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 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.
It works, when it does its very cool lots of feedback as well as the ability to help your car run better instantaniasly. but it doesnt like to connect all the time. for that its very frustrating, and a boot two points.
Update 8Mar22, been 3 months, still no response nor solution via this app review or email. I am a paying customer. Sorry but I must downgrade to 1*, will change for any response. Changed phone (Android 11) and reinstalled the app. Been using it for years. But now I don't see anymore .torque/dashboards folder to apply my custom saved .dash layout file. Even exporting default one didn't produce a .dash file in the same folder. In fact no more .torque folder. How to apply custom .dash file now?
Last update has removed all programs and layouts, once reopenned and rebuilt but no longer able to read transmission temp, any idea how to get it back. If I had paid for this and it was previously working fine, how to reinstall
Good.. seems to read a ton of info but the one thing I want it doesn't display. Transmission temp is available on my truck display but for some reason this app can't see it. Just says 'no data'. Doesn't seem quite right
Easy enough to use but the layout needs work. Multiple displays on the same screen overlap each other if you select anything but "small". And small is too small to read if your'e driving. Also it won't read the auto trans temperature on a Ford Ranger.
Love the app but currently the ability to import dashboards form downloaded files does not work. Which means I'm going to have to spend a whole day setting up all my daily and gauges instead of downloading one of my old files and importing it to my new device. 5 stars once they fix this
I don't know why this app has a decently low review, but I personally think that this app is by far the best value for your money compared to just about any other OBD scanner app. This app has essentially everything you want to see from an OBD scanner app. The app does require quite a bit of tinkering with but once you get it all set up, you'll be very satisfied with the results.
The best app of its kind, ruined by a dated interface. I'm happy to throw additional funds to either purchase a new layout or themes that improve the overall visual layout of the app to be more "up to date" feeling... For example apps like "Garage Pro" have a much cleaner and sleek interface but lack the flexibility and overall development. If it wasn't for that one gripe, this would easily be the top ODB app of its kind.
I'm impressed. Some of the settings could do with tweaking though, and more themes would be nice. But I paid for the full version so I didn't have any ads at the bottom. Haven't fully explored all the features, I use it for my Vauxhall Astra because there isn't no temp gauge on the dash. I like the fact that it will tell you the cars at operating temperature. And will alert you if it starts to over heat.
My main issue with torque is that it's buggy and there is no support. You can't report issues except maybe thru their community board. Ok, support is expensive and not worth it maybe from a biz standpoint but it's frustrating that you have to use the board for support and report problems. Example, what you see in 'test results' or mode 6, seems correct for my vehicle but when I send/save the report, the report is all wrong. Wrong list of tests. wrong results entirely. How can that be? Pretty frustrating if you don't know this. Connection seems buggy compared to ver 1.8. 1.10 won't run on my tablet which forced me to buy another copy for my phone. prefer the tablet but can't update the os to be compatible. still working on trying to understand live data. it's really necessary to have another scanner that you can check against otherwise it has most feature you'll find in a low end scanner such as read codes, erase codes, etc.
Great app bought the pro version because it was cheap enough, worked with the OBD2 Bluetooth scanner I bought off a popular shopping site, I used it on my Renault Kadjar and it showed me cylinder 3 misfire and camshaft position sensor which explained the Check anti pollution system warning I was getting on my dash, replaced plugs, and camshaft sensor, and then cleared the error codes, it then shows up as Historical Fault. Saved me a visit to the garage and a more costly repair.
I have been using this App for years and love it. The community chat has helped me resolve some specific issues and learn plenty along the way. It's great to see the developer investing time and providing updates. I recommend spending the small amount of money and purchasing the Pro version.
Torque Pro is a great app that I have used for years. Some readings do not match the OEM gauges so I don't know which to believe. After gas prices have hit over $5/gal I parked my 16 mpg CTS V-Sport and bought a Chevy Bolt. I found a great list of PIDs for Torque Pro and wish that Ian would add selections in the profile section to cover EVs.
This has been my go to app for more than a decade. They didn't update it for a few years and I had issues so I went with the car scanner app. Now that this app is updated I deleted the other one and use this one again. It is simple, easy options, fast, great auto connect to my cheap elm327 obd reader which I've had for over a decade as well. Could not be a hobbyist car mechanic without this.
Decent app. Could be better. Doesn't read knock or transmission temp on my car. 2017 Buick Regal. The knock plug in is no where to be found. The free version is probably enough for most people.
Used to be really good and able to set and it'd give sound warnings Incase coolant temps went too high. Relied on it but my motor overheated without any warnings! What happened with this app??
Suddenly shows 160 erroneous error codes. Been working fine for years now it keeps throwing hundreds of errors codes like catastrophic engine damage. However engine is fine no check engine light. Tested with other ODBC 2 software and zero codes returned. Using veepeek Bluetooth dongel.
Although it works better than ever now, wish it had easier two way or other things like transmission out-of-the-box. I still feel the need to buy something else for many situations.
Limited function. Can find no sub-systems that might affect my air conditioning. No other sub-sytems that are not related to emissions are shown. Correct me if I am wrong but it appears my elation at having the dongle connect has dwindled. Damn.
Doesn't always connect on its own. Sometimes I have to disconnect the OBD and reconnect it. Sometimes it won't show up on the Bluetooth list. Sometimes it just plain won't connect no matter what I do. I also keep getting notifications that there is icy conditions, it's been 80 degrees everyday for almost 3 weeks now. This bug is just a weird bug that has me yelling at it that it's too hot for icy roads. I had less issues with the free version than I have had with the paid version.
