I bought the Carista OBD2 adapter and a subscription about 2 years ago. I unlocked some features on my Toyota and canceled the subscription. Now that I have a different car, I checked for compatibility and it said I could unlock features. Only after paying $15 did it bother to tell me I need the upgraded adapter. I spent the money, but to do anything they need more. Feels like bait and switch at this point.

I purchased a one month only non-renewing subscription. Carista still charged for another month. I had notified of my cancellation of Carista before the posting date of the additional month of a non-authorized charge for what I thought was a one month non-renewing subscription originally purchased per there selection at time of purchase. I can't recommend Carista and would suggest using a different device and app for service because of their, shall I say, questionable and unclear subscriptions.

Thanks for the review. We are sorry you feel this way. All app subscriptions, including ours, automatically renew by default. When you subscribe, it clearly mentions that the subscription will renew automatically. This is a standard feature of subscription services, ensuring you keep access to the app instead of just making a one-time payment.

Beware, this is a scam. if you purchase a 1 month subscription, it enrolls you in a MONTHLY subscription. This is not stated anywhere. The device was missing features they advertised, so if you think you're paying for a one month trial, you're not. Check your Google Play account.

Thanks for your feedback. The 1-month Carista plan is a recurring monthly subscription by default (shown in Google Play/App Store at checkout), but you can cancel anytime and still keep access until the end of your paid month. Feature availability depends on your car’s ECU, so some options may vary.
