Where does your money actually go? RevUp keeps every cost your car generates in one place — fuel, repairs, insurance, fines — and shows the real monthly picture instead of a vague feeling. WHAT IT DOES • Service reminders by date or by mileage. Oil, inspection, insurance — you stop trying to remember when you last did it, and the notification arrives at the hour you set. • Expenses by category. Log a fill-up or a repair in seconds and see where the money went, month by month. • Full repair history. Every job with its parts, garage and cost. Attach a photo of the work order or a PDF invoice — no more hunting through messenger apps for a scrap of paper. • Fuel log. Record fill-ups and see what the car actually burns, per fill and on average. • Scan the receipt. Photograph a garage invoice or a fuel receipt and RevUp reads the job, the parts and the total. Nothing to type. • A car expert in your pocket. Ask the built-in AI about a noise, a warning light or a part, and get a straight answer with prices — instead of trawling forums. • Find parts by VIN. The assistant suggests equivalents and compares prices. • Documents. Keep insurance and registration with their expiry dates, and get warned before they run out. • Notes per car. A mechanic's number, a part code, a checklist before a long trip. • Trip cost. Enter a distance and RevUp works out the fuel and the money, using your car's own average. • Hand the car over. Selling? Generate a one-time code and the car moves to the buyer's account with its whole history — or send a public link they can read without installing anything. • Everything in the cloud. Change your phone, reinstall, and it is all still there. Export a full backup as JSON, or a car's history as CSV. FREE AND PRO The free plan covers one car and everyday tracking. Pro removes the limits and opens the AI assistant, receipt scanning and unlimited reminders. (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
