Carly — OBD2 car scanner

doubtful rating

Carly is an OBD2 scanner with deep BMW support: coding, full module diagnostics, and solid code descriptions. Works well for BMW owners. For other brands the feature set is much thinner, and an auto-renewing subscription you can only cancel through support generates consistent frustration.

About the rating

Store average 4.65 with text average 2.15 and pct5 22 shows a clear mismatch. Hidden auto-renewal with no online cancellation option is a systemic practice, not isolated cases.
