Don’t be fooled

Save your money. Buying this app is just the beginning. In most cases to use any of the features you have to buy their OBD tool. And even it’s highly likely you still won’t be able to access the advertised features. What they don’t disclose is that even tho your vehicle may be listed along with the features it’s supposed to have it’s highly unlikely it will work. It’s laughable to read the developers response to reviews about people should just contact them. Been there done that. Their typical response is auto makers have various versions of their software so not all features may work. Thanks for paying us you fools. Total lack of full disclosure. Buyer beware

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration, but we would like to clarify how our system works. While our app supports several third-party, generic OBD2 scanners, the Carista EVO scanner is strictly required to communicate properly with some specific car models. We strive to be completely transparent about this, and all information regarding scanner compatibility for your vehicle can be checked on our website before making any purchase. You can find more details here: https://help.carista.com/hc/articles/11699121372956-Carista-EVO-or-Carista-OBD. If you are facing any issues accessing features that should be supported for your car, please reach out to us at support@caristaapp.com so we can help.

App doesn’t even work right

I’ve never written an App Store review before, but this has been the worst app experience I’ve ever had. I paid for the subscription, yet the app never worked properly. I contacted customer support twice and received no meaningful help. At this point I genuinely feel like I wasted my money. If you’re looking for a coding app I’d recommend choosing a different one because this one has been nothing but frustrating.

Very confused - what the ?!

I bought the scanner 3 yrs ago, worked well, price was reasonable. I want to renew and use it again to check a few things.
The prices are now $75 for a year or $30/month lol
Ridiculous !
Will be requesting a refund.
The scanner is now useless
Very disappointing

Баг

После подключения к OBD сканеру перестало откликаться приложение, ничего нельзя нажать, перезапуск не помогает.
ОЧЕНЬ ХОРОШАЯ ИГРА !!ОЧЕНЬ ХОРОШАЯ ИГРА !!

Junk

Claims it does all these things but after you purchase the actual thing you have to purchase their outrageously priced app. Then when it doesn’t work because they claim it only works with certain vehicles they won’t refund your money because they are out of the states.
