I loved this app at first. It was clean, functional, and allowed me to catalogue over 1,400 cars from my collection without issue. Suddenly, after putting in all the time and effort to log my die-cast cars, they update the app and cap the free tier at 250 cars. Now I’m expected to pay a monthly or annual subscription just to add new cars to my existing collection. It feels like a total bait-and-switch to let users put hours into building their digital garages for free, only to lock basic cataloging features behind a paywall later. A major multi-billion-dollar brand shouldn't be subscription-gouging its most dedicated collectors. Extremely disappointed. Paywalling premium scanner tools or extra features is one thing, but capping basic garage capacity at 250 cars punishes actual collectors. I won't be subscribing, and I won't recommend this app to anyone with a serious collection until they fix the free limits.
I’ve been looking for an app to track my collection for some time now. I’ve been buying way too many duplicates. I really enjoy the organization of my virtual garage although it could be a bit better. The app tracks specific series collection progress, but this doesn’t really work well when it comes to the haulers and double packs. I’d like it to show that I have the hauler and car as a whole, rather than having to select the car and hauler separately. Also given the volume of my collection, it would be great if there was a barcode scanning feature, as I have a collection of over 500 cars. Having to manually type in each one and cycle through which variant I own is a pain and real time consuming. In all I’m really grateful to have an app that helps track my collection in a pretty neat way. Hopefully there will be some updates to come in the near future.
I actually really love this app. I like to keep things super organized. This app allows me to add all the cars that I have in my collection. I can keep track of the ones that I want and if I need to find out if I have one I can just search I mean it doesn’t get too much better than that. Not all of the cars have pictures which kind of bothers me also. I think it would be really cool if they had a like shot button so if you find a car that you want, you can click the plus button buy it straight from Mattel
