faster than 64% of Auto and vehicles apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
What users say about Carista OBD2 Car Scanner
From the 115 most recent Google Play reviews in the US.
