### 2/5 — Another subscription

*2025-10-22*

Wish there was a free option or at least an upfront cost rather than a monthly subscription. Additionally this looks like a cop’s wonderland. “Let me post my reckless driving speeds for everyone to see when/where AND the car I drive!”

### 1/5 — $5 a month???

*2025-09-05*

This is quite a steep price for an app that has the potential to have information used against you, tracking speed and data? This looks like it encourages speeding as well. How else are you capturing top speeds? What happens when you get into an accident, can the insurance use this information as evidence? Can law enforcement access this data? Can they subpoena this app? Too much to risk!

### 5/5 — 1

*2025-08-13*

Worth getting the app if you are into cars. 

Creator of the app is very active and responsive along with the community is very open and friendly.

### 4/5 — Love it! But..

*2025-08-12*

I love the app so far, the only thing that I’ve noticed is it won’t track unless the app is open on my phone screen. Wish it came with a GPS so I didn’t have to leave the app, or wish it tracked whilst the app is running in the background.

### 5/5 — Best Car App Out There

*2025-07-31*

One of the best car apps out there! It’s so cool to be able to check out other people’s cars and garages, as well as live track with friends. If you’re a car person, definitely get this app! It costs a small amount  to use, but in my opinion it’s 100% worth it. It’s such a small price for the coolest features!

### 5/5 — Top speed Stats

*2025-07-30*

Love the top speed leaderboard, this app really makes it fun to socialize with other drivers while adding a competitive element to the road. Excited to see all the new elements that will be rolled out. Haven’t found anything like this in the car community yet!

### 5/5 — One of a kind app

*2025-07-30*

hop on this early while you can, this app is amazing. perfect for cruising with your friends, keeping track of the convoy, and competing for speed records and drive length. the creator is super passionate about the community, and absolutely has this niche app in the perfect place.

### 2/5 — Idea of the app is dope

*2025-07-29*

most of us car people, (the people you are trying to reach) are trying to save up money to build their car and not pay a monthly subscription to even use an app. 

The idea of this app is awesome and I really think it would be popular in the car community if you didn’t have to pay to get anything out of it.  

I recommend adding some free features like maybe just being able to see location and speed & making a car profile but not being able to add mods or have the top speed rankings available unless you pay for the premium version. Just an idea.

### 1/5 — Quick cash grab. No free tier available

*2025-07-27*

Not against paying for software, but cmon all of the data is already orchestrated on your device, this doesn’t cost them so much to run that they couldn’t even develop a free tier so I can test it and see if it’s to my liking. And if you say it has a free trial available, then yes for 3 days they have it, but they prey on the fact that you will forget about that. Quick cash grab is all I see.

**Developer response:** Hi FaurLuca,

We really appreciate your honest feedback. We understand the frustration around not having a completely free tier, it’s something we’ve gone back and forth on a lot. While some features do run locally, others require backend support and infrastructure that incur ongoing costs.

That said, your point about the free trial is valid, a short trial isn’t always enough, and we’re actively exploring ways to offer a longer or more flexible experience for users to test things out without pressure.

Our goal isn’t a cash grab it’s to build a sustainable, high-quality experience for car enthusiasts. Your feedback helps us do that, and we hope to earn another chance in the future.

### 5/5 — Super fun app for cruising with friends

*2025-07-16*

This app is actually really cool. I’ve been using it to track drives with my buddies and it works great—shows everyone’s speed and location in real time, which makes group drives way more fun.
