FORScan Lite - For Ford, Mazda Customer Service

FORScan Lite - for Ford, Mazda Positive Reviews

CrashesFor basic usage, it works ok. The interface is...odd. Under service tests, “Rmode Rebalance” it completely crashes. Even just clicking the “i” causes it to crash. And apparently no way to display temperatures in Fahrenheit?.BottleworksVersion: 1.5.9

Great scan tool for ford diesel trucksI was skeptical about this app. With Larry mixed reviews I thought I’d give it a shot for $6.So glad I did well worth the money. I have a 02 7.3 power stroke. it dose everything I needed KOEO tests KOER test, Injector buzz test and cylinderContribution test To name a few.I guess the laptop version allows for programming as well but this is a pretty full comprehensive app for your phone..ChristopherE.EvansVersion: 1.5.12

Works greatYou have to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit by tapping on the pids and selecting Fahrenheit when adding them to your data view. I didn’t realize this was possible for a long time. The app works great, allows me to see a large amount of vehicle data that other scanners can’t see or they just get wrong. Works on my Mazda too..TelMinzVersion: 1.5.12

NOT a Lite appThis app is not a lite version of a more robust app ... it gives you an enormous amount of insight to your vehicle ... a bit of a learning curve but invaluable. I had problems with my Elm device st first and the customer Service was excellent and helped me fix my issues 100-percent. I have already saved a lot of money being able to diagnose problems that the dealer would’ve charged me a ridiculous amount of money for and I was able to fix myself. For a Ford this was better and cheaper than all of the other apps out there and I have tried many! The developers continually keep this app relevant and up to date. Thanks for this app!.Greasy WillyVersion: 1.4.3

User attention to detail pays offTried it on my iPhone and it worked great Tried it on my iPad and I got a odbc device chipset error saying odbc device was a clone and not compatible. Removed odbc device and reattached, followed the prompts about the different can bus toggle on , etc, when it was done with the setup it worked fine. So basically if you switch devices you have to re set up I got more than what I expected interns of functionality and actual data that is represented. Lots to learn about the odbc ii modules Great app.SupedutyVersion: 1.4.4

If yo own a Ford, you need this appThis app allows you to access more data about your Ford than you know what to do with. You get access to every single PID and the testing and mode $06 info is great. A must have!.Patriot JonVersion: 1.4.3

Finally worksOriginally never works and then after multiple hours of testing and reconfiguration it finally me decided to work.Guyl PechmagreVersion: 1.5.14

OMG The App I have been looking for!For months been having transmission issues after install....was able to clear TCM module through this app!!!! Save me money and head aches....David R. Jr.Version: 1.5.7

AmazingVery easy to use and it’s one of the few that allows my diesel to run injector operation checks!.DonynieVersion: 1.5.10

Worked perfectWorked great with my Mazda CX-5. Has PIDS that I couldn’t get on other scanning software. Well worth the price!.AdK3ll3yVersion: 1.5.21

Just what I neededI paired it with the kiwi3. Works fantastic on my ‘99 Powerstroke 7.3. Was able to do a buzz test on injectors, monitor trans temp while towing etc. lots of great features..Natedog266Version: 1.5.7

Great app. Just need F and PSII would give 5 stars but I cannot find a way to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit. Or kPa to PSI. It’s annoying to do the conversions. But it’s a great app. Also wish the display was customizable. Used on 6.0 Powerstroke Ford..Phillip McreamoleVersion: 1.4.4

BMS reset is worth $6Bought this app for $6 instead of paying a dealer to reset Battery Management System on a 14 Escape. cheap for what it does. Thanks.KugruVersion: 1.5.8

