My Car 2.0.1521.1
Those who own a Windows Phone handset can pick from the many dedicated apps the one that is best suited for their needs and those who are looking for a more versatile all-rounder could take for a spin My Car.
Plain front-end, with a very practical side
The large, animated tiles that are shown inside the main screen of this app are the main attraction fro the visual point of view. The charts and diagrams are pretty standard, but, overall, the graphics have a decent look to them.
An advantage of this utility is the smooth navigation among the various sections, with some slight delays when loading the statistical data, which is usually pretty consistent.
Some annoying ad banners appear in the lower side of the main screen, but, fortunately, they will remain there for the most part, so you will not come across them in every corner of the app. After a few uses, a prompt asking you to rate My Car comes into view as well.
Detailed fuel and maintenance task monitoring
This application allows you to customize the entries for all the cars you want to include in its database and with a couple of taps add refueling information. This data can be edited after the entry is saved, so you can add some precise numbers in case you missed that in the first go.
My Car is able to track a few types of events, so you can include all sorts of events pertaining to various expense types like insurance, taxes or spare parts, as well as service costs, odometer values and random notes you might need to keep close at hand.
Detailed charts and stats, with useful reminders on the side
The app is very good at keeping tabs on the refueling data, cost statistics, odometer readings and so on, all the details being readily available from the dedicated area.
Through relevant charts that can be filtered to display specific periods of time you can get a better idea about the fuel efficiency, monthly costs, fuel price evolution and a lot more.
The reminder function of My Car enables you to create service specific events or other type of notifications that you will receive at the specified time. Recurrent event are supported as well, but a good deal of more advanced features wil lonely become available once you purchase the Pro Pack.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The looks are not too impressive and the advertisements shown in the main screen of the application are quite a downer. |
Function9
The utility has a very strong feature set inside, as it is ready to record a lot of data and present it in a friendly manner. |
Security9
The app remains on the safe side at all times and the only thing it is interested in without a visible connection to the actual functionality is the phone identity. |
Battery5
When used for longer periods of time, the power consumption soars to very high levels and this means the battery will discharge a lot faster than expected. |
Price9
Overall, this tool is a must have for anyone serious about keeping track of costs, refueling and odometer data and the in-app purchases will solve the ad issue as well as add the extra features. |
Compatibility8
The more recent devices on the market, namely those that are powered by Windows Phone 8 and above can accommodate this application without issues. |
