Find My Car for Negative User Reviews
✓ Needs tweakingTrying to make notes in area designated, but it doesn't seem to work. :-(.Version: 2.3
✓ Useless doesn't helpIt just leads you to the location not specifically to the car. It then opens up apple maps. Completely useless..Version: 2.3
✓ Stay AwayContinually revises directions, sometimes even directing that one make a u-turn so as to follow a new routing. Doesn't provide feedback as one moves along, rather the next direction pops up and, as stated, sometimes says to retrace steps and follow a different set of directions. At one point, it kept saying I was 60 feet away from my destination and remained at "60 feet away" for the next 15 minutes of walking. This was in Rome, Italy. I'd recommend: STAY AS FAR AWAY from this app as you can!!.Version: 2.4
✓ PoorWasn't accurate and claimed to be free but certain features you have to pay for..Version: 2.1
✓ LostAbsolute rubbish.Version: 2.4
✓ Don’t download this it’s awful.This is a terrible app. I tried it. It’s terrible. There are no instructions. I figured it out out but it does not give the right info.Version: 2.7
✓ A ScamTried in vain numerical times to use the app to “find my car”. Each time I activated it, I was charged £1.50. Never found the car. Avoid at all costs. It is linked to a scam site called Stripey Giraffe. You unintentionally subscribe to chargeable texts, costing £1.50 each. You could get 3 texts each week..Version: 2.7
✓ This app does have its some issues.I sent a email to support in October of 2014 and got a response that advised me that if more people have the problem then it will be updated. I even sent a few suggestion on how to fix the issue. This app works fine if your cigarette port turns off when the car is turn off. So if you don't have any ports that turn off with the car then this item will not work, since the hardware component in the car needs to have the car off to work. Also if you have remote start that make the ports have power, then this app won't work for you either. All my ports are on so I had to convert one to make it turn off but I still have the issue of it working with remote start. If I do remote start the car then the red dot on the app that indicates where my car is goes away. The only workaround I have tried is to sync to Dropbox but then there is the issue of added clicking and there is no direction just "North is Up"..Version: 2.4
✓ Stopped workingUsed this quite a lot but since updating to the latest Apple iOS it’s stopped working. Hope the developers update it.Version: 2.4
✓ Find my carSo far I like it. I updated to paid version. I hope that there aren't a lot of stupid adds. If they do, I'll drop it. When I pay for an app, I don't expect to be hounded by adds..Version: 2.4
✓ RubbishThis app is RUBBISH! It just leads me to my location when the car I am tracking isn't even out side my house ! Would not recommend to anyone😀😕😐.Version: 2.3
✓ Doesn't appear on my phoneDownloaded to my I-Tunes Ok but doesn't appear on my phone. The old version seemed to work OK..Version: 2.4
✓ Ads work, not much elseThis app used to be one of the better car location apps. One of it's better traits was that it maintained the car's location even if the phone had to be rebooted. Using it lately (haven't used it since the last update) has shown me that the only thing that works now are the ads. No longer a good app. Not even a half decent app. Also, others have said that paying the in-app purchase still shows ads. Will never use again..Version: 2.4
✓ ReviewJust stop asking for a review every few minutes.Version: 2.7
✓ It works, but . . .Only 3 stars instead of 5 because of the horrible adds with buttons that say "START" intended to fool you into thinking it is part of the app. Please offer an in app purchase to turn off the ads..Version: 2.7
✓ Good... ButI paid for full version but pop-up ad still appears..Version: 2.4
✓ Must pay or register to use!!After the update I can't save a location unless I register my email or update to the paid version! In other words, the free version is not free. If I'm going to pay for a version I'll choose one that honestly let's me try it out first. Awful marketing ripoff..Version: 1.8
✓ LackingThis is a terrible app, completely lacking map detail. No reference to if your car is parked on an additional floor, when you zoom into map the distance disappears, accuracy poor as when sitting in car didn't show I had yet made it to car, and satellite is pointless really underground parking is only ever going to show the roof, app is only useful for a general direction of where your car is parked..Version: 2.3
✓ Lost puppyGreat idea but the use of apple maps makes it useless. Apple maps will actually help you not find your car. I have tried to use the app and it comes nowhere near my actual location. Dump apple maps and use Google maps and you will have a great app.Version: 2.3
✓ Not HelpfulI'm not sure what I'm missing but I couldn't make this work. Read the tutorial hit the Car Finder button to save location but I don't think it did. There was no confirmation that i had save location. No map or guidance later to find my car in mall parking lot. USELESS! I will try another App!.Version: 2.1
