  • Stands behind its product

    I have been using Carly for years. Over the years it has enhanced its product and app to go belong coding and diagnostics. I don’t use its SmartMechanics feature, as I often search for information online via YouTube and BMW forums. Its customer service remains excellent once one get over the initial barrier to open a support case. I am not so fond of filling a second google form with similar information filled out in its online portal. I guess it becomes a necessity when its customer base grew. I reduced one star due to the tedious filing process. I purchased its OBD2 Gen 2 device three years ago. Recently, it does not allow me to reset oil change service indicator. I reached out to its customer support and was offered to replace my OBD2 with its latest OBD2 device. I was quite impressed by its life-time warranty coverage. There was no hassle to complete the warranty process. I am very glad Carly continues its excellent support.
  • Very limited on 2020 BMW 3 series

    This is for the paid version. There is very limited ECU coverage for my 2020 BMW 330 ix series. My older 2015 BMW 5 series has very good coverage. I know that the competitive sw has much better coverage. I have not seen any 3 series updates in a year.
  • Unhelpful customer service response + features changed for the worse

    I had bought their OBD+app package from their website because it will read/write Toyotas and read only Mazdas. Cool. One of the primary reasons I bought this app was it would customize aspects of the Prius, not the least of which is the annoying backup beep. Other apps will do this but not many will read both Toyota and Mazda. Changing beep failed; app recommended using “slow mode” and trying again. Never got around to it for several months. Finally went back to it. App says that I should update it because car info at this point is inaccurate. Updated. Now the app says that it no longer does customizations with no forewarning that I was going to lose that ability info updated. Secondly, while trying to set up for my Mazda. Auto-detect failed, so I had to manually go through telling it all kinds of things about my car. Started asking me cryptic questions about the engine and transmission that even my mechanic had no idea what the app was asking for. Contacted support about what these questions mean, and I got all kinds of unsatisfactory answers that never answered my direct questions about what their own app was asking like they didn’t know themselves, so how am I supposed to know how to answer the questions and know that the data I got back from the car would be accurate? This was a waste of a lot of money buying the app+OBD from their site (note, when I did this the terms were “not refundable”). I will not be renewing my subscription. **Edit—response to developer response: I don’t have an active support ticket anymore. We exchanged emails multiple times where I tried to get a reasonable answer to my reasonable questions. You had your chance.
  • Works, but instructions not great

    I bought the Carly device and premium subscription because they clearly advertise on their website that it is easy to use for BMW battery registration. Initially, it did not work. I eventually got it to work, no thanks to their product literature or customer service response. Be warned: you are largely on your own to make it perform.
  • Scummy

    Yearly renewals that hide behind fine print. Scummy company that would not refund or cancel charges even when pending. No support. Would never buy again.
  • Don’t buy it

    Don’t fall into the trap they are scammers they will make you buy the app buy the adapter and buy a yearly subscription. Go buy your self a snap on scanner for $200 is cheaper then this. U can probably get an even better scanner that reads all car brand codes for just a little over $200. I’ve paid almost $160 then they made the price now $90 a year.
  • Features Unusable without scanner

    Previously purchased gen2 scanner from Carly does not work with current app. I find it extremely poor service that there are software blocks when you do not purchase the current hardware. How many times do they want to gouge us with overpriced components?
  • Beware of the renewing subscription

    I thought I purchased lifetime membership and found it’s a hefty annual fee. :( No easy way to cancel. It must be done thru a complicated support process.
  • Worthless

    By Tookieplayer32
    The app is ok, but the scanner is not. What a worthless piece of plastic. Thought I could code some new features or change some on my car, but the options available are settings I can change myself through the driver information system. Live data is also not available. I am sure this thing works great in Germany or Europe or maybe even here in the states as long as the car you have was built in Germany. Does not work for a 2018 Jetta. Very disappointing. It’s nothing more than a $80 paperweight.
  • Ruined - ignored my feedback

    Used to be able to easily read and clear codes. Now a bunch of upselling and app errors. Will cancel my subscription. Update - I submitted a ticket with detailed (productive) feedback and promptly received an email stating my ticket had been closed.
