Leaf Spy Pro

About this app

The Leaf Spy Pro application allows anyone with a Nissan Leaf electric vehicle, Android device with Bluetooth and a supported ELM327 OBDII Bluetooth adapter the ability to monitor their battery and other vehicle information normally visible only to the dealer.

With the release of version 0.39.97 LeafSpy Pro now supports two Bluetooth 4.x LE approved adapters. The recommended one is the LELink available from Amazon. Bluetooth 4.x LE has the advantage of not needing to be paired and lower power from both the Android device and the Leaf. The LELink is highly recommended and also works with the iOS version of LeafSpy Pro.

Ratings and reviews

The good news is that the app works and shows a plethora of useful information and lets you change a decent number of hidden settings. However, I have some complaints. 1. It is quite astonishingly ugly. 2. It is surprisingly expensive: 3 times the price of Torque Pro, which is the comparable app for hybrids. 3. It doesn't integrate at all with Android Auto. This seems like an obvious thing to add. 4. The Lite version doesn't seem to exist in the store any more, which prevents try-before-buy.

EDIT: Feature request: It would be nice to have a graph of the battery temperature over time. This would allow correlation with battery temperature and driving habits etc. Nice app, I now have a silent car no beeps or other noises...so nice! Wondering if it's possible to have doors unlock on both conditions park or ignition off. I don't always press park before turning the car off.

Yes, this is *the* app for Leaf owners and offers a lot of great features. But it's very expensive, ugly, is not very customizable (compared to something like Torque, for example), and, most importantly, doesn't support Android Auto (it'd be great to mirror Leaf Spy screens on the Leaf's display.)
