Everything was great, aside from the milage tracking. So when you first go to log a trip, it tells you you need to upgrade your account - $5, one time charge. Not that big of a deal, let's do it! Then, when you go to turn on GPS, it costs another $30 AND it ONLY has the option for "while app is in use" so you only get actual recording if you open the app every time you start driving. Plus, i get random notifications that a trip is in progress while I am sitting in my couch. Total waste of $35
Reviews for Simply Auto: Car Maintenance
A good start but there is one glaring deficiency I have found so far. The in ability to combine multiple trips into one. When I take a business trip with multiple legs, SA records each leg as one trip. I thrn end up with ten or more entries instead of one. This is quickly becoming overwhelming. After buying a subscription, I still don't have a workable mileage tracker.
I have really enjoyed this app. However, recently I have not been able to sync my data to the cloud. Constantly giving an error, I have paid for the the gold version and the app shows me that I have however I can no longer access the online version to try and correct whatever is going wrong. Multiple emails to support and have still not received any guidance. Once I can actually use the app again I will re-evaluate the stars.
Very good app for tracking vehicle expense & mileage. My wife & I run a small taxi service. Keeping up with service on vehicle has become easy to track also. It would be great if they could add more structure to the business mileage tracking, as far as being able to add more information for customers & billing ( invoicing ) being that we invoice per. Mile. But is still the best app I have used to this point for tracking maintenance, expense & mileage
Easy to enter data, great reporting! Last phone died and lost all my car records in a different app. Edit: fantastic for gas tracking but many times this app has lost all service records - and even all possible service TYPES!! I am tired of defining "oil change" every few months. Developers have been responsive but it keeps happening. Hate to say it but I am switching to something else.
I used to enjoy using the app, but now I can't even log into the web browser to log or view any fill ups or my services done. I've had the pro version for years, but sadly I'm looking at getting a new app to help me keep track of all of this stuff from now on. The interface needs a facelift too, simple graphics can help out. Also after many years, it's strange to me that the logo on the web browser (when it worked) still says it's in Beta. I would imagine it should be far out of Beta by now, especially being open on the app store like it is. I do hope that the app gets some updates it needs Btw devs, might be a good idea for your ad to get new people to download the app in the first place to have an actual human voice, not a bad robotic one that fades away at the end
App is great for keeping all my auto data is in one place. Love it! Update: Support is awful!!!! I contacted developer last year to change my login info on the pro version and the instructions given did not work, so I lost all of my data. Maybe someday he/she will respond to my follow-up emails sent over a year ago. If I could just get the login info changed for the pro version, I would be happier than I am now.
I've used this to record information on approximately 10 cars over the past 7 years. It's super easy to use, the interface is unfussy and dependable, and the cloud sync makes it really easy to migrate data to a new phone. The ONLY feedback I have is that now that I am driving an EV it would be nice if there was an option to change the fill up data to EV-specific charging stats such as kWh delivered, miles driven, etc. Otherwise, I no longer have any use for this app moving forward.
just installed this, it's great! I already keep a manual log with the same info, but it's better to have it electronically. Just one gripe: in the log, if I have multiple fills on the same day, they are listed in reverse order, ie increasing odo reading. Entries should be strictly ordered - if the date is decreasing so should be the entries within each day. Actually it would be nice to be able to order the log in either direction!
I got this app to help me keep track of fuel purchases and mpg. It does that very well, giving me the results of the past 30 days on the homescreen. I can tell in a glance if my log has gone down or I need to budget differently for fuel. I also entered my new tires in the app and asked it to remind me to get them rotated in 5000 miles. It's using the odometer readings from the fuel entries to track how close I am. There are no popup ads, and the strip of ad at the bottom is unobtrusive.
