It still has some glitches like the other versions of the app does there is one that times out really fast when you switch screens and you have to keep unplugging it and plugging it back in to get it to reconnect and you have to go a round about way to get the connection screen; but unlike the other versions, you don't have to keep paying for every thing you use....

It is a good app if you are standing still. Ever since they updated the app it disconnects if the vehicle is moving.

when it worked it was slow and difficult to connect. As many other reviews have mentioned, after the update, it will pair with phone but not connect. I have tried everything with no success. It's going in the garbage now and I feel like I've been duped. Dont buy this planned obosolence or any other diagnostic from Bosch. They will eventually disable it when you update it and it never worked great when new.

Good thing this was just a quick little back up code checker I use when I don't feel like getting out my Snap on scanner. Making this so it can't be used while vehicle is moving made the live data and this thing pretty much useless or just an over priced code checker. I had already spent some money upgrading it but getting the other options free was nice except not being able to use it when half of the problems need to be observed while the vehicle is being driven set this thing back into the Stone age. It's really simple. If someone has a condition that occurs while driving the vehicle, have them drive it to try to recreate the issue while you're in the passenger seat observing the data. Your vehicle? How about a friend or family member drives it while you observe. This is the worst thing ever for a scan tool. Way to go and make something that was small and convenient into nothing more than a code reader that way overpriced. I couldn't give this thing away now.

I've had this unit for a few years now. It was worth every penny, even back when I had to pay out more money to "unlock" features. Now, the features are free, with the caveat of the unit no longer allowing the vehicle to be moving while reading livestream data. What's the purpose of that? You make it free, then take away a major useful function. I would no longer recommend this unit while this "hobble" is part of the firmware. Find a proper working platform that will allow a road test.

As others have said, the app won't connect to the device, even after the phone has connected via Bluetooth. Having read what people said about last year's update, I even found an APK for an earlier version and installed that, but it had the exact same problem. I tried the iOS app on my wife's iPhone and it didn't work either. Useless.
