Very limited. Definitely not worth the price they’re charging. I hate to be like this, but I hope that my review stopped someone else from wasting their money. ### 1/5 — Money as usual. *2026-07-20* As soon as the app opens they want money even before you have seen anything or heard anything. Offers a free trial and we all know how they end up. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-07-01, version 1.2.1* Sucks ### 1/5 — Sucked never worked *2026-06-28* This app never worked, so I canceled my subscription, but this company continues to charge my card, which is theft I have reported this app ### 1/5 — Can't display 3 widgets at one time *2026-02-21, version 1.0.3* You can only display the widgets in the stacks. Since there are only two stack you can display a 3 widget format. Waste of money. ### 2/5 — Funktioniert, aber.. *2026-08-06* Ich habe mit die App aufgrund des Old School Kassetten Optik - Players heruntergeladen. Leider aber ist die Kassette nicht animiert, keine Simulation eines sich drehenden Bandes. Das wichtigste aber: Spotify ist ausgegraut und lässt sich nicht verbinden und Spotify ist nunmal in Sachen Algorithmus und Vorschlag ähnlicher Musik der Apple Music haushoch überlegen. Daher Abo wieder gekündigt… ### 2/5 — Trial *2026-05-27, version 1.1* The cool things I wanted it to do did not work as intended. ### 3/5 — Product works but not User Friendly *2026-07-02, version 1.2.1* After spending some time with the tool, I was able to get most of the features working. However, I ran into a number of issues when trying to use PNG files that I had downloaded from the internet. It would be helpful if the application clearly stated which file formats are supported, along with any size or resolution limitations for images. The user interface should inform me on how to configure the iPhone when I select the connect and disconnect sounds. I understand the instructions are there but the Interface gives off the impression you just select the sounds you want. Overall, the product works as intended, but it could be significantly more user-friendly. Providing clearer guidance on supported file types, file size limits, and setup requirements would improve the overall user experience and reduce unnecessary trial and error. ### 5/5 — ✅✅✅✅✅ *2026-04-10, version 1.0.6* I’ve tried a bunch of apps to customize my CarPlay, and honestly, most of them were either confusing or just didn’t look that good. Carlio is the first one that actually feels right. Setting up the widgets was super easy, and everything just looks clean and well-designed. It doesn’t feel cluttered or overcomplicated, which I really appreciate. Also, the startup sounds?? Such a small thing, but I love it. It makes getting in the car and starting a drive feel a bit more fun and personal. Overall, just a really solid app. Didn’t expect to care this much about how my CarPlay looks, but here we are 🙂 ### 5/5 — The Best CarPlay App ✅ *2026-04-09, version 1.0.6* I didn’t expect much at first, but this app actually changed how my BMW feels. I added a startup sound and a couple of widgets, and now every time I connect CarPlay it just hits different. it’s a small thing, but it genuinely makes driving more enjoyable. The setup was super easy, no complicated steps. Everything just works. I like that it’s not overloaded..you open it, pick what you want, and that’s it. Honestly, it made my car feel a bit more “mine”. Been using Carlio, and it’s honestly one of those small upgrades that just makes a difference. ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really cool app! 🚙 *2026-03-10* I was looking for a way to customize my car screen and Carlio turned out to be exactly what I needed. The widgets look clean and actually make the dashboard feel more personal. My favorite feature is the startup sound when the phone connects to the car - it’s a small thing but it makes the whole experience feel more fun every time you start driving. The setup was also super easy. Everything works smoothly and the interface is simple to understand. If you like customizing your car dashboard and adding little details that make driving more enjoyable, this app is definitely worth trying ⭐️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
