Useless. The vital information, such as any pending tickets, fines, or accidents, is hidden behind a paywall. Only shows car model. Google will tell you that for free with no extra bs.

used to work great. now every search says not available potentially due to owner privacy settings. but having registered all of my own cars in my state, I know there isn't a "privacy option". so either the error is wrong, or they're losing access to databases.

Very accurate, but as a suggestion, they could add that when you tap in the car's model, is copied to the clipboard.

Used to work great, but for a few months now it doesn't seem to find any vehicle in France. It's a shame, it was a useful tool.

When I do the Spanish number plates it keeps saying this The vehicle with the registration plates was not found. This can be due to: * the registration plate doesn't exists, * the car is too recent, * the owner choose the privacy option when registering the car. When I did the France and the Netherlands number plates thay worked but not the spannish one so please fix that bug thanks JD

Accurate enough for most cars. But if it is an older car with older plates or personal plates, forget it. This is for cars in California.

5 months passed and no new car as been added to Portugal. New license plates have a success rate of 1%. If you need to know what car is stick with the autodoc parts app or website.

Doesn't work in dark mode and doesn't work for any of the cars I tried in Portugal. Useless

Was able to identify a car I've never seen before. Also you can just type the plate in manually without the camera which is super nice.
