Finally sprung for a safety net
Well after thinking about it I finally went out and got a Scanguage just so I can see my temp and voltage. Got the model E and used the velcro to place it on the steering wheel. It turns on and off with the ignition and stays on the water temp and voltage. Took a quick picture of it today as I was coming back from a golf outing. It's better then using my Torque pro because it is always hooked up.

Nice, that will make you feel much more comfortable I am sure. Why oh why didn't they give the option in the cluster, instead it forces you to Velcro a $100 add-on plastic doo-hickey on to a $90,000 car.
That is much more useful than on a cell phone, having to open the app everytime you drive would be annoying. Having the device right there for regular monitoring is perfect.

I have the torque pro on my cell phone but it's a pain to have to boot up the app and get the gauge screen up before you take the car out. With this scangauge it turns on when you start the car and it shows WT and volts. No need to boot anything or search for the gauge set. Quick and easy. I'm not impressed with having this sticking up on the steering wheel but I'll live with it for now.

I looked around as well and ended up getting this gauge for under 40 bucks.
Shape is pretty small and fits in a bunch of spots. Also does codes Etc. So far no issues...
Works real nice and no need to carry/leave an iPad/droid or have to deal with Bluetooth Etc. I did a quick write up

I have the Autool X50 Plus as well. Works great and doubles as a code reader. You can find them on ebay for <$35 delivered.
One question I have, what temperature range are you seeing? Under normal driving conditions my XK runs between about 190 and 195. When it is hot outside (115 F) mine will get up to 222 F sitting at a stop light. My Xterra runs about 190 to 195 under normal conditions as well but only gets to about 204 when it is hot outside at a stop light.

Yep, when the basics of a few simple gauges pushes the vehicle over it's price point - behold our aftermarket option.

All that stuff and not one device shows his engine temp! Probably has it as a stock item in his dash display in that regular ole' Ford product.
