Is there an app out there that lets you clear codes for free? I downloaded Auto doctor App but I have to upgrade to Auto doctor pro to clear a code.
 
For general Bluetooth OBD stuff I still use TorquePro. Unsure if the free version clears codes, worth a look? but it (and probably Auto Doctor) are worth it. It's a one off cost for a good app that you'll use for a long time.

Sorry for not answering your question, but you get my thoughts anyway
 
I just bought a cheap scan tool off Amazon years ago ($60 I believe). Allows you to clear codes as well as read them and I/M Readiness displays too.

You can always just disconnect battery for 3-5 minutes and that should clear codes too
 
Thanks guys.. I've been reading and clearing codes the "old fashioned way" by flipping the key in the ignition, writing them down, then pulling the battery cable..
Other than the obvious simplicity and time-savings, is there any other advantage to using one of these code readers?

IMO unless you get the fancy Snap on tool mega code reader lol....there isn't really any other advantage than convenience.

You don't have to reset your clock and radio station favorites. They can also allow you to monitor emissions related readiness codes and you can record data depending on which app you use.

I use CarScanner and FourStroke for free on iOS and have a Veepeak wifi plug that's meant for iPhone use.

Free version of Torque clears codes.

Is it for iPhones ? I can’t find it on the app store

Plus one for TorquePro.
It let's you monitor stuff too if you want to.
I use it on my F150 to find misfiring cylinders before they throw a code.
 
I have a $30 code reader from autozone in the glovebox. Let’s you clear and read codes, both current and pending, and see monitor status. Works great for my needs.
