ZUS - Save Car Expenses

I got the OBD2 for free with a special deal they were running (just paid a few dollars for shipping) and it arrived within a week. I have a Ford Focus that I have been using it with and I love that I can see my coolant temperature, speed, RPMs, and engine load in real-time. I’ve also really enjoyed how it logs my trips and that I can classify them for personal or work purposes afterwards. Another cool feature is the built-in sensor and error scanner that reports if your components are working properly. When you park your car it will automatically place a GPS location pin on their built-in map. When you go to find your car you can use the handy compass feature that will send you in the right direction. I think this app and the device have a lot of potential. I would love to be able to look back at the line graph that you see in real-time while driving. You’re able to view an exported CSV file but it’s not very useful by itself. I would also love to see a vehicle-specific shift marker feature. An efficiency and a sport mode, when the best time to shift in your car is, provided it’s manual. I know there is a pro version, but I’m not quite ready to jump into that without some more visually-appealing and useful features. Having said all that, I still highly recommend this app and the OBD2 device to anyone wanting to be more in touch with their vehicle.

I am not sure what I like best about ZUS , the charting my miles driven , or the reminder of the pay meter, or that it saves my parking location n offers step by step mapping to find your car; if you happen to forget say your at a large mall with multi layers of parking! ZUS is so smart it also keeps track of your battery health gives you a exact voltage reading as to what the battery is putting out. Oh and did I say how quick this little Charger can charge...it is like the little engine that could! I have NEVER had a automobile charger; charge my iPhone n iPad so quickly; you would have to actually see it to believe it! I was so impressed with ZUS I purchased the wife one for her car as well! One of the purchases I have made that I can actually say I got my money’s worth ,and also that it’s true to its claims! They also have other products in their line which I intend to purchase in the future such air pressure reading (thru Bluetooth ) back up camera ,health check scanner Ect . It’s been a great company speaking to their customer service ,quick shipments and just the fact you know they stand behind their product! Happy with my ZUS; I don’t leave home without it ! JT

So, i really like the product as far as easy to install and the videos quality is great. I really wish on the next update they can incorporate a Battery % next to the little battery icon to give more of an idea where the battery life is at. Also, is it possible that when i return to my vehicle that the Zus wifi connects to it without me having to go into my settings and pressing it (i do have “auto join” connected but it doesn’t seem to) Overall, im very very surprised and pleased with this product. But maybe the developers can read a few of the concerns with the app, etc and address some in a future update. This product and app has tremendous potential. And is on the brink on making me a loyal customer. As im sure others are. I also have a question regarding the blue light on the device. Does it ever turn off? I though maybe i had to be far enough so it can deactivate so i left my phone in the house and went out to the driveway to check and it was still on. I was no longer connected to zus wifi, i was on my home wifi. And it was way more than 30 seconds, more like 5 min. Im worried that this drains my battery life??

Sorry for the long review, but I loooove the ZUS. The app simple, nice to look at, easy to navigate, and easily adaptable to whatever ZUS accessories or features you choose to use. I bought a pair of the ZUS Apple charging cables and the Smart Car Charger during the IndieGoGo campaign, and I use both constantly. I do feel that the charger and/or cords out perform many others that I have tried as far as charging speed. I can charge my phone in my car from “nearly dying” to at least well above 50-60% in a 15 minute drive. I love that the app integrates so much information in such a succinct visual. Paired with the Smart Car Charger it can save your GPS location to find your car (I’ve only used this once for parking at a graduation and once for parking at a concert, but both times it worked great!) It also measures your car battery output and can log mileage. I use the later for keeping track of miles I travel for work, and it works like a charm. The best part is that you don’t even have to think about it or remember to turn anything on if you use your Bluetooth and configure some app settings. I definitely plan on purchasing more ZUS products, and am excited to see this company grow!

I am a huge fan of the car charger. It charges my devices very quickly. I WAS excited about the backup camera...until I started using it. It does not work well at all - performs its worst when around other WiFi networks that aren’t its own (70% of the time I’m backup up my car near my home). It takes way too much time for the Bluetooth to activate, the WiFi to activate and connect, and also for the camera to feed the image to my phone. The WiFi never works correctly. I can’t seem to find a use for holding my phone, waiting 2 min for the app to figure out how to speak to the Backup Camera, then start to backup my car. I have a busy life and this simply doesn’t cut it. I had high hopes. Installation was super simple. But what I installed is close to worthless at this point. And while the WiFi is connected to the camera...it takes a while for the camera to disconnect, causing me to turn off my phone’s WiFi antenna in order to have any access to the internet.
