Find My Car Smarter Pro App Reviews

New version works great!! Battery drain issues are gone. If you park at meter or at different spots this app is for you!b

This version seems to have fixed the battery drain issue for me… Have a problem now that every so often when I park my car the app doesnt update. this happens maybe 1 out of every 7 times. Not sure why this is happening. Over all I am very please with the way the app performs.

This app and device are a great thing to have when you are in a large parking area. I dont have a lot of need to use it but when I do (airport, Disneyland, concerts) its a godsend. Be advised that the previous battery drain issue HAS been solved. I actually never had the issue but some users did. Ive used other similar apps but always forgot to enter the location info when I parked. With FindMyCar Smarter its a no brainier. It just works.

All of the battery drain issues have been completely resolved. Thanks guys, this app is now amazing!

As an original Kickstarter backer, I experienced the growing pains this system had during its first few months. Im happy to report that all battery drain issues have been resolved, and I am very pleased with the constant communication the FMC team maintained with backers during the early trials. I LOVE this system...set it and forget it (until you need at it!) at its finest!

The app does what it says. The dongle does what it says, the updates have fixed the power consumption problem. The pairing procedure seems to be described as more complicated than it really is. And they added hybrid map mode, so this app is everything I want. As for parking decks, maybe they should install local GPS transmitters anyway.

Just keeps getting better with each update. This is a must have app for anyone parking in hugh lots.

First of all the idea is great. So is the developer who gets back to emails in a very timely manner and even accommodated features I suggested. The problem is that this app doesnt work reliably. Sometimes it captures the spot I parked and sometimes it doesnt. If this app would work reliably I would rate it 5 stars...

This app used to work great, but it randomly doesnt pick up that my car stopped sometimes. Some of those battery life fixes to the program killed its reliability. I think that it is quitting in the background, and relaunching fixes it.

I liked it until they change the icon!

So I just got the bluetooth dongle and bought the app version 1.3.1 It does work very well, as it connects to the bluetooth smart dongle every time. The app also is very accurate when it comes to marking where my car is parked. Best of all I never have to think about it. The FMCS App works exactly the way it says in the description Only reason it is not a perfect 5 star app is the location services icon is always on. I fully understand that it is a limitation of Apple(went to the FMCS forum and read why the icon always appears for cell tower notification). If somehow Apple and the FMCS could find a way to have the cell tower location service run with out the icon.... It would be then a 5 star app.

UPDATE: The new release fixes most of the issues I was facing. I added a few geofences at the places I park most like the gym, work, home etc. With this extra bit of configuration the app works really great coz Im always either leaving from or arriving at these geofences. Any other location I park usually needs 10+ miles of travel and in cases like this the iOS based cell tower monitoring works great 90% of the time, again based on the distance travelled with greater distance travelled being better. Adding geofences was a neat little idea and this app deserves 5 start rating or sure :) I do also feel that the icon is kinda ugly. UPDATE: The app depends on cell towering monitoring. Its got something to do with cell coverage I guess and the app doesnt update my location half the times even when I travel distances around 10miles. I live in San Diego. Waiting for the next iOS update so this problem can be fixed.

This is a great app which gets better with every upgrade. I couldnt do without it

I was a KickStarter early supporter of this software/hardware package. It works great and really without me even needing to think about it. I havent lost my car yet!

App runs in the background and is always there when I need it. Buy the cigarette lighter plug in if your car powers down the accessory plug when you turn the engine off. It works great.

I love that I can easily find my car easily. The fact that I dont have to remember to activate this little beauty is what really makes it marvelous. The $25 Bluetooth widget arrived within days of my having ordered it. I also appreciate the automatic car travel log that measures where, when, how long it took to get there, and how I stayed parked. Excellent!!

Works great!

It works like a charm. This is the most useful app for me on my iPhone. I use it every day. It works great and solves a big problem for me.

Had quitting trouble with earlier versions but so far this version working very well.

Im always losing my car in the big parking lots of supermarkets and box box stores...this app has fine enough GPS resolution to help me find it!
