Leastimator

Great app design. As a product designer, I noticed the attention to detail that this app has to make it as simple as possible to track your lease miles. Excellent. It’s almost perfection. There was a few glitches but they were easy to overlook. Overall, functionality was great. Every app should strive to be like this.

This app is ok, it makes several calculations. What I loved in the previous app I used (LeaseCrunch, where did it go???) was a very simple + or - when you enter your mileage each time. For ex: a big giant +230 (and in red) let me know I was 230 miles over where I needed to be *that day*. This app only shows “your odometer should read xxxx” in small print if you scroll down on the screen (which isn’t obvious). Also, the Excess Mileage box should be relabeled Trending Excess Mileage because it shows your potential final excess, not your current excess (mine shows my excess is 8430 miles when there’s only 3500 miles on the car). Lastly, when you scroll down there is a line graph showing the mileage trend but you can’t press on it to get the actual number so it’s not practical. Hoping the developer will add a simple daily over/under at the top!!

The app give a ton of information if you are looking for what the end of your lease will look like. It would be a perfect app if they added the info in “real “ time meaning instead of it giving you at the end of your lease info it would give you how many miles you are over or under as of the date you update your miles. Like If I enter miles of 100 in the app it tell me my results as of today. You are over by 50 miles as of today. I like to know where I am in my lease while this tells me in three years what it will be assuming I drive the same miles (which my diving changes often) I have no idea as of today how manny miles I am over/under.
