### 4/5 — Car guy friendly

*2026-08-29, version 4.3*

I just started using this app a few days ago. I love the ability to track your stats, places traveled and build your garage. One thing I’m running into is that it does not always log my drives. Even after I start and stop them manually. Is there a way I can still get those stats?

### 4/5 — Fun app

*2026-08-29, version 4.3*

Upon review of the ACTUAL TOS, i found no evidence that they sell your information: I went to a website that had your name and found information that said you do, but going through apple play-store link, i was wrong. I am not sure what site i went on and i apologize.

### 4/5 — Gut, aber keine Apple Watch Kompatibilität

*2026-08-24*

Ja.

### 5/5 — very good

*2026-08-20, version 4.1*

very good me like a lot

### 5/5 — Great at for driving enthusiasts

*2026-08-20, version 4.1*

It’s a great app I love the features that it shows when doing canyons runs or just my daily driving , everything is great about the app just missing the FRS/86/BRZ car icons on the map cuz that’s what I drive but overall great app lol

### 4/5 — Really good app

*2026-08-20, version 4.1*

It’s a smooth all and the UI and easy and clean to use, and I like when the phone is locked it gives the option to keep it on the lock screen and the animation even on low power mode is nice. 

The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the only free cars are sedans and I drive an SUV, I feel like atleast one SUV and maybe a pickup truck should be free just to have more free options to choose from

Other than that, the app is amazing, it’s fun seeing my bro all the way in Texas cause Life360 was boring this made it fun.

### 5/5 — Look like a fun app

*2026-08-19, version 4.1*

I love this app and love that you can get premium for free, but wish that customization wasn’t locked behind the premium, other then that really good app

### 5/5 — Cool App

*2026-08-19, version 4.1*

Love the app since I can see all of my drives and where I’ve been throughout the country. I just wish we could change our line color instead of Red and also make it a little bit more noticeable on routes we’ve only taken once or twice. But other then that, really cool design and app!

### 3/5 — can’t even add friends

*2026-08-14, version 4.0*

great app. but can’t even add friends. there’s no option to add friends at all

### 4/5 — Version pro

*2026-08-14*

Aimerais avoir la possibilité d’obtenir la version pro en un payement

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre avis et vos commentaires, nous allons étudier la possibilité d'ajouter cette fonctionnalité.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-14, version 4.0*

Such a fun app!

*2026-08-13*

Очень большой потенциал! Так держать

### 5/5 — Should make the no subscription more accessible to other things

*2026-08-13, version 4.0*

I like the app but everything should be free.

### 1/5 — Loved the app but I feel scammed

*2026-08-27, version 4.3*

Saw it in TikTok and decided to try it, wanted to use my free trial, and activated the 1-day reminder before the trial was close to be finished. Never received that alert, and got charged for the annual subscription, which I didn’t intend to renew, and was actually looking forward to cancel it, as a busy person that’s why you activate those alerts, right? I tried to get refunded and said I wasn’t elegible; Appealed that decision and same answer was given back, I hope somebody from here could actually do something about my case, because Apple wouldn’t help me.

### 1/5 — The "social" features come at a massive privacy cost.

*2026-08-26, version 4.3*

This app is marketed as a fun, social drive tracker to compete on leaderboards and share trips with friends. However, you need to know what is happening behind the scenes. To use the social features, you must hand over your phone number, and the app tracks your exact location, speed, and routes in the background.

While it feels like a casual social media app, the developer’s (Vortac Labs) official Terms of Service state something very corporate. Section 9 explicitly admits that your driving metrics and data products "may be used internally, published, licensed, or sold to third parties." They specifically note this data goes to automotive research, mapping, and insurance analytics companies.

Apple’s privacy label also confirms they use your "Usage Data" to track you across other companies' apps and websites. Turn off background location and think twice before inviting your friends to an app that packages and sells your collective daily habits to third-party corporations

### 1/5 — Stop asking for a review

*2026-08-22, version 4.3*

Asks for reviews too often.

### 1/5 — Didn’t agree to subscription

*2026-08-20, version 4.1*

I was interested in the app so i got it and i chose to not have any subscription cause i didnt know if i would even keep it long, i was charged with their most expensive subscription without verification from me and will not refund me back.

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2026-08-19, version 4.1*

awful 😂

### 1/5 — “FREE” DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN FREE

*2026-08-15, version 4.0*

I downloaded Wheelz because I another app charging to use similar features and figured I’d try the free option instead.

Later, I found out that “Free” may come with a different cost: your data. From what I’ve learned, Wheelz may make money by sharing or selling user data with third parties, potentially including insurance related companies and law enforcement. 

BUYER BEWARE: “FREE” DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN FREE — YOU COULD BE THE PRODUCT.

### 1/5 — Location settings way too invasive

*2026-08-12, version 3.2*

I set my recordings to be manual only. Even then, the app wants the location to be on at all times, even when not in use. It should also be made more transparent how to hide your activity from friends (idk why the reasonable default is to notify every one of your friends whenever you start moving).

### 1/5 — Serious error

*2026-08-12*

I can’t sync my contacts

**Developer response:** Hey please reach out to us at support@vortac.io so we can check it out and help you

### 1/5 — Can’t even log in

*2026-08-11, version 3.2*

Can’t even log in as the app REQUIRES you to have it allow you to be followed, when you’re not even on the app. Yup, total scam to give an option to say “only when I’m using the app” if you can’t even log in unless you click the “always allow app to track you” option.

### 1/5 — Yeah no..

*2026-08-08, version 3.2*

Order Sam I had potential I was excited, but I’m not gonna put my phone number on there. Are you crazy?…. Or rather just delete the app myself.

### 5/5 — Best GPS App Ever

*2026-09-01, version 4.3*

The Wheelz App Has Been Surprisingly reliable and easy to use. The interface is clean. Everything Loads Quickly, And Booking A Ride Feels Smooth From Start To Finish, I Appreciate How Transparent The Price Is, And How Simple it is to track my driver. Overall, It’s A Solid App That Exactly What It Promises

### 5/5 — Super cool!

*2026-08-30, version 4.3*

I love this app, it shows me my driving habits and my top speeds. The only thing I wish this app did was keep track of your 0-60 times.

### 5/5 — My thoughts

*2026-08-29, version 4.3*

I absolutely love the app, amazing, however the 0-60 time never chooses a good time from 0-60 i think you should maybe add a button to start recording it? something to make it easier to really see your 0-60 instead of it choosing when your turning on a random road. other than that i think this app is amazing

### 5/5 — Super fun n amazing

*2026-08-29, version 4.3*

Best app for a group 
Nothing to complain about,love it just wish u can add more vehicle on the account but not a super big problem

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-08-28, version 4.3*

I wish you can create a convoy so all your friends can see each other and if they wanted can add other people and I think you guys should have it to were we can see or friends parked so if there was a meet you can see it. I don’t want to be the only one seen just bc I’m driving

### 5/5 — amazing

*2026-08-27, version 4.3*

### 5/5 — G

*2026-08-24, version 4.3*

Unironically a great app even thought it’s subscription based still great free app

### 5/5 — Definitely worth the download

*2026-08-23, version 4.3*

Im currently using the free version with two of my buddies back home while I’m in college and it’s great we can see where we sped up and laugh about it later depending on the situation ofc but definitely worth getting.

### 5/5 — CarPlay

*2026-08-22, version 4.3*
