Not working properly

I have used this app for a couple of years and it’s worked really well and I found it very useful. I recently had a problem with it crashing but it was down to an Apple update, I did contact Vehicle Smart and they quickly got back to me and explained it would be sorted very quickly, very happy with the overall app and the developer.

Great update

I have had Vehicle Smart for several years, it has always been my go to app for my families cars and now even better with the new glove box layout.
I also really like the new ‘through the gears’ section which has encouraged me to add several of my previous cars.

What has gone wrong (update)

Quick response from the team, after bringing up an issue.
Could not ask for more, would highly recommend.

The App is Broken

I’ve been using this app for years and it’s been good but now it won’t do anything other than view just the front page.
Unable to view any MOT history, the app just freezes not allowing me to scroll or do anything. I’ve deleted and reinstalled but nothing changes.
It’s now completely useless and NOT fit for purpose.
