myCarLog: Car & Fuel Tracker

While this is probably the best of what is available for the DIY’er to manage their auto tracking needs, it still lacks some of the common functionality you would expect from a one-stop app. A visual reading whether it be a bar graph or color wheel indicator to let you know when your personal vehicle is in need of service from its last visit: say oil change, tire rotation etc. The ability to add 2 cars before the need to “buy” the app…how many people don’t have 3 or more cars to track? Overall, I’m pleased I found something to replace the now dead carminder app, I tried many other apps and didn’t like them at all. This one, fits some of my needs and I will just have to adjust to its limitations.

I have been using this app since one year. Ao far it seems good to me. In my opinion three options should be included. 1. Fuel-Price calculator: When we input data for refuelling, it calculates data only for volume. In my opinion, the calculation should be open for all field. Like if i input the volume and price per litre it will calculate the total price. Or if i input total price and price per litre it will calculate the volume. This can be added 2. Service reminder: We the consumer set maintenance criteria but the app do not provide reminder and there is no option for reminder. Please add the reminder option. 3. Owner’s maintenance schedule: The developer can pre upload the owner’s maintenance schedule. Based on manufacturer and model of the vehicle, the preset maintenance schedule will be set for the user. The consumer can edit the maintenance schedule if he wants. And the app must remind the user accordingly. I wish the developer can think of this.

I just started using this app. Seems to be pretty good. However I lot of times when I do maintenance on a vehicle I may take care of several service items at the same time. Like change the motor oil,oil filter,air filter, transmission oil, transmission filter and more at the same time. The problem with this app is it only allows you to add one service item per entry. So to keep up with these items you have to do each service item as a separate entry. It would sure be nice to be able to add multiple service items on the one log entry. Another issue I am having is I bought the pro version to not have advertisements and to be able to add multiple vehicles. But it keeps reverting back to the free version.
