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

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

After spending more time with this app ive decided its not for me, alot of makes are not on there compared to other apps and you are forced to purchase the Carista dongle if you want to do basic service reseting on some cars, i had a 2006 bmw in work and it wouldn't let me reset the service light or add digital speedometer as these functions were locked because i was using an aftermarket dongle, extremely frustrating!

Thanks for the feedback. There is a very specific technical reason why we require the EVO adapter for customizations & service reset on pre-2008 BMWs: because generic adapters can't send "long messages" for those cars, which are required for customizations & tools. You can use generic adapters for other cars, as well as for diagnostics on your car.
