It mostly works, but they promise a lot in their trial and marketing, then you find out what really works for your model. Worst is that they're a really shady company to deal with. They give no warning for impending renewals or price increases, and they make it really, really hard to cancel. For BMW Buy Protools instead, it does a ton more, it's a one time purchase, support is great (and based in the US).

Hello, we are sad to know that you are unsatisfied with Carly and that our explanations about our products were not understandable to you. I will share your valuable opinions with my colleagues and improve our service. Thank you for your understanding.

It may be a more or less helpfull device/app, BUT BE AWARE: You can't cancel your order even within minutes of placing it as they make you abandon any right of cancellation during the ordering process! Another thing they hide very well is that your order is NOT A ONE TIME ORDER/PAYMENT, but a yearly standing order. When trying to discuss a refund they try to blackmail you into giving good review by offering a partly refund, but only AFTER leaving a positive feedback.

Hello, Many thanks for your feedback. When it comes to the app license as digital content, basically, you rent Carly software from us for a year and can cancel the auto-renewal anytime. Software rental is non refundable after a customer proceeded the purchase. This is explained in our terms and conditions. We appreciate your understanding.

Powerful app in that it can do a lot of coding that others can't. However, compared to other solutions which also use the model of wireless adapter and mobile app, Carly's connection between car and adapter is fragile and finicky. Further, the user interface is much worse than its main competitor, and it's more expensive. I bought this thinking that after years of development, the GUI would have improved, but no. Cannot function in Portrait mode. Gives poor descriptions of codes. Can't recommend
