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.

Thanks for the feedback! Our adapter isn’t a generic $5 device—it’s custom-built for secure, high-speed communication with modern vehicles. The subscription supports ongoing updates and new features. For advanced diagnostics and customizations, Carista offers a complete, reliable solution. All OBD2 features do not require a subscription.

forced login before I can test to see if it's worth signing up for. Then they lied to me, saying that I can still check compatibility and run a basic scan. The login screen is the very first thing that happens when I activate the app. Do not pass go, do not check compatibility, nothing. Like I said, forced login. If I knew how to block a developer from ever showing up on my searches, this would be one of them.

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.
