Find My Car Reviews

by Rdg 2014-12-20

Continually revises directions, sometimes even directing that one make a u-turn so as to follow a new routing. Doesn't provide feedback as one moves along, rather the next direction pops up and, as stated, sometimes says to retrace steps and follow a different set of directions. At one point, it kept saying I was 60 feet away from my destination and remained at "60 feet away" for the next 15 minutes of walking. This was in Rome, Italy. I'd recommend: STAY AS FAR AWAY from FindMyCar as you can!!

App looked good, even though most reviews were 5 years old, and there is no privacy disclosure. Downloaded to try anyway. Not only can you not pay a fee to get ad free, the ads you can’t stop include audio! Over the top. Doesn’t matter how well it works.

FindMyCar used to be one of the better car location apps. One of it's better traits was that it maintained the car's location even if the phone had to be rebooted. Using it lately (haven't used it since the last update) has shown me that the only thing that works now are the ads. No longer a good app. Not even a half decent app.
Also, others have said that paying the in-app purchase still shows ads. Will never use again.

I sent a email to support in October of 2014 and got a response that advised me that if more people have the problem then it will be updated. I even sent a few suggestion on how to fix the issue.

FindMyCar works fine if your cigarette port turns off when the car is turn off. So if you don't have any ports that turn off with the car then this item will not work, since the hardware component in the car needs to have the car off to work.

Also if you have remote start that make the ports have power, then FindMyCar won't work for you either.

All my ports are on so I had to convert one to make it turn off but I still have the issue of it working with remote start. If I do remote start the car then the red dot on FindMyCar that indicates where my car is goes away. The only workaround I have tried is to sync to Dropbox but then there is the issue of added clicking and there is no direction just "North is Up".

You only have one parking spot you are wanting to mark. Recently left my vehicle in the airport parking lot, marking the spot so I could find it upon my return 10 days later. then used FindMyCar to mark my rental car parking spot...app overwrote my personal vehicle's spot so I had to rely on the tried and true key fob alarm button. Very disappointed. Will be looking at different apps after that experience.

I use this whenever I’m at a place I’m not familiar with. It works wonders! Wish it could allow other map apps besides Apple Maps

I have always used FindMyCar to find my parked car and it had worked well. However I went boating and used FindMyCar to also find my boat dock. I labeled the dock as 'set my car location' and traveled several miles away. Then used 'find my car' to find my way back to the dock.

I saved my car's location, walked 1/2 mile out. I then walked back to the car's indicated location, the accuracy was very high. If I could'nt see my car, I would have had to be blind. The saved location and the return, I encounterd about 3 ft of difference.

Ive used FindMyCar 4 times at DisneyWorld locations and all 4 times it worked perfectly. Used it on a 4S running iOS5. For a free app you couldnt ask for better functionality. I would say in the paid version (with augmented reality) I think it would be cool if the phone buzzed within a certain distance of the car point (20 feet lets say) that would be nice.

Great tool when parking at Disney World 😁

I appreciate FindMyCar!

FindMyCar is the TRUTH exactly what I needed

I go to a university with tons of parking lots. Now, I never have to worry about where my car is parked. FindMyCar is amazing! It's simple, easy to use, and extremely convenient! I got it free too! Overall, love FindMyCar.

Great app

While biking on a trail, my friend couldn't go any further because of dehydration. I established our location by 'Set my Car location'. Pedaled my bike back to the car(12 miles). Used Find My Car to find where I left my friend on the trail. Drove to the location,EXACTLY. Got him home safely.

Does exactly what it claims. You do have to allow for about 10-15 meters of inaccuracy, but given how far away the GPS satellites are, it'll get you close enough that you should be able to use the notes, optional photo and the car alarm to get you the rest of the way there.

I went to the moon on a secret mission. I set my save my car location and took off on the lunar rover. I got lost after several hours in the mountainous craters and with nightfall approaching fast (lol) and O2 running low, I remembered to use the find my (spaceship) app and it worked! It saved my life and the secret mission. Oops, that was supposed to be secret, but oh well.

Downloaded this when I got to the stadium, set my location and went inside. When we left, took us RIGHT to our car. Not close, but exactly the correct row and spot. As we left, we saw dozens of people roaming the parking lot, all hitting the button on their remote, looking for their cars (half drunk, I'm sure). Horns beating all around. They should have downloaded FindMyCar!

Love ❤️ it

App used to run fine. After updating to iOS 9 it crashes. It seems to crash when the ad view should be loading

Went to the zoo and parked .3 miles from the front gate in virtually a straight line. When I came out it said my car was .3 miles away and gave me a roundabout walking route to it that was almost 2 miles. The driving route was even further. No indication of how to proceed otherwise. If someone else would have had to find my car they would have been out of luck. Totally useless.

Ripp-Off. Stay away. Besides the rip-off add-on, the paid version of FindMyCar works ok for finding your car parked on the street but it does not work to find your car in a parking lot-at least not for me. Also, it is easy to erase the data. Once, I erased it by accident and imagine how would you feel after trusting FindMyCar ? Time to find something better.

This looks like an app designed for iOS3 with ads plastered everywhere. On startup and in the main windows. And then you devote another quarter of the screen to pushing your in-app purchase. The map area is ridiculously tiny. Terrible app.

by Jkirk1626

A huge button erases your old location, replacing it with a new location because you touched a virtual button that you very likely hit by accident.

by Wordlea

Just downloaded the paid version cuz this is a really good app to use to locate your vehicle. BUT I am really bummed to still see ads on my screen. Very disappointing.

by Blazedup.com

I tried it 3 times at work in a parking garage and it's not accurate.

by Ossidog

Deleting it, just to many ads.

by Warnacutt

So far I like it. I updated to paid version. I hope that there aren't a lot of stupid adds. If they do, I'll drop it. When I pay for an app, I don't expect to be hounded by adds.

by CHillyDogs!!

Works very well once you set it to satellite view there are some ads and if your not paying attention you may delete your save location but I have never had a problem

FindMyCar will come in handy for holiday shopping!! I'm always forgetting were I parked my car.