✓ CriticismThis app is not doing what it says on the tin. It shows my car is at my home when I know it is not. Also I can’t get any help to correct this.Version: 2.5
✓ HmmGood tool except what happens if you don't have Internet, then your screwed.Version: 2.4
✓ Works but…I have never been able to create a note with it. The note bar seems "dimmed out" where you would normally press to make the keyboard come up. This is with iOS 4.1 and iPhone 4. Please fix!.Version: 0
✓ Didn't workTried this app at Silverstone race circuit to get back to the car park. The app said my car was 4 miles in the opposite direction!.Version: 2.4
✓ Find My Car.Complete waste of time tried it for two weeks and just uses Googles Maps in Walking mode and takes you via roads even if I'm just trying to get across a large car park! I even parked on my drive them walked 200 meters down my road. The App then brought me back past my car by half a mile! Am I missing something?.Version: 1.8
✓ AlrightIs quite good but graphics should be changed a bit and You should have a menu where you can choose your last saved places and an easier way to edit them, but it is quite a good app, especially if you can't remember where you park your car... Hahah.Version: 1.8
✓ UselessI frequently have to park in large car parks in strange cities adn i am always struggling to retireve my car so i thought this woudl be an ideal app sadly it is completly useless. one one occasion it took em to a completely wrong location, on another it told me i was 57 miles from my car -- the one i could see from the street. i trued it in and around the office adn NOT ONCE did this thing take me back to my car. useless.Version: 2.4
✓ Doesn't work with current iOS 9Love this app in the past but it doesn't work at all with iOS 9. It immediately crashes after trying to load it on iPhone. Not very happy..Version: 2.4
✓ There is a charge to use this!App did not say there was a charge and I believed it free till I used it fir the first time. Looks like a pay pr use thing. Will be deleting, should have been disclosed!.Version: 2.7
✓ How do I cancel this app before I start getting charged for itI accidentally downloaded this app , I could not find out how to unsubscribe or cancel it before the trial period ended requirement. No where could I find how much I would be paying or how to cancel it automatic payment function ruse . If they were honest it would have an easy requirement to accept or reject their app after the trial period. I did not even try to use it. I just wanted to delete it but am not sure how , am concerned if I don’t do it correctly I will keep on getting charged. Not very’ tech au fait ‘. Robin Botic.Version: 2.5
✓ Rubbish !!!Use google maps!.Version: 1.5
✓ Not accurate enough......so unfortunately not as helpful as it could be!.Version: 2.1
✓ Augmented Reality In- App Add-OnRipp-Off. Stay away. Besides the rip-off add-on, the paid version of this app works ok for finding your car parked on the street but it does not work to find your car in a parking lot-at least not for me. Also, it is easy to erase the data. Once, I erased it by accident and imagine how would you feel after trusting the app? Time to find something better..Version: 2.4
✓ Useless...It has no clue where my car is to start with and gives you no opportunity to override the geolocation when it's off. If knowing where your car to within a kilometre is good enough then fine. Otherwise it's rubbish..Version: 2.4
✓ Lost my carDownloaded this app because I was going to a concert in Manchester, when I arrived at one of many car parks I set my destination on the app. After the concert the app directed me nowhere near my car and it took me 2 hours and thanks to a taxi driver I finally found my car. Serves me right for trusting technology.Version: 2.4
✓ 😔Deleted and reinstalled it twice but after clicking 'Allow it to use my location' nothing works, it doesn't register I'm pressing anything so I can't get anywhere.Version: 2.3
✓ Find my carSeems ok so far but i would really recommend paying out the extra folding stuff for better tracking.Version: 2.2
✓ 🗼Great.Version: 2.3
✓ Requires an Internet connection.Also the reality thingy is extra..Version: 1.8
✓ Maybe if you pay for the upgrade it works!!The only thing it gave me was a huge parking lot and a large picture of a car on top of it. It hardly showed the location of the car. I'm guessing that is what you get when you get the free version, which is of no use....so why even bother..Version: 2.1
✓ Misleading!I'm getting fed up of all these misleading 'free' apps. Your description states that augmented reality is a new feature. But if you want this then you have to make an 'in app purchase'. So in essence, your offering a trial to an app which is no different to google maps..Version: 1.6
✓ Ads Ads Ads.I tried this out for the first time today. Before it fully opened there were ads. Waiting through ad after ad to get to where I could save my car's position, I finally gave up and deleted it from my iPhone. It might be a good app but who wants to wade through a barrage of ads to find out?.Version: 2.0
✓ Rubbish!Be useful if it save my location near my car. Just a suggestion!.Version: 1.6
