i've noticed a severe lack of discussioni regarding this 2 apps for Android devices.

why not to share experiences and other ideas as they're now an interesting combo with a huge potential ?

I bought one of the iBus modules and purchased the iBus App. Put it all in when replacing a head unit and installing a digital dash about a year ago. I found that the iBus app didn't really provide a lot of information that I couldn't get elsewhere. DeepOBD needed something additional (wiring changes, or similar) to look at oil temp/pressure on a '00 323Ci 'vert, so I didn't mess with it.

Torque and a Bluetooth ELM327 gave me pretty much everything I wanted, so I'll stick with it for resetting codes and any 'deep dives' i need to do.

DeepObd is older than IbusApp, it has been implemented to be used with IbusApp due to it's potential, 4/5 years ago.

it only needs a proper connection (previously was only by Usb/Dcan) that can be obtained with the proper specific BT dongle, that is sold by them.
one you set everything up (by following the wiki page), you'll have all the same data stream that you can have in INPA, including all the activation tests, clear errors and autoadaptivity.

Torque is a little bit different only shows display and errors, nothing else.
IbusApp is an extended board computer that also let you to code the car (via Resler module) and have a lot of funny stuff in it.
