Used to be good but too expensive now – Carly — OBD2 car scanner Review

When I first used Carly about 8 years ago it was a revolutionary and great app at a modest price; you bought a special dongle at $50 and the app was free is cheap. But then a new version required a new dongle which annoyed me but I played along. Then the next major version required yet another special dongle and $60/year subscription. Normally when you buy hardware and software it works forever; it just doesn’t have the latest features, which is understandable. However NOT Carly; they disable all older versions so that they do not run. You are forced to pay their newest price. Oh and many features are extra cost options. As other reviews state they are ever more GREEDY. They could have had the market to themselves but due to their greed there are now more modestly priced apps that are just as good. And those apps use commercial dongles instead of Carly specific ones. 8 years ago they were a star. Now they are just fading into oblivion.
