8 of 25Been using this app for years. Astounding that it hasn’t been integrated with CarPlay. If that is due to a decision made by this company rather than Apple, that’s pathetic.
Come on a lil update. This app has some many useful features.
Update 2026 I just found this on my phone and it’s literally so old it’s unusable. 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.
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.
It's been having a lot of problems lately, and they haven't done an update in a while.
Integrating this into CarPlay would be awesome so I could have it on my screen instead of looking down at my phone.
The pop up Select your interface WILL NOT CLOSE. I CAN'T USE THE APP AND I PAID FOR THIS APP.
I’ve use this app for years across both domestic and foreign cars and it’s always done well for me
