Efficient and consistent photos

This, dealer only app, is an excellent tool to seamlessly photograph your inventory with handy tools like wire frames, background removal, virtual booth and tonnes of customisations.

Our inexperienced team have been able to get cars online consistently and much faster than waiting for an onsite photographer.

Saves time, gets cars online faster and customers really like engaging with it.

Good when working

Works fine most of the time.
Latest update crashes if you attempt to select a specific photo to take, making it unusable on iPhone 7 pro.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. A fix addressing this behavior is coming in the next release. 7.21.0. You should see the option to update to this shortly.

Worst app possible

No app can even come close to how horrible this app is

Great Ideas, Bad UX/UI

-GOOD-
360 external spins.
Internal 360
Inventory search
Manual camera mode especially manual focus function.
Background uploads.

-BAD-;
Unclear documentations, some FAQs are missing their PDFs.

UI, some of the icons in camera mode are in grey and not very visible.

UX, you’d need to be VERY intuitive to use this because the flow makes zero sense.

(You’d have to go to Close-Ups, then Camera then only you have access to Damage capture).

Camera, the app cannot fully utilise the native camera functions (at least on iPhone14ProMax) where you lose the ability to focus close-ups on 1X & 2X cameras.

Bluetooth, does not work with Ricoh Theta via BT, MUST be Wifi-connected and you have to pause background uploads.

Slow uploads at random.

Not fully automated, you still have to manually select what angles you’re shooting at because their AI cannot recognise photo angles. On top of that, any additional angles you add will mess up your angles list and will kick your SRP down from top-spot, so your hotspots may not work.

Support team that’s not helpful. Have not been able to solve any of my issues above. There is no error logging so you cannot tell them what’s wrong and they cannot tell you what’s wrong.

-OVERALL-
Cool concept but the result isn’t worth the trouble.

App crashes

I’m the latest update and the latest software on my iPhone 11 Pro Max and the App crashes every time I’m trying to upload my photos. I reached out to the support team and all that they can say is delete and reinstall the App. I try doing that multiple times and STILL the App crashes. Very bad support team and don’t take this problem seriously.

Can someone Fix this!!!!!

Excellent company and great app

Easy to use and operate. My photos and videos of vehicles look great.

Poorest quality app.

This is sad the bugs in the app are everywhere in every function. Can we get back to spincar? Ever since impel took over the app quality has gone down down down down! It literally melted parts of my iPhone 13 from the app running it so hot. Apple said they were planning on removing the app unless it improved. Please remove this app or fix it

Buggy

Latest update crashes often when uploading and when it crashes it shows photos as uploaded even though they don’t appear on the site.
