are trying to provision. I encountered this multiple times trying to connect but this appeared as an error. I’m not sure if that’s by design to add a vehicle to your account prior to showing codes, but it should not inhibit users from being able to scan their vehicle codes. I repeatedly saw this error when trying to connect to my initial vehicle, preventing me from getting any system scans. 2) The Bluetooth pairing really goes against the way any other consumer Bluetooth product pairs. Why was this product designed to not pair with the system Bluetooth like something like a remote or a speaker? Unless this fundamentally conflicts with how OBD2 scanning and connections work, this is an anti-pattern to how everyone else uses Bluetooth pairing. 3) The registration page didn’t provide any confirmation that my account was created. The only way I determined that my account was created was by going to the login page, submitting the login credentials and having it tell me that the account already exists. This was annoying from a user usage perspective.
This app is horrible. It only worked one time. I have followed all instructions with my RS2 OBD II scanner, created an account for this app, and it worked well the first time I used it. However, the first time was also the very last time it worked. When I try to generate my car’s log, I am prompted to update the mileage on my car, or else the report won’t be complete, but the app keeps failing to update my mileage, and I can’t get my car’s report. Decent product, but absolutely horrible app.
After spending over $230 on the 3140rs scanner today. I am extreemly disappointeI. I like the scanner but expected a lot more function out of the app. I sure did not expect to have to pay for additional vin numbers. The app will only work with one vehicle unless you pay extra.. I also cannot send reports via email or some other method, there is not any pc software. There is not even web portal to view your reports. What is the point for the scanner to have wifi & bluetooth.
App worked great one time, and no matter what I did, I couldn’t get it to connect again. Support was no help. I decided to try my wife’s iPhone in case the dongle was bad, but hers connected once as well. Idk, maybe it was the product and not the app, but either way, it’s made by the same company, and clearly they don’t do extensive testing on their products. Lots of people having the same issue.
There are still some improvements to be made to the UI aspect such as easier access to vehicle specific recalls (Recall notices should only pertain to vehicle being scanned and not vehicle brand in general) so you can easily find the recalls portion right from app main screen. Other improvements are simple icons and more clearly marked functions (descriptions)
It doesn’t give me an option turn on location services. This has took up a HUGE portion of my Christmas trying to get this to work. The people who got me this is gonna return it. I have a note 20 ultra. And it uses “nearby device” instead of location services. But it doesn’t work. My brother’s really old android works fine because it DOES use location services. I have tried everything multiple times. I have messed with my phone’s settings a bit. To no avail. I hate this thing.
Waste of money! I have a Galaxy S20 and I’m guessing this app is not compatible with this phone as there’s o way or option to enable location. The app cannot connect to the tool and I have wasted a whole day trying different methods to connect, with no avail. I am fed up and super frustrated. Came to the reviews just now to find out that many other users are having the same issue with this app not connecting to newer phones. The worst part is Canadian Tire won’t give refunds for this.
It was very easy to pair with my device and I am happy with the information it provides. It’s also convenient because I can scan and the information is also stored in my phone which then makes it easier to look at while discussing with my mechanic or the part’s guy.
A little scammy, but decent enough for ideas about repair. It will show options for repair or scheduled maintenance for parts that your car doesnt have, and it does exaggerate the amount of maintenance a little. I don’t particularly know why it needs the VIN, but it probably should be an option to bypass releasing that information.
Pretty satisfied with my overall experience. Between the information provided explaining problematic, mechanical issues, different recalls pertaining to my vehicle, and even predicting the overall costs for certain issues and repairs… The app is pretty informative and useful. Would recommend to others looking for diagnostics on their own vehicles.
Great device! Does exactly what I need it to. I have had a little difficulty with the app working and haven’t been able to get the gauged app to work at all. But you can still see your readouts on this app itself so not really a deal breaker.
There needs to be more metric integration. I have metric selected as the default system of measurement yet the app still tells me that maintenance is due at 60,000 miles. That is ridiculous. You sell these things in Canada. Metric has been our official system of measurement since 1975. More than enough time to get it together.
Great scan tool for the price. I compared it to AutoZones scanner and it was just as accurate all except mine didn’t read transmission codes. I definitely recommend this tool all the time.
