Is it just me, or is Torque Pro really difficult to understand and use?

    Also, does it tell me what the maintenance light means?

    Torque Pro app is so overwhelming for me to try to understand it.

    Have you created your own custom dials and gauges?

    On an Android smartphone, where the pages seem to have no boundaries and have endless choices... still bit confusing.

    All in all, I think I wanted to know whether there's an app for OBDII with an interface that's easier to understand.

    Have you tried Hybrid Assistant and Dr. Prius? I find Torque Pro confusing as well.

    Yeah, I downloaded Dr. Prius. But that's just for testing battery, right?