✓ Don't waste your moneyBuggy and hard to use. Company offered it free and now wants to charge which is well and good but they should make a new version and stop updating the free version - instead they have made it so it shows up in my updates and the only way to get it off is to remove or pay. Nice business practice. For those of you that will say that they post this in the description - they only added this when they decided to charge for the app..Version: 1.5
✓ Needs smaller car!This app is very useful and accurate. I will keep it until I find a better one. The car that shows where you parked is too large and blocks the view..Version: 1.9
✓ Works good, not greatA few suggested improvements. 1. Let me adjust the saved location to my exact car position (to visually correct for GPS inaccuracy. 2. Retain the last view settings. Sattelite view, zoom level..Version: 1.7
✓ Don't count on itThis app was just off by 67 meters. If I didn't have a key fob that makes the car beep, I would still be looking. It has done the same thing at the airport but I chalked it up to being in a garage. It is useful for finding the direction of the entrance you parked near at the mall... But that's it. Uninstalling it- waste of space..Version: 2.3
✓ Couldn’t use itUnless I didn’t understand the functions I found it useless. Showed only a large area (town) of roughly where my car was.Version: 2.7
✓ Find my carVery inaccurate.Version: 2.3
✓ FailedTested it out at the golf today. I had parked in huge area full of cars at the Australian Masters. App instructed me that it was unable to give me walking instructions to where it was ! Fail Fail Fail. I knew where it was , I was only testing it!! Don't bother with this !!.Version: 2.4
✓ Works well if...You only have one parking spot you are wanting to mark. Recently left my vehicle in the airport parking lot, marking the spot so I could find it upon my return 10 days later. then used the app to mark my rental car parking spot...app overwrote my personal vehicle's spot so I had to rely on the tried and true key fob alarm button. Very disappointed. Will be looking at different apps after that experience..Version: 2.4
✓ Its okay. Could be better.Unlike some fellow users, the app works fine in marking my position and helping me "find" my car. But one simple thing that would be very useful is to be able to send my car's location to my spouse after I've parked it..Version: 1.3
✓ It put an ad up in my notification centerI haven't had an opportunity to use this app yet, but it already has a black mark because it put an ad in my notification center. Not cool. I don't appreciate companies turning this useful tool into another opportunity to spam me..Version: 2.3
✓ Augmented Reality does not work.,,... At all ! Complete waste of money even if it is only 69p..Version: 1.7
✓ Doesn't workTried this but it doesn't work because it is just not accurate enough. Shows me as standing in a road 200 yards away from the road where I actually am. Shame..Version: 2.1
✓ It uses google maps that's itIf u want it to guide u like on the photo, u have to upgrade. Waste of time!.Version: 1.5
✓ Hard work!Very disappointed, it just about works but you have to wait for adverts to go away (you can't ignore them and some of them totally cover the screen!) on top of that its Google maps anyway. Don't bother. Please tame down the adverts and it may change to 3 stars..Version: 2.4
✓ Adverts?The caption at the top of the app description said "Free for a limited time". This would imply you usually pay for it. So why am I seeing adverts all over the place? A paid app shouldn't have adverts..Version: 2.4
✓ Whats the pointBasically this is just using googles maps Drop pin function, which is free and already installed on iphones..Version: 1.4
✓ Needs parking meter reminderOtherwise good.Version: 2.1
✓ Don't Waste Your TimeWent to the zoo and parked .3 miles from the front gate in virtually a straight line. When I came out it said my car was .3 miles away and gave me a roundabout walking route to it that was almost 2 miles. The driving route was even further. No indication of how to proceed otherwise. If someone else would have had to find my car they would have been out of luck. Totally useless..Version: 2.4
✓ Ads ate intrudiveApp looked good, even though most reviews were 5 years old, and there is no privacy disclosure. Downloaded to try anyway. Not only can you not pay a fee to get ad free, the ads you can’t stop include audio! Over the top. Doesn’t matter how well it works..Version: 2.7
✓ Waste of space (and 59p)This app could not find a town let alone your car. It reported my cay as 18.6 miles away and I could see it less than 30 feet away. It depends on Google maps for the route back so you may as well use Google maps in the first place. A total waste of everything, DON'T BUY!.Version: 0
✓ RubbishWhat a load of rubbish. Located my car miles away from where it was. Deleted now.Version: 1.5
✓ Works ok...Worked well when I parked on the street, it got me to my car just fine. But when I parked in a confusing parkade, it got me to the parkade, but couldn't help me find my car within the parkade. Maybe the paid version works better?.Version: 2.3
