The only app I've found that gives you all the parameters that are actually useful for tracking is OBIE in the apple store. The problem is it requires a PLX Kiwi wifi.
The parameters that are already available on OBIE are: oil temp, oil pressure, coolan temp and boost.
You can select three gauges at a time, and only displays one gauge at a time, and to get to the other two, you'd have to scroll to the left or right.
The data from this app, although not as fancy as Torque or dashcommand, are actually more desirable for performance driving than any other apps I've seen.
I'd be very much interested to see if you can actually use the ELM327 to communicate with OBIE. If you can, then the cost is only $5. Plus the $15 for elm. And you don't have to sweat trying to input pid to get what you want.
Here's the web page on it. Let me know if elm is a possibility with this app;

Agreed! The dash command app is quite expensive and as far as I have found WILL NOT let you manually add the known PID for the oil temp. I have the kiwi2 plx wifi for iPhone and paid my money for dash command and then found no oil temp. Same if you use the ELM327 as dash command won't let you use manually entered PIDs yet - they say it is coming.
Torque seems to be THE one that will let you manually enter the PID for oil temp but is only android as you all know.
Also did not find a way to add it to the OBIE gauges using the kiwi2 plx. Someone else may be able to but oil temp would not work automatically. Again, like the others I think it uses the standard PID for oil temp and not the 86/BRZ unique one.
I have tried most and find the HKS OB-Link with carscope app on android to be the best so far. Seems accurate and pretty fail safe and shows oil temp of the 86 with no changes once you select Toyota 2 (I think) for car type. Expensive though! The elm327 with torque is much cheaper.
