Great App, All the Info you need - Quickly. App works great. Gives the info you need quickly. The only issue is that it sometimes takes a minute to connect to my OBD wireless interface, but I think that is a hardware issue, not the app. Recommend!

Horrible technical support/customer service. What could have been a simple apology on Palmer Performance’s part turned into “will only work with older iPhones” (NOT true) to “your dongle is obsolete” (also not true.) Palmer’s own website states that both iOS and my specific dongle are supported, but tech support (which I suspect knows nothing about the specifics about the app, or the OBD2 and ELM327 protocols) basically just made up excuses as to why their app does not work when pretty much every other OBD2 in the App Store does. Not only do I not recommend this app, but am now looking for an alternative to DashXL, and will suggest to others to not buy Palmer Performance products, at all.

Re: DashCommand. This is probably my favorite app, and I only bought it a few days ago. I own a '03 Chevy s10 4.3L 4WD zr2, and this app does what I need and more. MAF and MAP readings, average mpg, hp-torque curves, intake and coolant temps, and a ton more. I was torn between Torque, Auto Doctor, and DashCommand, and I think I chose wisely. I noticed Palmer Engineering has a solid template between smartphone and pc devices, so after doing research on other programs such as PCMSCAN and ScanXL, DashCommand seemed like the most well-rounded. Being able to configure my own PIDs is a game changer. I'm a mechanical engineering students, so by default this stuff is cool to me. Worth it.

Great App. App has saved me a bunch of money, more than the cost of the app the first time I used it on a 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser to pull codes and diagnose problems. I've been playing with it on a couple other vehicles and it's amazing the amount of data you can monitor. I'm going to use it on my Camry Hybrid to monitor fuel mileage because I think the car's mileage figures are off.

Great app but 1 flaw IMO. So far I’ve really enjoyed the app. I used to have a pioneer app radio and there is an app that allows you to put this on the big screen there. But it’s not offered for standard Apple car play enabled devices. I’d love to throw a few extra gauges on the big screen while I’m tuning or at the track. Still a super handy app and many folks may disagree with the CarPlay option ding.

Great app for monitoring vehicle under all kinds of conditions!. Awesome App for monitoring a wide variety of metrics under a wide variety of conditions. Helps me adjust my driving technique to optimize performance, economy, and situational utility. It helps me increase fuel efficiency and reduce ware on high ware parts (tires, brakes, etc). It also helps me understand the root cause of “problems” to take the guess work out of repairs. With a little experimenting, and adjust the PID calculations, I have achieved a 22% improvement in fuel cost. Through driving technique, purchase of optimum fuel for the conditions, and monitoring real time metrics.

Maybe don’t buy it. I just got the app a few days ago. I had read the negative reviews just as much as the positive ones but still bought it any way. Ultimately I can get some data out of it and that’s somewhat useful, rpm (my crown vic doesn’t have that on the cluster) , check codes , coolant temp, Fuel trims, but as for HP, torque, CO2 nothing . Furthermore the fuel level percent seems to be off. It read 48.2% when my tank is well above half a tank. It’s a nice app but I wouldn’t purchase again.

Just Stopped Working. Worked fine a few days ago (with just the usual bugs/annoyances). Then one day it displayed the terms & conditions for me to accept, which was weird (out of nowhere, apparently — no recent app-update I’m aware of). Then it told me to choose my OBD dongle; mine isn’t on the list, but it’s worked okay for the past year or so. I hit “OK” or “Cancel”, either one seemed to work. Then, at various times, the gauge for speed & RPM showed me zeroes, or accurate RPM but zero speed, and “N/A” for other stats (MPG, drive-time, temps, etc). And now the choose-device popup won’t go away no matter what I do. So apparently the app is broken and my $20 is down the drain.

Pretty good app. This app is pretty good able to monitor multiple things track down problems it tells me I’ll be Obd2 codes. Which is very handy I am the best part about it is you can take the scanner to multiple vehicles and diagnose the problem on the side of the road if you need to

Incredible app. Works well. Connects easily and starts collecting data. Incredible amounts of data. Not always obvious or not possible to go back to previous or menu screen. But overall incredible and impressive. Wow. Edit: hold down finger on any screen for 2 seconds - return to any menu

Needs CarPlay Support. Very nice app and provides a lot of metrics but I took away one star because it’s been out for a while but the developers haven’t added support for CarPlay. This would be perfect if we can monitor the vehicle on the vehicle’s infotainment touch screen instead of having to refer to the iPhone. Please devs! Make it finally happen!

Great app. This is a great app, and for $10, as long as you acquire the appropriate OBD2 output device, gives all the information anyone could ask for. Would definitely recommend for anyone who is a car guru, do-it-yourself person, or anyone who simply wants to see all their car's information for recreational or diagnostic purposes.

Used to work well. I have a Wi-Fi OBD-II adapter that I use with this app. This app has a lot of functionality for a free app, I have been satisfied with it. However today I opened it up and I get an error that says it is expired. It then closes the app, and does not give me any options to do anything with it. No updates are available on the App Store for it. Right when I needed to check why my check engine light came on, and it fails, and I just used it about a week ago.

Great app if you understand the language.. By trade I’m an electrician. With this app I’ve been able to identify problems, monitor and log different systems in real time and also save and export the files via email. When I went to buy the extra package for the make which my vehicle associates with, it advised that for my model it was not necessary to spend the extra money as it provided no benefits that weren’t already available with the current version of the app. Now it’s one thing to be able to hear your car talk to you and it’s completely different whether you understand what it’s saying to you. I’ve saved thousands of dollars in mechanic fees by researching how to identify issues and how to fix them. The app just gives you access to what a mechanic is given access to when diagnosing an issue. But the app won’t make you or anybody for that matter a mechanic or able to understand and solve their own problem. At least it can help you to not get ripped off by a mechanic with ghost problems. But it won’t keep you getting ripped off on the service fee for the quality of service received.

