Preferred IOS OBD2 phone app?

[AZjeff]

Switching from Android to IOS and need to replace the apps I use. I've been using Torque to see and clear codes, watch functions etc. , just simple things. If anyone is using an app that works better or has more I'd like to hear about it. Thanks

OBD Fusion.

Thanks. What do you like about it better than the free ones like Torque?

I'll second OBD Fusion. I find it much easier to create custom PIDs in OBD Fusion than in Torque.

As for apps, there are probably manufacture specific apps, for you GM and Mopar, but i like Forscan and VCDS. I also use the ODB link app on non ford and volkswagen (note VCDS requires a ROSS Tech adapter

I remember or thought for the longest time that Apple blocked access over Bluetooth for apps like this. I have always kept an old Android device around for OBDII scanning.

Maybe once upon a time but Torque Car Pro, BlueDriver, and Car Scanner ELM OBD2 work great on Iphone.

Going to have to give Torque a try with my adapter. I have "owned" the Pro version for Android for years. Will look at the other too.

OBDLink MX+ and Car Scanner Pro.

MX+ is a newer model that supports iOS.

I have some older BAFX ones that only work on WiFi with IOS. It was having conflicts on trips with Waze and Pandora and constantly resetting or reconnecting. I bought the VeePeak based on others that said it was good. I have taken multiple trips now with it and no issues. Also does all the normal trouble codes, monitors for emission testing etc. It's also much smaller than my old BAFX and I was concerned about snapping it when she uses parking brake. OBD Fusion was the best rated app at the time I got it and does both wifi and bluetooth.

Yes but MX+ does as does the old wi fi version (its red)

BlueDriver has worked great for me on my iPhone and Ford, Toyota, Chevy, GMC, Cadillac...

Good luck with your choice

I use iOBD2. It works ok. Join to the device using Wi-Fi, then open the app and let it connect. But if you’re monitoring data for a while while driving it’ll disconnect and you have to unplug from the OBD2 port, close the app, plug it back in, then reopen the app. At least for me.
