Torque 1.5.58 allows users to build fully customizable dashboards with dials, gauges, bar graphs, and digital readouts. You can monitor:
Surprisingly, many users say yes. Later versions of Torque added features that sometimes bloated the app or caused battery drain. Version 1.5.58 is often viewed as the "Goldilocks" build—it has all the features you actually need (logging, clear codes, dashboards) without the potential bugs introduced in later experimental updates.
Because Torque 1.5.58 requires location permission (for GPS logging) and phone permission (for voice alerts), be aware: torque 1.5.58
Score: 8.5/10
Torque 1.5.58 represents the peak of the app's maturity before the interface began to feel too dated compared to modern UI standards. It is the version most enthusiasts stick with because it strikes the perfect balance between functionality, plugin support, and stability. Torque 1
1. Rock-Solid Stability The biggest selling point of 1.5.58 is that it rarely crashes. Earlier versions had issues with Bluetooth dropping connections or the app freezing during data logging. 1.5.58 fixed the vast majority of these hang-ups. If you are using a generic ELM327 Bluetooth adapter (the cheap $15 ones from Amazon or eBay), this version handles the connection handshake better than almost any other version.
2. The Dashboard Customization This is Torque's killer feature, and it is excellent in this build. You can set up a custom dashboard with virtual gauges (dials, bars, digital readouts). Score: 8
3. Fault Code Clearing (Check Engine Light) The primary reason most people buy this app is to turn off a Check Engine Light (CEL). Version 1.5.58 handles this flawlessly. It reads generic and manufacturer-specific codes quickly and clears them without glitching the ECU.
4. Plugin Support
At the time of this release, the plugin ecosystem was thriving. Plugins for specific manufacturers (like Ford, Nissan, or BMW) for enhanced diagnostics (ABS, Airbag codes) work seamlessly on this version. If you use the TorqueScan plugin, this version provides the smoothest integration.
