LeafSpy Pro App Reviews

Still going. 5 yrs later and this app is still going! There’s a new group of people buying old leafs to help save money on Biden’s crazy gas pump prices. Hopefully we see some updates in the UI. Maybe a refreshed UX !

App won’t start? Apple os updated?. today it won’t start it’s suspicious that Apple did an update last night. I reset my phone and now the app launches.I wish all electric cars and plug-in hybrids had this app

App is an incredible tool. This app is an incredible tool allowing owners to see many aspects of their Leaf vehicle parameters. Including the High Voltage battery information and overall health. Low voltage battery is also available. I use it to reduce my range anxiety on road trips since it will show be the real battery State of Charge (SOC) and an estimated DTE ( Distance to Empty). I set mine to show the estimated range until real 1% SOC. I use this instead of relying on the dashboard range, which is more conservative. It also allows you to see and reset DTCs ( Diagnostic Trouble Codes).

Took a gamble. $20 for app not updated in years seemed like a gamble and would not do again if had the choice. I just wanted to get some more real time energy consumption data for my 2023 Leaf but the app reports a TON of meaningless stuff with very little actionable information. Lots of noise, broken features, ugly interface, etc. Wouldn’t recommend.

Useful buying used. You can get a good idea of battery state of health - and find battery related problems. Otherwise - not really useful for 2021 and later. VSP sound management doesn’t work for the latest models.

Works on my 2011 Leaf. I have the old Leaf and we’ve decided to not buy a new car and do a lot of the maintenance ourselves to save money. This app worked out of the box for us. Probably because it was originally designed for old Leafs. Was nervous about spending $20 on an app, but happy with the purchase after using it. Someone mentioned that the design is for engineers…yeah, it’s not pretty, but I’m an engineer and it makes sense to me. ;)

Will NOT turn off VSP on 2021 LEAFs!. App works wonderfully for everything EXCEPT turning off VSP sounds on 2021 LEAFs, and that’s a shame because the sounds are MUCH louder on this particular model year. Please update the app to be able to do this!

Great tool for anyone with a Leaf. This is a great tool to get additional info from the Leaf about battery health, battery temp, tire pressure, and more! This latest version added support for turning off the annoying backup sound as well as the slow forward motion high pitched sounds - allowing the 2013 and later Leafs to be quiet as they should. The moment I got this version I turned off the annoying VSP sounds making the Leaf much better! Thanks for adding this functionality!

Works with some OBD 2 devices. I had to purchase a different WiFi OBD 2 device to get the app to work. Then it stated working fine. Good data and clearing codes is great.

Does not change reverse beeping or on sound on 2022 leaf S. I tried numerous times to turn off the beeping sound but the toggles on the VSP menu do nothing. I thought this was supposed to turn off these sounds. Waste of money.

Still going strong. App has been running great for more than 4 years on a 5, 8, Xr, 12mini, iPad mini, and iPad Pro. GUI could use a refresh but it works regardless of ambient lighting. TPM feature has been a life saver!

Can’t change sounds on leaf 2022. I bought the app to turn off the sounds but it seems I should have read ALL the reviews first. Cannot turn of the sounds on never leafs. Ugh.

Does not work on iPhone X. I’m rating this at one star in hopes that it will kick start an update. I spent $20 on this and was only able to use it for about a week. I had never spent that much on an app before and will be very unhappy if I’m not able to use it again.

Stale software. Don’t buy this. The software hasn’t been updated since 2017. I also can’t get it to work on 2019+ model years.

Vital for Leaf Owners, Refresh Necessary. Essential for monitoring battery health (SoH, degradation, cell balance) with a compatible OBD-II adapter. I especially the ability to export trip logs to CSV for Excel/Dropbox. Pros: - Detailed diagnostics - Trip logging & export - No subscriptions Cons - Last updated 2023 - Clunky UI, hard-to-read graphs - Poor in-app help Request: Outside temperature & avg efficiency (mi/kWh) to trip logs for better analysis. Verdict: Best Leaf battery app—needs a refresh for 5 stars.

Complete garbage. I don’t know where to start. I am an iOS developer and I am shocked that Apple even allows this horrible software in the AppStore. Completely nonstandard unusable amateur user interface. This isn’t even worth free let alone $19.

Use it all the time, but...... This is a great app and I use it just about every time I drive my car. The but is.......I moved to a new area with varied terrain and seasonal temperatures. The miles/kWh isn’t as accurate as I would like when discovering new routes to my destinations. I think it’s because the kWh units are too small (the degraded battery in my 2011 holds less than 14kWh. Instead, I think a GIDs/Mile feature would allow better assessment of various routes, and sections of routes, as I have 200+- of those when starting out. Perhaps a real-time GIDs/Mile reading as well as an average reading would be helpful. Anyway, thanks for the great app!

