Great app for tracking machine maintenance
No customer service response
Great app! Great value for the price.
Very good app but needs Serious Tweaking!
For the most part it is very practical and applicable. However, it lacks user directions so is not very user friendly and is missing some important data collection categories for some parts that are provided for others; eg. suggested spark plug gaps for some machinery but not others; model and serial number spaces for some but only model for others. Overall very useful and appreciated.
Good but needs additional maintenance field
General
Good app. Needs a few things
This has been mentioned but I will also say it. We need a way to manually add some categories. I own some classic tractors a bobcat and multiple trailers that I would like to track on this. I looked in the + to add and I only see fixed categories. I don’t see where my Bobcat or a tractor fits in. I can put it under mowers but that’s not what they are.
Like I said. Good app just as some customization for some of us who live outside the norm.
One improvement to make it perfect

Great App, Could use additional flexibility
My first issue is that I have two mowers that aren’t listed; a Cub Cadet ProZ 100S EFI, and a John Deere LT150. I also have a Husqvarna 350 chainsaw that isn’t listed, and a Troy-Bilt tiller. Three of these were big-box purchases, and the fourth is a pretty common commercial mower. I mean, you’ve got Yazoos on the list....
My second request would be for the ability to enter generic equipment with readily available small engines. For instance, I have a Cad-Digger with a Predator engine. I wouldn’t expect it to be worth the effort to add machines like this to an option list, but being able to create a custom machine description and attach the off-the-shelf engine to the equipment would be great. In addition to that, the ability to have a notes section for machine-specific parts (like the hydraulics of my digger) would allow me to log service information that relates only to this odd machine.
Last, I would love to see the ability to add small tractors to this app. I want to log all my maintenance in one place, and that includes a sub-compact Kubota tractor (BX series). If there were a way to integrate compact and sub-compact tractors into the list, it would be amazing. I do realize that this app is aimed at small engines, so compacts may be a stretch, but common sub-compacts like the BX and Deere 1000 series would be amazing. A lot of homeowners are buying these instead of lawn tractors these days.
In summary, I like the app a lot so far. Three stars because a handful of my small equipment isn’t available on the list currently. It would get four if it was all there, and five if it had the function to create custom equipment using common engines and maintenance features that are already in the app.

Not every model is currently available in the database. If you do not see your model after selecting the brand, you can add your model number by tapping the "+" button.

Not what I needed.
Response from developer
Not exactly sure what you mean, but the app is designed for machines with small engines, as stated in the description. Maintenance tracking for vehicles (cars, trucks) is not currently supported, but may be added in a future release.
Not what I expected
Response from developer
The functionality of the app and database are completely dependent on specific machine types. Available parts and services are derived from the machine type. For example, if you choose lawnmower, the app automatically adds lawnmower blade as a part and blade sharpening as a service. Without this specificity, the app would have no functionality beyond notepad or a spreadsheet. There are currently 16 machine types, as specifically listed in the app description. More machine types will be added in the future upon request, if they fit into the scope of the app. As stated in the description, the app is designed for machines with small engines, and support for some types of equipment, such as automobiles or large machinery, is currently not planned.
