Functionality — 5/5

Along with the special 3G-equipped adapter, the app is meant to automatize your routine operation. It helps you with car diagnostics, provides better navigation and routing, and so on. The app learns the way you drive, your frequent routes, your manners, and after the first day it starts using this data in assistance. The functionality can be expanded, because the app can be integrated with other apps with IFTTT service.

Design — 5/5

Like most apps for drivers, Automatic CCA app is designed to make the most necessary info readable at a glance. It takes minimum taps or swipes to proceed to menus. If any trouble is detected, you get alerted both by a message on the screen and by a signal.

Usability — 5/5

Automatic CCA review should both cover the app and the adapter. The principle is simple: you connect the adapter to the service port of your car and access all the data it collects with just your smartphone. Installing the adapter is easy, and the app has a built-in manual on it.

Most of the work is done automatically. If the car undergoes a crush, the system reacts and sends the info to its centers. Thus you can report any accidents or get help on the road with no calls. It’s important because there’s no guarantee you will remain conscious after the shock.

The app also helps you decode check engine lights. Look at it, and find the corresponding section in the app’s alerts section. It explains to you what is happening to your car now, and what you should do about it.

In routine mode, the app collects data on your routes and mileage from the adapter and uses it to improve your driving experience. The adapter and the car can work separately: say, you can track your car location when abroad.

Cross-Platform Use — 5/5

“Cross-platform” here concerns cars as well as smartphones. The app is available for iOS and Android, and it doesn’t necessarily require the latest version. As for the adapter, it requires a standard OBD2 port most cars have, and you can connect it on your own, just following the instructions provided in the app.

In-App Purchases

Automatic CCA offers two service models: free and premium. But it’s not about the app: it’s free anyway. It implies that you have already purchased the CCA adapter, so you have paid for the app as well.

The Bottom Line

If you are an advanced driver and want to get the most out of your car, download Automatic CCA, purchase and connect the adapter, and enjoy the new level of driving. It will take some time to learn, but finally, the combination of the adapter and the app will pay.
