OBD Fusion for Negative User Reviews
✓ WowDropped money into this app because it was recommended to be the best on ios. but getting it connected to my obd scanner is very flimsy. it will connect for literally 5sec and then disconnect. Ive been through every tutorial and walkthrough online (including fusion's "instructions") and it still wont stay connected. 2 stars because the app does look nice when u can see it work and it did connect even if it was for a sec. would very much like a refund please..Version: 5.1.0
✓ There’s free apps that do the same thingReally not sure where all these 5 star positive reviews are coming from. Yeah, it’s an OBDII app that has a little bit more customizability than other free ones, but $13.99 for it? Nah. In addition, all the “extra” vehicle features and diagnostics are “locked” behind in-app purchases. For $20.99 extra you’re able to access these additional features ONLY FOR YOUR CURRENT MAKE AND YEAR of vehicle. You’d think $20.99 would let you either access all makes, models and years, but no, I have two Toyota vehicles, one older than the other, so I would have to pay $41.98 total to view any vehicle specific features. Complete rip off and waste of money. Go and download a free elm327 or OBDII scanner app and let this one kick dust..Version: 5.28.0
✓ SUPER LAG again for some reason.I’ve been using this App for about a year now, and it was perfect with the Carista LE BT device up until one of the latest updates that added all of these other new dongles that can now run from the app. I have had the random disconnect throughout the year but deff nothing to complaining about as it’s been few and far between. However, lately when I try to use this app with my iPhone6 the lag is so bad and slow the app is unusable. What can I do to get my gauges to function on time again? Please help me. Thanks!.Version: 4.4.0
✓ Could be best paid OBD appReally like the user interface. Makes use of native iOS elements and views, including dark mode, and doesn't look like some kind of game. No trouble connecting to Kiwi 3. However, the Dashboard view lags a bit on iPhone 8 Plus (iOS 13.6). I am having an issue detecting my vehicle information (VIN, year, make, model) and my model is not listed in the app. I purchased the 2012 Nissan Enhanced Diagnostics upgrade but it would've been better to detect the vehicle information automatically and prompt me for the correct upgrade. I do not know if the in-app purchase is working or correct. The app seems to be North American-centric and does not include common Nissan models sold in Australia. I don't know if the in-app purchase was required to read this vehicle information..Version: 5.11.0
✓ Horrible Connection Issue!Reached out to support and received a few emails back then no response and no fix for my connection issue. Emailed back again with no response! App runs fine on the Map and Performance options, will stay connected with no issue. The dashboard option will only keep a connection for the most 4-5 mins now and then lose connection. I WANT A REFUND! DONT BUY!!!!!.Version: 5.10.0
✓ Undefined error codeApp works well with blue tooth however all my error codes come up as undefined and doesn’t tell me where the issue is..Version: 5.24.0
✓ Does not show any codes even though EML illuminatedHaving problems with my car, engine management light is on. Connected my OBD and app; connected fine. Zero codes picked up. Just had to pay £95 to have it properly diagnosed at garage, which bought up 4 codes. Save your money and go to a garage. Some things are just best left to professionals..Version: 5.17.0
✓ Limited bod devicesYou can't find out until after you buy it that it only works with some devices. Great after spending $15.Version: 4.1.0
✓ Won’t read au falcon 1999 can read on other apps as a au fairlanePlease contact me developer I either want a refund or the correct connection properties added, not happy at all..Version: 5.37.0
✓ No CVT temp on SubaruDespite what some forum entries say, this app along with BAFX WiFi obd2 does not access or display CVT temp on a Subaru..Version: 5.37.0
✓ ODB Fusion connectionI recently brought a ODB2 Wi-fi for my car and then purchased you app, your app will not connect to the device. I downloaded a free version which connected straight away and copied the settings from the free one to yours still it has failed to connect..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Disappointed!Read some great reviews, so I thought this would be a nice thing to have with a Veepeak OBD device in the car. It’s unable to read and basic faults generated by the car. A complete waste of time..Version: 5.10.0