Best OBD2 App.. I could only give it 5 stars. I recommend this app. It does the same and more than the hardware scanner tools. Compared to other apps, this is the one to choose. It may be a little difficult to set up the wifi interphase because you have to manually enter the IP and router info but it is well worth this extra effort. I really like this app. Hope the developers don’t change it.

OBDLink MX+ works. Originally I though this did not work with my OBDLink MX+, but it does. I think it may have been the order that I started things. My phone was was probably not connected to it. Temporarily updating to 4 stars. I need to actuall use it to see if it is worth 5 stars. Looks pretty good though. Wish it would automatically get the settings needed to calculate mileage. It wants engine displacement. I have a 3.5L V6 ecoboost. I would assume 3.5 L, as that is the spec, but if so, it should be able to know that. Pretty common vehicle and engine.

Great App forgot I bought it years ago. Works very well. Wish the DTC function was like OBD fusion and need to add ability to save my custom gauges to cloud to download after all the work into custom gauges. I know you can do dashboard customizing and upload but need to make gauges/pages able to be backed up, unless that’s hidden somewhere

Better than the rest. I have tried many of these apps. None are perfect but Dashcommand is by far the best for my needs. I am a auto tech. and after spending many thousands of dollars on diagnostic equipment over the years, I feel I get a tremendous amount of information for the price.

Good tool and toy. This app does a decent scan but as is it really works great for before and after installs or changes to tune. It will give a before and after hp 60' 1/8m and 1/4m times with speed too. All sorts of cool gauge packs available too. I bought along time ago to be a general scan tool but my current use is for tuning on my turbo BMW, I had no idea before purchasing I would be using to check performance upgrades on my personal car, but I sure am stoked with it's vast usefulness and info. If you tune your car or truck and don't have this app your missing out on real info...

Really Impressed, actually works on a BMW. I purchased a Kiwi3 and after finding out the app designed for the unit didn't even work, I gave this a try since it was given such good reviews online. All I can say is I'm glad I didn't buy something else and I'd happily do it again. This app works, connects instantly with the reader, and gives me every bit of info I could have wanted to know about my 2007 BMW X3. I was worried since it was a beemer I'd have issues with some of the features actually working, but I was pleasantly surprised when literally everything worked without any customization or hassle. This is the one and only app you want or need for a Bluetooth OBD2 reader.

Everything I need and more. Well worth the money! Interfaces are easy to use and provide so much info! There are add-on purchases available, but not required. In fact, when I went to see the add-one available for my Toyota they told me I didn't need it, and I wouldn't get much more than I already had instead of trying to push the sale!!

Talk with your Car. This is an amazing tool to know exactly what your car’s computer is doing, in real-time. It requires hardware as well, and the quality of the hardware matters. I used cheap Chinese elm clones and the performance of this app was terrible. I purchased a Palmer Engineering OBD-II WiFi interface, and the performance is stellar. I can read temperatures, RPMs and other info in real times. It update fluidly, multiple times a second.

One Man’s Opinion. App works pretty good. I’d like to see an update that would add gears to the trans mode with automatics in mind but it works well with manuals. The fuel mileage is more accurate than the onboard computer of my 2014 Ram truck. You do need a WiFi OBD2 device which some come with programming but mine didn’t hence why I purchased this app.

I feel like I got dumped, left with unanswered questions, ignored, confused.... So I tried the chat feature it never works, I tried sending emails to customer support but no response so I figured my only recourse of action left is to read accurate review and maybe that will give me some assistance. I’m curious as to where the current state of the dash command app. When I try opening the app it tells me “This copy of DashCmd has expired.” Well there’s no new version, I haven’t been able to find any updates and I haven’t received any email notification. So was it a poor investment on my part to purchase the hardware and extra features for this app? Because I also noticed does not work with the pioneer radio anymore either. I kind of feel like I’m being left high and dry with no answers, seriously is it asking too much kept in the loop? Did the company that owns the app go under or going under?

Updated Review, Downgrade. Update Oct 2018 The app hasn’t been updated in forever. The UI is like iOS4 is back in style. Yes it works but that may not be the case going forward. When I bought my 2016 truck I had use the 2014 pids. Ended up with an Edge Insight for my diesel truck and used this in my SUV. Bought a new SUV now and have no idea if the 2014 Ford pids I bought as in-app purchase are still valid. Guess this is the new way software works, you write an app, sell it for a couple of years, and then abandon it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of the recommended hardware adapters is the OBDLink MX Wifi...beware it has serious connectivity issues even from when it was a Kickstarter project. Yet DashCommand still recommends it. Basically with the MX DashCommand won't work. I swapped the MX for the PLX Devices Kiwi 2. It's about 1/2 the price and works great. Now I can give DashCommand an appropriate review. It works great for my application of wanting to continuously monitor a handful of engine parameters. No connectivity issues other than typical iOS mandated situations like switching to another app. I did buy an in-app purchase for vehicle specific PIDs. All in it's still way cheaper than buying physical gauges and installing them in my truck. I recommend it so long as you've got the right hardware. Wish there was better documentation other than having to post in the forums but at least they're responsive.

Convinience. The overall ease of use and the amount of information gained about my vehicle was well worth the cost! I have my own personal diagnostics tool in the palm of my hand for a fraction of the cost. It lets me virtually know anything about my car in real time, read AND clear trouble codes, fuel trims, etc. I have used this many times on my aging BMW and solve many issues! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who may be considering!

Great utility!. This app is great even if you’re not mechanically inclined. If my check engine light comes on, I can run a quick scan and Google the codes myself. Even if I can’t fix things myself, I can at least make sure that the mechanics aren’t trying to hustle me. Let’s face it, many do. Many times the engine light has come on because of faulty sensors that are usually easy enough to replace on your own. Save yourself hundreds of dollars and use the app instead. It has a variety of other features you can employ if you’re more technically proficient. It’s been a great ally.

