RememberTheOil - Car Maintenance App Reviews

Nice interface

I updated this app to its newest version and all of my data was erased. I tried restoring the cloud backup, which did not work. 3 emails attempts and 14 days later, I still have not received a single email from anyone regarding my issue.

Last update was in 18 September 2014. emailed the developer about some problems but didnt respond. If fix the problems I think its a good app.

This is an excellent app, and does what it says it will do. Having said that, there is still room for improvement. First the color scheme for this app is terrible and makes reading the data difficult. The author should allow the colors to be chosen by the user. Second, the decimal places can be set in settings, so I as the user should not have to enter a period when entering gal/ltrs or costs. I should be able to just enter numbers and the decimal should be entered automatically. Third, if the user does not have email set up on the device the app needs to tell the user. For the nay sayer reviews about losing data, if you dont use iCloud or Dropbox then yes theres a chance for data loss, but emailing yourself the data weekly ensures you will have a continuing record of your data.

There are lots of apps out there that track your gas usage and do a good job of it buy i wanted a app that would show me visually when services needed to be done. Instead of wondering if Im getting close to an oil change I can now see a color graph of it. So cool! You can even add you own services to track by mileage or months. This is the car app to get. My only suggestion is to let the user pick the color of the graph. It starts at purple which is a little hard to see. However you cant miss the RED! Good job!!

It takes a while to learn but the fact that you can record every little thing about your vehicle is incredible useful especially when you have an older car that you dont want anybody working on it except for yourself

Ive been using a different app for about 2 years and I like this one way better. Great UI, however I would make the vehicle tab and wheel at the top of the screen just a bit smaller. It takes up a lot of screen space that could be used for something else. Not a big deal.... Probably a personal thing. I like that the app is not cluttered and very easy to use. Im giving it 5 stars to start since it was so easy to add my vehicles and get started. Ill update soon if needed, but this app is looking rock solid.

I find this a helpful app. To remember oil changes. I got it for free when is was free a day ago. I wont mind paying full price. The developer is very helpful and quick to reply when needed.

It deleted all my service history and claimed I performed every listed service today. I even went into the history and deleted those entries. Unfortunately each individual service still shows todays date and the last fillup mileage for each entry. I even tried restoring from both Dropbox and iCloud to no avail. Its pretty scary when an app can do something like this with no way to undo it. Proceed with caution.

I like the app. Beautiful interface and easy to use. I wonder if you could add a button to switch between different fuel types, so you could analyze fuel efficiency for hybrid cars.

App works well for tracking information from your vehicles. However, there is a bug related to entering in where you get your service done. The locations dont load correctly when you type in the address and the app crashes. Another bug occurs when you are selecting vehicles. The vehicle you select is not always the vehicle you intended on selecting which is annoying. Esp when you want to delete a vehicle and you accidentally delete the wrong one! Im glad I got this app for free, DO NOT PAY MONEY FOR IT!

Except fuel consumption, there is an option to use l/100km. Without metric suport its useless for most of the Europe.

I have tried using many different apps to keep track of my fuel, this app does that and so much more in a great user friendly interface! Definitely the best car app I have ever used by far!

Intuitive, easy to use,

Almost perfect.

If you want to keep track of your basic services get the simple but much more intuitive car fax app

Data loss continues. You have to start all over again a and again. Not worth continue putting ALL that information in over and over. Promising but disappointing app

Ive been using this app for 2 years already. Love it! I dont think you can find a better app. Its easy to use and powerful. I like to use Dropbox sync over iCloud because is more reliable, plus I share my data with my wife. Give it try, you wont regret.

I just purchased the previous version if this app, and spent hours manually inputting historical data. I had both iCloud and Dropbox backups set up. I updated to the newest version, and everything is gone. I tried restoring from both iCloud and Dropbox, but no luck. Whats the point of having backups if you cant import them?

Seconding other reviewers here. Spent several hours inputting two vehicles data. Set up for drop box. All gone. Deleting app and looking At other options. Less fancy- more secure. "Vehicle log book".
