Read the fine print

allu09063 on

The yearly renewal is in a small gray print when you order from their website and not in the product name (I.e. The product you order does not contain the words annual or subscription in the name). They also don’t send pre-renewal notifications.. I think this tells everybody enough about their business practises. The app itself mostly works but after buying everything a year ago, it is now upselling content. The smart battery monitor does nothing on a G30.

Scam company.

They take your money. Don’t ship the scanner. The software doesn’t work. Nobody replies from customer service for weeks. Absolutely useless waste of 170€

Has great potential, but…

for my Peugeot RCZ, options/abilities in app are just quite shallow, can’t like code, didn’t even have that ”check used car” ability, only health check and live data are only things for my Peugeot and I have paid for that year subscription. Also when checking out health, car own screens alarm for some problems like ”ESP broken”, ”ABS is not working” or something like that while it scans the car, but then app itself says that car health is good that no problems were found, so can’t even know for sure which one to believe, my car own computer or this app, which on is bugging out and making those most likely wrong warnings in my car screens? EDIT: Bought also now smart mechanic to finally able to see what are those 2 minor problem fault codes were, and what I find out, it’s same useless mess, no information were given and nothing changed, I have come to conclusion that for 70 price per year (extra over 30€ if want you want useless smart mechanic), this product is so useless that it’s just better to go buy more expensive OBD reader which then would give me so much more correct information and more ablities to do things than this useless product…

Good product, good app but scummy tactics.

Subscription based and but they don't mention this clearly when ordering from website. Only in small print. And don't want to refund when they charge you automatically without you knowing this. Also canceling is a hassle if bought from website. You got to sent several emails to cancel this automatic charge. Just avoid and look somewhere else.

Good

Good but too expensive

Seems to be scam

lardois on

This app seems to be a scam. Gives you very little / wrong information about the codes and pushes you to unlock additional expensive features like Smart Mechanic to get to know more. I got P0522 and Carly said is was related to ABS brakes. Googled it and it was about oil pressure sensor instead. Carly advertised that you should buy Smart Mechanic for 40€ to know more. Bought it and got exactly the same public info about oil pressure sensor. Total waste of money and they even refuse to give you refund for that! DO NOT BUY SMART MECHANIC, it’s a scam! I’d rather not buy Carly at all. Seems they are just trying to rip you off.

GM does not work

GroovyKille on

Finland

I bought Carly Lifetime for BMW years ago and worked great. Still does. Then I bought Cadillac and still worked awesome with my Escalade. BUT then an update. Stopped working. I got the one year GM, still did not work. App jammed. I got new OBD adapter from carly in exchange for the old one for free. Nice, but still did not work. Carly said I need to wait for them to code the whole GM thing from the ground up. Waited and waited and nothing. I did not get anything for my money. One year GM subscription and nothing works. Carly offered me one extra year for free, but said they won’t be doing anything for the GM. So basically I still haven’t got anything for my one year GM subscription. I wrote that I wan’t my money back and they responded with ”ticket solved”. I have not heard from them since. No idea if they gonna give my money back. I feel dumstruck. After many years of awesome app, I feel like they took a dumb on my morning sereal and made me pay for it.
