Vehicle logging apps

Jbwcfp · 05-18-2017, 10:03 PM

Is anyone using a vehicle logging app to keep track of everything related to your car? I found a number of them on tha App Store, but was looking for a recommendation.

I use Torque but it is android specific. There are lots of add-ons too to help you customize the functionality, but the base app is very good IMO. I bought an inexpensive Bluetooth OBD2 plug in adapter and it's very stealthy. However, I think it uses battery power even when the car is off.

I was using Dashcommand but found that my OBD2 adapter was causing chassis stabilization malfunction error messages.

I use Carly for my OBD2, what I'm looking for is just an app to keep track of service, repairs, etc.

Have the BlueDriver OBDII - supports iOS and Android - pricier than some but rock solid and very easy to use.

Can you print past service records from this app? I see where defenivedriving.org lists this app in its top 14. If I can print out records I will give it a try.

Honestly not sure, but I believe there is a way to export the data to Excel.
