Money grabber

I understand it’s a free to download app, but the fact you have to pay to even see a “feed”….. that’s just straight up buns. Was going to use this for when I go down to the south over the winter but immediately deleted my account and I’ll just use Facebook and other apps. Waste of time. DO NOT DOWNLOAD

Hey Mhrinks, DM us on IG or facebook, we'd love to assist!

Requires lengthy sign up but need to pay to use…

Why require a user to signup and waste our time and end up needing to pay or risk getting a trial. I anonymous (no signup required) free preview would be great. Why would we want to pay or risk forgetting to cancel subscription for something we don’t get a quick preview of… give us a preview of your app’s capability before forcing us on getting a trial

Hi Andrew0006, Thank you for your honest feedback. We understand your concern and appreciate you sharing it. Account creation helps us protect the community and reduce fake profiles, but we understand the value of being able to explore before committing. We'll share your suggestion for an anonymous preview or limited guest experience with our team as we continue improving the app.

Good app

The app is great. You can share routes and post and it has a navigation feature, but it would be better if they had option where people could post pictures of the or show the street view of the route too. I get that they don’t want to give a bad experience but a ad version would be give a option for people who don’t want to pay, but also if you have a few bucks laying around and you’re willing to pay its worth it for any person who’s a car enthusiasts.

Hi Lacerer, We really appreciate the review! We're glad you're enjoying the app. We continuously make improvements and updates to the app so please keep checking back in with us!

Money grab

It’s a money grab. Can’t even look at the app without making an account and giving them money. It’d be one thing if a yearly subscription was 10-20 bucks but at 50 it’s just a joke. It’s a shame because an app like this would greatly improve the car community, it can be so difficult to find meets these days but it’s not impossible if you’re willing to spend an hour on instagram and facebook. You say you charge so much because you want to make the app a good experience but it looks like it was made with chatgpt.

Chatgpt LOL, RonJohnDon, We have been developing the app for 6 years far before chatGPT was thing. These apps take time and design work, we have put a lot of care into this app and the car community. We listen to our members/non-members and constantly make updates and improvements. We are so much more than a car show finder, we have tools for enthusiasts and event organizers alike. We bring value and we have a price for that value, thanks and all the best.

Money grab

I got this expecting there to be some type of thing i have to buy to use all the features thats expected with apps like this. But to even have a account on here and use the app you have to buy their membership when this is supposed to be about bringing the car community together and make it easier to meet other car enthusiasts but instead you trying to take our money when these meets are free and already posted somewhere for free. This app is a money grab and whoever made this app is an embarrassment to the car community just tryna make some money of everyone instead of bringing them together. Maybe make a free version or no subscription needed. No one wants to pay to see a free car meet that was already posted on instagram for free ten times.

Hi Depressed Kid Now, GarageApp is much more than a car show finder. We have tools such as event & group management, event guestlists, routes to drive and create with friends, connect with members near you with similar vehicles, and so much more with even more coming. We are centralizing the car community as enthusiasts and lovers of cars ourselves we were sick of going every which way to find information and wanted a place we could call our own so we built a community. The payment model is 100 percent best for our users, for 5.99 a month you receive zero ads that ruin your experience, all our users are verified real this way as well NO BOTS! We hate that you chose to leave a review like this without even reaching out to us. We would love to assist and answer any questions you may have. Reach out to us on IG or helpdesk if you need questions answered or assistance.

Free but paid

Claims the app is free but demands payment and will not let you use otherwise

Paywall

Just to use the app u gotta pay

So easy to use and so much to see

After having this app for a couple months now I can confidently say it’s one of my new favorite apps. It’s so easy to use, packed with tons of different cars/motorcycles and events, and so many people to reach out to. I can scroll for hours! Highly recommend downloading this app if you’re looking for anything car/motorcycle related!!

Thank you for your review

Just didn’t want to pay

I wish I count have options pay or not. But just with 3 days won’t help me at all.

2 stars

Seems like a good app but you have to pay just to use it to find meets

everything is behind a paywall.

i love cars and the idea of this app but i think it’s greedy to make people make an account just for everything to be behind a paywall…it’s selfish.

Paywall

Made my account and wasted my time because they force you to pay to do anything without letting you know ahead of time. don’t waste your time or money please.

Waste of time

Sign up for 15 minutes than reach a paywall, just like every other app that says it’s free, and to the developer, please do not respond to this review saying “oh we had to make it cost money to take away adds”, cause please, don’t waste our time and just make the app cost money on the first place. Unless you wanna spend money on an app you don’t even know is good or not yet, then please, don’t waste your time and keep scrolling to find a different one.

Hello EvanReview14, We understand your frustration. The paywall is set in place to ensure our users are serious car enthusiasts and to make sure our user experience isn't tainted by ads (sorry but that is a big problem). The app was free initially for 5 years. We are business providing true value to our users through our event management, group management, routes, and connection features. We hope one day you will give us another change as GarageApp has much more in store value-wise for our users in the future. Thank you and please reach out to helpdesk if you have any questions or concerns.

Why even make this app with a paywall

No point in even getting this app when you have to pay to see anything💀extremely pointless nobody want to pay just to find locations dog

Poor process

Makes you do a whole sign up process which took like 5-10 minutes because of extra things you need to include that are required but should be optional. Like your car make and model, pics or videos of your car, why you wanna use the app, what's special about the car, and after all that, you can't access ANYTHING unless you buy a subscription.

Why pay for this app when IG is free?

Cool concept and I’d love to use it, but this is basically a social media app specifically for car guys. Why pay for this when the same information on shows, cruises, and GTGs is free on IG?

My favorite car app

This car app is amazing. I’ve met so many other BMW drivers in my area because of this app and I haven’t missed any car shows because of the apps constant update on car shows in my area. I highly recommend it to car people who are looking to join events and meet new drivers!

Hello Ollie123466789, we really appreciate the kind words and your 5 star review! Glad you are enjoying the app and we hope to see you at some car shows in the future! Please reach out to helpdesk if you need anything!

Needs to be free w/ ads

Guys, I know it’s 2026 and everything is a hustle, but locking your whole experience behind a paywall is not the move. At minimum give a free plan that has ads. I’m not paying $50/yr to find events that are not always free themselves. The $50/yr MIGHT be worth it if the application membership could grant access to paid events, but even then it’s a stretch.

Many passionate community-driven car guys (and gals) are broke already given the expensive nature of this hobby. We don’t need another expense here.

Do better.

Hello lemonator7, we have a 3 day free trial cancel at anytime period. We also did not want our users to have a terrible experience with ads. We are looking into ways to provide our users with even more value in the near future, we would love for you to come back and give us a shot. We have some really cool features such as search by make and model, event guestlists, create & drive routes with friends, and so much more coming! Thank you and please reach out to helpdesk if you need anything!

TERRIBLE APP

Do not get the app unless you want to pay to use it. I cant even delete my account because the app is unusable unless you pay the monthly fee.

Response from developer

Hello, we're confused we have multiple ways to delete your account. Plus you can reach out to us on socials, helpdesk, and in app. We'd love to help you out so please let us know! Sorry for any issue this has caused.

Terrible

Downloaded the app and couldn’t make it past create an account screen. The app asked that I write a 3000 character bio about myself… like seriously? I like cars, period. What more do you need to know. Not worth my time.
