Comments on TorqueScan (Torque OBD Plugin) for Android

★★★★★ Zack · Jul 6, 2021
Works great, and I think a lot of people leaving bad reviews are idiots and impatient people who never let the scan complete. Ignore the haters and idiots this works great. I use torque pro and hp tuners to confirm my readings. Very impressive and accurate. Thank you, Ian Hawkins
★★★★★ Kunal Vaidya · May 26, 2020
Looks like the plugin is not compatible with Android 10
★★★★★ Billy Johnson · Jan 14, 2024
Excellent results. Make sure you have a top quality adapter. If you have a good adapter and device phone tablet or computer, and you took the time to set up the profile and adapter properly it should work 100% of the time. I have used it more than my big Snap on scanner and with a top-notch adapter you can reprogram extra PIDs and read overall efficiency. Don't buy a tiny adapter 2 1/2" buy the longer 3" to 3 1/2" version because they will have the biggest microcontroller that reads all cars OBD2
★★★★★ John Nolan · Sep 3, 2020
My phone's screen is small, and I wish I had a large tablet or a laptop with Bluetooth because I would love to see the meters and graphs better.
★☆☆☆☆ Nicholas Freedman · Mar 3, 2022
Doesn't work. I paid for Torque Pro to load custom PIDs and use this scanner plugin. But it's outdated and doesn't work with modern android. It takes some gall to sell something that doesn't work. I hope the dev chokes on the $5 he stole from me. Reply to dev: Dev is a liar. My android 11 reports this will not work correctly because it is designed for an older version of android. And it doesn't work--permissions, the interface and API calls are all a decade out of date and will not work with a modern device.
★☆☆☆☆ Bro Leary · Feb 24, 2020
Hands down the most useless thing I've ever downloaded (even more useless than the air horn app!) My poor car idled for 3.5 hours while this app sent literally every possible PID to the ECU and checked for a response. When it was done, I tried to share the results via Google Drive. Upload failed. Alternatively I tried to email the results to myself. Emails default to the developer and guess what? "Unable to attach file" error! YOU CAN NOT SAVE THE RESULTS! I hope you can read and remember raw HEX data because you surely will not be able to save your results! Also, if you tap your phone screen while it is scanning, it will cancel the scan. Pros: I used this app before you did, so now you don't have to waste your time. Cons: No uninstall option. No possible way to locally save your results. No possible way to share your results on the internet. Takes over 3 hours to probe every possible extended PID, but this will depend on your device and OBD adapter capabilities, too. Absolutely no readily identifiable use for this app. Touching your phone will cancel and re-start your 3+ hour wait time. Doesn't offer a "0" stars rating option.

Getting can shaft sensor error when a prober scan tool reveals cam chains error = Cam chains replacement. Very inaccurate + f up Bluetooth connectivity removed problem solved
