Default Android apps for ELM237 dongle

I've tried 3 so far including Torque and none of them seem to monitor oil pressure which the dash diagnostics picked up the other day

Does anyone know of a good app that covers OP? - even a paid one will do - Android phone BTW

Thanks Dell - seems all the viable ones means buying an extra bit of kit and don't work off the ODB port - looking at other posts on the internet the oil pressure reading from the OBD is a yes/no reading and not an actual live psi or bar reading anyway

The reading I got from the dash diagnostics for oil pressure was a "G" for Ground - anyone know if this means low or high or could mean either? I don't get the oil light on the dash coming on so it doesn't seem to be too serious anyway and could be linked to the CAN errors I'm getting (99% sure it's due to water damage to either the ECM or TCM or both)

I'll do the dash test again because I did it before I cleared the code thrown up by the ELM so maybe that has gone too

Has the car actually got anything but a go/no-go sensor? Many cars haven't and then of course it's fairly pointless having an app...
