Default Obd2 scan tool suggestions

I'm trying to get some suggestions on scan tools. I'm looking for one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, but need one that reads real time data including o2 sensors. My 07 350z enthusiast is throwing a code p2a00 and figure this would help me see whats goin on. Asked at Autozone and the kid behind the counter looked at me like he was stoned so no help there. Any suggestions on a decent one?

Has anyone tried the torque pro app for smart phones? Would it read the sensors?

I have this one for home. It does all I need it to do, including live scans.. I have the torque app on my phone, but haven't tried it yet. I'm sure someone'll chime in regarding that. https://www.ebay.com/itm/KW808-MaxiS...pe!19611!US!-1

Torque pro will work and NDSIII/NDSII will work if your on android. Just be careful what adaptor your get. It should be the cheapest option compared to a scan tool.

Not the cheapest tool out there, but UpRev's Cipher remains one of my most reliable tools with multiple uses.

I've used/have Torque. Maybe it's my cheap ebay adapter, but it def has a lag to it.

Thanks for the suggestions. Also found one called Bluedriver I might check out. Claims to have all the functions of a Snapon

Yea I kinda giggled a little too, but goin by this review, if it does what it says it does, I'll be happy for $100. True the Snapon in the video is a older one, but sounds pretty good to me

i used the Tq. app also, but now my cheap ebay OBD reader will not connect up with my phone... so it's garbage.

I also have a cheaper one from amazon. Works fine but it's not fancy.
