Default What app to use with OBD2 sensor?

Hey guys,

I know Android use an app called Torque, but what is the Apple equivalent? Any help is appreciated, I just got the OBD2 device and I'm excited to use it.

DashCommand works well with iPhone. I'm sure there are others also.

I've tried using torque and RR Racing was not very pleased with the logging rate. I reduced them to .01 seconds and still had some sort of refresh anomaly. I've also used dash command and cannot seem to find where the logs are stored?? Press start logging and stop logging and nothing seems to happen. It is good at capturing max values thought... Wish they made a simple app for Novice loggers like myself and get good info to send, sorry i couldn't help OP

Thanks guys, I will look into the apps, and in terms of the data logging, I won't really be doing that, the app is more for having real time data and what not.

It might be your adapter or your settings. Do not log more than what you need. Do not log MPG or have a MPG dial while logging; to calculate MPG the app uses a lot of sensors that slow down your logging rate. You can check your adapter PIDs read speed by clicking the adapter status.

Torque Pro is amazing, you can also add custom PIDs. We should be able to add the knock feedback and the ignition timing learn value PIDs which is what Rafi wants to see but I need some help on that since I am not a control/software engineer.

It'd be great if someone could do this.
