Default Torque app, how good is it??

Just downloaded the torque app and am currently waiting for the bluetooth dongle to arrive. just wondered what people thoughts are on it in regards to accuracy ect. car hasnt been mapped or dynoed so only have the factory standard specs to go on and its now 10 years old. just wondered whether the apps going to give me a pretty good idea.
cheers Ross

A lot will depend on the bluetooth adaptor in terms of accurate information. Wired connections send the data a lot faster so are more accurate than bluetooth, but the the bluetooth ones can vary from device to device. You'll also find that the more sensors that you are recording means that the results are less accurate.

What I'm trying to say is that torque can be completely accurate, but it depends on what is sending it information and how much is being sent as to how accurate it can actually show the information.
