1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Requires CCard information. Deleted app because it requires CCrd info to use it…😡 Received an email from the developer said no Credit Card required…this a LIE, because even to test it for a limited “free” period a Credit Card is required… don'twaste your account imr with this app…

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Extremely frustrating. I had my data synced with Google and every time the app updated, half of my data disappeared and was unrecoverable. It even shows "Started Tracking on [whatever date]" multiple times and all old and new data just vanishes. It's random too because I'll have some logs still there, just not all of them. The whole point of this app is to keep a data log of repairs and service and it can't do that. Horrible app.

3. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   Lost all data. I’ve lost all of my data. Everything going back since 2019 on my car as well as records on two other cars are completely gone. Either a recent update wiped it or updating to a new phone dead. I’ve had it synced to my Gmail account since I started using this app many years ago and all my data is gone. I tried signing out and back into my account and nothing. I’m at a complete loss 5+ years of vehicle maintenance records and repairs gone. I trusted this app and now I’m left with no record at all.

4. ★★★★★login, signup and account access

   Misleading and worthless. App claims to back up to cloud and sync accounts but is completely useless on Android. Cannot even sign in using Google on pixel 6a so rip data.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Dumb. It didn’t let me add to track my gas mileage and get notice when oil change due

6. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   not working on my iphone XS. Added my garage and then a vehicle. then added service notes (all 4 tires replaced). added a note several times but cannot view any information I entered. For me, all the app shows is 1 page listing with my garage and 1 vehicle. clicked the support link in search of FAQs, website, a pdf —anything; the support link lands on the app’s twitter account which lists releases, updates etc. Wish it worked as it appears to be a very useful app.

7. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   Recent Troubles with Sync, and Lost Cars with History. This seemed to work okay until recently. Added a new car and somehow it just added to the one device and not the other. Tried signing in and out of both devices. When adding the new car to the other device (manually) with the big plus, it somehow deleted the car that I had been tracking the service history. Frustrating to say the least.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Clearing my garage. After I added several maintenance items to my just added garage, I felt very good about the app. I got out of the app and went back in later. My car was no longer listed nor was the name on my garage. I re-added my garage and one car. Listed info again. Got out and went back into the app. It cleared my garage again. Moving on to the next app.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Ugh. I just downloaded the app and before I could enter info on a single car it asked me three times to rate it. One star for now. Let’s see if the app works now.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Really had hope for this app. After downloading and setting up 2 vehicles fine, it will not let me add a 3rd vehicle. Is this by design or a bug in the app?

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I know it’s free and all, but…. It’s OK I guess; I’m looking for another because of the following: 1. No place for a picture of the vehicle in profile. I mean, if you needed a quick pic for PD if it was stolen, or wanted to show a pic to a wrecker driver while you stayed warm inside a 7- eleven– oh well! Tough bananas I guess… 🤷🏼‍♂️ 2. Information on car, e.g. , color, maybe your address, (I live in a house- not a “garage”) a state to go along with your license plate would be good… 3. I’m a detailed oriented person- I document things like, “checked and inflated tires to 35 psi at Dingbat Carwash this date”, or “Added a crapload of windshield washer /de-icer at home today in the driveway”; even “checked oil- full at home today at 1645 hrs”… not every thing is a oil change or transmission swap! Need more on the drop down menus! You really need to spiff this app up some! I’m not talking about putting lipstick on a pig, but have some design finesse guys!

12. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Easy to use, Exportable logs. I like the interface of this app. It’s easier to use than another app I pay for (which includes great charts). PROS: Easy to create and track multiple vehicles. Easy to share logs to email as text or other formats. CONS: Can’t get rid of ads. Can’t add your own service options. Since you can’t specify more than 1 Garage that seems like an unnecessary feature; the same information could be added to the entry page for a vehicle by having a field for Location Garaged.

13. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Good but…... I would like to be able to edit and add my own check lists. To be able to move and group vehicles together instead of just move down feature. A place to add part numbers would be ideal. The ability to add pictures, to add or take away (like add truck numbers, or put drivers name) from the my vehicle page, or the ability to have more than one garage. Maybe a notification that tells you when, let’s say, an oil change is coming up or it’s time to rotate tires, etc. I like the concept you have… it could use a few adjustments.

14. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    It’s fine, for basic needs. This is right up there with all the others in this apps category. It does job but doesn’t stand out from the rest. I want an app like this to be more intuitive. The VIN number tells you everything you need to know about a car. Yet even though I enter in VIN I have to still say what make, model, year. That should get auto filled based on VIN. And this app is missing Trim and color which others have. Photos of car would also be nice. As far as maintenance records go. Me entering in check boxes is not good enough if you ever need to file an auto warranty or insurance claim. They want receipts. An option to take a photo scan, like “Office Lens” iOS app by Microsoft does, of receipts and attach to the service record would be ideal. And ability to dump out to PDF of all records with images of receipts for a date range to use with insurance or warranty claims would also be ideal! My quest for the ideal Auto maintenance tracker app is still on going. This app unfortunately doesn’t fill the need for me.

15. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Worked good but can’t add another vehicle. Had this app for nearly a year. Very simple, easy to use for keeping track of every little (or big) thing you do to a vehicle. Problem is when I went to add a 4th vehicle it won’t “add”. I hope they fix it, this is a fine app and I want to use it.

16. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    More options. The app does as it says, but there no options for ac/heat repair or service. There should be a option to add options.

17. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Ads?. There’s no way to get rid of ads. I can’t use the app for that simple reason. Otherwise, it may serve others well.

18. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Good app to track car maintenance. I used it to enter information on my car and service records. Pretty simple to use. Has the features I need.

19. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Simple and straight forward. Very simple and easy to use. That said, it would be nice to attach photos of the service and/or the receipt. Before/after photos when applicable.

20. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Great Car Maintenance app!. Have been using this app for a while and love it! Very user friendly

21. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Great app!!!. Great app. Easy to use. I keep track off all maintenance on my entire family’s vehicles. Great options to check for just regularly maintenance or if you’re a DIY mechanic. I love this app. I’ve had it for years.

22. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Best App I have Found. I have tried just about every mileage / maintenance tracker in the App Store and this one has been my favorite. It’s simple enough to use consistently but full featured. I would like to see the option to go ad-free, but honestly the ads are not intrusive as it’s just a small portion on the bottom of the screen.

23. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Third time is the charm. I had another app that was very complicated and didn’t sync between devices. I liked it ok. Then, I searched for another and added all of the data from the previous one. It was very complicated and didn’t save the data when I asked it to. I could never figure out how to make it work This is actually the fourth try, but three today. This is exactly what I wanted. Simple with a place to store important info in chronological order. I don’t need to be reminded about routine maintenance, but I do want every detail to be recorded…every issue that goes wrong, every fender bender. Thank you to Larry for reading my mind. Bu the way, I am using it for trailers and golf carts also.

24. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    A lifesaver!. A great way for a busy family with multiple cars to keep track of service and repairs!

25. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Awesome. Fast easy and convenient. This app is great.

26. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Items to consider. Would help to have spots to add oil and air filter numbers perhaps 3 of each. Currently I put them in the notes

27. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Multiple vehicles. I like this app a lot I have four vehicles to maintain and its so easy to check what work got done on all of my vehicles. It’s very user friendly. Well done!!!

28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Good help. It is good, helpfully software. But I’d like to be able add service items, for example brake fluid change.

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great app. Works perfect for what I need

30. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Oh so simple. I like the simplicity of the app but one more thing I would like to have in a vehicle log is the ability to add images of invoices and receipts.