✓ Needs some useability featuresSo many time I’ve accidentally moved or deleted a gauge or an entire dashboard. It’s also hard to configure gauges the same as there are so many settings. Requested features: iCloud backup Duplicate dashboard Lock dashboard Copy/paste (duplicate) gauges Global setting changes (affects all gauges on dashboard).Version: 5.37.0
✓ Just monitoringUseless, download a free app.Version: 5.29.0
✓ CarPlay not supportedThis is a great app for your car, but a big drawback is it does support CarPlay!.Version: 5.3.0
✓ Subscription based ??Pretty sure I purchased this app a while back only to find now it’s subscription based..Version: 5.33.0
✓ 2005 Jeep Liberty CRDHaving a turbo diesel, which I use to tow Regularly, I’m interested in ATF temp, which this does not have. It doesn’t have oil pressure either from what I can tell. Limited in my opinion..Version: 5.11.0
✓ Not working!No longer works with Veepeak vp01 on iPhone, wasted a lot of time trying to get it to just connect with no success. Did everything recommend by the instruction. Wasted money on a app and product that is no longer compatible..Version: 5.3.0
✓ RubbishThis app is not worth the money at all, no functions to do virtually anything to enhance your experience.Version: 5.8.0
✓ No oil tempDownloaded the app at the cost of £9.99 to find there is no oil temp gauge available! This was the main reason I downloaded the app, a little disappointed unless the developer can point me in the right direction! Thanks.Version: 5.4.1
✓ Can’t justify price£9.99 is too much for this app , also can’t do any coding.Version: 5.0.0
✓ Waste of MoneyThe app won't connect with the OBD2 device. However, there are free apps that do connect and work well. Try "Dash Command" or "Saving Fuel". They work fine. Kind of ironic that the paid app is the one that won't work while free apps do. I had triple checked the compatibility (as advised by manufacturer) of the OBD2 device and the app (as advised by software developers) before purchasing. So nearly $150 later I find the software and device won't communicate and you can appreciate my frustration..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Not for EVs?Couldn’t find anything to say it didn’t work with EVs and from what I can see after buying it that it does not have EV as an option for fuel type..Version: 5.12.0
✓ I need refundThis not work in my car i try nany times and not work, i jnow my car its old but no list wich cara qork.Version: 5.15.0
✓ Waste of moneyWaste of money and time trying to connect it.Version: 5.11.0
✓ Do not buy this appI’m now £20 down buying this app and then a package for 2003 Fords that doesn’t work on a 2003 Ford. The app does not even try to work properly all it can do is connect; albeit detected a 2003 car as 2017 achieves nothing that is stated on the purchase screen..Version: 5.12.0
✓ Deceitful. $15 gets you a toy app. Then pay WAY more for anything useful.Just another dodgy business model to access your wallet. Do yourself a favour - just head STRAIGHT to CAR SCANNER PRO and download that - FAR superior to this. You figure the $15 download fee will give you enhanced diagnostics.. only to find it gets you almost nothing - just the simplistic app with nothing advanced to fix your car with. Pay much more for those as ‘options’, and that’s IF your car is supported, which mine wasn’t. So I just wasted $15. That’s a big zero from me. For the win: just get the FANTASTIC Car Scanner Pro app..Version: 6.0.2
✓ Random disconnectSo the app is pretty good a lot of different variations. For different types of vehicles. But if you plan on using the app to view real time driving like boost pressure or oxygen sensor reads. It will disconnect you from the app. And then I have to unplug my obd2 device and plug it back in to reconnect. If it’s a bug with the app could you look into it. Other wise it’s a great app. Can see my codes and read outs while it’s running so if a O2 Sensor is faulty you can see it. For a app you have to pay for though and for it dropping out while connected I’m giving it only 3 stars..Version: 4.3.0
✓ Why pay twice?Just used this app today, per the manufactures specs of my reader they recommend using this app. I was under the impression that I paid the 10 bucks and I would be good to go and be able to read all of my vehicle(s) usage. Well I was wrong. You pay the $10 to download the app just to be told you have to pay another $10 per vehicle. So if I wanted to read my wife’s car, my car, and truck. I would be all in with $40. I can understand paying a few bucks per vehicle, but let’s be real. The $10 upfront cost is not necessary to download the app. This type of app should be free and then pay for the in app purchases. This is why I gave the 1 star. The plus side is I am able to view every sensor once I pay the $10 per vehicle and see the vehicles codes. I would recommend to the app developers to make the app free, then have the consumer pay the $10. Very misleading..Version: 5.4.1
