  • Not good

    Annual subscription model sucks. Why pay $100 once on something like obdeleven when you can pay $100 every year to use this? And just recently I keep getting error to connect to internet because the carly user data is out of date.. but it is connected. You cannot use this app if you're offline it seems.

  • Misleading and Deceiving App

    This product will not fully work with any other ELM327 adapter other then a Carly adapter. Although the App allows you to connect via an ELM327 App, purchase a subscription, but at no point until after purchase of the subscription does it tell you that full functionality cannot be achieved with the Connected adapter and you are required to purchase a Carly Adapter. Carly will not refund the subscription despite failure to notify that the product will not work with installed adapter. This is misleading and deceptive and in violation of Australian Consumer Law. Shame on you Carly.

    Thank you for your feedback. I understand that purchasing a software rental product is not a typical purchase experience. Let me explain how we offer our product: The app license is considered digital content, and you acquire it for use during a specific period of time. As stated in our terms and conditions, the license is non-refundable once the purchase is confirmed. Please note that license rentals are governed by different German laws than those applicable to regular product purchases. We appreciate your understanding. What is new at Carly?

  • Lack of account management

    NO way for you to maintain your account details.
    You can not cancel or change your subscription. You can not change your contact details.
    You need to jump through a lot of hoops to get anything done.
    there are a lot of free app that does exactly what this does. Do your home work before you buy. Scanner is average. If I knew the auto subscriptions will be $181 and it was easy to cancel, believe me I would have bought a $250 scanner that comes with software.

    Hi, Thanks for the feedback. There are many low-priced OBD2 scanners out there, that's true, but with those, you can't perform DPF regeneration, read and erase manufacturer-specific fault codes, code certain elements of a car, and more. Carly supports these features and many more! For more information, visit our website: https://www.mycarly.com/ . Regarding cancelation, you have the option to cancel your annual license at any time via Carly support (https://support.mycarly.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000444960 ) or through the App Store. We appreciate your understanding. The support team can help you change your contact details as well. All you need is just to submit your request.

  • Absolute ripoff, almost a scam.

    Just a word of caution to anyone who falls for the scam this company is - you are required to purchase a physical OBD scanner and then purchase a subscription on top of that in order to even analyze the codes that the proprietary pile of junk finds. The scanner will tell you there are codes found but you cannot read the codes without an overpriced scamscription. Fool me once, never again.

  • Carly scanner waste of money

    I paid $150 for this scanner it doesn’t even do the basic stuff without paying a 1 year subscription of $200 aud a year ..
    If you don’t get a subscription you can see how many faults you have and can see or clear anything.. I can buy a $30 scanner on eBay that does a lot more and clear and check codes for free .. don’t buy this rubbish

  • Amazing product, dreadful company

    A great product until something goes wrong. After paying for a subscription for 3 consecutive years, and having not used the product for 1-2 years, upon using it one day I suddenly realised my subscription had lapsed mid-term. I raised a support case with Carly who fixed the problem immediately, however they refused to tell me how long it had been lapsed for. My argument was that if it had expired for more than 1 year, I’d want my money back, as I had been paying for a service which had not been available. They then repeatedly began closing tickets without answering them, pretending that they weren’t getting my emails, like an immature child, and refused to help me, despite me being overly polite. I will never use this company again and will instead use Bimmercode, who are much better. AVOID.

Please send me the ticket numbers and I will glandly check them for you.
  • Scam tool

    Remember snake oil salesman? This app is the modern equivalent. They do not support the product, and refuse to refund money that they take. It is a recurring charge annually… at that price, buy a scan tool or something that works for more than 2 months

  • Dishonest and misleading subscription

    After not using the app for more than 8 months the they auto-renew on me out of the blue. I request a refund. They refuse. I feel so cheated and helpless. This is not the way to treat customers.

    Developer Response

    Hi there, you can cancel the auto-renewal of your license anytime. However, to avoid further the renewal must be cancelled before the renewal date. The app is an annual license, we inform customers about this before the purchase.
