On my truck it does a good job reading and erasing codes, but there's a lot less CAN based sensors. I've got a 2010, I'm guessing the 2013 jump probably introduced a lot more CAN based messages.
On a 6.0L you can even read injector pulsing.
And you can even enter your own sensors if you know the CAN message and they're not already loaded on the app.

I have bought several of those dongles for .99 off of eBay.
