App hilfreich.

### 3/5 — Was ich nicht gut finde und was ich besser fände:

*2023-02-20*

Was ich nicht gut finde:
1. Ich kann nicht mehr als drei Favoriten anlegen.
2. Es kosten Dinge Geld.
3. Geht es nur für Deutschland
Was ich besser fände:
1. Wenn man ganze Nummernschilder eingibt ich dann sehen kann wer diesen Nummernschild hat.
2. Wenn man mehr als drei Favoriten einstellen könnte
3. Wenn alles wirklich kostenlos wäre
4. Wenn es auch für andere Länder gehen würde

### 5/5 — Einfach super

*2022-02-25*

Das waren die best-ausgegebenen 2 Euro jemals für eine App! Bei so etwas kauft man gerne und freiwillig die Pro-Version.
- Werbefrei und voll nutzbar ohne Kauf
- Abgelaufene und aktuelle Kennzeichen suchbar
- Verweis auf aktive Kennzeichen desselben Bezirks
- Tolle Zusatzfeatures mit Kauf
- Interaktive Karte, mit Auswahlmöglichkeit „was wohnt hier“

Ich bin begeistert.

### 1/5 — Da muss noch nachbessern.

LF ist nicht AÖ sonder BGL. Gleich beim ersten Versuch ein Fehler.
