### 5/5 — I love ittt

*2026-08-21, version 3.1*

I love itttt

### 1/5 — This app served up a fake virus alert! Beware!

*2026-08-04, version 3.1*

Watch out!

### 3/5 — Too much adds

*2026-08-02, version 3.1*

Every few buttons I click there is always an add.

### 1/5 — Watch ads

*2026-07-30, version 3.1*

So frustrating. This is claim a plate and watch a 60 second ad or in most cases be forced to click on an ad or close the app and restart. What a waste of time!!

### 4/5 — Review to PlateSpot

*2026-07-24, version 3.1*

So many ads!

### 3/5 — Pictures of plates

*2026-07-17, version 3.1*

You should show all the pictures of plates for each plate.

### 1/5 — Insane amount of ads

*2026-07-08, version 3.1*

Every license plate put in results in an ad

### 1/5 — Ads no go

*2026-07-08, version 3.1*

The app stinks. So many adds that you can’t remember what plates you saw and your kids are screaming at you to claim it while an irrelevant ad plays for an excessive amount of time.

### 2/5 — Too many ads!!

*2026-07-01, version 3.1*

Every two or three plates I claim, there is an ad. Every time I switch between countries, there is an ad. If I leave the app open and untouched for too long, THERE IS AN AD. I would enjoy this app so much more if there weren’t so many ads.

### 5/5 — The best road trip game

*2026-06-22, version 3.1*

I was on a 4 or 5 hour road trip and me and cousin were having so much fun; I would recommend this game for long drives.
