★★★★★Livio Coccia· Apr 17, 2026
Great service and Customer support help, this vehicle diagnostics application will be invaluable, and if the great Ed China of Wheeler Dealer (and YouTube channel 'Grease Junkie') fame rates it, then who am I to question its abilities in use.
★★★★★Abdulrasaq Mohamed· Apr 17, 2026
By far the most all rounded tool. I had a Q5, an S4 b5, a 4Runner and A Volvo all of which worked flawlessly with Carly. They are responsive and amazing at customer service. Never had any issues with sync, data accuracy nor support. Amazing tool at a good price.
★★★★★Imre Miklós· Feb 3, 2026
I use Carly every week. I can solve 90% of the problems of BMW, VAG group, and other cars, which I could only do with dedicated laptop testers. Keep up the good work. Happy holidays!

This is a rip-off of a product, beware that they trick you into a subscription that auto-renews and hikes the price up. Beyond that it is slow and barely works, most features are either an additional expense or just don't work. Rubbish
★☆☆☆☆Robert Matthews· Feb 7, 2026
Do not buy this app or scanner after several attempts to cancel they still won't cancel the auto-renewal subscription and keep trying to charge me and have even given me a late payment fine it's a scam there's no phone number or anyone to talk too please do not buy further to many back and forth conversations between klarna and carly and still getting nowhere I need to speak to a real perso to resole my issue but carly has no contact details so how do I speak to someone to resolve my issues
★☆☆☆☆M· Feb 20, 2026
Extremely disappointing. The device itself is essentially a dongle linked to a slow app. In my case, it would not read a Volvo we tested, and it frequently produced ambiguous error codes on my Mercedes. It did function on a BMW X5, but very slowly. However, my main issue arose 12 months after purchase. I was charged the ridiculous sum of £122.88 for an annual renewal that I was not aware would occur. I received no renewal reminder and no advance notice. I wish I'd never heard of Carly