Buyer beware !!!!. As you probably can see the number of one star Reviews have increased lately. App was good but only used it a handful of times paid $10 which is the most I’ve ever spent on an app. Used it today and it worked fine open it back up after some maintenance and now get your app has expired and automatically shuts down. I never recall seeing an app page that said this expires. I would be willing to amend my rating if the developer reaches out to me and tells me how to unlock the app but I paid $10 for. I probably won’t hold my breath as the one star ratings are now creeping up to the five stars

App doesn’t work. I purchased this app to use for extra gauges that I used to monitor on my accessport but have gone open source. I have had to delete and reinstall the app once to fix the issue of it freezing while using and then freezing on the select your device screen after restarting the app. Now, tonight while using it, it froze, dropped connection, then failed to connect to my dongle. I closed the app and tried to reopen it just to have it freeze on the select your device screen yet again. I’ve used this app three times and two of those times it has failed to work properly. A complete waste of money.

Fun tool. It provided useful information but you really have to buy the extra package. It would be helpful if it came with a better tutorial and better screenshots of each dashboard so I knew what to pick. Explanation of what it’s measuring and the meaning. Might help stay ahead of problems.

Excellent alternative to expensive scan tools. For $10 plus $10 for vehicle specific dealer level PID access a huge savings over scan tools that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. Very powerful tool for vehicle maintenance and trouble shooting. Saved me hundreds of dollars in shop charges. Love it.

Poor customer service. Reached out to Palmer performance / dash command about a specific PID related to my repair and was assured I would be able to get the reading via a windows download (40$) and a add on package (100$) as you may suspect, I was not able to get the reading. Reached out to doug there (who assured it was part of the package) and have been met with zero help. Looking here on the app I can see the same PID available for purchase for a total of 20$… I bought a Bluetooth Obd2 and wouldn’t you know- won’t connect to my app. Have reached out 3 times now in regards to that and gotten 0 response. Torque pro runs much smoother, is far more customizable and I was actually able to talk to someone before & after the repair.

Nice graphics, but.... Many of the features don't work. Indicates vehicle is getting 24,000 miles per gallon. Accelerometer doesn't auto scale, so it barely comes off zero, useless off the race trace. Shifting points is a nice feature, but requires info I don't have, like gear ratios for all 6 speeds. It would be nice if it calculated shift points fir you based on RPM and GPS. Also would be nice to have a way to calibrate the fuel gauge. Currently reads 95% after complete ripoff. I'm rating low because there's no excuse for a basic feature like MPG not working, especially on a $10 app.

Has helped me greatly. Using the app, I was able to locate sensor problems with my older truck and repair them myself, which is waayyyy cheaper than a shop! I did have some problems navigating inside the software at first, but that's nothing. This app is a really powerful tool to have!

Dash Command top value. Where else can you have the capability of a 5k scanner for less then a “C” note? For trouble shooting and monitoring you can’t beat the simplicity of Dash Command. I had a trouble prone Dodge Magnum and the dash command live feed back allowed me to properly diagnose my vehicle in order for me to pass smog. I’m sure if I took it to a repair shop it would have cost me hundreds of dollars to have it repaired. All I can say is “THANK YOU DASH COMMAND” I will recommend you to everyone that will listen to me.

Okay. Okay app. Works for a short period of time until it crashes and can’t be used at the opening of the screen. Takes uninstall and reinstall to fix momentarily until it stops working 4 or 5 uses later. Would like this to be fixed otherwise I won’t be able to use it anymore :(

Works for me!. I purchased this app because I needed to check the cmpret on my 1997 Chevrolet truck. You do need to purchase the extra pid group to read it, but it works. The only problem I've run in to is if you go to the gauge page and swipe left or right to see other gauges, you can't get back to dashboard without force closing the app and reopening it. Decent app, though!

Hot stuff. This app does as advertised which is really cool. The online documentation is fine and I’m not aware of a truly competing app for iPhone/iPad. That said, it appears to use a lot of juice. I run it plugged into the charge port and after a short while my iPhone 6s is quite hot. This is probably inevitable for real-time monitoring and computing across many OBDII and iPhone sensors. But it concerns regarding possible adverse impact on battery life.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD current app version!!!. No app support. You click the link and it just takes you a page to purchase auto parts. The app In the latest version will not bring up the additional purchase packages they are all blank. I just have a green check Mark for previous purchases next to blank boxes I can’t even tell what my previous purchases were for. Then you try and get support and there is none available. I used to love this app but it needs some work they are dropping the ball.

Unreliable and cumbersome. We’ve been using DashCommand for more than six years, but it’s always been buggy, despite of a few improvements of the user interface. Our main use is to monitor fuel tank level and fuel consumption. A great flaw is that after fueling up you have to drive many miles before you get an accurate tank reading. Also since we switched to newer cars that use the Automatic™️ OBD-II adapter, it’s gotten very tricky to cajole DashCommand to start reading the bus signals, because it fails to properly handshake with Automatic on startup.

Ok rewritten review here. App is working fine although it has no data for any Honda vehicles. When I connect it, then open some window I can not go back to menu window (home window). Can that be fixed along with adding Honda vehicle datas? Update: it’s still just ok but kinda disappointed that I don’t think it has Transmission Fluid Temperature... please update it for ATF Temp then I’ll change my rating for the device/App!

Great app. I think this is a great app. My car originally came with a very minimal gauge set and I’m really happy with what’s available on it. If I did have one knock on this app, it would be making custom gauges on the web. It seems like a very difficult process, if you don’t know how it works. I spent many weeks trying to get something together for my car and although it works OK, I feel like if there was a better set of instructions, it would be a lot more user-friendly.

