Who is using OBDLink software with the OBD LinkMX+ adapter? What gauges are you using? Pictures? What are the most useful to you. Is there another iOS app that you like better?

I have it in my '99 B4000. I use the OBDLink app on Android. I haven't tried any other apps.
I bought it mainly to diagnose CEL and ABS malfunctions. I rarely kept it running with gauges, other then when trying to diagnose intermittent errors in one of the wheel speed sensors.
What's good with the MX+ is that it can be used in multiple vehicles without additional fees.
I have yet to try it in my 2021.

I've used that with an app called Torque for Android (there is also a Torque Lite which is free but I didn't find it to be too useful). I only use it to diagnose issues so I don't generally have it up and running though when I towed our travel trailer the first few times I did use it to check the transmission temperature. I have found that it connects very reliably to the Ranger in the handful of times that I've tried it.

Likely will only use the gauges on long trips or when I think I am having issues. Thanks
