HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (4.8 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Missing features25%

★★★★★ When I did that with Apple my refund was denied and there's no way to appeal it after the first appeal even though the app developer says that it should be eligible for refund.
★★★★★ Get Car Scanner Pro instead for 8 bucks, an engineer's dream app that is way more capable and missing all the pay walls.

★★★★★ Being able to monitor your car all through car play while having a fully customized interface and map is awesome!
★★★★★ Been beta testing the 5.0 for a short time and it's by far the best OBD/Carplay integration yet!!
★★★★★ It's such an awesome interface and makes it easy to log trips.
Easy to use10%

2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The built-in feedback submission capabilities makes it super easy to make suggestions and is so much better than sending an email out into the void and hoping something gets fixed one day.

Useful, it helps10%

★★★★★ And the amount of feedback they take and put into the app makes it a much more useful tool!
★★★★★ It's a shame that widgets aren't built into CarPlay by default because they really are incredibly useful and makes CarPlay a lot more unique to each person and less bland.
Fun, addictive10%

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026
What I needed

I tried many apps and nothing compares to this, you can track your OBD2 stats right on the map so I don’t have to switch between apps, the navigation is great specially the satellite view which is great since the use Apples Maps. And the developer is very active in making this better plus any question you have he’s there to answer.

★★★★★Oct 9, 2026
Good but not great anymore

Pelican is a good stats and travel app for your vehicle, but sadly it’s being out lapped by the competition. Still no official support for my vehicle, lacking in features, and more expensive. I used to recommend this app but can’t anymore. Hope it gets some serious love from the developers.

★★★★★Oct 9, 2026
Such A Great App!

I have had the best experience using this app! It lets me see how my vehicle is performing in a way you can’t without connecting to the OBD port. Plus, you can see your trips and get insights about them, which is a big bonus. The developer is the only developer that I have worked with who is always there to help! No matter the issue, they are there to help. And the amount of feedback they take and put into the app makes it a much more useful tool!

★★★★★Oct 4, 2026
Outstanding

A great application with tremendous potential and a great development team behind it that actually listens to customer feedback. Check it out it’s only going to get better!

★★★★★Oct 1, 2026
Something happened with this most recent update

Used this app daily since January 2026 and have had no problems until the week of September 26. This major update wiped all my widgets and will no longer connect/read data with the Vgate iCar Pro 2S I bought specifically to use with this app in January. Zero problems with it until recently. This actually almost made me buy a new scanner, but no other scanning apps have any issues. I couldn’t tell if it was my new 18 pro or ios27 or the app or the scanner, but since no other apps are having issues I’m landing on it being this app. I was disappointed after investigating further on GitHub that there’s Claude involved in this project. Not sure when that was added but I’m sure isn’t helping. There’s nothing wrong with using Claude but even paying for Pelican plus and getting to my age, I’m tired of tinkering with stuff. I just want it to work like it did for 9 months without issue. So, I’m uninstalling and canceling my subscription until it “just works”. Great app otherwise I just wish the widgets and connection to my scanner stayed

★★★★★Oct 1, 2026
Powerful and intuitive, straightforward but extremely capable

Note: you’ll need an OBD2 scanner to get the vast majority of features from this app. It’s a worthwhile investment and they’re pretty cheap nowadays. The developer’s website has a great list of options. If you don’t have a scanner and leave a poor review that’s completely on you for failing basic reading comprehension and no sympathy will be given. This app is essentially the platonic ideal of what a CarPlay app could be. The navigation capabilities are top notch, and the integration with OpenStreetMaps makes me feel good about contributing corrections or new information. I especially appreciate the new surveillance overlay that shows speed/ALPR cameras, right on the app. New features keep coming out that I didn’t know I’d love (I wouldn’t have ever thought of The Fog but now I can’t go without it!) without making the app’s settings busy or confusing. I’ve never spent a chunk of money on a lifetime premium license before but have done so here and am happy to support the developer and I consider it money well spent. The built-in feedback submission capabilities makes it super easy to make suggestions and is so much better than sending an email out into the void and hoping something gets fixed one day. The developer is responsive to an almost unhealthy degree and I hope they have a sustainable work/life balance!
