Default obd2 android/iphone app

Has anyone been using the torque obd2 app that uses a Bluetooth obd adapter to get real time information from your engine. I haven't used it yet was seeing if it works with our trucks. Mine is a 97 so I know I have obd 2 I just haven't bought an aeapter an was gonna see if its worth it. Sounds like a pretty cool app.

I thought I had seen a few members mention something about it, but couldn't remember who and what kinda results they had seen.

I have it. It's an android only app. I don't think there is one for apple, unless you planning on paying something like $150. I know that because my friend is trying to find one for his iPhone.

As for the torque, I have the free version now and I like it. Not sure if there is different adapters but I have an ELM327. I like having, it seems to take some playing with to get it to connect but after its connected.
I keep it in my console and its nice and handy. I got a CEL one day pulled over and within 5 mins I knew the code, what it meant, possible causes, and possible fixes.

I don't have a direct link, I bought it off amazon, but I don't remember which seller.
Here is a link to an amazon search for it though
