Car Spotting App
How do I add a car spotting with the app?
Tap the clear 'Add Spotting' button, then take a photo or choose one from your gallery. You'll need to grant location, camera, and photo permissions, and then you can fill in details like make and model.
Can I see my own past spottings on a map?
Yes, when you add a spotting you can place it on a map, which is great for tracking locations. However, finding your own posts later can be tricky because the menus aren't clearly labeled—look for a section that might be called 'My Spots' or similar.
Why is the model list so confusing, and how can I fix it?
The model list uses abbreviations and codes that can be overwhelming. If you can't find the right option, you can simply type the model name yourself instead of scrolling through the dropdown.
The app keeps asking for permissions every time I post. Is this normal?
Yes, the app requests location, camera, and photo gallery permissions each time you add a spotting. To make it faster, you can pre-approve these permissions in your phone's settings so you don't have to tap through them every time.
How does Car Spotting App compare to other car logging apps like Roadkill?
Car Spotting App is free and has a community feed and map feature, which Roadkill lacks. However, Roadkill is simpler for beginners because it uses plain language and has fewer confusing menus, making it easier for non-tech users to log cars quickly.
