    CarScanner Pro is probably the easiest one to use out of the box and has a ton of PIDs and functionality built into it already. However I'm surprised that you haven't mentioned Torque Pro which indeed isn't that user friendly but being really lightweight and supported by a large list of plugins available, easy integration with other apps (eg. AA Performance Monitor) and ability to setup pretty complex custom PIDs I would argue makes it one of the best apps of its kind
