So far So Good

Havent had any issues. But I wish it had additional information to add to app. Fuel Grade Vendor Category Notes

Best app for what it does but comes with a learning curve and some problems

If youre looking to keep track of fuel and service for multiple cars than look no further than this app. The app is capable of doing a lot and for that reason can be a bit daunting but if you take the time to figure out what it can do you can really keep good track of your car. The big issue I have with the app is its terrible syncing. I had months of data stored in this app and had been syncing it to iCloud. I restored my phone and tried to get the data back from iCloud and the app had somehow lost all of the data. This is obviously very frustrating. Be careful and remember to sync your data regularly and use Dropbox if possible.

Cumbersome

Entering data is cumbersome. The date always defaults to today, even after entering data for many tasks for another date. Each individual task performed on a date, such as change oil and replace oil filter, must be entered separately, and because they are on different task group pages, you end up going back and forth between pages to enter data. You cannot enter more than one task per entry, so you have to re-enter the date and odometer over and over and over because no one just changes the oil, or just the oil filter, you typically do both at the same time, and several other things on the same date and odometer setting. The date wheels do not roll over at the ends, so you have to scroll through the entire month if it is the 1st and you want the 31st, same with the month wheel.

Clean interface

Newer user for gas log. Like the clean and elegant interface. Will use other features as I move over maintenance. I would like to see the following update: multiple backups in Dropbox (dont overwrite previous and allow picking desired backup for restoration).

Almost perfect

I love this app… it is one feature and one nit-picky thing away from a 5/5. I would like to see a Map View feature in this app, so I know when/where I got gas or performed a service. Also, I would like an place to make annotations when I enter a service or fill the fuel tank. I like to keep record of what brand of fuel and what octane rating I am purchasing. Very solid app though!!!!

One of the better...

vehicle maintenance apps Ive tried. Nice, clean interface. NOTE: I only use this app for logging my personal fuel consumption thus I cant speak for any other feature.

Very difficult for service records

This app looks nice but its too difficult to enter data with its many required fields. Its more of a glorified database then a useful companion to your cars service records.

currency option

This is a very nice app for tracking everything about your cars. If it could have a Currency Option, it will be great!

Just started to use.

Entering fill up information is going ok. After reading reviews Im reluctant to enter my service information but I will give it a try.

Great 5 Star App...But;

I have requested support on Auto Care on major issues I encountered. Regrettably, no response from customer service to date. Auto Care: “1 STAR” - (S/B 5 Stars - See 3 Major Issues Below). PROs: Excellent application for tracking you vehicles Auto Maintenance & Fuel/Mileage. Has preconfigured Service Types and allow you to add your own Custom Service Types. Excellent options for Printing Reports and EZ to use application. Great iCloud or Drop Box backup choices.... They work!! Once you spend the hours/days to configure and enter all your vehicle records, it is almost a sweet application, ........But; CONS - (3 Major application issues): [1] Any “Observations (notes) entered for a Service Type Record are never printed onto the reports: For example; my Observation (note): “Tire wear uneven” or any of my Observations entered never print. [2] Major Issue with Auto Care: Any Service Type Records which contains an “Observation” entry, Will Not Be Backed Up by Auto Care. In fact any record with a Observation note just vanishes from the data base???? [3] Can not be use on multiple devices due to the loss of all record(s) with Observation entries. I have email developers and no response. I even sent this Review before posting to see if they want their 5 Stars. So unless the developers fix major issues 1 & 2 (making #3 multi-device feature useless); save your $$$ and Keep looking for an application that does not delete or loose numerous data records and prints your notations.

Room for improvement

App lets you track all kinds of data, but you cant add any notes to your entries or just a note in general.

Great app

In my opinion the app is great. One thing i with it had was push notifications so that it would pop up when I need an oil change. It gives you the option for alerts but you have to be on the app and actually click on it. Other than that I love how Im able to see how much I spend in gas every month and how my mpg look. Makes me drive more conservative to save as much as I can on gas.

Very good, but needs more refinements

I choose this app because it has a good graphics, simple, and icons for services are well defined. However, I wish theres more icons for other service of a vehicle. Also, in the "Alerts" area; you should be able to see the most upcoming service that is due. And most important thing it should be able to add more info in the vehicle data section not just the basic info a vehicle. Other than that this app has a excellent potential.

Neat design in a poor app

The graphic design is flawless, very well though spacing, color, typography and so on. Graphics and reports are 5 star too. The major problem and why it is useless to me is the reminders for car maintenance. If you are a little car maintenance literate, there are factory recommended times to not only PAY for a repair, but have an INSPECTION. There is no option to set this up, and no way to see all the maintenance required in the future at once. This app is perfect for keeping records of what u pay.

Great design . . but lacking a few items

This app has a great design, but as others have mentioned there should be a way to set up automatic reminders of manufacturer scheduled maintenance, also I find the iCloud syncing is not working (I will email the developers on this). I have it set up and tested the restore feature to my iPad and my iPhone and neither one received the data. Too late for a refund.

How do I import data?

I don’t see any way to import my mileage data from other competing programs (Gas Cubby, etc). There’s no (obvious) way to do this in the app, and there’s no documentation on the developer’s website. So this app really doesn’t have any usefulness for people who have been tracking mileage before buying this app. Hopefully this will change in the app in the future.

Apps great but needs

Apps great but I wish there was a way to input location or name of where the service was offered as well as store receipts of purchase I am terrible of keeping up with them

Like the app but needs work

App does the main things I wanted it to do, keep track of my fuel economy and track maintenance. I would like it to not be mandatory to enter the cost of maintenances. Also it would be nice to enter how often you want to perform services (oil change every 3000 miles for example) instead of figuring out your next mileage for an oil change after every service is completed.

2+ years running

I love this app. Other reviewers point out some possible improvements, such as push notifications. I tried every other mpg, maintenance, auto info tracker and this is by far the best. Great look and interface, too!

Great UI, lots of options, alerts need work

Changed from another app (very clunky app, basic services and graphics); love the UI, and list of services. Biggest problem is that the Alerts function does not notify user of any alerts outside of the currently displayed vehicle.
