“My Garage” is the app for your phone or tablet that lets you carry all the informations about the cars in your garage, so you can have that information at your fingertips whenever and where ever you are. In Quick Actions : Advanced Reporting - will list all vehicles in your database and enable you to filter on 12 different categories listed across the top of the screen and sort by tapping the title at the top of each column of information. Then dive into and individual vehicle to see vehicle details and photos. This lets you confirm in seconds what’s in your garage, at your fingertips. You can store and review details such as:- - Manufacturer of the car, Brand, Model description, Model number. - Store purchase date and cost as well as Sale date, Sale price and cost of sales for those who love to trade their cars. - There are three fields where you can note the class of car, useful if you race with more than one club, and where classes may differ between clubs or your home racing group. If you store your cars in different locations you could use one of these as a location marker of where each vehicle is stored. We also have classifications, with some set up and the ability to add more. Asset Type Eg Slot Car, remote control, Static Model Model Manufacturer Eg Scalextrics , Carrera Quality Eg Mint Boxed, Good, fair, poor Scale EG 1:32, 1:43 Ownership Status EG: Owned Sold, For sale Car Categories (not necessarily racing categories) All of these are optional to use Photos - You can add multiple photos of each car, though suggest keep it to 1 or 2 if you have a large number of cars. Add Car to database - This provides you with and entry screen to add all the details you wish to record for each vehicle, as you will see most fields are optional - Record all your vehicles with all their details including racing categories - Store photos of the vehicle for easy reference. - Record all different types of vehicles Static models, Slot and remote control, you can filter as needed. - Keep track of your purchases and sales. Set your own class structure of vehicles you wish to filter by. Back Up, Export and restore In either the View Database Assets menu option or the Search cars in the database in the top right hand corner tap on the three dots , this will bring up :- Export to Zip - This will create a zip file with the data from your garage in the csv format and will also include the images you have stored. This is useful as a backup , which can be restored if need be or can be used in other formats. NOTE Should you currently have all the information about your cars in a spreadsheet or some other that can be exported a CSV file, Then by replicating the CSV format created by the export to ZIP process you may be able to facilitate the loading of your information by replicating the format and using the import from Zip process. Import from Zip - Lest you load previously exported data, or data is in the format created by the export to Zip process. You can load that data into your device using this import process. This is useful as a back up in case of an issue with your device , or to transfer the data from one device to another. You can then hold the data for example on both a phone and a tablet. Note import is additive and will add to what ever data is in the app already.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My Garage at none against Microsoft Word's 14. My Garage also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Microsoft Word's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
