FAQs

Q. What do I need to run this app on my phone?
​A. You need an ELM327 Wi-Fi or a GoPoint BT adapter. You can buy them from Amazon or eBay for $20. I do however recommend buying a brand name as the performance heavily relies upon it.

Q. Why do some sensors work while others don't?
A. More recent vehicles tend to support more PIDs (sensors). As a result some sensors are not supported on older vehicles.

Q. What should I do if my app keeps crashing?
A. If you experience crashes during operation the best solution is to submit a crash report. When you submit a crash report, I can look at the crash report and track down the problem. The app will be patched and re-released with the problem fixed. Also send me an email descrbing your problem in detail.

HOW TO SUBMIT A CRASH REPORT:

iOS 8:settings-->Privacy-->Diagnostics & Usage
iOS 7: settings -->General-->About-->Diagnostics & Usage
Check "Automatically Send"
The next time you run your app and crashes, I will receive the crash report and resolve the problem ASAP.
