Bluetooth is better because you can access the internet while talking to your car.
With Wifi you are cut off from the internet until you unplug the dongle.
Apple devices only support Bluetooth 4.0 or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), most of the Bluetooth dongles use older Bluetooth technologies.
Android on the other hand supports the older Bluetooth and can work these Bluetooth dongles.
There are a few BLE Bluetooth dongles but we have not developed for them yet.
Our goal for now is to support the cheap WiFi devices.
If there is a particular BLE device that you want us to support, then let us know.
If we find a BLE device on the market which is reliable and reasonably priced, we will add support for it.

Why does ezOBD currently suck?
We initially shipped ezOBD as a minimum viable product which means the product does what it claims but there are issues.
These issues include usability, lack of features, and reliability.
We highly value any feedback and those who submit feedback may get personal correspondence from our chief developer.
For comments go to home page and click on “we’re listening”.
Unless we get feedback, we are shooting in the dark as for what features are lacking, usability issues, and bugs.
Our highest priority is to build a strong community for customers to contribute to making ezOBD the best product possible.
Once the community decides on diretion of the product, we will put more time in reliability and usablility.