Awesome app. I was a little skeptical at first but went ahead and took a chance. This app does exactly what it states, check and clear codes observe engine functions in real time. It's also compatible with most obdii dongles out there. With downloadable dashboards specifically for your vehicle is a plus being that I have a diesel. Great buy I've had and used it everyday for a little over a year now!

Works fine - but repeated “this license has expired”. Like the app which I’ve had for 4 years now on my iPhone. Just the past 2 months been getting a irritating error message stating “this license has expired” even though I’ve paid for the license and it’s not expired. Every time this happens I have to go to AppStore and click open Dashcommand to then see the same error message, but then try again AppStore to see the Dashcommand icon which says UPDATE and it downloads some update and the error goes away. Fix this soon guys please!!!

Great App. This is a great and simple app. Easy to read gauges with more info that you'll probably need. I needed something simple to read codes and reset, but it does a lot more. I know there are bigger apps that may be more specialized but this is well worth the money. Saved me a lot of time.

No updates. Looks like we’re on our own. Just cleaned out my phone of other apps that wouldn’t update anymore. Money not well spent. It might be cheaper in the short run to buy these apps, but in the long run it’s not. Here’s $10 more dollars wasted. It’s been 5 months since they have updated there newest app. 2 years on the one I bought. So this one will be on the no longer will work page before long. They don’t care. The funny thing is the new one looks just like the one I bought. So the new one is not a new idea it’s just the old one with an app purchases. Not much more to say except don’t buy unless you want new old stock.

Good app but expensive. I love this app, it does what I want it to do, it works on many vehicles, even my 2013 bmw which is wonderful, I used scanPro which is their professional scan software, it would not work on my bmw, can you figured that out. This is kind of expensive, but less then Carly bmw app, whom will try to make you pay for updates, not me. I used this app on cars I'm thinking of buying, to checkout timing issues, compression issues and wear/tear on engine without carrying around my laptop with all my professional scanning software.

Everything I hoped it would be!. This is the first app I have ever paid for, and it continues to be worth the money. Quick to connect, and very easy to configure and use. This has saved me from needing to buy more expensive computer programs to view my outputs. You can view live read outs for most all engine sensors that you don’t even have gauges for in your car. Worth every penny.

Works as advertised. Many others have explained why this app is worth buying. I'm writing to contradict two negative reviews. One said you can't get back to the main menu after activating a dashboard without shutting down the app and restarting it. Not so. Just tough the screen for two seconds and a menu will appear that allows you to return to the main screen. Second, someone said it doesn't work with vehicles after 2014. Also not true. Works fine with our 2016 Subaru Forester. The database that comes with the app doesn't include vehicles newer than 2014, but you can manually input model information and parameters for any newer vehicle. One minor quibble: the gauges on a couple of the dashboards are too small to be legible on an iPhone 6, but you can access the same information in other ways. A fine app. Works flawlessly with Amazon's recommended Foseal OBD II WiFi dongle.

It's good, not great. For a paid app, I expect more frequent updates like bug fixes, or UI improvements, but it hasn't been updated in about a year at this point. The interface is not great. As others have pointed out, getting back to the main menu isn't intuitive. Having to manually enter your car's details for models after 2014 is also lame. I honestly couldn't say that I'd recommend this app to friends. I would suggest spending the extra money on Blue Driver. I would probably change my mind if the developer would give this app some attention.

Waste of money. This app is absolute garbage does not work with iOS at all do not recommend it to anyone

T/M Temp Gauge. This app is awesome the only thing missing is a T/M Temp Gauge, next update could you please add an T/M temp gauge to the app. Would be much appreciated. For SST Mitsubishi Evo X

Unhappy. It should be stated in the description that a connection is needed as I just wasted $15 on an app I cannot use.

Scam. The app stops work It says that it’s expired and doesn’t work after a time and you can’t go to any settings to fix it because it just crashes what’s the go here

Pricey for something that doesn’t work properly. iOS latest software on iPhone 11. Can’t change the gauges to metric. (Yes I have changed all the settings/ unit in the app). Great if you are still in miles per hour and gallons. But useless if you are the rest of the world.

Works great with the kiwi3. Could not ask for anything better. It was able to find a cylinder fault on a buddies car and saved him a lot. Super fast reads from the kiwi3 to a old iPhone 5.

Great App. Dashcommand works great with my CLK wifi OBD-II adapter. I use it for both my 2007 Suzuki Swift and my 2005 Holden Statesman V8 with great results. As is to be expected there are a few readings/gauges not compatible with my vehicles due to the sensors not being there etc. but otherwise does everything I could ask. I also use this everyday as a diagnostics tool in the mechanical workshop where I an currently completing my apprenticeship. Dashcommand does as good if not better job than our $7,000 Carman Scan Lite. Very great, useful and accurate little app and extremely cheap when you think about it. Thanx, Mark

Apple listen up. Apple Please allow this app to be compatible with CarPlay ! Would make a lot motoring enthusiasts Happy come on Apple get with the program 👌

Ob2. Very good product, takes off all engine lights , highly recommend 👍

Not working. It’s not working

Very useful software. I have used Dash Command for towing a caravan. The data relating to the correct traveling gear (auto) displayed the constant changing from 5th to 4th and back. This meant I could manually lock the vehicle in 4th decreasing transmission stress.

Custom gauges. The best OBD app I have come across. It would be great if they added more customisable gauge types. For example, a customisable light (shift light/warning light). Gauge types in modern aircraft with glass cockpits are a perfect example. Many of the gauges aren't legible or useful on a phone display unless they are maximum size (iPhone 6 used).

Worst app ever. It does not even work and I want a refund of my $15 dollars

Great app. Picked up just about every sensor I wanted in my car and getting better with every version.

Due for an update. This app is great but it needs a UI refresh to make it look more modern and support new phones/iPad.

Probably the best OBDC app. I’ve tried quite a few and always come back to Dash Command for its simplicity and features. Top job, Palmer Co.

