I have their cable (works very well) and have been waiting for this app for a while.
I'm disappointed in the app (for now) and here's why:
I have ISTA, INPA, OBD Fusion (Paid), and Carly w/Carly OBD reader.
ISTA - complicated/detailed work
INPA - quick and dirty work
Carly - reliable, but overly complicated UX when mobile (away from home)
OBD - quick and easy when mobile and/or don't want to get the laptop out
- Just normal everyday monitoring while driving, I like OBD as it's quick, easy, and provides all the live data I like to see. I can open it up and in seconds be looking at meaningful numbers. As soon as I used BimmerGeeks app, OBD would no longer connect. Restarted the phone, re-paired the bluetooth adapter, uninstalled BimmerGeeks, then finally ended up having to re-install OBD. Grrr. Carly had no issues.
- While I completely understand the cost of app dev, all you can do is look at menus with BimmerGeeks without paying for a license. You can't actually see what 'live data' is available or get an idea of how the other functions work unless you watch a YouTube demo (not gonna do it).
- There's no 'Exit' or 'Close' or 'Disconnect' button. At least that I saw anywhere.
- As far as I could tell, you must use BimmerGeeks OBD adapter, which is extra $$ if you want wireless. I used their cable connected to my phone.
In case anyone cares - Android Nougat (7.0), Sony Xperia. I will end up getting a license and
maybe the OBD adapter, just not sure when yet.
