I just installed the app and took a look.

I find it a PITA to have to enter all the details for a vehicle each time it is used.

also, the 2D view is almost useless to find a vehicle in reference to where you are.
Compare to this app which is my default 'find my car' app. it gives me 3D view as in Google Earth.
I can actually determine which parking spot the car was left at.

As for locating a friend?
that is going to eat up a lot of DATA, and if you are on a limited DATA budget as most of us are, the app won't ever be used. My daughter and I share a Family dataplan. no way will we ever use something like this. We have to keep our data below 1 gB/month. We never surf away from home, WiFi only.

I find it much better to use a Macro such as MacroDroid can provide which just simply monitors SMS messages searching for a phrase, ie, "whereareyou" and it then turns on the GPS, gets the current location, and then sends a google link back so the requestor can use their data/WiFi to look at a map and see where you are.

This is just one user's opinion, but this app will burn up battery and data faster than normal.
I don't see it ever getting a lot of use.

FWIW, YMMV, and my opinions are my own, and worth every cent you did not have to pay for.
 
Oh, one more thing.

I find it a bit misleading that you have 13 reviews, all from your home region, and there is no way for me to enter a review of your product. I would have posted the above in that review if I could have.
 
Hi Azgl1500 thanks for telling me a

Hi thanks for giving the proper review for my app I am new to Android development and this is my first proper Android app I will update my app according to your review and I also want to tell you that only once you have to give proper details afterwards you simply tap Re-Add button to add your vehicle once again
 
One thing I forgot to tell that maps available in app is only to view parking location of your vehicle actually it depends upon Google maps for navigation because of Google privacy policy so you can select 3d view or not depends upon user

Thank you for the clarification. :)

I will go back and mess with it some more once I get out of this hospital....
visiting my wife today.... she is anxiously looking for this upcoming Saturday for 'escaping the prison walls' ;), she received her Eviction Notice today :p

she gets to go home!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

for the first time since admitted on August 19th... :(
 
Oh, one more minor comment.

I have noticed that just about every developer proclaims their app as "The Best" on Play Store.

that irks me, as a new app has not had time to be judged by its' peers.

I automatically reject all claims of 'best', the only thing that has any merit is the ratings of the reviewers.... and, those reviewers need to be scattered around the Globe with different regional names.

Hernandez, or Alfalfa, or Thompson, etc.... if the only reviewers that are seen all appear to be from the same exact region as yourself, to me, that is nothing more than a lot of your friends trying to help you out with some "good reviews".

all that aside, kudos for learning Android and creating an app that works as described.
the "Tune up" enhancements will come as you improve in your new craft.

This is exactly why I refuse to use any of these type apps. You are burning up DATA and very few of us have UnLimited DATA plans.

The only time you should update a location is "at the request of the person needing the new update".

If you want to imitate WAZE, then go ahead and do so... that is another mapping app I refuse to use. It makes the cellphones get HOT, blazingly HOT! you have to mount the phones in front of the A/C duct on a car, or it will get hot and overheat... and hopefully, the CPU will just slow down the cycles to keep the temps under control.

What you have just said, will cause me to uninstall the app, and forget all about it.
