Just like others above, I have been a long time user. Was a great app when I started with aCar, changed phones a couple times and it moved just fine. Upgraded to a new phone over the weekend and I have a choice to subscribe or be bombarded with ads. I just do simple tracking of my gas usage for personal use. I have no need to get a subscription. Adios aCar, you were a great app while it lasted.

I have had pro for years, was about to subscribe to premium until I realized it hasn't been updated in a year and a half. Lately it seems to occasionally lose the pro key and start giving ads and not allow location info. I'd subscribe if it was being maintained and I could hide the PDF and image entry fields so I wouldn't have to scroll past them every time I fuel up.

Update. They were able to guide me to select the folder "zonewalker-acar" when prompted to create a folder all of my data was intact. Why they wouldn't put this promt in the update instruction is beyond me, but everything is back to normal. I've been using aCar for years and all of a sudden it acts as though I have just installed it asking me to create a folder. It's a good thing I used this app to keep track of all maintenance and expenses on several vehicles because it's all gone now.

I purchased the app many years ago. I thought it was an okay app that was worth the purchase. Since upgrading my phone, my license didnt transfer and I discovered that it didnt matter anyway. it is a subscription now, which doesn't much bother me if it was worth it. the app has become confusing and difficult. I'm going back to a paper logbook, or looking for a better, non-bloatware app. Fuelly took an okay app and ruined it.

Latest update caused this thing to be completely unusable. I've been using it for a years and suddenly it prompts for new storage location and it now crashes when I try to put in anything. I even reset the app several times and changed the file location like some have mentioned but it freezes when it starts to sync with the server or even local backup... What the heck. At this point the app is completely useless until they fix this. I've tried different save locations and it still gets stuck.

Thanks to aCar, I've only missed recording a few fill-ups in over a decade. I'm sure there are "better" or "prettier" apps for this purpose, but aCar has been consistent and flexible enough for everything I've wanted to track. It's been great to be able to quickly answer questions about "when did that part break?" Or "where did I get that part from?". Unfortunately, the latest update no longer honors my purchase of the "Pro" version. Hopefully it's a simple error that gets resolved soon!!

I'm a long-time pro user (10+ years) & have thousands of vehicle records. There've a been a few small issues over the years but have worked through them. I backed up my data routinely, and I've switched phone handsets successfully several times over the years. All good... Until version 5.4.x. Like others have complained, loading data is painfully slow. File backup and restore functions no longer work. I've lost years of records. Support response is lacking. I'm now searching for a replacement.

Keeps crashing since the latest update. It used to be reliable, quick, and efficient. Now it takes 10 minute's to enter a record and have all attached files saved properly. Slow to open record's. Might be time to start looking for something better. Hope I don't loose all my data for the past 5 years. Cannot edit records to add photos or pdf. Keeps crashing app when you try.

Was a decent app, I paid for it back when it was Donation only. A few month ago, it started making me re-register my donation code (a ridiculously long hex string) every week or so. Finally got a response from Fuelly, which was basically "Google changed things and we can't fix it without rewriting the whole program". I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be the answer for a subscription user. Expect no real support and tons of ads. We all pretty much knew Fuelly would kill this and they did.

DO NOT PURCHASE! Like many others, I had previously purchased the pro unlocker for aCar. It was a good app for many years. Unfortunately, Fuelly no longer recognizes that I've purchased the pro version and requires subscribing to a $5 per year subscription. I'm done with this product and recommend finding a better solution than what Fuelly is offering here.
