When it was first introduced for iPhone it was the only one that did it all - service, trips, and gas usage - and was also integrated with Pocket Money. But it at least needs an update to use the full screen on the iPhone 5. ### 3/5 — Dropbox overdue *2013-01-01* This is a good, useful app, honestly....but it DESPERATELY needs Dropbox support!!! I mean, the app came out in 2008! I shouldn't have to use syncdocs on a desktop just to update between devices. I would imagine that 4 and a half years is enough time to integrate Dropbox. ### 3/5 — Latest update fixes crashes *2011-04-15* The latest update has fixed the crashing problems from the previous update. I've used this app since the Palm Pilot days. The app does a good job when it's working, but regardless, at $9.99. it feels over priced to me. ### 4/5 — I think there's a problem *2011-04-10, version 1.4.3* After the upgrade I'm not able to include any data to the database, and can't change the info of my car. I'm using a 3G iPhone, and it worked fine until March, 26, the last time I filled the gas tank. Please check to see if there's un unknown bug. ### 3/5 — Love MPG but ... *2010-09-13, version 0* Having been using MPG since the Newton days, I'm sad that the program has now refused to accept any more five digit mileage entries. Now I'll have to figure out how to change everything to a different program. Any recommendations? ### 4/5 — new version won *2010-07-11, version 0* I love this app, but for some reason after I upgraded to the most recent version the app no longer syncs to my iPod Touch (1st Generation). I tell iTunes to sync the app, it starts to and places it in the iPod icon, but then takes it away at the last second. ### 3/5 — Doesn't like ios 4.0 *2010-06-24, version 0* Fix? ### 4/5 — Would be great if . . . *2009-10-06, version 0* Service Reminders showed up even if the app was not active. User could document location (city, state) of service/repair station - in case of bad gasoline. Stats were presented in spreadsheet format for exporting. ### 5/5 — Catamount's MPG rocks on! *2009-06-30* I started using MPG on my Newton over a dozen years ago, migrated to Palm when Newton was killed, and now use it on my iPod Touch. MPG is an outstanding application that I use daily. There is no other auto mileage, expense, maintenance program with the ease of use, nor the intuitive design. Hardy Macia builds outstanding software that tracks the details. MPG is one application not to be missed! ### 5/5 — Solid app that's out lived platforms *2009-04-29* I've used this app on three generations of the Apple Newton, a palm TX, and now on an ipod touch, and I've been able to migrate all my data from each platform to the next (13 years and counting). The same is true for PocketMoney by Catamount, which works beautifully with MPG (you can automatically post your fuel and service transactions to PocketMoney from inside MPG). Hardy Macia, the programmer behind Catamount Software, has provided outstanding support for all his products since he began Catamount a decade and a half ago. Heck, he even still supports his old Newton software, which was orphaned by Apple in 1997. ### 3/5 — Good app *2009-03-27, version 0* I like the interface of gas cubby better, but I think MPG provides more useful information. It would be nice see what my mpg is at a particular gas station. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good if fixed. Doesn't work now. *2013-12-11* I've been happy using this for a few years but now it no longer works and it has been a long time since it was updated - it still isn't designed for the larger iPhone 5 screen. I hope it works soon!! ### 1/5 — Trouble with 7.0.3 software *2013-12-09* This app has been great but is not working with the latest software. No fixes have been posted. If you have 7 software do waste your time and money. ### 1/5 — MPG Worthless *2013-10-13* Great app now worthless - ability to add or rename vehicle services is no longer operating. App has not been updated in over 2 years. ### 1/5 — Lame support never improving *2012-12-29* I liked the app, showed promise, but never updates it. Almost two years since last updated. No way to sync from IPad to IPad II, No support for cloud drive export, and import. Would be nice if it was improved and some of the bugs fixed, I've used it for about nine months now, time to find another program. ### 1/5 — Used to work *2011-04-10, version 1.4.3* This app used to work like a charm. However, after the latest MPG app update this past week, I am unable to view past entries or add new entries into MPG. It crashes when I try. In other words, the app is useless now on my iPhone 3G. ### 1/5 — Was great, not