Please update for iPhone X. It’s a good app, I mean we paid for it and all, but could you guys please update the app to work on full resolution for the iPhone X and above Please, please do so immediately

Customer Service. Poor customer service, I have been waiting a week for a reply for tech support. Will not connect to app using ELM327 wifi adapter on iPhone 6 with current iOS.

Awsome. Awsome app, really helped be with a problem with my car. Great response time and very useful.

Very annoyed. Just purchased this app and it will not connect to my ELM327 wifi on my iPhone 6S+. Just wasted $15 for nothing!!😡😡😡😡

Great. Great little App

Refund. Downloaded and doesn’t work, how do you get a refund?

Please update for iPhone X screen. Update for iPhone X screen please

Totally Wicked App. Been using this for a while now and happy with the functionality of the platform works as described. Would totally recommend it 10/10

Fantastic app!. I have a BMW M135i which despite its performance doesn't have any temperature gauges! DashComand solved that problem in a really stylish way. I'm using a cheap WiFi ELM327 dongle and it works well

Jeep Jk 08 diesel 2.8l. Impressed , once setup its a breeze to use . Well worth the money on both units, the app and the system unit . Hand in hand .

No joy. I spent my $15, and got an app that won’t connect. Thought that it was the OBD reader (kiwi), but found out that other apps connect just fine. Looked to email developer to discuss and arrange refund as I now have another app. Can not find contact details on their website, just in business hours (USA) phone number, which is useless if based in Australia.

Great App. Use it all the time while driving to monitor fuel usage. One problem is I have a Landcruiser 79 series and it won’t give the fuel level or range information. Never has. If this was fixed it would be a definite 5star

Won’t connect to my haltech. I have bought this app and an elm327 to connect to my haltech elite 2500 and they won’t pair the elm327 will connect on other free apps but won’t on this one and I have done all suggestions to fix the issue and it still won’t work I have tried to get help but not getting anywhere it is driving me crazy I have even been into my haltech settings and everything is right I would love to here back and justify the situation

Great OBD App. I have had this app for over 12 months and I really love it, especially the custom gauges. I am only using a cheap $17 OBD2 reader and it works fantastic even with this cheap reader. I researched through all the apps for about 3 months before making my choice and the dash Cmd is by far the best and it is the best for compatibility with most of the OBD2 readers available and there are no ongoing in app costs. Only negative is you could have more choices to customise the look of the gauges. Other than that it is a good choice.

Great app to get to know your car in depth. Great app to obtain different data when the car is in operation. A huge plus if the developer revamps the interface!!!

Love it. Use NGXplay to allow it to work with Apple CarPlay.. Truely a brilliant app.

Worked once.. The app worked once now it won't connect. Phone connects to wifi but app won't connect to it.... what a waste!!!!!

Ver 2.6 , not supporting all vehicles. Bought this app and the kiwi wifi with great expectations. My vehicle is a Subaru WRX 2004 model and the app does not work except for reading codes. The connection works fine and I can read the diagnostic codes but none of the PID's are supported. I contacted the developers and they suggested it was my uni chip and to try some other changes, spoke to my tuner and he said it is invisible to scanners. Wrote back to the developers and they said they finally checked my vehicle and it does not support hardly any PID's . I'm not convinced but the app has some issues that need to be worked out before it should be sold on the iTunes store. Just be warned just because you have an OBDII port does not mean this app will work and should be advertised that way due to it's high price!!!!

App needs updating. Running iOS 12.3.1 and the reader won’t connect. My friend tried his reader and mine. Connected fine with both, his iOS is 12.1

In app purchase is not responding. The in-app purchase of the Mazda Extended Parameters is not working even when the wifi is switched on. The available parameters are limited and English system. There should be ones for metric system that are readily available. Its kind a hard to create your own gauges.

Holden not listed. What a waste of time spending money when the app doesn’t have all Holden GM vehicles . Is there an opportunity these vehicles would be included?

Worse. Just use for one year and following year u cannot use it and no support from developer

Great App. This app along with my obd11 Bluetooth adapter has helped me out of trouble when I haven’t had a scanner with me to clear codes. Aside from that it’s great to help with watching technical data while the engine is running.

Love it. Thank you for fixing expiry bug

Disappointing. This dosnt show any gauge working besides revs. Not what I paid for and the biggest waste of money

Fantastic Diagnostic Tool. To be able to monitor while driving is incredibly useful for fault finding. My Bluetooth OBD2 reader has failed but I’ll be getting another one instead of a handheld unit just so I can keep using this App.

No happy. Just purchased this app an it won’t work tells me it’s expired

Very helpful. This is a great app for checking codes and removing them after problem is fixed

Great app. Works well although can be a little slow to respond.

Mr 4x4. This is a great app. I’ve tried so many others without success. It’s easy to use and the data is very useful. I tow a lot and carry weight with highly modified vehicle and love the fact that this app provides excellent real time data on power gains with any modifications.

Best paid option for IOS. I have tested a lot of OBD2 apps trying to find one that has the right mix of information. This has been the best by far and was more than worth the price tag.

Used on several makes and it works well. I have checked European vehicles and several Japanese cars. Great feedback on the gauges which makes it more than just a fault detection and works on elm low cost interfaces. Only problem I have seen is pre 2014 Hyundai i20 would not detect or read.

Not great. Can't do that much with it

AutoMeter DashLink. Does not work with this intact the auto meter DashLink doesn’t even work with its own app and has no support at all Don’t waste your money or time with it

Ok I guess.... still a waste though if it expires after buying. Bought the app only a month ago maybe 2 months tops, and already when I try to use the app it says “this version has expired” so I guess that was a waste of money.

Not good. Saying my car has 420max hp and 400max tq when I floor it, but my car is stock and has 333hp in the book and about 300tq. Doesnt show boost (maybe not their fault could be my car that has no sensor for that)

Excellent! Works on iOS 10.3.3 AUTHORS PLEASE DON'T EVER CHANGE!. Excellent! Works on iOS 10.3.3 AUTHORS PLEASE DON'T EVER CHANGE!

