Turbo check with ODBII app scanner

I've got a JCW and I feel like I don't hear the turbo swooshing like it used to - I could be wrong though. Assuming there's a new fangled way to check that it's working through an ODBII / App, I'm looking for recommendations. I've got a blue driver ODBII bluetooth scanner, but I don't see a way to find boost. Someone recommended the Boost app, but it's not compatible with Blue Driver. Any recommendations are much appreciated!

I have Torque Pro installed on my Android head unit. It can display boost. Top left gauge.

Thanks, I don’t have a head unit. I’ve got an iPhone that I need to connect to.

Same for the $7 Car Scanner ELM OBDII app for iPhone, which lists "Calculated Boost" among the live data functions.