It made a whole lot of suggestions but for no specific reason?! For instance, wheel bearings due to the abs sensors. I have JUST replaced ALL 4 new!? Also the O2 sensors? I’m getting good readings but it’s not completed the drive cycle yet since all repairs and battery disconnect.??
Followed app instructions exactly but still unable to connect to my pixel 4a. I’m updating this to add that by following the example of another reviewer I tried connecting using an older phone and it worked perfectly. Please update this app for newer phones!
As soon as I paird my phone to the device, this app gave me a list of things to look for, expected oil change, recalls, what to inspect… Ext. I mean the device alone is amazing now with this app I feel unstoppable 😁!!!!!!
Very accurate with diagnosis of any mechanical issues, finding the details that correlated the codes found is easy and you can get set up with a mechanic to get repairs done if needed or any recommendations you might need it’s great just wish I could reset codes when needed to but it has been extremely beneficial since I purchased it
Had a few problems but I use to take it to AutoZone all the time just to see what I needed and now I can just plug and see what I need to fix. I was a little skeptical but it really does an amazing job even if you don’t know what the codes are it identifies everything and let’s you know what to fix and what it’s going to cost to replace. Absolutely love it
Ever since this app updated, it has been a million times easier and better to use! Pre-update trying go get it to connect to my scanner was a struggle at best, unless there was a strong wifi connection. Since the update, it connects flawlessly. SOO much better. The scanner itself is awesome but being able to use the app with the scanner is ideal because you get so much more info with the app and it saves it so you can refer later! Thanks for the update! Love this App!! 😁
Took twenty minutes to pair with scanner, another twenty minutes updating scanning tool, another fifteen building a dating profile for my car and drained my battery. But hey, it took five minutes to clear a code and be useful. It’s an Odb2 scanner, just read the code.
The tool seems decent quality, but they advertise a free online support system, data, solutions, repairs etc… when actually they are not letting anyone else join repair solutions 2. So it reduces the scan tool to a glorified code reader.
This has been the Best help that I have ever had. After the scan, the information I needed, to make the specific repairs nessesary, for safe and reliable operation of my vehicle, was easy to retrieve and understand. Thank you to say the least.
The application is great good functionality great list of fixes and also parts but the pricing is a little off on some of the parts that are listed and it could have a little better interface as far as like diagram-wise and the fixes and how to’s you know I work as a mechanic so I have a general working knowledge and also an extended working knowledge of some fields I do everything but transmissions too many pieces LOL. It’s in my opinion that you should have or add exploded diagrams.
Written by unqualified programmers, and useless to me. The app connected to my car, started a full network scan and when it got to a TPMS sensor that I already knew was kaput, failed out of the app and declared the remaining 55 items on the network as “failed”. As useless as that was, it also put the car in limp mode forcing me to pull over and reset my car. A qualified programmer knows to test for possible communications failures and handling it, apparently they never considered that.
I love the apps simplicity and the numerous features it has. For a $50 dongle that can interface with this app is one of the best things about it. There are OBD II scanners out there that cost a lot more and can’t do some of the things this one is able to do.
Works excellent. They have excellent customer service if u have connectivity issues or whatever. I contacted customer service via email and less than 24 hrs I had suggestions from a live person and not a bot or animated response. I have a 98 Altima was having OBD2 connecting issues. While I waited for suggestions I checked my fuses inside car on driver’s side. Found the fuse for emergency blinkers had failed. I switched it out and bimgo no more connection problems. Possible fix for urs too
I am disabled, I am a veteran,,and I am a auto tech. I love the easy use of my scan tool. My car was broken into and my old Innova scan tool was stolen. Thank you for making it so easy to use! This is one old tech. that needs and likes learning new tricks! It sure has helped me a lot so I can roll down then road knowing that I have a pro pit crew with all the time. Thank you and love you all so much ,Stanley.
Account creation can’t proceed because the app developers don’t know what constitutes an email address. RFC 2821 and 2822 define email addresses. A plus sign (+) in the host part is valid. Two stars so I have one I can remove if the rest of the app is bad too.
Love this app and tool. Works great. Works the best with newer cars like my 2015 jetta but still works just fine on older cars like my 2004 dodge just can’t do as much diagnostic wise.
