### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-08-01, version 7.0.3*

I have paid to have the car checked and it has taken the money from my account and there is no check to show available. Do not use this app it’s a scam

### 1/5 — wrong report

*2024-12-13, version 7.0.3*

I used this app to check a car I was interested in purchasing, and their report falsely indicated that the car was under finance. Concerned, I paid another company for a verification check, which confirmed there was no finance pending on the car.

This experience was extremely disappointing. A wrong report like this can significantly impact your buying decision and cause unnecessary stress.

I cannot recommend this app. It provided inaccurate information and turned out to be a waste of money.

### 5/5 — Really useful

*2024-07-24, version 7.0.3*

I’ve used the app many times and find it quick and easy to use. I buy bundles of checks which makes it good value.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2024-07-22, version 7.0.3*

Amazing the amount of information given on a car. Especially liked the valuation over a period of years (and it doesn’t always go down!)

### 4/5 — Works well for a free app

*2024-07-14, version 7.0.3*

Just downloaded the new app using my old subscription information, and all of my previous searches appeared - impressive. Problem is, how do I remove the searches I am no longer interested in?

### 1/5 — Unable to sign in

*2024-06-23, version 7.0.3*

When trying to sign in to the app it’s supposed to send you an email with a code. I never get it. 
Signing into the website works fine, so at the minute it’s just an app I can’t use.

### 1/5 — Headache

*2024-05-02, version 7.0.3*

Awful layout and so busy. Good info but other than paying for a check not much other use

### 1/5 — It said that that registration number didn’t exist

*2023-12-31*

No number

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern. I understand your frustration when the registration number you entered did not yield any results and I can see that you are based in the USA. MyCarCheck is a platform specifically designed to provide detailed information about vehicles registered in the United Kingdom. Our database integrates with the UK's Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) and other UK-based organizations, which allows us to maintain a comprehensive and accurate record of UK-registered vehicles only​​.

Unfortunately, this means that our service is unable to provide information on vehicles registered outside the UK, such as those in the USA. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. For checks on vehicles registered in the USA, I recommend using a local service that has access to the relevant national databases.

We value your interest in MyCarCheck and are always here to assist with any queries related to UK vehicle checks. If you have any further questions or need assistance with UK vehicle information, please feel free to contact us.

### 1/5 — Mr Smith

*2020-11-16, version 6.3.99*

Why change everything, I have lost all my checks.  Going elsewhere now.

### 1/5 — App and become useless

*2020-11-15, version 6.3.99*

Use to love using this app and now just shows a fake screen to go on the website. Really loved this app but now you have to use the website and it’s like a primary school kid has designed it. Why is this app even on the AppStore when it says use the website. DON’T DOWNLOAD THIS CRAP APP! Avoid at all cost.
