Garage Record II
Read full descriptionHide full description
Garage Record II is a complete rewrite of the original Garage Record. This version fully supports iOS and iPadOS and utilizes Apple’s Core Data for persistent on-device data storage. In addition, this version also supports iCloud, so your data is securely shared with all your devices. I added to the Oil Service Record a default suggestion for the next oil change: current mileage + 3000. This default suggestion can be modified by tapping the “Change Interval” button. I also added the ability to export the Vehicles saved in the database. The design of this record-keeping app is modular. Most times, when I go to the shop to get one of my vehicles serviced, I cannot afford the long laundry list of service suggestions, so I pick and choose and schedule others for a later service. This modularity of record-keeping is the idea behind this app. Create a vehicle record by tapping “Add Vehicle.” You can change the icon now by swiping right to edit a row. Swipe left to delete a vehicle and all its associated service records. Tap on the vehicle record row in the main home screen, which takes you to the “Service Records” screen, and choose the service component by tapping on Add Service Record. Service Records are listed by date, the newest at the top—swipe left on a record to delete the record from the database. At the bottom of the Service Record screen, you can export all records for the particular vehicle. Blessings, —Mark Spaulding Founder, Foundation Software

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Garage Record II at none against Simple Bill's 1. Garage Record II also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). Simple Bill's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
