Unfortunately this is not the place to find cool events because this app is merely a money grab. There are plenty of places to find car meets without having to pay $50 per year. I am aware that there are other functions to the app but as far as the route sharing goes that is something you can just as easily do by looking at a map. Moral of the story is that you don’t need to pay to see cool cars and be in the community. This is not why car culture exists. The whole purpose of the community is to support people and make them feel welcomed so that we can project a better image to other motorists and people. ### 4/5 — Good app *2026-07-25, version 2.1.5* 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. ### 1/5 — Free but paid *2026-07-15, version 2.1.5* Claims the app is free but demands payment and will not let you use otherwise ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-07-15, version 2.1.5* Just to use the app u gotta pay ### 2/5 — Just didn’t want to pay *2026-07-07, version 2.1.4* I wish I count have options pay or not. But just with 3 days won’t help me at all. ### 2/5 — 2 stars *2026-07-05, version 2.1.4* Seems like a good app but you have to pay just to use it to find meets ### 1/5 — everything is behind a paywall. *2026-07-03, version 2.1.4* 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. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-06-25, version 2.1.3* 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. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-06-24, version 2.1.3* 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. ### 1/5 — Why even make this app with a paywall *2026-06-24, version 2.1.3* 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 ### 2/5 — Poor process *2026-06-10, version 2.1.2* 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. ### 2/5 — Why pay for this app when IG is free? *2026-06-06, version 2.1.2* 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? ### 3/5 — Needs to be free w/ ads *2026-06-05, version 2.1.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-05-31, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Have to pay *2026-05-29, version 2.1.1* Makes you spend 10 minutes making an account just to immediately lock you into a paywall where you can’t access anything unless you spend money not worth it at all for something insta ai can do in seconds. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-08-21, version 2.1.7* Absolute waste of time can’t even do anything without paying to see the feed. be for real everything now you have to pay for can’t we just have one nice thing in the car community without people leaching off of it ### 1/5 — Dumb *2026-08-20, version 2.1.7* Download this app after seeing a post on instagram only to be severely disappointed. I go through the process of creating an account, adding my car and its details. Only to be hit with a “if you want to use this app you have to pay”. ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-08-13, version 2.1.6* You haft to buy a monthly membership to even use it, just like every other app. Would not recommend ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-12, version 2.1.6* Trash! First they make you sign in with all sorts of information then they try to charge you a fee just to see if they’re any events around🤦🏽‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time. *2026-08-08, version 2.1.6* The registration process is complicated and stupid, and at the end, they issue an invoice without even letting you explore the features and capabilities. ### 1/5 — Vibe coded ai slop *2026-07-30, version 2.1.5* One of the worst experiences when onboarding when I first got on the app. I then tried to pay for the free trial and for some reason payment via Apple Pay and even card information would not work ### 1/5 — Money grabber *2026-07-30, version 2.1.5* 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 ### 1/5 — Requires lengthy sign up but need to pay to use… *2026-07-26, version 2.1.5* 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 ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-07-22, version 2.1.5* 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. ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-07-18, version 2.1.5* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great potential *2026-08-04, version 2.1.6* Like with any app you have to get familiar with the layout. I see where this is going and I like it. For less than a coffee I can have an app without these *%#$& ads so well worth it. I see comments of people who think a couple of bucks is too much to pay and these are the same people getting loans to tune their cars or pay $30 for a burger at a car meet.This is why I am writing a review. I like where this app is going!!! Keep it up guys! ### 5/5 — So easy to use and so much to see *2026-07-12, version 2.1.5* 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!! ### 5/5 — My favorite car app *2026-06-05, version 2.1.2* 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! ### 5/5 — TERRIBLE APP *2026-05-31, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-27, version 2.1.1* Love this app and the features. Love the ability to find car events and connect with other enthusiasts. Met other Mini cooper owner and even went to events with them.
