Torque app question

I have this and I am using the Torque Lite app on my phone.
I was watching a video of this product and it had a screen like this



I can't seem to set this up on the phone.
Could it be I would need the Torque Pro app for $5 ? Or a completely different app ?
When I got mine there was a quick start guide but no user manual.
Thanks

Hit the Real Time Information button on the left center of the screen when you open the app. I'm pretty sure it's available on Lite. Of course if the OBII reader isn't connected to the car the gauges will all read 0.

Don't have a real time button.
Hit the gear icon to open menu and it's not there either.
Can you show a picture of yours ?

Just a crappy picture I took of 2 of my old phones. The one on the left has no service. I just use it as my code reader.

OK I just found out I can set my screen up using the free version the way I would like it.
Looking at a gauge hold your finger on it and a menu pops up.
You can delete , move or add a display.
You can hold on a gauge icon and move it from one page to another also.
The lite version won't give you more than four things to look at on one page, there are 7 pages.
So if you want, you can add more things but it takes time to make it the way you would like.
7 X 4 = 28 different things.
Some items can be in guage form, others are a square .
Hope this can help someone.

Have you discovered the "heads up" feature? Lay your phone on the dash board and you magically have a heads up gauge display on the windshield.

With our Police force they would consider that a distraction and ticket you under the distracted drive laws.
funny some cars have that feature.
