OBDII Scan tools: Iphone vs Innova Scantool
I have been wanting to get some sort of scan tool for a while now however I am not sure which route to take. From those that have experience with both, is it worth getting a dedicated unit or are the smart phone apps just functional?
I am looking at an external tool such as:
Innova Scantool
The program Dash command for Iphone also looks quite good.
Dash Command
What is the general consensus? I am not so much looking for a "toy" as much as something that is actually going to help me. The interface on the phone app is obviously better however I need function to solve actual problems, should they arrise.

Some people have had problems with certain BT dongles such as the ELM327's. That said, a lot of people also haven't had problems. Consensus really doesn't mean much. You need to select the solution that seems to suit you best -- same as any other "Which is best?" question on any topic.

199.00?
Assuming DashCommand is similar to the Torque App (Andriod); I think this is a no brainer. FYI (can't get to the app store from work), Torque was supposed to be working on an IOS version of their App.
Total cost will be under 50$, offer far more tools, and far more practical imo.
Here's another thread with similar questions and comments.
