Default iPhone Scanner Tool App
Has anyone used a scanner app for iOS? Looking for something similar to the torque app that Android has.

Basically the same thing as a handheld scanner. You can read parameters within the engine (I'm most interested in short and long term fuel trims) and do diagnostics. I saw some in the App Store but was trying to get a feel from someone that has used it. You have to buy a wireless adapter that plugs into your obd2 port and the phone wirelessly connects to it

I use EngineLink on IOS, you need to get a wifi obd2 scanner, they're cheap on amazon. Wifi tho, not BT. BT won't work on IOS.

Nonsense. I use a Lemur BlueDriver for all my OBD-II scanning. BT works just fine on iPhones.