Just to be sure. Although it says it there in small print, this only works with an OBDII adaptor, which you need to hook up and then keep there. I thought the bluetooth alone would be sufficient.

Lots of info. I like the app but when it is open there is a clicking sound near the left tail light on my 2022 Leaf SV. The are 4 clicks then silence then 4 clicks then silence then …….

Great app!. I used this app extensively on my 2023 Leaf and loved it! Now I have a 2026 Leaf and would happily pay extra for this app to support it. 2026 Leaf is an entirely different generation from the previous ones and not currently supported.

Broken App. Tried to use the app this morning. The app crashed. No update whatsoever by the developer. Please help!!!

No work. Used to work on 2011 Nisan Leaf using Veepeak VP01 but no more.

Great app with one downfall. Love this app. No more distance anxiety. But no split screen multitasking mode! Slider mode works but it covers part of needed data. I have an iPad mini w/cellular and it would be awesome to have Waze & Leafspy side by side on my iPad mini! Please add this feature. 5 stars if not for that!

Love this app. I used it to find out the State of Health of the used 2016 I wanted to buy with 41K miles on it. SOH was 86.1% 2 1/2 years later, and 8,000 miles of local country driving later, my SOH is 83.3% and I still have 11 bars. This in the cold New England winters and hot-ish humid summers, living outside, no garage. Sorry app, does exactly what I need to ck the battery health, charging balance etc.

Great tool if you run into Leaf issues. First time leaving an app review but felt compelled to share my experience. The user interface is a bit difficult to figure out, I think that why it’s rated close to 3.5 stars, but it works. This is a great tool if you want to know more about your battery health but also like me you have DTCs (aka MIL/check engine light) Saved me a trip to the dealer and I was able to fix my no engine start issue. Even if you’re not a DIY person, getting the codes and using some AI you can at least have a good conversation with your vehicle service center. Finding the DTC was challenging, I had to ask an AI bot for help. Final note, yes you must have a Bluetooth OBD II scanner for this to work. Make sure you perform a search to confirm compatibility with the OBD II reader and this app.

Helped SO much with purchasing a Leaf!!. I was test driving a 2018 Leaf and found out the battery had a bad SOH. I didn’t purchase that because of this app. I found one with a good battery SOH and scoped it out again with this app and the OBDLink MC+ connector. This helped me so much with finding a good Leaf to buy!!!

THE TOOL. One word, must have ! A huge thank you for the app. If you like stats, percentages, but most important real time charge of your Nissan Leaf.

What’s up Doc. You got me Doc

Tool for Distance Diving and Car Buying. I use this whenever i am driving "longer" distances or running low on charge. I have also used it to check battery capacity of cars i am shopping for. Love the details.

Can t update sounds in leaf plus 2022- bug?. Looks like the vsp buttons do not change any sound. It silences it briefly for a few sec after hitting the modify button, then drive, reverse beeping, etc sounds come back. Bug to fix? Otherwise battery etc info all work fine.

Nothing happens. Plugged in the LELink. Opened app. Well, I should say I tried to open the app. When I tap the app it just goes back to the phone screen. Literally nothing happens. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. Still nothing. This is a brand new iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 15.5.

Paid for itself!. This app just paid for itself by letting me register the TPMS of my winter tires/wheels instead of paying a tire shop or dealer to do it. That alone is worth the app price, but it also adds all kinds of useful information regarding battery health, etc. only downside is that I wish the UI was a bit easier to use.

So ugly it’s unusable. This app does work and provides some very useful insight into battery health. It’s also the ugliest interface I’ve ever seen on an app. To the point that it gets in the way of the information. There is very little context given as to what anything means so I usually ignore everything except Sate of Health. Needs a completely new UI!

Outstanding. Do not understand the low ratings. This is a treasure.

Great service when needed. Bought an ODB2 adapter that was said to work with the software, and it didn’t. Emailed the developer at 10am on a sunday and got a response back in 26 minutes giving me access to a beta that fixed the problem (which should be out soon). Very much appreciative.

Well worth the price!. All the info I need for my leaf, well worth the price for what it can do.

