Code reader question

[GO2JAIL]

Does anyone have/use a code reader that plugs in the OBDII port? If so, what is it and do you like it? TIA

I've used this for years, so I'm sure there's something newer.

That along with a "car scanner" app on my phone I find it pretty much can do what I need when just reading data.

I have a plug in scanner that uses Torque app but it isn't compatible on my new android phone.
Would something like this scanner be easier to use than an app on your phone?

I need something to tell me whether or not I have a P0016 code.
If

You can go to most auto parts stores like Autozone and they will plug in a code reader for free.

They all do the same thing. I've seen $30 Bluetooth units and $3000 dealer units do the same. If you're reading codes, <$100 is good enough. If your diagnosing complex issues, then more $$$ is the better investment.

I use the OBD MX units with their app or Torque Pro app.
