Ratings and reviews

It will keep track of records just fine, but so does a notepad. What is irritating with this app is that every single time you open it, you need to send a verification email and verify. Then, when you open history to check your last service, send another verification and have to verify it. Then click add service, verify yet again. Has been this way since I installed it a long time ago. Never any better.

Mixed. I like being able to track fuel usage / mileage. Issue #1 - I was not able to add my license plate to the record. The screen came up and let me enter stuff in. The Check ✔️ icon did nothing and just closing it would not save information. Related - The Lic State function did work. Issue #2 - I wanted to add Alternator Replacement. It was listed as an option. It would NOT let me add it as an expense. Issue 3 - It keeps saying e-mail not verified. I go thru the routine and still not V'd.

Used to be a great application with very little issues. Now, it seems as if updates created bugs. The email verification every time the page is refreshed is annoying. 2nd, after updating vehicle service information (DIY), it will not save and will not appear on history. Changes on service intervals will not save either. If these bugs get fixed or look into, it would make the app easier to use once again. I can't trust the app to keep the service information saved. Now I have to keep screenshots.
