Don't suppose this is available on android yet?! Anything similar that is, if it's not?

Cheers!

Finally have an iPhone, so can download the app!

Is it possible to add a cell with the registration number as part of the description for each car?

Not been here for a while lads....

ios7 update next Grrr....I hope to add reg number, change additional alerts to Bookings ie reminders with actual appointment time.

No spare cash for an Android version yet but if you all buy t-shirts and hoodies I'll be investing any profit back in to development.

Apps are nae cheap to make lol

Used the group function today on Pedal For Scotland so that the wife could track our location.
You have to refresh your position manually but at least it timestamps the location markers so the person tracking has a good idea of where you might be.
I guess there could be privacy concerns with automatic refreshes???

It refreshes every 90 seconds automatically.....if you have ios7 verison anyway. Unique group code so should have no privacy issues....unless you want to hide form your wife haha! Always leave the group when done or it will munch battery life.
Big brother isn't watching you....heck....it's my app and I don't even watch you lol
Great to hear of someone using the app!! :thumbsup

The AA are a huge organisation and I'm just me lol. The Android app works now but just not as good as I'd like. I don't want to put guff out there if I can afford to wait. My app is cooler any way haha!
Now....I really must get the tshirt webshop open! The tshirts are also cooler than any AA tshirts :D

Couple of, er, entertaining reviews, Andy!

Going to take a look at this.

How do you make money from it?

Ps. I don't make money at this time...quite the opposite lol. I set it free whilst the Android one gets sorted and then uploaded. Would uncool to charge Apple users when giving to Android users for free. I'll set it free on Google for a while until established and if they are bugs found that I'm not aware of then nobody is out of pocket...seems fairest way!
Some of the reviews on Apple are pals (who actually have the app), some people I don't know and few idiots lol. Read the negative reviews as they are quite humerous. Number 10 can't even spell lol
*edited due to MY spelling haha....stupid iPhone
