Not really. I just use the cheap, worthless software that came with it. Might be better if I used better software. And I use it with my laptop because I don't have any apples.

Get the UltraGauge. Works perfectly. Also, your valve cover bolts will need tightened at ever oil change. Just the nature of the beast.