anymore... *2010-09-07* Last updates seem to have more bugs than fixes. Current version (1.4.1) has huge problem with "next" button that causes changes to be erased when entering new odometer readings for new fill up. Also "next" button advances to next entry field only on certain fields not on all when entering new info. More trouble than the app is worth. Developer, please make sure current features still work before you ad new stuff and make the app unusable!!! Updated review - 9/6/10 It seems that updating the iPod OS to 4.0.2 from 3.1.3 solved most of the problems I previously wrote about. Having said that, I still feel it is unacceptable that a firmware update should be required to get software to run again that ran perfectly before. The developer(s) of this app should have taken more pride in it and made sure it would continue to run on any iPod OS or include some sort of disclaimer to the contrary - they didn't care enough to do either. ### 1/5 — died after one week *2008-11-23, version 0* I really liked this app for the first week I used it, but after 6 days it just died and I can't get it to work. When I call it up it tries to run it but after about 10 seconds it turns off. I wouldn't recommend it. If you can get it to work its pretty neat, but ..... ### 2/5 — Don't get it *2014-05-06, version 1.4.4* I had Italia for about 3 years, it used to work, but from some month ago does not work. The last update was 2012 and now iOS 7.1, so, don't waist your money.this does not sync with iCloud , I just got Fuel Monitor , works wonderfully ### 2/5 — In charge *2011-03-02, version 1.4.2* This app would great if it would sun online and it would allow your info to be shared with your iPhone and iPad. Take a look at how grocery iq shares your grocery list, this would be a great help!!! ### 2/5 — MPG Won't Calculate - Manual Not That Informative *2008-11-17, version 0* I purchased MPG from the Apple Store and when I attempt to enter information it does not calculate the miles per gallon or retain information that I input. Reading the manual does not address problems that arise. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — been using this since Newton days *2016-05-01* and anyone who leaves a bad review due to lack of updates, you know the developer passed away, right? ### 5/5 — Works For Me *2014-01-03* Has run on my IPad for the longest & flawlessly with IOS 7.04, the latest. So? I wish they did The Cloud to synch across my devices.....so I do not know what the beef is with the others. I guess the creator made his money, the system has changed and he, or she, doesn't care anymore . But it's good for me! ### 5/5 — Best Auto maintenance program out there. *2013-06-03* Been using this for some time and tried others and this is the best for me! ### 5/5 — Once again an excellent update! *2011-04-16* With the addition of File Sharing via iTunes, it only gets better. ### 5/5 — Problems fixed with 1.4.4 *2011-04-15* Back to fully functional with 1.4.4 patch. Been using this app since first released on the Newton platform in the last century. Beats keeping a hard copy journal in glove box like my dad did. Coupled with PocketMoney makes a great combination. ### 5/5 — Best for a long time *2011-04-10* I started using this app I think about 10 years ago on the Palm. When I moved to an IPod for my PDA I tried several automotive apps and ended up back with MPG because it has a straight forward interface, it's quick and it's reliable. Of all the Apps I have tried MPG easily wins as far as ease of use across all the functions. Good job Hardy, I'm looking forward to the improved document sharing. ### 5/5 — Great application *2010-10-17, version 0* At first I wasn't sure about it and end up downloading something else but it took me less than 2 hours to go back and get this application. Exactly what I need for my business LP CEO L&C Landcare LLC ### 5/5 — Hardy Gets A Running Start *2010-06-12* I put off our conversion to the iPhone until both Pocket Money and MPG hit the bricks. I too have used both since the days of the Newton, and have used both for business and personal finance purposes continuously since that time. The integration between the two makes auto expenses a snap to track. Plus Hardy's dedication to improvement and upgrade mean that the program will only get better. ### 5/5 — The BEST car app! *2010-03-24, version 0* WOW! Perfect is how I'd describe it... Miles per gallon, a trip diary, and maintenance log.. all in one, and well designed!! I couldn't be happier! ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2009-12-15, version 0* Great app for the price... and great support too!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