✓ Not compatible with ios 12Just bought this app and Bluetooth won’t connect. Says not supported I’m using iPhone XR latest iOS installed. How do I get a refund.Version: 5.1.0
✓ ABS and VSA codes on Honda Civic 2008 - didn’t read codesI have ABS and VSA codes on my Honda Civic 2008. The app didn’t even register them despite it flashing in my face on the dashboard! Wasted £8.99… Buy a proper diagnostic tool!.Version: 5.32.1
✓ Not greatDoes not show Subaru coolant temperature..Version: 5.12.0
✓ Didn’t ConnectAfter purchasing a Bafx OBD 2 scanner the instructions recommended fusion OBD as the primary app to download. It’s a $9.99 app. I Connected to the WiFi and followed the instructions step by step. After trying to connect several times I decided to see if I received a faulty scanner and downloaded another app called Car Scanner. I connected to the WiFi and then it automatically connected to the car. I was able to check my codes and reset my check engine light. I’m not sure why it didn’t work. I would like to find out how to get my money back because this app didn’t work for me..Version: 5.10.0
✓ A good startA nice piece of software as a starting point. Needs the wi-fi connection stabilised so it doesn't disconnect if you switch to another app. The keep screen on function is broken. Help system needs refinement/simplification. And PLEASE lose that horrible orange in the displays, or enable colour customisation! But otherwise very useful and a great start, keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next upgrade..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Astonishingly badAppalling connection issues with iPhone 8, For a 15 dollar initial cost and a lot of good reviews I had confidence in the money I spent that the product would just work. I spent our to only realise that 90% of all the other free apps connected within seconds. I am disgusted I payed money.Version: 5.10.0
✓ Can’t diagnose a flat battery!Just be aware that unless you’re prepared to pay $90US for the enhanced diagnostics, it can’t tell you your battery is flat. Lower cost options in the market can..Version: 6.1.0
✓ DisappointedI spent $15.81and it does not work on Veepeak iOS, total rip off give me my money back..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Subaru Impreza 2013 - It doesn’t workJust bought it as manufacturer of my (Veepeak VP01)obd reader suggests to use. I was connected to this obd reader by wifi but OBD Fusion couldn’t connect. Wish i had trial at least until it connects to it and recognize my car before i am forced to buy. Not much, $15 but still a waste.Version: 5.0.0
✓ In app purchase does not connectApp is ok apart from the in app extended functions. Purchased for Ford, however this will not connect to my car. Please can you issue a refund..Version: 5.9.0
✓ Better Wireless supportI have used this app quite extensively for several years. The biggest single complaint is cellular usage by this and other apps is haphazard at best. This software has tracking capabilities and as such requires cellular signal BUT getting that feature to work appears to be a matter of luck as I have yet to figure out how to activate cellular usage while using the app. Because of this, no other app on my iPhone or iPad can get a data signal such as mapping, music, or any other app needing internet data. WiFi is the connection to the OBD2 device and offers no internet pass through. May we please get a button or some other method to force the use of cellular?.Version: 5.29.0
✓ Jacksam132Doesn’t work I want my money back.Version: 5.5.0
✓ Don’t waste your money on this app.Purchased specifically for an SRS fault, read the information which indicates that it was able to do this and it doesn’t. It indicates that you have to purchase additional functionality that it is suitable for my vehicle it wasn’t thus the app is useless and a waste of money no refunds and that’s why you have to pay up front just to download it don’t waste your money on this app..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Basic featuresGives you the basics. Wanted to view oil temp of transmission and paid for the additional features specific for the car make and year, to no avail. Pretty disappointed when advertising as being capable but to only be dishing out money for false advertising..Version: 5.27.1