Needs quality of life featuresFORScan is an absolute necessity if you own a Ford or Mazda and do your own maintenance and repairs. It’s a terrific and powerful app that gives you access to sensors and functions of your car that other apps cannot. It is very powerful and affordable. For about $35—the cost of the app and a *real* OBD-II HS-CAN/MS-CAN scanner—you can have a diagnostic tool that’s as capable as the one at the dealership service center. That makes this a no-brained to have and use if you do your own maintenance; it’s one of the best tools you can buy for your tool collection. That being said, I wish it had a “demo mode” that saved the last known connected vehicle’s information, so I could explore the settings without wasting fuel or draining my car’s battery. The app is very deep and can be overwhelming. I’d like to be able to sit down for an hour or two and just explore all the options without being connected to the car. For instance, you can set up “dashboard” panels to display different sensor readings to help you monitor the car and you can save different “dashboards” to quickly reuse later. There are hundreds of sensors to choose from and they’re divided into different categories that can sometimes have cryptic names (fortunately there is a search function). It can take a very long time to sift through all the sensors and pick out the ones you want to monitor and you need to be connected to the car to do so. I’d like to be able to take some of my free time—watching tv on the couch or something—to set up my “dashboards” and have them ready to go when I need to use them, saving time during the actual repair or diagnostic. I implore the developer to look at the “Car Scanner” app in the App Store for inspiration and an idea of what I’m talking about. They have a demo mode where you can use your last connected car or a dummy, default car. It really makes learning the app itself a lot easier and more convenient. This frustration doesn’t ruin the app, though. It’s really a fantastic app, that could just be a little better. Don’t hesitate to download it and help support the development. We need more resources to help make it easier to work on our own cars as the industry (and corporatism in general) tries to make it more and more difficult. And a tip: you do need a fully-featured, non-bootleg OBD-II scanner dongle. You can find more information on FORScan’s website, with specifically-listed makes. Basically, it needs to have the ability to switch between “HS-CAN” and “MS-CAN” modes to access the different kinds of sensors (most of the bootlegs only access HS-CAN sensors, I think). Look for a scanner that specifies it is HS-CAN/MS-CAN capable. If the dongle has a mechanical switch, it’s a pretty good giveaway that it does, since that switch changes modes. Also, you can just consult their site for recommendations..Kungfu.mushroomVersion: 1.4.3

7.3 powerstrokeThis app is awesome!!! It has so much info and so many gauges and tests. It DOES do the injector buzz test for the 7.3 powerstroke. Well worth the money!.Neus525Version: 1.4.5

Pays for itselfI used this in combination with vLinker MC+ obd2 adapter to fix a rough idle issue in my mustang GT. I did the “reset all adaptations” procedure.Rye10516Version: 1.5.16

Exceptional valueActually provides more diagnostic info than my Actron scanner!!.NcrancheroVersion: 1.5.1

Please make temp gauges available in Fahrenheit!!Love the App but can you please make the temp gauges available with Fahrenheit readings. Thank you..Joe19881990Version: 1.5.0

AwesomeThis app makes you wanna buy nothing but fords and Mazdas!.Britt1969Version: 1.3.11

Fantastic AppUsed on my Ford C-Max hybrid and Ford Excursion 6.0L Diesel.KuhlVersion: 1.3.11

Great toolBest scan tool app I've used. Easy to set up. Tons of useful PID's, easy to set up graphs, and the ability to email reports. Add on modules allow for key programming. Also reads chassis codes and software versions. I don't see an easy way to get readiness codes. Too bad it's only for Ford and Mazda..Gus_MahnVersion: 1.3.2

Part time mechanic/ rebuilderI had an airbag (SRS) light on the 2014 Mustang I'm rebuilding. I had already replaced the airbags and had the control module reset by MyAirbags, clock spring, seatbelts, etc., but still had an SRS light. I had an old ELM327 but was reluctant to buy an App because many people said the ELM was only capable of reading ECM codes. I gambled and purchased the ForScan app and it worked perfectly. It gave me the error codes (faulty front impact sensor) and cleared the codes so the SRS light is off. (I had another impact sensor to replace it). ForScan saved me a hundreds off what I would have had to spend on a dedicated SRS reader or dealership expense. Thank you.JgandftHVersion: 1.3.1

ProblemI have the device makes with an Bluetooth I bought it that it makes an I hope that the program is modified to operate Bluetooth or I want to recover my money with thanks Judge / Walid al- Muntasir.Waleed montserVersion: 1.2.4

Absolutely amazing!!!This with a wifi odb2 and your iPhone makes a great ford scanning tool. Best $5 I have ever spent. I hope they expand and make a VW and Toyota too. Great app and great service. Keep up the excellent apps..PopmehardVersion: 1.3.4

Great app!This application used with the appropriate protocol adapter gives access to all modules on manufacturer bus! Can monitor hundreds of parameters in real time and display/clear fault codes. Some minor bugs such as application closing when deleting many items of monitoring list..E GagnonVersion: 1.2.3

Great app. Don’t believe the negative reviewsIf you use an approved OBDII wireless connector (see recommendations from their website), this app works flawlessly. Helpful for uncovering issues or performing resets of common functions, especially for newer Fords and Mazdas..Mr.ForkVersion: 1.5.15

In A Class Of It’s OwnBetter than anything out there. Take the time to learn it. You won’t be disappointed. This is as good as most scan tools. Use this especially with my 6.0. Highly recommend..MurphizVersion: 1.3.11

