After paying for this, I can almost never get it to connect to my Bluetooth adapter, without at least a dozen attempts. Sometimes it won't connect at all. I just give up. The free app I downloaded from another company with less features connects first time every time. The free app connects when I open it, if I'm not already connected to the adapter.
Reviews for Torque Pro (OBD 2 & Car)
With the right OBDII device, it's great! I've used this app for about 6 years and loved it. My original device died (thanks Arizona heat)and I replaced it with an "Amazon Recommend" one. That was a mistake as I started all sorts of issues getting it connected, reading codes, pulling live data, etc. Once I went back to a quality device everything clicked and has been great. Do yourself a favor and pair this to a quality product.
I love it. Evertime someone gets in my truck they see I have my phone mounted up on my dash and that it's showing live information about my engine they are blown away. I use the mpg I stand and average dials, the load % dial, the throttle position, the timing advance, the torque, the horsepower, and the fuel trim dials on my home screen: 3 different screens of coarse. And then on another screen I'll have the complete report shown. Get the pro, it's so much better than the free version.
Been using the app for years and I love it. But after the android update about a year ago, I've had issues with the recorded trip logs. All aspects work except for the boost reading. On the map, half of the trip is just black. Not color coded like it should be. When I zoom in, it still displays the correct values but just not the correct color. No other type of value (speed, rpm, temp, etc) has this issue.
Very Basic scanner with ability to show icons gauges of some parameters. Extra features via plug-ins cost $5.99 extra for each car brands plugin. I went to pay and download the plugin for enhanced Toyota brand cars but the Google play store said it is "...not available for this device!" a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 with latest Android update. what a waste of my time, effort and money.
Just amazing, nothing else to say. For the price to be able to read anyone's red light in a matter of seconds is unparalleled. It's simply a must have if you're trying to diagnose an issue with your car, or want all the information a mechanic would have. I've used it around 10 times on 6 different cars, and being able to know the reason your car has a red light, without having to go to a mechanic is a amazing. Someone stole my obd reader out of my car so can't use it anymore but the app is 10/10
I use this app every time I get in my car. It's set up to running background anyway, so it's nice to have real time information and data logging as well as GPS and everything. It's a great scan tool, work for every car that I've put it on. The only complaint that I have is that the plugins are old and there are no plans to update them for certain vehicles, so that would be nice as well as an actual dashboard instead of a set of gauges to set up.
I have been using this app for a number of years on Samsung phones and it works great even with the cheap chinesium OBD-II bluetooth scanner from Amazon. I know from doing investigations into the different models of readers that some of them don't work very well and that you have to make sure you get one with a legitimate chipset or it will be slower than the more expensive models. I have tested this with 3 different readers and never had issues with the app itself.
Update: Bought a used KIA. The KIA plugin advises it is not supported by the latest version of Android. Need a workaround, please! Excellent application! Very happy with the data this app can track, the interface is easy to use, the multiple pages allow for me to monitor different sets of data for different driving activities, all in all a very solid product.
From great to nah in 2.9 seconds. Used to be a great, now it doesn't work. It won't connect to OBD2 scanner anymore. Tried it on different cars thinking that maybe my old scanner died and nothing. Got a new scanner and wouldn't connect to it either. I decided to try a different app and everything worked on the other app. What are you doing? This was a great app and you let it fall. Pick it up and make it great again. Note 10+
