Ratings and reviews

Moving from Carango. Wanted to try something different. So far so good. Wish I could track the type of fuel and the station. Once you enter a note you can't edit it or if you forget to enter a note you can't edit the entry. You have to create a new one and enter the note. Also would be nice to be able to import data from other mileage tracking apps.

Excellent way to track all of your vehicle services. You can set anything in here: oil changes and you can set how frequent (3,000 miles or longer) before you need to get an oil change. The only gripe I have is that it adds miles to the car even though you haven't gone anywhere, so I have to reput the miles back. That's why it's 4 stars but this is darn near a perfect FREE app. You can put in the VIN number, license plate number, everything about your car here, even where you got it serviced!

I really like the app, but it has a couple of issues IMO that I just don't understand. Why does the app limit you to fixed choices for service intervals, both mileage and months? If they must do this, there needs to be more choices, especially for the mileage interval. At a minimum, 1000 mile increments, but why not 500? Maybe allow 1 month increments for the time interval.
