Best OBDII android app?

I have one of the Bluetooth dongles to plug in to my port but what app should I download?

My check engine light is currently on I'd like to be able to read the code and reset the code using just my phone as a matter of convenience over buying an actual scan tool

Torque.

Free version if you're just checking the basics. It's worth the money to upgrade if you want to do more complex diagnostics and datalogging. I've had it for years.

I just bought the BlueDriver scanner.

Seems to work pretty well.

This is what I use.

I bought the full version too. No regrets.

Torque Pro. Worth every penny (and its not too many pennies anyway.)

Holy hell is it only $5 now for the Pro? Shit I think I paid like $15 or $20 for it back in the day. I'd buy the pro without even thinking twice.

It was $5 when I bought it a few years ago, it works pretty well with my cheapo Amazon Bluetooth adapter.

+1 on Torque Pro

I used it's logging and graphing features to diagnose a bad upstream oxygen sensor that was damaged by a failing fuel injector. $5 well spent.

Torque Pro without a doubt. Had it now for 6 years or so. Great on a trip for it's instant readouts on your phone

I think I got Torque Pro in the 2009 or 2010 timeframe. I remember getting it to check on some sensors in the BMW 335D I was leasing at the time for shits and giggles. From 1998-2002 I owned my own mobile engine diagnostics business as a side job. What I paid for that ELM327 bluetooth dongle and the Torque pro app was about 1/10th of what I paid for even my first generic OBDII reader in the late 1990's that didn't do anything realtime and had about 1/100th the functionality as this app and dongle.

+1 for Torque Pro.

Can log trips, also logs 0-60,0-100 if using for a performance vehicle. Can also show RPMs on the app as well.

I use Torque Pro.

Cool stuff.

Do not even try free Torque, just go straight to Pro. You'll be blown away by how much functionality a few bucks gets you.

Great to have info like trans temp and real time MPG and fuel trims on vehicles as old as 1996. I use it to watch the trans on my old Explorer when towing, I can see what the torque converter is doing, see fluid temp, etc.
