User reviews

How the heck does one get a user id for this app?

Right, so, the app just plain misbehaves if you bypass the log in (why can it be bypassed if it is required)? Without logging in, nothing happens after entering a vin. There is no way to “sign up” within the app, weird, but OK. Reading the notes in the App Store, I see that I need to “contact autoap”. Ok, how? Nada on their web page (whisky linked), no snail mail address, phone number, nothing. Even the “app support link takes you to a web page where you cannot get app support. Good god, why go to all the effort to make an app that nobody can use?

Ok - the dev reaponded and said that this is an auto dealer only app. I see that there is now an indication of such in the description in the App Store.
Adding that to the splash/login panel in the app would avoid the confusion (and subsequent bad reviews).
I updated the review to 3 stars (assuming that the app works for dealers) out of fairness to the developers

It doesn’t work!

I don’t understand why create an app that nobody can sign into and go through all the trouble of trying to get a username and password but it doesn’t even allow you to do anything so why launch an app that doesn’t work??? What a waste of time

No response from VIN that’s read

You hit the search button and nothing happens
