I would hate the nanny part of it, but the error code reading part seems very useful. Thoughts?

My dad has one of these and loves it. It lets him monitor everything, plus track time and gas spending. It has a ton of features, and even the small ones are still helpful. I've seen him use it a couple times, and it's pretty neat.

It would be worth it just for code reading purposes.

Smart, it's basically a OBD II to bluetooth reader with an app that does a few extra safety things.

Code reading aside, I'd only be interested to see how badly I can drive.
Hard braking and acceleration. Sharp turns.
Yup.

I was very curious to try this, but the $100 price tag is a little steep for me for the current set of features. I understand that they're planning on adding features in the future — I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this.
What I ended up getting for an OBD II scanner that will work with iOS is one of these wifi readers , along with the DashCommand app. It'll do some of what Automatic does (calculate MPG, read codes, trip computer), along with some things it doesn't offer AFAIK (gauge MAF, air/fuel ratio, fuel pressure, measure 0-60 and 1/4 mile speeds, etc.) It's clunky and probably not as polished or user-friendly as Automatic, but hey, it's $26 for the scanner and $10 for the app.
