I have been using TouchScan with an Android tablet/phone and Elm327 BT. It's worked well enough for me that I haven't tried another to compare it to since I started using it.

See if this info helps: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dashcommand-obd-ii-gauge-dashboards/id321293183?mt=8

I use it on all my cars mainly for Check Eng warning light. As a bonus this provides some neat stuff like Mpg, Instant mpg, Eng vacuum, Eng temp, Hp/Tq used etc. Data that is able to read depends on your car.

Yes it can read/reset codes for Porsche too. However, I still use my Durametric to read/reset codes for the Boxster.
