User Reviews for DashCommand - OBD-II Gauges

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?

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.

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...

Updated Review, Downgrade

Update Oct 2018The 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