Airbag. Question for the programmers? Will you add the airbag code reader in update? Thanks

Dash command. What a great tool for the diy’ers. Always ready to be used. Erase codes, see parameters and performance while you drive. Awesome. This is a true review from a real customer.

be careful before you buy!. they could at least mention that its not compatible with cars over 2014... My car is a 2015... 13.99$ to the garbage, thank you very much!

Solid product. Keep the App updated and it pairs wonderfully with my now old PLX kiwi.

Used to work, now it’s a brick. Not sure what’s going on, when I try to start the app it tells me it’s expired? Not sure how this happens with a free app that was updated a month ago

Amazing. Works good. Really happy on how the app works. Would like to see it to be able to Work with apple CarPlay.

No longer working. I used this app regularly but now it seems to have stopped working with all my vehicles.

Worked well. This app worked extremely well up until a few months ago when the expiration came up. Updated app and still the same thing. Was one of the best apps up to that point.

Not working after io14. Have used this app for years with no issues until updating to ios14 now it won’t connect to interface

Kiwi 4. Not working with a kiwi 4. :(

Not up to date. Last available year is 2014, no recent cars

Do Not download this. I paid three years ago and it refuses to let me use app. Tried every email address I have and says Invalid email when I tried using the forgot password, also Virus scanner says that it has been hacked by pirate website.

Not worth it without additional $. This is no better than the free apps. Don’t fall for it. Getting any additional useful into involves further expense on top what you’ve already paid. $10 per cylinder for injector rates, for example. PER CYLINDER! This one is a scam.

GREAT APP, NICE INTERFACE. Has been working great over the years ! Only thing is I can’t input the right gear ratios for my 2008 GTI, it says gear 5 must me higher than gear 4, which is not the case ! Hope you can resolve that issue !!

Dash command. Useless app gives no access to sensors or diagnostic tests. Don’t waste your money unless your just looking to read codes.

Issues with speed. My speed always glitches out and I’ve tried multiple different dash things on the app that I downloaded, any tips to make it work correctly instead of it glitching out?

OBD. Work very well !!!

Refund required. This app didn’t work and then it expired after a couple of days GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK

$16 spent 2 days ago and now copy expired????. As of June 13th the app started displaying “thus copy of dashcommand has expired” and will exit the app. I had just spent $16 on an expansion module 2 days earlier. Now useless. Please advise how to rectify or please refund my money.

Works well. I probably use it about 6 times a year for my vehicle and for various friends and family It is however easy to misplace and I may have to order a replacement as mine has gone missing TryingtolearnActual

So out of date. I think the UI needs an update. So boring compared to many other apps, and now cars are coming with more advanced computers in the dash so this app could become redundant by 2020. Maybe just cleaning the app up a bit. Allowing it to run in the background would be nice too. Works ok.

No longer maintained. This app is no longer maintained. The most recent year you can select for your car is 2014. Looks and feels very out of date now.

Ok but.... Decent for basic diagnostics but I have a couple codes that are only available with the GM add on!?!? I see I can add a GM pack for $10 so I may try that.

Expired without warning!. Never worked remarkably well and now it’s suddenly expired and won’t open. How is this ethical? There’s an assumption that once you purchase an app you will have access to it permanently. Why not release a separate app and just drop support for this one if you feel there are enough new features to warrant repurchase of the app? Who’s going to continue paying for your apps when they may suddenly ‘expire’ one day? Update: Seems to be working now, but who knows for how long.

Mpg gage doesn’t work - no support. Cant get mpg to work and this is the reason for the purchase. Havnt yet recieved support from the company, called and left a support message

Pas à jour. Pas de véhicule après 2014... On est presque en 2017 !!!

Is this updated for version 14?. Is this up-to-date because I cannot connect?

Excellent OBDII App. I have used DashCmd for a while now and it works amazingly. It has all the dials that I need to keep track of all on a easy to read layout

App not working With IOS. The App will not connect to my vehicles. Is there a missing update

Is nice. I like

Gee wow, first update in two years. I used to love this app but clearly the developer doesn't. First update in two years

Terrible update!!! DO NOT TRUST. It has been working for about 2 months after last updates. Even with terrible user experience, but working. Today it stopped. Shows the message: Copy has expired. I legally bought it and it is not working. If it happens on a road when you have to rely only on it? Last updates comment: Who can read navy blue on gray? Impossible to operate. Wrong screen proportion - circle becomes elliptical. Previous version was much better. I don’t understand how Apple approved this app

Works quite well. I am using it on a 1999 Honda CR-V. It works quite nice especially with the iPad. The iPhone looses Bluetooth connection from time to time.

Worked once.. Paid for this app and it was a pain to get working the first time and after awhile it just connected and worked once and it never connected to the OBD II again. I tried everything but no luck. I now use a free app for another service and so happy I did. Oh and I would like my money back as well but just like this app working I can’t see that happening.

Great tool. Have it for few hrs now . Use it on all 5 vehicles . And keeps getting updated making easier to use . Would recommend

Almost perfect. Wish you folk would adopt the Apple CarPlay interface so your app could be used via newer cars in dash Bluetooth connectivity programs. Aside from that the program has been valuable for years of car ownership. As well it allows for helping others with their car coding issues.

Don’t get scammed. I don’t know why apple allows this app on the App Store it does not work at all.

DashCommand is Awesome!. As long as you have an OBD2 dongle that works, the app works awesome.

Wow!. Everything you could want. This is an excellent app for added vehicle info!

No updates for 2 years. Don’t buy if your car is newer than 2014. No updates, no support. Awful! Stay away

I demand a full refund. Since my 2017 car isnt listed and this app is uselee to me ( never used it) i demand a full refund !!!!!

Update. The app is very impressive but it is in dire need of a bit of a update to look a little better

Great app. I love it!

