Leaf Spy
Once you have the Lite version running and telling you about your battery you can then purchase either the full version "Leaf Spy" or the more advanced version "Leaf Spy Pro".
The Leaf Spy application allows anyone with a Nissan Leaf electric vehicle, Android device with Bluetooth and an ELM327 OBDII Bluetooth adapter the ability to monitor their battery and other vehicle information normally visible only to the dealer.
Due to a recent cost reduction (and feature reduction) many of the cheap ELM327 OBDII Bluetooth adapters from Asia no longer work with the Leaf and report themselves to be version 2.1. The only one currently recommended is the Bluetooth Konnwei KW902 which still supports all the needed ELM commands to communicate with the Leaf.

This app saved me a big trouble of buying a dealer approved car with 9 battery bars and 70 miles range on GOM. In real life, SOH 66%, 13kWh left and estimated range 45miles.
Could not use despite checking my adapter worked in Leafspy Lite first - it seems there is no option for Bluetooth 4 LE even though it is included in Lite version. Have requested refund and will repurchase if this is resolved.
Had to refund. The Lite version works fine so I wanted to upgrade. But the pro version only works if you can pair with your OBD reader, and I can't.
Did not find it significantly more useful than Leafspy lite, and not as useful as LeafSpy Pro so might as well pay for the full version if you're going to pay.
disconnects from bluetooth, does not show car serial number, will not allow two apps to use bluetooth.
The lite version works but no way to connect to ble in paid version
Not working on androld 9
Doesn't work with pixel 3a
Great app for checking battery apps. But why has this not been updated to show tyres pressures for UK cars (Pro version has been updated but not this version)
Is it possible to update this version to support the 30kWh Leaf?
This is all the information that Nissan SHOULD have on the cars screen.
The only way to really know your leaf!
I love this app, it really gave me a good idea about the state of health of my Leafs battery. The only problem I have is when you switch the temperature to centigrade, it also sets the distance units to kilometers. Please allow us to change temperature and distance units independently and the app will be perfect. Otherwise I'm very happy with it, definitely worth the money.
Using it with a Galaxy Nexus phone and ELM327 scanner from BAFX. To get it to work I had to switch settings in the app to look for the device on Port 16 rather than the default Port 1.
It would not synch even though the lite version worked fine. I got a refund.
Not a great app. All the information is there, and no doubt it is some achievement to extract it. But the interface is absoutely horrible, like something out of Windows 3.1. Nothing is intuitive. Driving with it on is a pain because it switches between night and day mode seemingly randomly. All of the useful information is obfusticated with lots of other information. All this might be forgivable if the app cost a few quid but for the price charged the UI should be a lot better.
