### 2/5 — App Logs Out when moving phone

*2026-02-16*

I can’t stand how when I scan a VIN number and move my phone to look at it, it logs me out. Extremely annoying! I have to scan the VIN and then carefully wait until it pulls the report before I move the phone. Why on earth would they program it to log you out while moving the phone? Please please fix this bug!

### 1/5 — Log in

*2024-08-16*

Too hard to log in now, have to constantly call my office

### 3/5 — Animation when opening

*2023-09-28*

Animation when opening is annoying and unnecessary. Next update please eliminate so we can get straight to scanning VINs or entering data.

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2023-09-26*

Seems crazy that I can’t print or email the PDF version of the report from the app.

Makes it entirely useless to me.

### 1/5 — Overpriced

*2022-09-16*

Can’t print from the phone and no way send as an email.

### 1/5 — SCANNER WOES

*2022-04-12*

Scanner still doesn’t work all the time. This just isn’t right!  We overpay all this money for Carfax and a lot of the times I can’t scan a vin on a car!  I have to use  any of the free vin scanning apps which marvelously and instantly scan a vin then copy and paste it in to the Carfax app!!!! This has been happening for years. Extremely frustrated.

### 2/5 — Needs update

*2022-03-26*

I LOVE the app… but one huge problem. I have to hand over my phone to customers when showing report.. why no email/print option?!!! It’s been years and no fix. I absolutely hate it. End rant

### 2/5 — No way of printing or emailing

*2021-09-22*

The app works fine, just hate the fact that you can’t print or email it. If you need to show a customer you need to hand them over your phone which I hate the fact of doing that. This needs to get fix and give us that option.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2021-04-30, version 2.4.11*

Keeps crashing and login me out! I don’t have problems on my android phone but on my iPhone every 1 week or so keeps login me out and I lose all my vin number that I did history on them. 

Please fix this so it doesn’t log me out again!

### 1/5 — No print or email option from phone

*2020-10-21*

Works fine with scan, you just can’t print or email the report from phone after. You have to hand your phone over to customer. Stupid option