This tool paid for itself the day it arrived.. This tool paid for itself the day it arrived. I disabled the backup warning (it had to go) and low speed warning noises. The tire pressure monitor (TPM) is very helpful. It took about 15 mins to get the TPM assigned to the correct corner once I understood the GUI. The assigning process could be much more simple, but it does work fine. I like having the live data from the TPMs. Very useful battery monitoring tools that take some time to understand the data your getting. I found some of the change options under the service screen (if used incorrectly) detriment. The warnings are there and would recommend users heed them or at least proceed with carefully.

Leaf Spy Locked my VSP and other service mode options. Hmm everyone said to get leaf spy cause it was so great. Cool buy the dongle buy the app. Cool. Can see awesome info. Hey cool can disable sounds. Hey look now all my service mode options are gone. Unplugged 12v battery and HV battery. Removed app. Reinstalled app. Still can’t undo or see the service mode options. So not only is the service mode options disabled. Now I can’t undo the settings this app did allow. Super frustrating

Awesome. If you have a LEAF, you NEED this app. Also, it integrates with ABRP(A Better Route Planner) to give you live battery telematics for high-end route planning.

Cannot disable reverse beep on 2012 Leaf. The other features are helpful.

2023 update!. Great to see updates after all these years! This app is a tool and you must read the manual to get the most out of it. It provides a wealth of data that helps you confidently squeeze the last bit of range from your LEAF. It’s not the prettiest design, but it’s practical and useful, like the original LEAF. I use it on every drive and have never found myself stranded thanks to the data out provides.

Outstanding Tool. LeafSpy is an outstanding tool that was very beneficial when purchasing a used leaf. After the purchase it has been a value add for monitoring the battery state of health as well as monitoring the leaf in general. One thing that I would like to see in the app is the ability to have two profiles for two different Nissan Leaf‘s so that I can select which Leaf I’m connecting to. Well worth the purchase price. Absolutely no regrets.

scam alert. I downloaded the app out of curiosity. It didn't suit me and I immediately removed it. Imagine my surprise when a day later I received a notification that the application had charged me $20! The application is free on the Apple Store. In the application itself, no windows with subscription offers popped up. I open a dispute and warn everyone, do not download this application, it is a scam!

Leaf noise. To get the noises to stop are worth it. Hope the app will one day be able to work on my 2022. Thank you James

Useless unless you are an engineer. I was expecting a nice clean interface with clear explanations, but instead paid $20 for an unusable mess. Did anyone else notice that the app hasn’t been updated in 2 years! Shame on this developer. Either work on the app or make it free. Very disappointed.

works on 22 S+. seems to work okay. using a veepeak wi-fi adapter. took a chance since couldn’t get a response from developer and just bought it. responding to customers could definitely be better if he is still even around.

15.5 has broken the app.. This app worked fine for me until the last ios update.

Worthless. Store description only states that a Bluetooth 4.0 OBDII reader is needed. You don’t find out it ONLY works with very specific ones until AFTER you buy. No support. Waste of money.

Automatic $$ Charge. This app showed up as free on the App Store, I did not accept any in-app purchases and was charged $20. I don’t even have an OBD yet I just wanted to check the app out- and upon looking it’s too complicated for me and I prefer the dealership. I need a refund as I never accepted to buy this or saw the price just got a receipt in e-mail which I’ve requested Apple to refund. It just charged me same-day but many hours after I downloaded the app.

Fiat 500e. Any chance this can be made to work on a Fiat 500e?

Allow Apple car play access. Guys can we please allow Apple CarPlay access to app save us touching our phones.

Hindrance or help? Def. hindrance. This would have to be the worst user interface you would ever expect to see. I looks like it was written in 1995, only worse.

Does not work with Mini OBD2 scanners. Do not purchase this LeafSpy app if using a Mini OBD2 Bluetooth 4.x scanner. It doesn’t work. Download the Car Scanner app instead which works perfectly.

Required app for LEAF owners. Make sure you follow the suggestions on the website for which OBD dongles actually work with the iOS version specifically! This will give you accurate battery status and range predictions, as well as easy access to diagnostic codes (“scan tool”) that can save you thousands in repair by working out the issue instead of just trusting the Nissan dealers…

Functional. Got the recommended OBD plug (lelink). Works no problem, technically. Synced straight away etc. Learned lots about my Leaf. Even serves as a link for other apps (e.g. a better route planner). Interface really needs… modernising. GUI looks like it arose from the Apollo era.

Poor user face and didn’t work. I couldn’t get it to actually work There was no set up support in the app so I don’t know why I could not get it to work

Easy to use. Used the dongle suggested in the help page, works like a charm. Easy to see my battery status, especially when low.