✓ US vehicles onlyDoesn’t have Australian vehicles listed so there is very limited support for the best selling Australian cars. Disappointing for a paid app given you get the same data on free apps..Version: 5.16.0
✓ Complete waste of moneyCan’t read fault codes let alone delete them.Version: 5.4.1
✓ Mr J.AlamWasting my money. It’s not supporting iPhone Max Bluetooth . I want my money back..Version: 5.12.0
✓ Waste of moneyThis app was recommended by the Bluetooth OBD reader so I download it and paid for it not knowing the reader would work with several apps that actually work. This app absolutely terrible. I have no idea why there’s any positive reviews of it. First off connecting is a huge pain! Second of all once it reads codes it doesn’t save information after disconnecting so if you want to look at your phone once you’re in front of a computer there is no information you literally have to go back to your car reconnect yada yada yada it’s just horrible trust me I downloaded a free app and it works amazingly well. Do yourself a favor save the money do not download this horrible app!!!!.Version: 5.15.0
✓ PeterWBought this app to get VIN number for Peugeot 206. Did not work. Connected fine but said VIN not available. Very annoyed..Version: 5.23.0
✓ Automatically disconnectsThé App will automatically disconnect if the vehicle is turned off or if the app is moved to the background, even for a second. It will not automatically reconnect and all data (like your average fuel economy) will be lost. You must connect it manually when you open the app before you can use the dashboard or diagnostic tools. The dashboard is also rather time consuming to set up. They do have some cool features, and gauges in their dashboard and Overall it would be great technology in the early to mid 2000’s, and gets the job done today, but the app definitely could use some updates..Version: 5.23.0
✓ Ne fonctionne pas comme convenuInefficace.Version: 5.33.0
✓ Won’t connectWon’t connect via wifi.Version: 5.10.0
✓ Good but NEEDS TRANS TEMP readoutGood app but why no option to display transmission temperature? One of the most important read outs on a vehicle especially when towing. Please add to the app ASAP. Until then only 3 stars..Version: 5.3.0
✓ RJUnreliable! My e70 was showing faults. ODB fusion showed zero faults. So not reliable at all..Version: 5.13.1
✓ FusionTrying to figure out how to get transmission temperature is like looking for hens teeth. Rubbish.Version: 5.13.1
✓ Waste of moneyTerrible app doesn’t even work and no refunds . Do your self a favour and avoid at all costs . If you can’t supply a refund hen you should be aloud on the App Store ..Version: 4.6.0
✓ Elm327 obd2 does not work with appleIf this is the device you own don’t buy this app, says it works but the scanner won’t connect to your device before you even try the app, wasted £10.Version: 4.2.0
✓ Not sure!Connected it up and it made connection with the app fine. But confidence was undermined somewhat when it told me there was no fault codes when I am looking at an ABS fault on my car dashboard with a message ‘service elec braking system’!.Version: 5.14.0
✓ Won’t connectConnected via Wi-Fi but app keeps timing out on connection so whilst iPad is connected the app won’t. Left with a useless piece of plastic and an app that’s pants.Version: 5.30.0
✓ Needs moee time into this appYou should improve this app a bit there is steps that dont know where to get the info from and has nothing more to download for lancer.Version: 5.12.0
✓ No hyundaiNo hyundai.Version: 5.12.0
✓ OkOk, but USA centric. UK / European models not supported in settings..Version: 5.0.0
✓ Possibly caused my car to stallI used this app and an OBD reader for the first time. It seemed good. After using it, I drove the vehicle without the OBD reader plugged in and the car stalled as the vehicle was moving several times. The car started right back up though. This is the first one this has ever happened to me. I don’t know if it was the dongle or this app that might have messed with my ECU computer. Not going to be using it again though. Having the car completely die as you’re moving in traffic with no power steering is not fun..Version: 5.4.1
✓ No EV Support?Next to no diagnostics if you have a BEV that I could find..Version: 5.12.0
