Carista OBD2 users say on Google Play
I'm giving you five stars. I haven't used the app and only downloaded it to give a review. I came across your app on another platform and I thought it to be genius. I love that there are people out there creatively innovating ways and means to make things that are complicated or time consuming, simple to understand and do. Life is hard enough as it is and it makes my day when I stumble across amazing ideas such as this. Well done.
Excellent and easy to use app for diagnostics, much more than basic OBD2. Nice interface, quick response, can unlock a lot of hidden festures, whuch you cannot via car built in menus. BUT you cannot perform maintenance tasks, like bleed brakes, reset service intervals, test systems, like ABS, vipers etc, which you can do with ThinkDiag or Carly for example. If you ask me, Carista has most user friendly interface, ThinkDiag has all features almost all mechanic needs, but interface is confusing.
Requires an account, and online connectivity. That's not for me. A better strategy would be to make the related features optional, based on whether an account was created.
I realized I was a bit too harsh with my original review. So I am editing it, the app works just fine, the rating is reflective of their pricing strategy. I deal with Chinese manufacturers of similar things every day. Even with the tariffs, they are making a good bit of dough selling you a 60$ OBD2 dongle. This is fine I guess, because it does give you very limited ability to change a couple of options. The subscription is WAY overpriced and not worth it with no lifetime access option.
APP AGAIN IS UNSTABLE!! NOW IT DOESNT RECOGNIZE MY ACCOUNT LOG IN!!! Editing review: I have reset the Carista OBD2 module by pulling it out and putting it back in. It appears to be workiing fine now. I have requested some time ago that you make the font for the TPMS reading a little bigger. The screeen has plenty of room on it but the vital numbers, the actual Tire Pressure are so small I need to take the phone out of it's cradle to read it. Every other useless font is big enough to read.