Fantastique!. Superbe application. Très bien conçu. Fonctionne très bien. You should indicate that your application is not only in English, on the App Store.

Tire pressure no available for 2018 :-(. J’ai acheté leafspy pro pour reprogrammer mes tpms quand je change de pneu. Et l’option n’est pas encore valide pour une 2018. Soyez avisé! Je crois que la fréquence des tpms 2018 est de 433. A quand une mise jour?

No connection. Version 2.0.0 don’t fit with iOS 17.1.1

Charge log not working. Great data for Leaf owners. It seems that the recommended LELink2 Bluetooth adaptor have an auto-off feature and I can’t log charge data in the app. It stops communicating a few seconds after locking the door. Can we expect an update to have TPMS tire info on 2018-2019 Leaf? Any support on the official forum? no answer so far...

Help. Plugged the Lelink2 in my Leaf 2018 and it worked, got out of the car after a few test. Came back and the device doesnt want to turn on anymore. I use a Iphone 6, lelink2 which is said you support it. Lelink2 talks to use it with another app. With leafspy pro the light sticks to red and doesnt go green. Help! In the app, I see LeLink2 plugged but in the settings I cant seem to set it in the system section

Not working. The bluetooth version of the elm327 is not supported by Apple, thus LeafSpy can't connect to it. Looked in forums but it seems it can't work at all. Wifi version is ok but not the bluetooth. Can't be refunded

2023 model year unavailable yet. I’m wondering when an update will enable the above-mentioned setting. Thx.

Nice app with all nerd knon. Complete stats of the battery Nice reprogram feature Wish for carplay in next release hopefully

Needs an update. LeafSpy won’t work with iOS 10.

Journal inaccessible. Impossible d’enregistrer l’historique des données

Great app for Leaf owners. Amazing app, a must have for owners of a Nissan Leaf. Please, please, please update this app to allow us to change the language displayed on the dashboard on Generation 1 cars.

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!

Finally for the iPhone!. I've been waiting for a while for this to come out. Makes monitoring capacity degradation easy and is required whenever you are going to be cutting the range close.

No battery pairing feature. Have to track down and android and pay another $15 just for the battery pairing feature. Useful app but rating 1 star for not updating

Does not work!. I bought this but immediately found it did not work so I bought Leaf Stat...worked great!

This is great!. This app is great. You can see everything you need about the car. I have the le link OBD adapter. I was under the impression that leaves by was only for android phones but when I downloaded the app and connected it, everything worked!

Solid!. Absolutely no issues with connecting. Self pairing and just works with LELINK I had laying around.

Fantastic app more detailed information!. This app provides more details about your battery than any other Leaf apps out there and data can be exported. GPS logging and all and best of all the app maker is active on mynissanleaf forums so is actively making the app even better. Helped me find the right car and get my battery swapped on warranty. Big thanks! Very easy to use the only thing required is a wifi obd connector which can be found on amazon.

Work first time. Now crashes.. I just bought a leaf and obdii adapter and then this app. It worked great last night. It crashes on startup every time this morning. I even rebooted to see if that helped. Running iOS 9.0.1.

Awesome. A real asset for the community. Tons of data to geek out on your Leaf. You can also change modes to unlock doors upon pressing Park rather than on power off.

Doesn’t work for P3102 code. I purchased this app specifically to erase the P31102 battery code and it didn’t work , I had to get an android phone and buy the app again.

Brilliant App. Noticed right away that one tire over-inflated. Would not think to check that coming off lot. App packed with useful info, helping to ease learning curve transitioning to ZEV. Anticipating more great functionality in updates to come.

Used to love it. Ever since IOS 9, it stopped working. Opens and crashes in about 5 seconds.

Wrong operating system. OK, made a mistake and put the app on my iphone. Instead of my Android phone. How do I correct this issue without me spending $20 more for the android phone? Thanks!

Get this before you buy a used Leaf. I used this app to shop for a leaf with a good battery. I went to the dealership and used Leafspy to hand pick the battery in the best condition vs age. I ended up buying the less expensive car with a better battery! Leafspy saved me $1000 on the first day of use.

Garbage. This is the worse app I ever bought it does not recognize or pair with the new obd 2 it’s a piece of crap save your money and your time l would like a full refund this app is very outdated compared to the ones on YouTube for $20 a straight rip off shouldn’t even be given away for free crap!!!!!

The worst user interface in history of Apps. The user interface is butt ugly and makes no sense. Also it causes one of the relays in my leaf continuously switching on and off, many times a second, I’m positive that’ll shorten its life.

Great access 2 info. Works very well. Highly recommend
