I've been using Torque for many years now, and there's really only one thing I dislike that really irritates me. Fairly regularly the app will reset itself and it will revert to the default display settings, which means you have to customize the display layout again. Apparently it's not due to updates or anything (since Torque was last updated in 2018) and it does this on different phones. REALLY ANNOYING.

Good for a dashboard, especially for later-model vehicles. I uninstalled this app, because I bought the paid version. The $5 is well worth it. The free app is just a taste. You have two hours to try the paid version to request an easy refund, so buy it when you have time to hook up to your vehicle, and maybe even go for a drive while logging data. I'm using the OBDLink MX+ as an interface and it works great. It shows ads, but they're at the bottom and not really intrusive. Could be worse.

Torque Lite recognized my "OBD KEY" Bluetooth adapter without issue. It allowed me to diagnose a DTC on my wife's car, and clear it. You must enable storage permissions for must functions to run, which is understandable. Why the app needs phone permissions is unknown, but I disabled it and WiFi. Bottom line, my Bluetooth OBDII adapter from 2011 worked as advertised. Now, I want to try out some of the "normal" features, and maybe pickup the paid version.

Torque Lite used to work fine with my cheap, eBay OBDII reader. Any car, different phones. Clunky UI, but it worked. Just started the app after not using it for a few months, and got a splash screen about the app being "updated." Now, it will not "connect to the ECU." The app no longer connects via Bluetooth. Any car I've tried... VW, Ford, Mitsubishi. Useless.

It mostly works. But it's also four years outdated and the interface is a holdover from the dawn of android. Very difficult to use this app, ten years out of date, on a modern phone. It produced some of the info I needed from my vehicle. It wants me to buy the pro version for the info I really need but I'll try to find an alternative that isn't older than the dinosaurs. Updated review: almost impossible to use with a modern phone, even exiting the app is difficult. Left files all over my phone. Edited
