Default Best OBDII Reader or Program

I'm looking to buy the best OBDII reader for my 2013 Audi A4. I really like the one from OBDeleven, but it only works with android devices and I only have apple products. My goal is to read codes and reset the Service Due light on my car. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I actually have a Hex-V2 from Rosstech for sale. It is the most desired scan tool for VW/Audi. It can have up to 3 VIN number connected to it, and I only used one of the spots. $140 and it’s yours. They are $200 new. Can ship out asap

Thanks for sending me the note. I'm definitely interested. I need to do a little more research prior to buying it. Everything I see on their website says that it only works with Windows products and does not work with Apple unless you run a bootcamp with Windows in the background. What did you use to operate it on.

I used windows 10 to run this on. I’m not too sure how it works on Apple products.

You might consider https://apps.apple.com/bm/app/thinkcar/id1464847380 . I have it but it doesn't work on my android phone. Your real question is what's the best Audi scan tool if you hate MSFT products. IMO the best scan tech is ODIS. Then ross-tech. Then cheap clones of both, then apple-compatible products.
