The Bluetooth reader reads all values, codes, etc in real time. The Torque program takes it to another level. You put in values about your vehicle, like weight. It can then take velocity, engine speed, etc, and calculate hp and torque.

You can create screens on the app to show any combo of values.

But it still allows reading codes and resetting codes. You may have to search on-line for the meaning of obscure codes specific to your vehicle.
