LogWorks App Reviews

for some reason the app wont launch properly on my ipod touch(1st gen running 3.1.4) i can download it and intalls fine but when i try to open the program it will just show the "innovative motorsports" logo and automatically close.....

App worked well until latest update. Now it crashes on opening. DONT UPDATE!!!

I liked this app before, but the ability to view logs graphically us killer. I just discovered I can open my LM-2 logs from old emails! Nice update.

The app is useless without the OT-2, and the OT-2 is a finicky piece of trash. It rarely connected to the three PCMs that I tried, and even when it did connect the wifi would drop out before it could transfer more that two frames of data. Swing and a miss, Innovate. Im glad I was able to return it.

On the next update, can there be an option to have analogue gauges instead of the little lights. It would also be nice if the program could display up to 6 gauges in landscape mode.

I was very eager to recieve my OT-2. After a week of use I am a bit disapponted with the speed of the datalogger, I hope that Innovative Motorsports will resolve this issue. In addition I have found that the documentation material is lacking. I have found the other funtions to be very useful and accurate. Please improve this app. Update 1/13/11 after updating software opens to the innovative motorsports logo then closes. This is very disapointing as I have waited a long time for a update and now I have nothing. I use this app daily. Glad to see this app is improving, keep up the good work!

nice, a couple annoying popups saying hardware not detected like when viewing datalog runs, etc.

LogWorks works excellently with my OT-2, but if you want to log your data and analyze it later you need Windows. This is because the log file needs to be converted in LogWorks desktop software, and this software is Windows only. There is no OS X or Linux support. You can view graphs of data in the app itself, but you cannot zoom in and out; the graph looks pretty, but you cant see enough detail to meaningfully analyze it. The only gauge screen has three gauges and while you can select which sensors to show, the layout is not configurable. While driving, only one of the gauges is large enough to be useful. Other parts of the app are smooth and polished, and poll rate is fine. Innovate Motorsports needs to AT LEAST release a simple program for OS X that can convert its proprietary logfile into Excel or CSV, or even better, let the LogWorks app output these formats as do some of its competitors. LogWorks is an excellent app if you are a Windows user or if you just want to view real-time data and not analyze your data later. OS X and Linux users need not apply, as no software exists for those platforms. Since this limitation wasnt obviously stated in the marketting data, I rate this app three stars. If it could export log data to Excel or CSV itd earn five stars.

Used this to check and clear codes on my bmw 328ci, chevy blazer, and Nissan sentra. Im using it as a gauge on my 2011 Hyundai genesis 2.0t and it works well enough. The gauge layout needs to be customizable because although you can have three only the large tach is usable (the other two are too small).

Does the job in an adequate fashion. However, it would be better if the gauges could be set to different units of measurement.

Better off with pocket dyno lite but it is still exceptable

I use the Logworks app along with the Innovate OT-2 to clear check engine lights and log engine parameters not shown on my gauges. For $179 bucks total, the functionality is a bargain.

This review pertains to Logworks functionality in a 2004 Chrysler 300M. The iPhone App keeps triggering P1681, P1684 and other codes regardless of which module Im using: Dyno, Economy, LogWorks, DTCs, OT-2. The codes are generated even when there is nothing wrong with my car. Trying to clear out codes is a mystery and a frustration. Simply clicking "Clear All" does not really clear all the codes. Engine light comes on and stays on despite repeated attempts to "Clear All." The 300M OBD also generate P1681 and other codes. My auto-mechanic confirmed that there is nothing wrong with my car, its OBD system, or hardware interface. All he did was clear out the codes for me and charged me $150. Everything checks outs without a single problem. Furthermore, two other mechanics have strongly suggested that I do not use Logworks at all. Their shops have gotten similar complaints and feedback from other Logworks users. So the bottom line is that Logworks has now cost me double the price and, according to professional advice, I shouldnt use it at all. Outrageous! Should I forward the bill to Innovate Motorsports? This is obviously an issue that Innovate Motorsports should research, investigate and solve. Ive read and re-read the manual, but it is seriously lacking. I have only ONE CHANNEL configured, which is the minimum and far below the proclaimed capabilities. WiFi connection is good. All LEDs conform to the expected states mentioned in the manual. If I go by the manual, there is nothing wrong with either the WiFi unit, or the App. There is no mention of the specific problem I, and apparently many others, are experiencing. It would be great if the App included an anonymous auto-feedback and diagnostics report that the programmers could review for debugging and enhancing the App. I strongly suspect that the 4 and 5-start reviewers of this product are highly biased. Perhaps they are affiliates, family or even employees of Innovate Motorsports. As it stands, I am highly dissatisfied with the performance of this product, as it has cost me more than $300!

This is a great tool and works great on my Megane RS. When will Logworks be available on the IPad? With the larger screen more gauges could be displayed.

Its time for an update. We bought the hardware and we need product support. More gauge personalization options. Landscape mode and color schemes. Otherwise everything works great

How do i conect it to the ecu

More than a year since there was an update. We invested in your hardware now its time to step up and fix the bugs everyone complains about in the forums.

I really enjoy this product but would really prefer if there was iPad support for this. Also, adding the ability to change the orientation of the gauges with the rotation of the iDevice would be fantastic. Please add these features!

Gauge layout and options are generic and small. Why waste so much screen space? Clunky UI. Communication w/ OT2 device not always established. Update might make it worthwhile. Should have opted for the PLX Kiwi. I expected more from a company like innovate, nice try, now make it better!

Im looking to use an iPad as a gauge pod. I want rpm, speedo, and fuel level displayed with alarms for temp and oil. Make that happen on an iPad and I will give you money and 5 stars innovate.