Works greatUsed on my 2015 F350, works great to monitor all pids..ABChopVersion: 1.3.8

Great!Forscan is great. Those who know, know. I loved it in the computer and being able to use it on my iPhone is even better, no cords. Keep up the good work!.ElptboVersion: 1.2.3

FORScan Lite - for Ford, Mazda Negative Reviews

Excited to see I phone it works on my laptopWow I was so excited to see that forscan was updated to work with iOS, I have a blue tooth 327 adapter it works on my computer but not showing why I can barely move, thought the update would be better as it has been a few years. No it won’t connect, I have a k-3 brand if I can find it, looks like you need that adapter for I phone don’t see that in the reviews , was optimistic because the free version helped me even cleared old codes on my laptop Bluetooth But wont connect with I phone..1boynseaVersion: 1.5.13

DefectiveI’d give it zero stars if I could. Totally fails to connect to my truck. Been to the forum, done all available troubleshooting. It talks to my truck and gets the basic info on the “vehicle” tab, but refuses to connect so I can actually do anything. Just wasted an hour of my life and $6. Just buy the USB plug in and hook it up to a laptop. This iOS version with the Bluetooth/WiFi version is totally defective..BallengerphotosVersion: 1.5.5

Buying was mistakeIt’s been over a week and still Forscan Lite will not find the adapter. A big error message appearing every attempt. Numerous emails to connect@forscan have resulted in innumerable data dumps, do this or that, but no results. The adapter works fine with the OBDLink software and Forscan Viewer software. Stay way from this product and save your money..Zxcvb1234Version: 1.5.11

Garbage appI am so tired of screwing with this app! Have to turn it off and back on again a dozen times just to MAYBE get it to connect! I spent an additional $90 buying the one elm this company recomended, same problem. If the developer is reading this, FIX IT! It’s not like the software in the cars are changing from one day to the next. So obviously the defect is yours..A2010darwinVersion: 1.5.2

What happened?I have a 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid and after last week's update it doesn't connect. The connection icon goes green but it never fully connects. The blue led on the adapter keeps blinking never goes solid either. Please revert back to old version.AtomofthedVersion: 1.5.20

Can’t connectUsed this app for a few months now it won’t connect tried to contact but in the support under contact us you need to upload a data log well if I can’t connect I can’t upload anything also no PID I could find to monitor boost psi.QWwq123#$Version: 1.4.2

It’s a subscription not a onetime paymentI bought it and was charge a subscription and not a one time payment and it does not shows the subscription on my phone I had to call Apple to cancel it.Stef0123456Version: 1.5.20

Gauges not working at all. Could not figure out why.Used the recommended ohp wifi. The iPhone 6 shows its connected to the phone and the ForScan shows fully connected at the bottom of the app. It does let me run all the diagnostic tests like injector buzz test, just not displaying the PIDs I selected, like engine rpm, torque converter slip, tranny temp etc.Cre8erGivethVersion: 1.4.5

DOA AppI’m guessing iPhone updates killed this app off. I no longer can connect to the vehicle. It says it did and shows he info then that’s as far as it gets. Laptop is is for the real version to run..HateshisiphonesoomuchVersion: 1.5.12

Obs 7.3powerstroke DieselNice looking app. Doesn’t connect to my obd2 port through the elm327 device. Other apps work fine for my Japanese vehicles. Was told this would work on numerous accounts for buzz testing. Can’t even connect. Waste of money for diesel application..Zh85Version: 1.4.4

Missing PIdMost recent update removed a bunch of crucial PIDs. No longer can monitor oil temp and icp or ipr pressure and many others. Basically all the most important diesel monitor pids are now gone. I wouldn’t get until they bring them back..GkerndogVersion: 1.4.0

UselessWon’t connect to my OBDII reader. Other apps have no issue. This one can’t see it even though Bluetooth is connected to it..DadasracecarVersion: 1.5.12

Supports limited Bluetooth scannersThe title says it all not the best app for iPhones.AJ4537Version: 1.5.13

No connectionNew buyer Jan 2023. Unfortunately the app would not connect to my high quality ODB Bluetooth device. The device works perfectly with other similar software, in the car in question. I purchased Forscan to get additional functionality for a specific car brand. Obviously, I cannot recommend the app..FractalskyVersion: 1.5.16

Doesn’t workThe demo one is working and when purchasing the lite version won’t connect, i highly doubt that this product is a scam.MhammichVersion: 1.5.9
