What Makes Car Spotting by MotorTrend Stand Out
Car Spotting by MotorTrend is a real-world gaming app for anyone who has ever seen a car and wished they could park it in their garage. We have created a custom algorithm to enable your camera to recognize hundreds of cars including 17 car cards for you to collect in your virtual garage.
Features:
Augmented Reality car capture using machine learning to recognize and capture cars in the real world using your phone’s camera.
Virtual garage featuring target cars to seek out and capture. Once captured you can unlock these cars in your garage and view specs including an overview, stats on power and performance, and pricing.
Instructions:
Touch the camera capture icon to access the capture screen.
Simply point your camera at one of the target cars and look for the meter at the bottom of the screen to fill up as the car is identified.
Once captured, target cars in your virtual garage can be unlocked to view information and stats about that vehicle.
This Adventure game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We have to identify a lot of random cars for our job, and we dont know cars well at all, but this app gets us 99% accurate all the time. Ive cycled through several similar apps, and this is our favorite. Its functional, accurate, and best of all, consistent. The only thing that could improve is if it would help us figure out a vehicles year, too.
Would be good if the app could open.
We work in an area with lots of high end cars. Theres beer money on who gets them all first! The machine learning algorithm is way cool, its like an AI the way it learns.
This is very inaccurate it just told be that a grand national is a ford f 150 its just only programmed for very popular cars if you could just make it more accurate and program it to know more unpopular cars this would be a great app but we dont see why ppl are giving it five stars but if you could fix these things Ill give it five stars.
This app is accurate. Well, accurate enough. The app gets more confused when scanning more rounded cars like old VWs, other more curvy classic cars and the like, but for most cars its very good. The algorithm for identifying cars is really smart and will give you results the majority of the time. We wouldnt say 99% correctness, but compared to all its competitors, this apps performance way outdoes their car spotting accuracy. That makes this app the go-to car spotting app.
Great app with tons of potential. Just needs an update with more cars to collect.
Love this app so fun cant wait for more cars have been collecting all of the cars just off the streets.
Its great and fun but everyone is having one problem you. Cant create a account it says that its already been used even tho its never been used the email so fix that pls.
The app seems great but when we make an account no matter what email we use It keeps saying user with username already exists. Its quite annoying and we would like to be able to save our account information.
We believe that this is a genius idea. So whoever thought of this well done. The reading is on point. But with that being said you need to add more cars to the list. You only get a few amount of cars to collect. If you guys could possibly add in a LOT more cars to the game that would make this game one of the greatest apps of all time.
We open the app, click join the car spotting club, and go to create an account. We enter everything required for the new account but it says our email is already being used by another account. We tried 4 different emails and it says all of them are being used. We have never once made an account and this is our first time downloading this app. Im not sure if this is a bug or not but Im not even able to use the app. Please fix this.
Even when we use emails that do not have accounts it still says we need an account.
We are trying to create an account but the app says that email address has already been used.
Way to move forward MotorTrend! Such a cool way to feed the inner car geek.
What a fun app. Thanks for bringing this to Detroit.
