About VINSmart
VINSmart® is an easy, inexpensive way to purchase vehicle history PLUS vehicle value reports. VINSmart provides consumers with easy access to vehicle history reports by simply entering a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Vehicle histories purchased through the VINSmart app are $12.99, for a report containing information supplied by the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) database, which includes data compiled by participating state Motor Vehicle Agencies, insurance carriers, salvage auctions, and auto recyclers. In addition, with every vehicle history report, VINSmart provides the vehicle value using data from industry-leader NADA (National Automobile Dealers Association).
VINSmart is significant to customers and dealers who are looking to purchase used cars. In order to provide customers with convenience, VINSmart’s free mobile app lets the user speak the VIN, or take a picture of the vehicle’s VIN barcode, instead of manually entering the VIN on a PC or phone. However, manually entering the VIN is also an option.
By accessing vehicle history data compiled by the Department of Justice, through their multi-year effort to create the NMVTIS database, VINSmart protects consumers from fraud and reduces the use of stolen vehicles. NMVTIS is used by US states and law enforcement agencies, and is the only nationwide database of vehicle history that DMVs, insurance carriers, and junk/salvage yards that are required by law to report into. As one of the few approved NMVTIS providers, VINSmart is proud to provide this consumer-protection tool to the public, to greatly reduce vehicle history fraud, prevent a significant number of crimes, and potentially save the lives of consumers who might otherwise and unknowingly purchase unsafe vehicles.
VINSmart understands that customers appreciate being able to have convenience at their fingertips. With its mobile app, VINSmart has taken the user experience to the next level by helping evaluate vehicle purchasing decisions on the go.

I would not recommend this app, for $12 you get just the information/specs about a vehicle, absolutely no history of the vehicle at all. Do to the vague nature of previous reviews, I should've known they were fake... Do not purchase this app, it really is just a means of Vinsmart stealing your money.
