I'm about to pull the trigger on the PLX Kiwi 2, unless can suggest better.

Help me out of the Dark Ages:
1) What is an "SES" and why would it constitute a dire emergency? ...and if dire, why wouldn't everyone have a Peake in an on-board toolkit?
2) What else will the Peake do? The idea that it seems to not be laptop dependent does have its appeal -- especially if carried as an emergency tool.
3) Dark Ages help: "Launch" app does what?? I checked out he PLX Kiwi 2 on Amazon. Am I correct that this is essentially a dyno??! It gives you real time data on all parameters that I could think of -- "...It can efficiently monitor a vehicle's MPG, data log engine parameters, read/reset engine trouble codes and monitor real time engine performance. Simply connect your Smartphone to this tool through a Wi-Fi connection, and launch the compatible application of your choice to obtain vital information about your vehicle...."
And per an eBay ad: "...wideband air/fuel ratio, exhaust gas temperature, vacuum/boost, air intake temperature, fluid pressure and fluid temperature...."
Does BMW block any of these apps' functions?
Have you tried one out yet, or know of someone who is using Launch?
Thanks.
