**PLEASE NOTE!** Any reports of hanging or freezing after quitting the app is due to a bug in the HTC Evo 4G and Galaxy Tab, this can be triggered by using the Pandora/Vlingo/Aldiko bluetooth enabled apps. Disabling Pandoras new bluetooth settings fixes the problem, but HTC/Samsung need to release a fix. Please contact their support and encourage them to fix, Thanks!
The pro version supports USB ELM adapters which are use ‘Prolific’ or ‘FTDI’ chips
* Update: A freeze/hang workaround has been found after a great amount of effort and is available in the full version in the General Preferences settings!
Torque user reviews :
works every time. still using 14yr old ebay bluetooth obd2 adapter. have used several different phones with every version of Android since 2010. the only issue i’ve ever had just came up with the latest Android 12 OS. had issue with app not saving my display layout when exiting the app. uninstalled and reinstalled to reactivate permissions, and manually added a .torque folder to sd card- that worked!!! reads DTCs fine and works to clear DTCs in every vehicle i’ve tried it on since 2010.
This app WAS amazing. I’m not sure if Android updates have broken it. It just says “checking model. . . ” And never connects. Before it worked perfectly. Now I get a message “this app built for a previous version of Android”. I guess it’s google playing games with how they “empower us to give them their data” with a million toggles that are all weasel-worded to let them track my every move and scan my surroundings family and friends. Sad. But I can’t say it’s the developer’s fault.
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 But it’s also four years outdated and the interface is a holdover from the dawn of android. Very difficult to use this app, ten years out of date, on a modern phone.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.
I like it but have to mark it down for two reasons: [1] written for an older version of Android; and [2] can’t even list themes available for download. [1] An update wouldn’t hurt too much, would it fellas? [2] I really want to use or adapt a theme for my purposes, to test it on my phone and then apply it to the Pro version running in my car. The basic supplied theme, while functional, is not optimally attractive.
Pretty good so far just got a bluetooth adapter to use this with and it was a bit confusing with the dials and display. I do think a standard setup should be used to give users an example of what they could do with the app. But it is the free version. I didn’t see a tutorial “may have missed it” I like it enough to buy the paid version after I test it for a few days.
Love using the app. Works on many vehicles and reads most systems. Was thinking about purchasing pro, but it didn’t look like it had the dials, gauges, or widgets for transmission temperature either. Sincerely wish to be advised if a version able to; save previous trips based on vehicle and saved to device, readings of all other sensors, including airbag and anti-lock codes. (I do know that pre-OBD2 anti-lock were just grounding the wire next to the e-brake, which changed with the OBD2.
