### 2/5 — Pay Wall Nonsense

*2025-12-17, version 1.27*

As others have said in their reviews, this was a great app a few years ago. The functions remain good, but now everything is locked behind a Pay wall in the worst way. I understand that app developers should be entitled to income of some kind for their work, however; the way they set up the Pay wall and the options for paying are lousy to say the least.

### 4/5 — Vin is a very helpful person to know about véhicules

*2024-05-07, version 1.25*

Very helpful for me to know about vehicles

### 4/5 — saved by this app

*2024-01-10, version 1.25*

Seller claimed only light hail damage.
App shows total lose due to one of its two accidents. Thank you, app.

### 5/5 — Rating

*2023-10-25, version 1.25*

To have experts compile all this info is truly a time saver!

### 5/5 — Love Stow N Go!

*2023-09-25, version 1.25*

Chrysler Town and Country minivans are great I feel because of its Stow N Go feature. Getting back to  having and using this App. It’s a great App that I have been using for many years now and basically, it’s a great tool to have in order to get a better deal with the dealership. Please keep up the great work because there are many consumers who need all the help they can to buy a used or new vehicle!GODSPEED

### 5/5 — Valid and valuable information

*2023-09-24*

Anyone purchasing a used vehicle should do an “online evaluation” before inspecting the car. This website provide you with all information necessary to make an informed decision on your purchase.  
Don’t buy a car without performing due diligence.

**Developer response:** This is great car-buying advice. Thanks for sharing your feedback!

### 5/5 — Al

*2023-08-14, version 1.25*

This is one of the best app I ever seen great excellent professional, everything you need to new about cars history,  Don’t hesitate, to put this app on your phone if you’re a Car Man or you love cars or buying thanks.

### 5/5 — WoW!!!

*2023-07-24, version 1.25*

All I can say is where else can you find out this much info on an auto is such a short amount of time!!! I educated the dealer on this car!!! He did not know all the history plus future deprecation of the car!!! I think every dealer should have this app on hand to know  the history and pick up selling features along with showing customer using it as a selling point!!!

### 5/5 — Simply the best

*2023-06-30, version 1.25*

I’ve used this app for years. It has provided my wife and I a true guide to assist us in purchasing our vehicles. It’s by far the best app that provides the most information, so you can make an informative decision on your purchase. Anytime we are looking to buy a vehicle, new or used we return to this app..A+ all the way round..

### 5/5 — I love it!!

### 5/5 — Vin check

I tow cars for a living and this app helped me out in so many ways. Definitely was a good purchase for my career

### 5/5 — App review

*2023-04-29, version 1.25*

I used this app to get an idea of the current value of my car before purchasing a different car. I also used it to value the car I was buying. Very good information and right inline with what I found on the market.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-01-28, version 1.27*

Plain and simple. No crash information.

### 1/5 — Bad app. This app don’t give exact information needed. It’s give a fake report. Don’t advice anybody

*2025-10-31, version 1.26*

Bad app. This app don’t give exact information needed. It’s give a fake report. Don’t advice anybody

### 1/5 — Does not update your subscription

*2025-09-03, version 1.26*

This is the second time I have purchased the iVIN Lite subscription and after just a few then VIN checks, it tells me I have ran out of free reports when I have made the purchase. Do not waste your time or money with this application.

### 1/5 — Must pay premium for all features

*2025-07-08, version 1.26*

I used to use this app a couple years ago, and it used to have a comprehensive list of features, accidents, owners, maintenance…. You have to pay to see the info now. Uninstalling immediately.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2025-05-18, version 1.26*

Used to be a good app but now all basic information is behind a pay wall. Only information “free” is found on the external badging from factory. No engine size. No factory options. “The only report you’ll need” (with per-use fees).