It’s okay.. The worst thing about it is that if you don’t update it very regularly, it won’t even open up. Very annoying. Beyond that it’s a decent app. Reads a lot generic parameters.

No longer works.. App has worked perfectly for years. Recently it cannot connect to hardware. Not sure if it’s an update with the app or an issue with ios 15. Someone needs to fix this cause I’m not paying a mechanic $90 to tell me why my engine light is on.

Decent but needs Trans temp. This is a good app but having trans temp would make it 5star. Until then 3 stars

Rev-It-Up!. Great App.! works as described. Helped diagnose some issues not known. Awesome!

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Very bad!. I buy this app because tell me is the only one work with Elm357. I try to connect and don’t work!!! Go in internet try to found the solution but nothing work. Send an email to the company, no answer. Try to d’élite and reinstalled the app, NOTHING!!! I have the connection in my IPhone with Elm but the app still don’t work! I’m really disappointed because spend money for nothing!!!

Works well, has lots of built in potential.... This app does exactly what I had hoped for, and then some... The year is 2020, I'm utilizing a super cheap ELM 327 wifi OBDII plug, and this app runs and operates flawlessly for thme most part, on an Apple iPad Mini (Circa 2012) Best 10 bucks I ever spent on my car, I think. :)

Pretty nice.. Some things are hard to figure out. Overall provides tons of information about performance etc. I have quit figured out how to enter my fuel price with fillup so I’ve not been able to get a cost per trip/mile... with the car I drive it’s almost a necessity. Gauges are plain unless you get a skin/gauge pack. Some things it says my car is capable of providing data for, but I have been able to get them to work... even after paying extra for the GM addon. It’s inexpensive but I’d like more.

Great App. Great app! Just buy the Palmer Performance OBD-II Link for your OS. The cheaper crap that sells on eBay is just that - crap. You pay less for a non working link. Get the recommended link from Palmer Performance. Works great - every time.

Cool. I like using it to see my mileage and codes that may pop up. Shows the power and torque output all the time. Still have to learn how to use it more.

I love this app.. This is a great app all around. I can diagnose my vehicles or any of my friends and family’s vehicles too. I also love the other little things I can do with this app such as the instant fuel economy and the HP and Torque gage.

Finally updated!. The app has finally been updated. Worked fine for me before, but it works a lot better this time around. Certainly helps with pulling trouble codes, getting sensor readings that aren’t in the cars dash, etc

Won't clear fault codes?. Have been trying to clear evap codes but it doesn't work. Fixed evap line and it still shows codes. Shouldn't it at least clear them and then have them come back a few minutes later? Check engine light on and can't get it off!

Great Tool. I love this tool. I have paid for the full version for 3 different vehicles and it works flawlessly with my iPhone on a WiFi obd 2 reader.

Useful tool. It’s been over a few years now since I have been using this app. I have had great experiences using it. Very stable. Very easy to use. I would recommend.

Great way to monitor my truck. I really appreciate this app. I use an iPhone and the only thing they need is a spot in their website that gives brand names of the wireless adapters that are known to work. Two tries but finally found the right one.

Amazing, one small issue. Overall this app gives a ton of information and is very good for monitoring. But, when data logging, and one is wanting to reply said data log, it stops showing data changes after about 3-5 seconds of playback. Can you guys please fix this issue?

Won’t connect. I purchased this app with high hopes that it would make me a little more knowledgeable about my car and get my check engine light to go off. I have spent hours trying to get this app to hook up to my car. I printed there manual and nothing works. All I have got is less money in my wallet. I sent them a email and NO reply. Don’t waste your money

Capable and fun!. This app has helped me identify the cause of two issues on my 2011 BMW. Also helped confirm manufacturers specs for engine power and acceleration. Well worth the low cost. Good support from the developer too.

Finally a new update. Like the addition of direct menus button, no long press is needed which speedups the navigation significantly. The support of iPhone XR screen is still not optimized, the screen aspect ration looks stretched vertically. I hope the update won’t take long to fix that

Excellent app. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve used this app. I especially like the data logging feature.

Works well, but a little outdated. Works as advertised, and definitely worth the 10 bucks. 4 stars though because the app seems a little outdated and doesn't support vehicles newer than about 2014. Still functions well and is very useful!

Not perfect. I really enjoy this software and for the most part does a good job. One frustrating thing is that NEITHER of my cars showed up in the database. 2009 Nissan 370z and 2014 Nissan Juke Nismo. For those newer than 2014, I predict even more frustration since within manual selection, 2014 is the last year in the list. I put in my VIN numbers manually, but have no clue if they are actually reading a database. I’m a gadget junky and love the feedback that I get. Thankfully, I currently don’t have any codes thrown, so I can’t comment on that functionality.

Refund has not been processed and customer service hang up on me. I purchased this app and try to use it with my Bluetooth ODB to read her because It said It would work and it did not I changed all the settings on the app It couldnt ever find my device.I tried to call the customer service line and I was on Hold for several minutes and then I was hung up on totally disappointed and want my money back

Great app! One suggestion.. I love all the information you can get from the app. My suggestion is to make it easier to tell which PIDs will actually display for your car.

Do not purchase. This app does not function correctly and is loaded with glitches. Does not read correctly and barely works. If I could get my $10 back I would but that's not possible. Please avoid this app to save the frustration. You can see that plenty of people have had problems with the app. I thought I wasn't going to have problems with it but ended up just uninstalling the app.

Nobody Home at Palmer Performance. I have used this app for a few years. It’s worked pretty well. However I recently tried to buy an in app add on to debug misfires. My iTunes account was charged but the add on was never added. The app attempts to contact Palmer Performance and times out. I tried contacting them through their web site which won’t work. Almost like they really don’t want to be contacted. I’ve also filed a complaint with Apple so we will See how responsive they are.

