Great app still could do more

This is a great app for keeping everything easy to find. I do wish the models were listed better and easier to find. Also I know there’s millions of different models etc but seeing this keep growing thanks to the user is great. I do also think some of the photos could use better information. I hope to see more expansions of the brake release section also. I would love to see some integration of tow spec type information also to make this a great tow app.

Outdated pointless app

Waste off £7, only has a very small selection of cars, which are old cars and most people know how to unlock them anyway.
The App is very poorly built and has screenshots of what people have uploaded themselves, doesn’t even have many cars on the app and your better off just googling the unlocks!

Has the potential

Needs a bit of tidying up, will see how it progresses.

Should be a standard photo from above of the gear stick/lever/buttons showing the transmission when looking though the thumbnails so it is easier to find the transmission you’re working with.

Should be clear names of vehicles in thumbnails or underneath/above thumbnails to find vehicle you’re looking for.

If this makes the difference just once in a situation where I was never going to find the answer, it will be worth more than I paid.

I’m from NZ and most common Ute is Ford Ranger, but can’t find the latest model (released last year) on this app. Hoping it’ll be there soon. Thanks

Not all models

Its useful if the make and model is in the app but alot of the times when i needed it that model wasn’t on here i think its over priced

No function

I work all day, Tow Truck Operator. Day one of my guys tell use this app is good. Ok, I try more 8 time en different locations for emergencies autos and SUV but no have nothing.

AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Had a little glitch and Mark was very quick to help diagnose my issue. Works great now. Thank you for the excellent customer service. Replied right away each time !

Not worthy of a paid app

Most of the time info simply isn’t there. A lot of the posts have no explanation and appear to be user submitted. If it was free it would be fine but it’s not worth 10$

It’s okay

More updates would be great, since manufacturers change things often. Too often I have to Google or YouTube because there is a lack of models and model years in this app. Wouldn’t bother me if it was a free app, but a paid app should be better.

Update: Over a year after my review, the developer finally responded, claiming “if it has a release, it’s published.”
Blatantly not true.

Mark, if you’re going to lie, at least charge less.
If you’re going to charge, then just be honest.

Response from developer

We have over 500 models listed. Some vehicle manufacturers do not have a release. We cannot publish what does not exist. If it has a release, it’s in the app.

Amateur hour

Looks like its done by a guy who repo’s out of a single wide… horrible pictures, missing data, year, makes, models and a ton of instructions!

Great

Going to advertise the app on my Repo TikTok hopefully it blows up

Response from developer

Thank You!!
