    The app is not showing me the OEM list price for any wheel? When I purchased the pro edition there were some features that did not work and some of the features worked, but now they are not working? This app is not living up to its potential!!! I am totally disappointed considering I paid over $200.00 for the “PRO EDITION” WHEELSPOTTER app Thank you for reaching out to me! I have revised my rating to 5 STARS I hope to see some of the changes we talked about to make this a more reliable and efficient app! THANK YOU!

    DEVELOPER RESPONSE #4 Jake6923, if you tap the ABOUT button for your support question, it will be faster for you to receive this answer: tap the user silhouette icon then tap DOWNLOAD DATA NOW under NEW DATA AVAILABLE. DEVELOPER RESPONSE #3 Jake6923, if you tap the ABOUT button for your support question, it will be faster for you to receive this answer: select GENERAL MOTORS EXPRESS 2500 VAN or GENERAL MOTORS SILVERADO 2500 PICKUP. DEVELOPER RESPONSE #2 Jake6923, thank you for the opportunity to address your additional questions. When you chose to start your workflow by taking a photograph of the wheel you wish to identify, the WheelSpotter App visually sorts all 15,000+ wheels in the Hollander Interchange. If your wheel is not in the results, then it is not in the Hollander Interchange or greater than 20 years old. The threshold for EXPENSIVE is user-configurable. Tap MARKET PRICE on the main screen to navigate to the screen where you can see and select the threshold value for what is EXPENSIVE. On any Interchange Number screen, tap SEARCH THE WEB for the latest price of that wheel. When you edit your review (e.g., replacing your original questions with these new questions), the date of your review is automatically updated by the App Store. Regarding your request for new features to be added to the app, these will be taken into consideration, thank you. Our goal is for the app to have the features most demanded by subscribers. And, as always, every subscriber to the WheelSpotter App is offered a three-day free trial so each can evaluate the app and its features before purchasing. DEVELOPER RESPONSE #1 Jake6923, thank you for questions and the opportunity to answer them. The WheelSpotter App contains a database of images for greater than 15,000 wheels and wheel covers (this is so it does not require an internet connection to operate). If each image were made a larger file size, then the device would be required to devote more storage. The WheelSpotter App is already greater than 700 MB in size. The images are equal to or better than the printed images in the no longer published Hollander manual. Some Hollander Interchange numbers are expected to be different than what was published in a Hollander manual. The last manual was published years ago. The WheelSpotter App is always up to date. The WheelSpotter App contains the complete set of wheels and wheel covers in the Hollander Interchange for the past 20 years. If there is a wheel missing, it may not be in the Hollander Interchange or may be older than 20 years. The WheelSpotter App is designed with input from users to be the fastest way to identify a wheel. For many users familiar with the style of a wheel (e.g., know what a 7 Double Spoke style is), the fastest workflow is to filter by style when the style is uncommon. Sometimes, the fastest workflow is to search by the number embossed on the wheel. In some cases (e.g., when the style is common such a 5 Spoke, when the manufacturer logo appears on many wheels such as FORD, and when the wheel is mounted so its width and embossed number is not readily determinable), filtering results in hundreds of possible wheels; in these cases, taking a picture to sort the results visually is the fastest workflow. The fastest workflow depends on the attributes of the wheel and the expertise of the user. Sometimes it is fastest to take a picture. Sometimes it is fastest to filter without taking a picture. There are video examples on WheelSpotter.com.

    I would give it a 5 star but you gotta pay for the app after you already download it for free 😂😂

    Developer Response

    the11cheto, thank you for indicating Wheelspotter is a 5-star app, if it were free. The Limited Edition version of WheelSpotter is free and displays the manufacturer part number or manufacturer ident number embossed on the wheel. It cannot display the Hollander Interchange Number, which is trademarked by the Hollander company, because this version is free. Hollander controls its trademark, the developer of WheelSpotter does not. The Guide Edition or Pro Edition versions of WheelSpotter display the Hollander Interchange Number and require a paid subscription, but each is available as a three-day free trial offer, so one can try them before being charged.

    When I take a picture of a wheel, wheel spotter app doesn’t even come close to matching my wheel! I’ve tried with several wheels and no success. What is the point? Just call this app wheel Hollander guide, because you will have to filter until you find the wheel you are looking for. I have noticed that wheel spotter shows different interchange numbers than the old school Hollander paper book? Picture quality is poor! This is the 21 century, so why can’t you use quality photos? There are many variations and this app does not always show the different examples whether it’s light grey or dark etc… many wheels are not even listed? I can find interchange numbers for many of my wheels, but not confident that they are correct! This app could be so much better than it is! Overall I’m pretty disappointed!
  • Easy ident for wheels

    Great tool for identifying wheels. For more common wheels you may need to use filters to narrow it down, but overall a great product and price point.

    Developer Response

    The WheelSpotter app was developed working closely with users. Thank you for letting us know how well it works for you.
  • Great

    After I used it for a week. I was totally satisfied

    Developer Response

    Glad to hear it, thank you.
  • Missing options and results

    Can’t use the take a picture option for wheel covers. When searching a make (ie toyota) it doesn’t show all the results for wheelcovers.

    Developer Response

    Hi Tmpinol, sorry you expected to be able to use a photo for wheel covers, not solely wheels. We’ve changed to App Store page from “Disclaimer:…Visually sort wheels, not wheel covers…” to “Feature to take a photo and use it to visually sort results works for wheels, not wheel covers” based on your feedback, thank you. Scrolling to the bottom of the Filter screen to change the default from Wheel 560 to Wheel Cover 570 will give results for wheel covers. WheelSpotter is regularly updated with every wheel cover in the latest version of the Hollander Interchange for the last 20 years. If the wheel cover on your Toyota is not in the results, will you please send a photo or data about it to support@partspotter.com? I’ll research why not and let you know. /Joe