Garbage. For 10$ I expect at least matched functionality of the app I got with my adapter. It’s missing a huge number of PID’s which can be gathered from a scan, in an effort to make gauges pretty they don’t function when they are changed from one type to another, all I was looking for was a quickly updating dashboard where I can monitor things which are not in my gauge cluster.

Worked Well for 2 Days..... I purchased this app and it worked great for the first two days. I tried to use the app today and all I get is an error that says “This copy of DashCommand has expired”. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, restarting my phone multiple times, nothing works. I ended up paying $10 bucks for a app that worked for 2 days? There’s a major glitch in this program somewhere.

Excelent Option to know a little bit more about your car. Works seemlessly, porovides tons of infomation. Been Wi-Fi limits access to the internet while connected.

Better than the stock app on wifi obd-2. I used to use the stock app for Obdlink MX wifi, it doesn't compare to DashCmd. I get more information and paid the extra $10 to get everything on my Chevy.

Great App. Super awesome for diagnostics and especially vehicle performance monitoring. I just wish I could calibrate the fuel screen a little easier. I can't see my fuel levels or miles till empty and I haven't found a good article on how to work that yet.

Great app. Been using this app for a few years and have always been very helpful Would recommend to friends and family

Sweet app!. Best ODB2 app that I've been able to find. Clean interface, customizable dashboard, data logging, fast syncing, very stable, what more could you want? Worth every penny! Great job dev team!

Worked great on the BMW, Jeep and 4Runner. Got this due to the Bavarian community but has worked in all my other vehicles as well! I use cheap wifi obd2 for a few years now with no issues!

Great Diagnostic Tool. Have used with multiple vehicles from different manufacturers. Perfect quick info to get started on repair. Don't be afraid to buy in-app addition packs for specific vehicles, they will pay back quickly in time saved.

Does Everything I Need It To Do. I've had this app for almost 2 years now, and I've been very happy with it. It's helped me troubleshoot problems with four vehicles, clear codes, and see performance issues. Highly recommend!

Best obd2 app. This is the best obd2 app for use with pretty much all generic obd2 scanners. Tons of info, custom dashboards, extended parameters by year and manufacturer (ford, gm, ect. they’re an extra 10$ but it’s worth it). Along with that, customer service is top notch.

Disappointed. First fix that needs help is iPhone X screen support, I feel like I am on my old iPhone 5 looking at this. Second is I actually purchased this because pioneer electronics says it works with AppRadio and Apple CarPlay and both of those are false. I wanted to monitor my car using CarPlay and after purchasing all the stuff to do it, and not having it work is a big disappointment.

Works Great. I had researched these devices for awhile and because of the good reviews I purchased this App. It worked just fine with the device I purchased for my Chevy truck. It's worth the money to buy. It even cleared the check engine light I had... Good Luck

Works with my iPhone!. I got this as a general purpose car monitor and because the iPhone does not always pair with unknown Bluetooth apps, I needed something different. That app is very easy to configure and use. I get great diagnostics and it supports up to 10 cars. Very please with dashcmd.

Updates?. What happened to this product? No updates in over 2 years! It has a range of features, but I had to get a new Bluetooth adapter and DashCommand won’t connect to it. When, if ever, will you guys add Bluetooth 4 BLE support??

Very helpful. The shop wanted an absorbent amount of money to diagnose and repair my transmission. With this I was able to diagnose the problem myself and replaced a hand full of sensors that fixed the problem.

Doesn’t work with KiWi4. No longer works at all with Kiwi4. Used to work off and on. It was fiddly and would connect t after several tries or only if you connect right after starting car. Other apps work for example recently installed BimmerLink and connects every time.

Barely worth it.. The app struggles to connect with the WiFi OBD2 dongle, sometimes taking 4-5 minutes to complete a connection. The app also fails to recognize my account after an IOS update on my iPhone, then proceeds to ask for additional purchases (that had already been made) in order to provide any info about stored trouble codes.

Wonderful. I first bought an ODB2 connector when buying a used car, and downloaded 5 or 6 different apps. This one was by far the most comprehensive and easy to use. . Awesomeness!

Saves big bucks!!!. Lots of places will charge $50 to read your car's codes. Not only does this read codes, it also gives you realtime stats like the tools that cost over $150!! I use mine with the ELM 327 (WiFi)

Does the Job. I still have a lot of playing around to do with it, but I like what I've seen so far. I'm sure when I finally get around to reading the manual, a lot of my questions will be answered.

Bronco fixer.. My ‘96 Bronco would throw a lot of codes that really weren’t serious but bugged me when the check engine light would come on. Being able to reset them or learn what was really serious made enjoying my FSB that much better.

In general. I do lots of work on cars and trucks this app seems to make things much easier for diagnosing problems. Codes and all kinds of goodies.

Good app backed by good developers. Purchaseed this app and it told me as soon as I opened it that the app had expired. Emailed the developer no thanks to apple. Figured out how from the developers site. And within 24hrs they pushed an update and now it works. Great GUI(graphical user interface) easy to setup. Good buy. Do it get it great features.

The beginning and the end. This was great in the beginning. I bought the additional PIDs and I could create gauges very specifically for my needs, I could at one point read balance rates on my duramax, now they aren available anymore and I don’t even have options to purchase them. So, they 5 times I was able to use it it was exactly what I needed. Now, I feel like it stole my money....

Works very well!. Works as it should. I was able to sync it to my car wifi so I can stream music and use my gps and monitor the "dashboard". Good stuff!

very useful. I have used this many times to diagnose issues and sometimes to simply reset the check engine light

Zero Customer Service Don’t Waste Your Money. Have emailed customer support twice in 3 weeks with no replies. App connects but does not provide any metrics, other than saying it is connected. Not sure if I’m doing something or if it is a setting, but with no response from customer service after 2 emails the app gets a 1 star. No way to return, doesn’t work as described, no customer support, don’t waste your money.
