Default Anyone using OBD2 apps for monitoring

Morning all.
so was looking at getting the ecutek connect thing for monitoring but a very respected mapper has said not to bother and to get an app and dongle connector that does same thing for fraction of cost.
is anybody using any and if so which ones.
was thinking could be handy to just plug in now and again and connect and stick phone in holder or iPad and see temps / pressure / ratios etc.

Bought this for one of my JDM cars found it remarkably good. Fits without any chopping or cutting. You may need an ISO adapter can't remember.

You don't use the phone. Install stereo plug KKL cable into OBD port and the other end into the USB port on the stereo there's four. Download the app onto the stereo via wifi job done
