### 3/5 — My overview

*2024-12-22*

Overall it’s a good concept, however there are some limitations, 90% of my photos I post get rejected (even though the car is clear in the photo and the descriptions are correct, rather frustrating when you put time into something like this where you can only add one photo at a time.

The AI that identifies the car does struggle almost always, for example apparently a 675LT is a Pagani Huayra and a triumph stag was a 250GTO🤷‍♂️

Some features that I would love to see include, mass uploads, some sort of catalog where you can document the cars you have seen (almost like a checklist) and also monitoring the quantity of each model I have seen. 

I’m not sure if videos are postable currently, but they should be as this would provide further engagement with app users.

With some small tweaks this app has the potential to be the ultimate app for the car community.

### 2/5 — To many ads constantly

*2024-11-24*

There’s way to many ads
