Looks like the boys at Forscan have released a version for IOS.

It's about time, I wonder how it works as compared to torq app on android, which I curently have. There are no reviews on it yet, but hopefully someone can chime in and give us a comparison based on the torque app.

I have been using it on and off (iPad), but I am in search of a good wireless OBD adapter to go with.  The OBDLink WiFi, in contrast to the BT, has proven to be a non-starter.  The connection is very buggy.

I have been using an isaddle wifi obd2 connector from Amazon successfully with Engine Link app on my iPhone and will try Forscan lite and post back on how it works.

I can say that Engine Link has allowed me to make a few custom PIDs as discovered for the Torque app.  So far transmission temp works and I will know if tire pressure works as soon as I put the summers back on.

Interesting, I have the Bluetooth version for my android and it works pretty decent. I guess we will need to find something else for iPhone.

Got this Wifi adapter yesterday from Amazon, $17 shipped.  Twice the size of the OBDLink Wifi, but works without a hitch so far, lots of bright flashing lights

Logged first Forscan Lite run on iPad on the Edge today, no hiccups.  Did have to resave the CSV as a TXT file though, so I could pull it into Excel as an import, with a semicolon demarcator.  Looking forward to having fun with it, let's see how long it lasts!

Looks like the same WiFi adapter I'm using with a different sticker.  Has been working fine with my iPhone 5c to use both Engine Link and Forscan.  I just need to find more time to play and log to see what they can do.

Not sure if adapter reads can bus data as I haven't gotten tire pressure to register with Engine Link.

Haven't seen any mention of CANbus support on the website, but have yet to look at the minidisc the adapter came with.
