    Three running Gen 2s in the family, I wanted to test a friend's car and the app said no. It wanted me to buy a pro version. Is there a way to delete a VIN from the tested list so I can add a new one?

    Just have the friend download the app you mean they don't have it weird. Lot of people that's why they bought the car so they can have an app on their phone some people think before they know they'll be able to look at their cars information and business kind of like a Tesla these are the really unknowledgeable types than when they get the car and figure out what it's not that's that. You know the one's.

    @jacktheripper can probably say what the best approach would be there.

    The friend has no auto knowledge, we were talking about the car and they asked if I would test their battery for them. Did some torque pro numbers but wanted to do the life test. I just wanted to know if there is a way to delete a VIN from my app for this situation and maybe others in the future

    I wonder if I could just use my other email account usually everything is tied to that then I could have two or three more cars or what have you seems reasonable I guess.

    My personal policy on free SW that has a low price paid upgrade is: If you are a continuing user of the app, pay the $20. I support programmers that provide me useful tools.
