What do our users say about Carista App?

“The app works as stated with loads of customisable features. I guess the best thing about the product is that the Carista dev team keeps pushing out new features with every update. Carista totally demonstrates value for money, especially with the paid annual subscription plan.”
“Excellent support, quick response, very nice features built into the application.”
“App managed to pick up some OBD errors that other apps didn't display, in my case for the A/C pressure sensor in my Audi A4 B8. Very cool, replaced the sensor and now everything is running well. Also enabled the ADS and green menu for the MMI, all worked without issue. “
