Which OBD reader for Leaf Spy?

I use this one, with iOS and a first gen (2012 Japan built). I think there may be cheaper ones out there, but this was what i found/ordered and have used for the past couple of years.

Leafspy for iOS will only work with a Bluetooth adaptor if it is BLE 4.0. (Bluetooth Low energy)
This is a restriction of iOS not the adaptor or Leafspy app. I don't see anything in that listing that says the device is BLE 4.0 hence it won't work in bluetooth mode.
thanks. Purchased.I use this one, with iOS and a first gen (2012 Japan built). I think there may be cheaper ones out there, but this was what i found/ordered and have used for the past couple of years.

From a supplier of 'genuine' ELM devices:
"While OBD adapters come in many shapes and sizes, most of them (apart from OBDLink) are based on the ELM327 chip from Elm Electronics. Nobody owns the ELM327 trademark, so the devices carrying this label may be manufactured by any one of the dozens of small Chinese factories. As a result, there is a wide variance in design and build quality. "
Mine from Amazon works with all of the cars in my garage (X-Type Jaguar, 2014 Leaf Tekna, and BMW Z3. The first one I bought was one of the clone versions mentioned and is limited in its abilities - can't recall exactly now though. Mine was expensive but does the job well.
OBD Link
Just noticed it's not compatible with iOS devices.

Yes, there is no free version on iOS like there is on Android as far as I know.
