They offer a greasy subscription model where if you don't cancel 30-days before renewal you're locked in for another year. I did cancel but it turns out I had two concurrent contacts (which was NOT clear). Low and behold, I've paid for another year (£60) for an app that I don't need. I did not receive a renewal notification (they don't send them). I contacted customer services who do not care about customers. There is zero chance of getting refund. They told me to read my contract. AVOID.1310798

If you want to waste monney this is the product for you, dispite the fact that you pay for the scanner you Also have to buy a subscription for the "full" version (this in my opinion ridiculous). With all this being Said the app just doesn't work it constantly has to reconnect to the scanner. I've sat in my car for a good 2 hours waiting for the scan to "Finnish" and well it never did. To conclude all of this, its apsolute shite

Scam. I purchased Carly adapter a while ago. Now connected with the free Carly App, which read several (almost 20) different error codes, but would show no details, pushing for the annual subscryption and purchase of the full version. Went to my friend's garage and scanned with a professional BMW certified scanner, which showed no errors. Stop cheating Carly!!!
