They are fully capable of making the process of cancelling easy like many others do. Instead they require you dig through old emails that you may not even have anymore for an invoice and then email them. This is deliberate and in bad faith. Respectable companies make it as simple to cancel as they do to subscribe.

Was a subscriber for 2 years. This app just feels like a scam. Maybe it was great once. Older reviews talk about how great it was. But now the subscription model cost is too high when you can buy other scan tools for the same price. And those are one time cost . Not yearly. I had to email them a request with a copy of my original invoice in order to stop the auto renewal. No way to do it online. Or to remove any payment or personal information.

Used to be a great resource. They updated it and now I cant even select the year of my car. Not sure why this company crapped the bed. Usually these things get better. But they have eliminated certain years for all models, and it has less options. I was truly happy to pay the $120 a year for this originally. Now it's truly worthless.
