Well impressed. Nice and simple. I'm forever missing mot dates. My record was 9 months! Although to be fair I was sure it was sold to me with a years tax and mot :lol: no excuses now! :cheers

It should work on an iPad Tut....never tried that yet. I just bought my wife an iPad mini for Xmas so will try it on that too but I think it will not as was designed prior to the mini.

I won't be ordering that Evora any time soon! I have a Lite version with Apple for review now (I was listening about free versions) so hopefully this will help with the traction!
I will start advertising in the New Year and should be getting an editorial in the Press & Journal 'You Car' section early next year. Top Gear mag adverts next year too. Advertising is really expensive so I need to be a bit careful how/when to spend the budget that I don't have lol.

I am getting involved with IAM too so hopefully I can help them promote their stuff via my Twitter and FB feeds and fingers crossed they will return the favour by promoting it to their 100,000 members in 9 counties :thumbsup
I tested the map function with their membership development manager and he liked the app which is good!

I guess it takes money, time and luck to get app sales moving?!
Any marketing advice welcome folks :cheers

you're missing out on loads of people by only having an iphone version - the majority of people are on android or Windows mobile. I'd have bought a copy if it was compatible with my phone or tablet

These versions will get done if the Apple version sells enough to justify it. :thumbsup

Where did you get your iPad mini from Andrew?

Verian want's to get me one for Xmas, Apple online have none at all, the Aberdeen shop has some but all in black. They are available on eBay from the USA and China, but do not want to go that route, and the odd one from elsewhere at silly prices.

if anybody knows of a white 32gb Wi-Fi, then please let me know.
