Very expensive. I bought the adapter and downloaded the app. I thought that due to the hefty price of the Bluetooth module there was a months free subscription included in the price. I connected the module and connected to it with the app and was disappointed that to do anything other than just basic scans I had to spend another £14.99. To be fair once I had done this I did everything I needed to do. I just feel that with hindsight I should have looked into getting a cheaper third party adaptor.

Thanks for your feedback! We understand that pricing can be a concern, and we appreciate you sharing your experience. The adapter and app subscription are separate to ensure ongoing updates, support, and access to advanced features. We're glad to hear the app helped you get everything done once activated.

Useful features as far as I've seen so far but beware the free trial period, there isn't one and a subscription for 12 months gets taken out immediately the same day you start the "trial". Disappointed with this false advertising, otherwise I may have chosen to continue the subscription after the trial if I saw value in it but I would rather have the trial period first, as with other apps or services I've used / still use.

Thanks for your review! Sorry to hear about any confusion there might be. If you have a Carista adapter, you do indeed get a 1-month free trial. Please contact support@caristaapp.com and we'll help you get that free trial and/or refund any unwanted paid subscription.

Slow support and stupidly over priced subscription, there's another well known app that's more up front but the usability is so much better. As part of the beta I tested and fed back, with no response to the parts that don't work which is most of it for a 7.5 Golf. Don't waste your money on this and use the other one. Would of been one star but the three things I managed to get to work actually worked correctly. Makes me wonder what the charges are for!
