"Carly is a total game-changer for BMW owners. I used the coding feature to unlock my digital speedometer and disable the auto-start-stop in minutes. It paid for itself the very first time a warning light came on and I was able to diagnose the issue at home rather than paying $200 just for a scan at the 'stealership'."
"Carly literally saved me from buying a lemon. I brought the scanner to a used car inspection and the mileage manipulation check flagged a discrepancy that wasn't on the report. Now I use it to manage the maintenance on my Audi, and the step-by-step repair guides make DIY fixes actually feel achievable for a non-pro."

Sentiment Score
Summary
This app receives predominantly negative feedback, reflected in a global sentiment score of 18 out of 100. A major point of contention is the subscription model, frequently described as a 'scam' or 'abzocke' due to hidden auto-renewal, high costs, and significant difficulty in cancellation. While some users found the app functional for basic tasks like error reading and clearing, especially for BMW and Mini vehicles, many reported issues with advanced coding capabilities, slowness, and general incompatibility across various car models, including Skoda Superb 3 (2022), BMW 1er F40, and Berlingo B9. Customer support is largely criticized for being unresponsive and unhelpful, despite a few positive interactions, contributing to an overall perception of poor value for money.
