Pants. Doesn't connect to Elm327. I've downloaded countless OBD diagnostic apps and almost everyone has connected to my ELM327 adapter no problem. This is the only app that doesn't. I'll stick with much more reliable Torque thanks.

Auto zone couldnt read the codes, Mary did. Saved me hundreds avoiding the usual alternatives. Escape and Mariner, both hybrids which can be tricky. A breeze with Mary. Simple install, no headsches and all the monitoring options I hoped for. Cant say enough, thank yous.

I have been using this app for years without fail. I like it so well I bought the full version. One of the only apps I've found that clears everything on my Dodge truck, including alerts in the overhead display. I will continue to recommend to others.

On Motorola Edge 40 the app freezes, unable to reconnect after interruptions, screen app shudders, becomes unresponsive. Many pre 2005 cars not supported. Can be made to look nice, many customizations. After update fuel consumption not shown.

nice dashboard, however not a patch on SZ scanner for Suzuki. Incorrect faults identified,phantom faults identified , didn't clear codes when it said it had, not user friendly (I work in IT!) freezes, poor connection to Carista module. too late for a refund, useless app 🙄

Of all the ODB apps tried - and they are many - ODB Mary is consistently *solid* - used to connect to a Smart 450 (second, first generation, so to speak) and it connects without a hitch. Even using less-than-ideal ODB adapters.- The real-time metrics feature and very customizable trip statistics are great. But, that'd be worth nothing were it not for the fact that the connectivity is rock solid. Very very recommended application.-

this app refused to quit when I chose to quit all my apps. there's no obvious way in the app itself to quit. and it continues permanently to display an icon in the top-left of my Android screen with no way to remove it without uninstalling the program which is what I'm going to do right now. I highly advise not using this program unless you prefer to have this program running permanently on your phone.

Easy to use and clear obd reader but they will send you an offer in app that if you answer a few feedback questions and give a good rating that they will unlock the app and give you full access. This is a lie. I answered the questions and initially provided a good rating bc the limited features provided work and it was a good offer for full access. But you don't get the benefits of a high rating when you mislead your users.

I will not give a poor review since I didn't utilize all the functions of the app. But I was disappointed the app requires purchase of the full version to test the functionality of some basic features (for instance... trouble codes). The app did give me a free function if I gave a review.. that was before I tried the app. BTW (if it helps anyone) I used an OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth dongle to connect and worked perfectly. Otherwise I will be uninstalling and moving on.

Best i could find so far. You need to pair from the app, not Android or it did not work. But then it could connect. The gauges where slow to update, but the add guage screen shows all values and updates much faster. Also, it suggests grouped requests, but i found it to be better with grouped off.

Using the free version. When I first got this App I could both read diagnostic codes and clear them. With more recent versions I can still read codes but am no longer able to clear them. With the last coupe versions the screens have changed and the screen to clear codes no longer is available . I now get a screen indicating that I need to purchase the full version to get this functionality.

Paid for the full version, but the app freezes and disconnects when selecting options. There is no real technical advantage for this application other than to see what is wrong. There is no guidance with correcting the issues or digging deeper to resolve the major problems. It really only tells you what the problem is and that's all.

Worked for a few weeks and both cars, but now will not connect to either of my vehicles. Sent emails via the App but no response. Plus no way on Google Play to Re-Install, only option is to uninstall. I use the wireless ELM 327 connector. Works fine on buddy;s phone with his Torque App. I paid for the Upgrade, but it keeps telling me to Upgrade and when I clik that option nothing happens. No on-line support, no on-line user manual, suggest you find a better App

this app has been instrumental to resolving the error codes that my 03 Infiniti G35 had. the interface is very user friendly, The trouble code scanner is the best I've seen in any app (full version or not), and I didn't expect this app to continue to be so useful, but the trip log feature (thats surprisingly comprehensive, even in the free version) takes the cake. so useful for logging fuel economy/miles traveled for my job that requires lots of driving. Try this app. you wont regret it!!

My Samsung Galaxy S21 complains about this app "overloading the system" every day when it's not even in use. It'll hit 25% CPU utilization. Maybe it's the periodic report feature that does that. If so, it should do the work incrementally and break it apart into small chunks so it doesn't hit the processor hard like this. I just want a simple app that reads error codes and tracks car activity automatically. Hopefully this will be fixed. Then this would be a five star app.

The app would not connect to the ECU without data... I have two Galaxy j7s, same exact model, so I put this app on the one without data to act as the scanner and it would time out every time... Tried it on the phone with data and it connected right away... What gives? ALSO: It will read the codes but you can only see 1. The others are hidden unless you pay. The free app 'Car Scanner' pulled all mine for free and it's easy to export to text file. Avoid if you are just looking to pull CEL codes.

There are many good OBD apps available, but OBD Mary is just a bit better than the rest. Better UI, better features, better performance. I especially like how much better the free version is than the free versions of the other OBD apps. You don't "need" to upgrade from the free version, but if you can, you should! My 2012 Mazda is starting to show it's age, and I wanted to more closely monitor its performance and also check the error codes that occasionally pop up then go away.
