### 5/5 — Very good!

*2026-08-24*

Its just an awesome timekiller

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-23*

Literally just an amazing app. It’s so fun and can’t believe it’s free and made by a solo dev. Such a hidden gem in the App Store!

### 5/5 — 5 STARS!!!!!

*2026-08-21*

It is made for anyone wether your a card nerd or just a beginner. It is very fun and interesting for everyone. The AI scanner is very accurate and I have only been playing it for about a day and I would rate this any EASY 5 STARS any day. It’s original and I would HIGHLY recommend it!

### 5/5 — This game makes seeing any random car a blast

*2026-08-20*

I’ve always been a big fan of spotting and learning about cars and this game is incredible for not only keeping track but making finding new cars, cool or common, a boatload of fun. Great stuff team

### 4/5 — Cool app

*2026-08-18*

The AI they use to figure out the car or truck type is accurate enough in most cases. Every now and then it would get the car brand and model wayyyyy wrong but over all it’s mostly accurate. (Keeps confusing Mustang dark horse for the Mustang GTD, thought an eco boost Mustang was some sort of Mercedes) to get rid of that problem make sure to take really good pictures or the AI will get tripped up.

### 5/5 — MotorDex is exactly what I’ve been looking for

*2026-08-18*

I’ve always loved going to shows and spotting awesome cars but MotorDex brings my hobby to another level. Gamifying this experience has  been an awesome daily activity with my friends.

### 5/5 — Frame

*2026-08-17*

I wish the picture frame when your scanning the car could be a little bit taller so when your uploading an old photo you dont have to choose what part of the car you are putting in.

### 3/5 — Limited fun

*2026-08-16*

I love the idea of this app but a monthly subscription for this app (or 30€ lifetime) is not worth it in my option. 10-15€ lifetime would be the absolute most I would pay.

Also it does not recognize German branded vehicles that well. I know, the difference between the Audis A S and RS ist that much but editing a scan would be handy.

### 5/5 — Very very cool

*2026-08-16*

Very good game but would be better if there was a shop maybe or something where you could drive your cars around furthermore if you just take a photo of a picture of a car and not in real life it works obviously I deleted it as it is not in the spirit of the game try and fix this

### 2/5 — Good app, but misleading

*2026-08-16*

I think it’s a good app and of course they need some stream of income to not only keep it up on the App Store but use the ai detection as well, but I think it’s somewhat scummy they don’t tell users that they’re basically on a free trial until they hit 100, and 100 doesn’t take long to hit. I was having fun, spotting cars I’d see at shows and in the wild and suddenly I had to pony up either $3 a month or $25 forever. While not huge sums of money it’s (in my opinion) asking too much from people for a car spotting game and not a good practice to suddenly state that users have to pay once they hit a certain number. As stated previously, these apps understandably need to make money to continue operating, but there are different and better ways to make it. I’m sure there’s a good bit of people who’d be fine with donating money, or locking additional features behind a paywall, but the fact that it’s basically unplayable past 100 cars (unless you delete cars you’ve spotted, but what’s the point of doing that?) is a good way to drive users off of your app. It was fun for a while, but now I feel like I’ve wasted my time on this app

TLDR: Good app, but the fact that it’s a free trial game without telling users isn’t a good thing to do

RIP THE PACK
Batch and burst imports now take over the scan screen and finish as a sealed MotorDex card pack. Tear it open and your new cards slide out onto the board.

FIXES
- Fixed duplicate cards appearing from the same photo. Re-importing shots you've already caught no longer mints them twice.

- Batch and burst keep running in the background while you browse the rest of the app.

• You can now change your @handle in Settings → Profile.
• Your license badges stay put instead of reshuffling on their own.
• Cleaner filter menu in the Dex.
• Faster leaderboard.
• Catalog fixes: classic and modern cars that share a name (Charger, Maverick, Escort, 124 Spider, Land Cruiser) are now clearly labeled and no longer mix each other up.

• Plenty of smaller polish and fixes throughout

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-17

The dex just got HUGE — plus a big quality-of-life update:
• 200+ new cars added to the dex — deep cuts, classics, and legends to hunt
• Way smoother page swiping — SCAN and MAP no longer flash blank mid-swipe
• Feed glow-up: cleaner cells, star a friend's catch, sharper photos, profile pictures, and a friend leaderboard
• Private notes on your cards — the story behind every catch
• New serial tags on every card (F40-0005 style)
• Spot a car we don't have? One tap requests it — most-wanted cars get added first
• Save your scan photo to your camera roll, even if the scan misses
• Batch import fixed for Pro spotters