### 1/5 — does not see EU vin

*2023-12-26, version 1.25*

uninstalling

### 1/5 — Not Impressed Anymore

*2021-09-29*

Update: Still shopping for cars and I run into a paywall?? I saw some old developer responses to people’s reviews stating that they determined that 10 free reports was adequate but I’m seeing now that it’s been shortened further to 5. I’m disappointed. I really thought this app was a game changer, but it’s just another cash grab. Deleting. 
——
Not only does this app provide you with tons of free info to help you make decisions on used cars, but it provides the links to legitimate and reliable sites that provide the info you’re looking for. I learned quite a bit from this app within the first 5 minutes of using it. THIS is how VIN lookup apps should be made. THIS is how you help people.

**Developer response:** Updated response: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're disappointed and will let our management team know. Please email us at help@iseecars.com if you have more suggestions or any questions we can help with.

Now you can still lookup free iVIN Reports and also do a simple sign up for 5/mo free (60/year) - which includes all of the VIN info and links in one place, plus proprietary data and analysis not found in other reports. (It's not the same as the sites where you plug in a VIN and see some info, or have to pay over $10 for 1 report!) There are also low-cost monthly plans with the ability to cancel anytime. The Beta version we launched with was a few years ago, but we're happy to still offer the free access to our full reports. Please reach out to us if we can help you directly with anything. Thanks!

### 1/5 — 😕

*2021-04-15*

this is a great app, when it works. I started using this app on my phone and I was using it so much I reached my limit so I upgraded my subscription to the unlimited. However it didn’t work and it still charged me monthly. It kept wanting me to sign up for the reports when I’m already paying for them through Apple Pay. Apple did credit me back one of the months that I lost. However, that’s not what I wanted. I actually wanted the app to recognize that I’ve already paid and let me continue to use the application.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for letting us know about this. We apologize for the billing issue and the fact that you didn't get what you wanted. Can you please email us at help@iseecars.com so we can fix this for you? Once we can ID your account we can figure out what was happening. We want to make sure you're taken care of and 100% happy with your experience. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Useless, Same Information as Internet Search

*2019-03-22, version 1.17*

This app will not provide accurate information on the vehicles submitted.
The first thing I noticed was wrong tire & rim size listed. I searched my own car that came from the factory with 18 inch wheels & this app lists it as having 17 inch wheels.
This app also does not provide correct options that came with the car.
The app is providing the same generic information you can obtain from an internet search.

### 2/5 — just not worth it

*2026-01-21, version 1.27*

Spent $10 can’t get a window sticker without paying more can’t see into its title without paying more showed me no useful info not worth it

### 5/5 — This app deserves much more publicity

*2025-10-07, version 1.26*

I saw a gorgeous Mercedes convertible featured on liveauctioneers.com, but there was no accident history.  When I checked the AppStore, I found this tool and decided to give it a try — it was free vs. $45 for CarFax! Well, thanks to the free iVIN Report and the link it provides to the NICB, I discovered the “well-cared for” car that runs perfectly was in fact a salvage.  Thanks very much!

### 5/5 — Everyone needs this app…. even the dealers haha

*2024-09-12, version 1.25*

I use this app for research !!!!!! It is the best app I have! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Van check

### 5/5 — Realtime Data

*2024-04-18, version 1.25*

This app was absolutely correct on estimated mileage, vehicle history and specifications.

### 5/5 — Love this App

*2024-03-30, version 1.25*

I have been using this App for a long time now… They do there homework and check all the boxes when it comes to finding out vital information. Don’t buy a used vehicle without checking the VIN. with this app.
You’ll be glad you did…

### 5/5 — Best to the Best

*2024-03-29, version 1.25*

*2024-02-07, version 1.25*

Thanks

### 5/5 — absolutely necessary

*2024-01-14, version 1.25*

This app is the single most important search engine for used car buyers. It shows and compares vehicle features, prices, ownership, history, Miles driven per year and most importantly, a history on the prior sales of the vehicle. You can see where the vehicle has been, and where it is now. Did it spend its life in New Jersey or Florida? Definitely recommend.

### 5/5 — Excellent research app for consumers , buyers

*2023-12-21, version 1.25*

Very helpful detailed information to assist you to buy a used car , more than any other app made to date
