Question torque app, lite vs pro

I am using the torque lite app, and before I drop a whole $5 on the pro I have unresolved issues, I was wondering if anyone could help me with.
A lot of the gauges seem to want to report in metric, even though I have set them to give me English measurements. Some gauges don't report even though I'm sure they should, like voltage. and I'm sure there are some other things I cant remember that irk me. Do these things get fixed if I buy the pro app? Is the fuel trim short or long term? Is the fuel trim 2x1 sensor down stream of the cat, and does that tell me how well my cat is working(99% seams impossibly lean)? Is there a better app for me to use?
I'm not a great mechanic, but I learn fast, and I am mostly using the app to learn, and work on fuel economy.

I ponied up the $5 years back and have been using it since. Only just got my 04 Blazer so I haven't had a chance to try it out on it yet, so I couldn't tell you what sensors it reads and what it doesn't. Gotta dig out my bluetooth dongle anyhow... been driving around a 94 Sonoma so I haven't really had a use for it since it won't do any good with it lol. But I've always liked the app. Use to keep the dongle with me in the center console of my Tacoma because I'd always come across people who wanted me to scan their check engine light lol

I think I'll just go ahead and get it. even the parts that don't work just right are useful, and just for the trouble codes it is worth the $25 total that I will end up paying.

I've made use of mine a lot, it's paid for itself over and over by now. Had my first bluetooth dongle crap out on me, but it was a cheap China sourced one so I wasn't really that surprised lol
