FIXD OBD2 Scanner

gamed rating

An OBD2 scanner with plain-language error code explanations and severity ratings, but the subscription flow is designed so users accidentally agree to a $100-per-year charge without a clear warning.

About the rating

Text average 3.81 at pct5 63% alongside a 4.62 store rating, but the volume of complaints about a hidden $99-106 annual auto-subscription points to an intentionally confusing billing flow. The share of billing-related negatives is unusually high.

Who it is for
