Default Engine Link - OBDII monitoring app for iPhone, who's using it? Display trans temp?

I installed a tru cool 40k, and along with long tubes and a new stall, I would like to monitor my trans temps without a cluster swap or an added gauge.

These apps like torque seem to be worth the 5 bucks for download and $12 for the obd tool.

Anyone using the engine link app? What all does it display and of monitor?
I can't find much info on it, mostly Info about torque for android.


Let me know what you guys have and what you think about it!

Amazon, eBay.
They are actually closer to $20 if you have an iPhone because it needs the wifi tool. Not the cheaper Bluetooth

I'm also looking at the dash command app. Wondering which is better/has more features. Dash command or engine link.

Dash command seems that you have to purchase extra PID's where as engine link will support anything your vehicle has a sensor for. At least that's what I'm gathering

Have used this app and the LELink adapter from ebay for a while. Really like them.
