Awesome

When you driving on a rock, you can only get around so far without getting recognized or using multiple vehicles not to be noticed!! Best cat and mouse game!!!

10 records max, no export or integrations

this is a toy being capped at 10 records. What are you scanning for, your friends at a party?

Best app

This is by far the best app out there for what it’s capable of doing. Just wish it had more premium features still 10 of 10

Superior Recognition

This app is superior in parsing the car information from image. If the developer could add a feature to export the data for further analytics (aggregation by plate numbers), I’d be a paid subscriber instantly.

Even a simple export is fine, as AI can help with analytics and aggregation

Works well and it’s free

I’ve tried a few of these apps and the ones that work are expensive or restricted. This app works well and it’s free. Well done!
