I bought the app when it was still a onetime payment, at the time pretty expensive, but I liked it a lot, changed a lot of things on various Toyotas that I owned. Now I have a new Audi but most options are locked which need an active subscription and a Carista adapter, but even when trying to change a simple non-locked option it gives me an error after 25%, so I'm not going to try the subscription if even the simple things do not work

I need to be able to clear engine codes efficiently and without distraction frequently. Having to press the big green button wait a minute then diagnosis then go to the codes screen then scroll all the way down to clear the codes is a distraction for me. I wish you would have a feature in which it would be a one tap code clear from app launch.

App works well, and is easy enough to navigate BUT for the price, and a yearly one at that it doesnt do half of what my £2 app does. All available through standard OBD2 measurements too. dissapointing. I thought i was purchasing a premium product, but its infact inefrior. Just tarted up well
