Ratings and reviews

This app has been excellent until the latest update. I now can't enter registration numbers. After the first two digits it inserts a gap which puts all subsequent digits out of sync, which now renders the app unusable. Tried uninstalling and re-installing, but no luck. Will now have to use a different app. Shame.

Now having issues inputting registration numbers. Enter the first digit fine. Enter a number and it only allows one number then forces more letters. Won't let me input further numbers so eg P1 ZZZ is fine, P11 ZZZ I can't do as it won't let me input the second 1. I didn't mean to 1* it as it has been great until last update. 5* app for when it works

What have u done to the app!! It was the best car check app out there, but u have gone and ruined it by getting greedy 😒 I loved keeping an eye on all my old cars for FREE. I'd have happily put up with ads, but I refuse to spend a single penny on any app.
