This is the full features premium version of the PHEV Watchdog App.
Please try the Free version before purchasing and visit the website to see the added features you'll have with this version.
This App accesses the car data through the OBD2 interface to monitor and process a wide range of data from the drive battery, combustion engine and electric motor.
Live data is then displayed in a convenient way on multiple screens from where you can swipe from one to another (see the screenshots).
Several statistical data are also computed by the App and a full historical log of the trips and of the drive battery condition is maintained.
In order for that to be possible you will need an adapter that will be plugged into the OBD2 port and perform the communications between the App and the Car. You can find many of these adapters online for a very reasonable price. In addition at this moment, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (that is the communication between the App and the adapter) are supported by the App.
Please check the website to learn more about OBD2 protocol and for a complete list of adapters reported to work with the App.
The PHEV Watchdog App will run on any Android device with a minimum version of Android v4.1 (Jelly Bean) and that has Bluetooth or Wi-Fi available.
If you have your device's location enabled (GPS) this will add location and altitude data, but it is not mandatory in order for the App to work.
At the moment the following PHEV models are supported by the App:
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (up to 2021)
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV
Hyundai Ioniq PHEV
KIA Niro PHEV
KIA Optima/Optima SW PHEV (only 2019 and + models)
KIA XCeed/XCeed SW PHEV
KIA Sorento PHEV
This is an excellent app for showing info about what's taking on when I drive my Outlander. I can't find a way to contact a person to suggest a feature so I'm doing it here. It would be a lot better if you enabled auto rotate and did some work on the landscape UI. It doesn't seem to rescale to my s23 ultra screen resolution. But it's still a great app.
Very stable and professional app. I have installed PHEV Watchdog directly in my Mitsubishi EC PHEV's Android based SDA, it works perfectly. The only wishlist is "background mode" support, since I may switch to Google map or other app, PHEV watchdog seems to be suspended in background.
A rather niche app... but well constructed and easy to use. Provides insight into what the vehicle is doing at any given time.
Be aware this paid version not working its looks same as free one just rip off money.
Excellent app :) could you add widgets or configurable screens please :)
It does not work correctly.
I can use Tasker to auto-start the app, but haven't yet found a way to auto-start data recording.
Support for Android 12 and later.
Some improvements and bug fixes.
