Download link is updated. It is recommended to remove previous version before installing new one

BEWARE, IF YOU UNINSTALL OLD FORSCAN VERSION TO UPGRADE TO NEW ONE YOU WILL LOSE EVERY SAVED DATA/SETTINGS.

Tried the app under 4.0.4 . Works very well with BT mode 2 and also tried a new ELM327 v1.5 BT clone adapter. Seems a good one - at least Forscan says so - response time 16ms.
By the way... where does Forscan store the log files and the saved PID reccordings?

At this moment FORScan doesn't save log files exported by user. You can only share them (send by email or dropbox etc). FSL files are saved to internal application storage, in documents folder. This storage is not available for other applications, however you can load them in FORScan itself. You can also share the FSL by email etc.

In one of next versions we are going to add an option to save files in standard Downloads folder.

Minor issue I noticed.

Under Settings I have Measurement set to Imperial but when I add a temperature PID it defaults to degrees C instead of degrees F. Isn't this the purpose of the Measurement setting, to select the proper units?

The Measurement setting change requires reconnect to vehicle, in order to apply the change. It currently works so in all versions (Windows, iOS, Android). Also, the setting doesn't change units for PIDs that already on the board (even after reconnect).

My input for testing:

Tested ELM 327 bluethoot, where i soldered extra components to get J1850 work - showed elm327 v1.5 with delay 30ms, read trouble codes, live stream worked for about 2 minutes, then error showed up and tool disapeared from bluethoot device list, after reconect it identifies up as elm327 v1.5 with delay 15ms but not connecting to car. I think this was to mutch for this chinese junk device..

Tested another chinese device, called "EODB/ODB diagnostic interface" (blue case), this identified also as elm327 v1.5, delay 15ms, and was mutch more faster reading dtc as prior device and worked good in all ways.

So good adapter is a must!
Thinking what hapened to first one - changed baud rate or some electronic component burnded

That's how I thought it should work but it is not how my Android 0.9.3 install is acting. Do I need to make a video?

Can you provide name or link to where you purchased the scanner?
