### 1/5 — Personalized tag link

*2019-03-12, version 3.0.11*

The personalize tag link does not work, as well as a few of the offsite links.

### 1/5 — Renew tags

*2019-02-01, version 3.0.11*

Why can’t you renew tags on this site? It is the DMV App!!

### 1/5 — Need working on

*2018-12-29, version 3.0.11*

The personalized tag part does not work at all. Fix it!

### 1/5 — Issues with personalized tag

*2018-04-06, version 3.0.11*

Was working okay til some update. Ugh!!

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2015-07-24, version 3.0.5*

The app crashes every time I open it.  Finally got to the "locate dmv" without a crash, and it gave me information I already knew. Deleted the app after 5 minutes

### 1/5 — Crashes when clicking Personalize tag...every time

*2015-06-24, version 3.0.5*

App stinks. Just downloaded & tried several times clicking on Personalize tag. 5 of 5 times the app crashed. Going to delete. 0 stars. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Alabama MVD

*2015-06-05, version 3.0.5*

This app worked ok but has since gone on the fritz and has had constant failures. The problems I've had have been with the personalized tag section. When selecting Personalized Tag, it kicks you out of the app. I've tried rebooting and reloading with no change. I've tried it on different devices with the same results. Everything works correctly if you go to the actual web site.

### 2/5 — updates?

*2014-09-15, version 2.7*

When will this app be updated with new tag designs? Many tags displayed are old styles. Also, the app will say a tag is available, but when linked to the website you're then confronted with an alert that  says a tag ISN'T available.

### 1/5 — DOESN'T WORK!!! 👎👎👎

*2014-09-03, version 2.7*

This app hasn't worked in a year or more but there appears to be little concern from the AL DOT. Regardless of what combination of characters I input to check for availability for a personalized tag it always says every choice is available when I know they're not based on the website check. This has to be causing drivers big headaches when they find out weeks later that the personalized tag they've been waiting so long for isn't even available!!! Sad, sad, sad!!!

### 4/5 — A good start

*2014-07-30, version 2.6*

This app does allow the user to visualize how a particular specimen of one of Alabama's numerous license plates would appear and to locate the closest motor-vehicle-licensing agency.  One star has been deducted because of the absence of certain tag varieties (e.g., amateur radio) and the broken app page for "forms".  These issues will presumably be addressed in a later version.
