Did consider that but as it is a global app I was unsure how we could show different number styles from around the world. Maybe a future update. It would be nice to enter car reg number and details automatically get pulled in. Bit too hard to do that across multiple countries/databases :(

Users could take a photo of their reg plate and use that as the cars pic?!...maybe that could be the work around for people wanting to show reg number :thumbsup

Just had a look at your site. Nice and simple, gets the job done. As a small suggestion for improvement, you could order the faq with the most positive answer first. This would give a better impression as currently the first answer is 'no' which kind of stops me reading on about all the decent features.

Here are a few screen dumps from part of my journey home. My wife and my app guy are the two map pins up in Inverurie.
Worked really well as my wife tracked my whole journey and had the coffee ready when I arrived :D

I heard a 'new' sound from my phone that was obviously alerting me to something - sure enough I need to renew the insurance on the winter hack. Liking your app :thumbsup