✓ SliiiickIve used this app w/ a fair number of vehicles for years, its pretty amazing and the newer or more fancy a vehicle the more you can see, like on our 2012 jeep wrangler you couldn’t see much but in Jeanine, my 2006 Mercury milan, we cd see a ton of stuff. I am struggling a bit w / my 2020 escape. I’m very ok with that however because I haven’t tried very hard because its not the car isn’t broken and i just got it. This is a complicated app and seems to be quite useful. I’m not sure what it cant do, but I'm impressed with what it can, and Im willing to put in some effort to understand how to operate it better, Im just an average guy that likes to poke around in the brain bits a bit. It simply will mot connect and customer service is nonexistent.Version: 5.33.0
✓ RubbishJust purchased Fusion and I thought it was Full obd 2 reader but seems I have to purchase more add ons to get more diagnosis info per car forget it.Version: 6.0.2
✓ Waste of moneyOnly bought it for dpf status it but it does not show it waste of money, free andriod apps work fine but this was the only apple one for dpf.Version: 5.4.1
✓ Bit clunky. Lots of features but forgets your settingsForgets your settings. That’s a fail. No refund available apparently..Version: 5.19.0
✓ Poor informationThis app gives very little information to me other than an error code. All codes just say “manufacturer defined” and the online lookup shows nothing. Whereas other free apps give me all details about a code. 2 stars because it was easy to connect to my scanner. Sorry but this was a waste of money..Version: 5.17.0
✓ Waste of timeEven the demo doesn’t work, no indication of what it’s doing a total waste of time and waste of £10.Version: 4.3.0
✓ Pretty GoodTakes a lot of customizing to make it look good. Then saving and management of the custom configuration is not very good. After a phone upgrade I lost all of my in app purchases and this affected all my screens..Version: 5.4.1
✓ Not diagnosing DTC codesConnected with wifi obd2 Veepeak .showing no DTC codes at all in Audi A6 while connected .Not working with Audi.Wasted money..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Does not work!!Your app as recommended by Car Scanner does not work. It will not connect to the OBD2 adapter. Have checked all the steps and recommended instructions but it will still not work. PLEASE PROVIDE A REFUND!!.Version: 5.11.0
✓ Won’t connectTerrible app. Won’t connect at all when loads of other apps do. Had to buy another app after buying this one. Not happy.Version: 4.7.1
✓ Don’t workDoesn’t work on my iPhone. Says it does but doesn’t. Plenty of free apps that do tho. Don’t get this app.Version: 5.0.0
✓ Keeps loosing connectionThe app is always loosing its connection with obd port. For now it is not worth the money..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Too slowRefresh rate on dashboard too slow.Version: 3.4.0
✓ PriceThe overall UI is outdated. But features is what makes the app worth it. I don’t like the fact that you got to pay $10 for each year of make and model of your vehicle. OBDLink gives you access to their whole list when you purchase the obd link MX+. This device cost twice as much as any other obd reader. I personally got the Veepeak and it works great as mentioned in other reviews. I would rather pay a one time $50 fee for example for obd fusion and gain access to the whole Toyota list per say. Until then my review stays at 3 stars..Version: 5.5.0
✓ How do people like this???I’m at a total loss how this app gets the reviews it does. My only guess is a lot of people don’t know what they’re looking for. I’ve got a 2006 Ford F-250 with the 6.0 powerstroke. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone with a diesel period, it doesn’t show anything of any relevance to diesels. Purchased all the extras for my truck, still didn’t get what I wanted to see...even though in the description of ford extras it says I can see transmission temp...which I can’t. All in all, this app is total garbage. From the design, the effectiveness, and the support. I tried to use this app for almost 4 months, not like I just tried it and said “F it”. The customer service was extremely sub par. Any issues at all they just direct you to the same help document that’s in the app. Idiots. If you don’t know anything about internal combustion engines than this is the app for you. If you’re able to chew gum and walk at the same time, don’t waste your time or your money..Version: 4.5.0
✓ Can’t use on multiple carsThis app is good for grabbing codes, but all the rest is just gimmicks. It doesn’t save a drive history like it says and you can’t just plug it into different cars— say you your wife and two kids or whatever. Each time you put it into a different car it asks you to manually reset year, make, model , etc. it won’t let you just save profiles. Payed $10 for the app, then they wanted $10 due to my specific car. I’m not against the app, just warning others that it doesn’t do all that much..Version: 5.0.0
