"Worked perfect!
Went to see a concert in a round venue. If you exit out the wrong door, as I always do, your screwed and it takes forever to find your car as eveything looks the same. This app worked perfectly! All we had to do was follow the arrow and we found our car with no problem. Would definitely recommend it."

Mike on December 17, 2011
"nearly perfect.
A great app for everyone that gets turned around in a parking lot. Never loose your car again. The compass needs a little work, but the map will guide you directly to your car. Easy to use and understand, and doesn't use a lot of battery life."

Marc on March 8, 2012

What are users saying about MyCar Locator Free

Works great. If you don't have both wifi and GPS on, it will complain and ask to turn them on, but just hit the cancel, and it still works. It may take up to 30 seconds to get a lock, but I think that's as good as it gets. Does not work in multi level indoor parking garages, but you can mark your parking spot at the garage entrance, and take notes where your car is.

by Z####:

Almost every time I press either the Park or Find me buttons, I get the window that says limited or no GPS--yet my map programs are all working fine. Not too useful if I have to stand waiting for it to work. I might as well look for my car the old fashioned way.

I was a bit concerned when I parked my car in BFE Parking at the Raleigh concert, knowing that it would be dark when I had to find it again. Then I remembered I'd down loaded this app and never used it. Worked great! I found my car with no trouble at all nearly a quarter mile away, around many a bend! Exactly what it was supposed to do with nearly no confusion. Highly recommended! App comes with a compass like Jack Sparrow's, that always points to your car and a GPS map that Jack would have orgasmed over!

This would be a great app (shows nearby bus stops and metro platforms) if it would recognize my GPS signal! When I first installed and turned it on yesterday with GPS, the map found me and everything was cool. Just now when I parked my car a block away, I turned my GPS on, then started the app, pressed "Park" and it tells me to turn my GPS on. Tried it three times: Find me, Park... nothing. Uninstall.

Y70%
by Y####:

Great app for finding the exact location of your car. Few downsides: when you hit "find me" you can't go back to the car's location maybe have a "find my car" button to take the screen back to where the vehicle is. Also, it would be amazing if the app could detect when you're driving that way it automatically updates your current parking spot, much like Google Now's feature.

What a great little app! I just installed & thought i would try it out. I set where i 'parked', i 'lost' my car, clicked navigate, start navigation, & bingo! The app took me to the location down to inches of where i 'parked'! The mind boggles at items you're at risk of losing you could retrieve if you got into the habit of setting it's location on this app. Eg: your phone when you go visiting, your wallet when you go to the pub, your kids when you go to the park! ;) Easy to use & it works. Great job guys!

After deleting Car Locator, I tried MyCar Locator Free and had better luck. 1. MCL sports a big arrow that directs the user where to walk, and it is easily seen in bright sun. 2. The app is fairly accurate, getting the user to within 10 feet of a set point nearly all of the time. 3. There is a neat "Where am I" feature, that when combined with Google Maps, shows where the user in on a satellite or street view. The data feature, it seems, must be turned on for this, along with the GPS. 4. Starting with five stars, I deleted one because it does not look like users can store locations for later use, or mark two important locations at one time. Car Locator offered that feature. 5. I deleted a second star because the developer did not respond to an inquiry, even after a week has gone by. Other developers typically reply withing 48 hours.

If cell signal is poor or out of data range then the app cannot find GPS. It loads map but cannot find GPS signal, or so it says, when I'm in an open space with clear skies. Makes no sense why it tells me to turn on GPS when it's already turned in. But when it works, it's great. Can't depend on it to work consistently. Looking for a more reliable car locator app.

Y70%
by Y####:

It has been a big help a number of times. Like when I went to a Wis Badger game with 80,000 other people and parked pretty far away in an unfamiliar city. One miss. It is always telling GPS is not high accuracy. One future improvement. Option to retrace route back to car.

N70%
by N####:

I've used this and for the most part it is very accurate. I wanted to try an App called Car Locator (Edward Kim). I emailed the developer with some questions (3 times) - no response. I can see why - it just revolves and revolves and NEVER finds my location. I guess you don't always get what you paid for, since Kim wants $3.99, which isn't much, but it DOESN'T WORK.

K70%
by K####:

It definitely helps you finding your car (or anything else) if you remember marking the location. Maybe an automatic marking system would be beneficial. After all, the GPS can detect your speed and knows exactly when you drive or walk. This is how pokemon go detects cheaters as well :)

I'm old and totally unskilled in technology. Easy to use. But it works great. Use it when I'm in the woods. This map comes up of my forrested area. It's perfect. Shows my car. Shows me. Bang. Done. Under canopy of trees. Can't see stars, find your way out and to your car. My only wish is to mark several places I always go in as waypoints. That way I don't have to remember to do this before I leave each time. It works great for me. And yes I've have used it to find my car in parking lots. Works there also.

I have a real problem finding my car when I'm in a new area or a huge parking lot. This was simple to use and very helpful. I went to the doctor, my mind was in a hundred different places and I located my car immediately! The more option helps, you can note row, aisle, etc. I'm def going to recommend to friends and family!

Lost in Reykjavik. Set the location of my car in downtown Reykjavik then turned off the phone. I thought I had a good idea of where we had parked but not even close. After turning the phone back on and selecting navigate we were returned to our car in 7 minutes. No sleeping on a doorstep in an unfamiliar country.

this app did not direct me to the exact space I was parked in it got me within 30 feet of the my truck. BUT,its better than the alternative of walking around a full parking lot looking for your vehicle. :

by Y####:

Never works at all. Just tells me that it can't do anything until I turn my GPS settings on, and gives me a button to push to go to those settings. But when I go there, my GPS is on (as I knew it was). And all my other GPS apps work just fine. (LG G3)

Well! It doesn't suck. Saves me a butt load of pain cause of my disability & I don't have to roam the giant parking lots looking for my car in a sea of vehicles. Pretty accurate as well

Z70%
by Z####:

Used it several times in large parking lots. Mark your spot and forget it. When you are ready to return just open the app and follow the arrow. Very accurate and it tells how far away your car (or whatever you marked) is. Very useful

Y70%
by Y####:

Good but not great! Very simple and works, however it would be better if you could share the location. That way if you get separated from your bodies they can find the car too.

Clear and sunny day, used GPS on phone to get me to the location with a wide open parking lot. Try to use app and tap "park" and app says GPS is off and directs me to turn GPS on in settings. HUH?!?! Just used GPS on the same phone to get there. LOL! Bizarre!!!!

Out of dozens of attempts. It can't find me or finds me blocks away-not very helpful to find your car. Keeps asking to turn on GPS when it's on. Samsung S4. Useless app

Y70%
by Y####:

Works amazing when it works... lol alot of times I've noticed it will say can't get a location. I'm in Maryland and using Samsung galaxy. I feel it shouldn't have issues. Gotta move around and mess with GPS settings to get it to park me but the other app I tried was terrible wasn't even close to locating my car. This app is really good almost spot on. Guaranteed to get you atleast within 3 car lengths away. :)

I have tried to get this to work over a dozen times in various locations over a long period. It worked once. On all other occasions it failed to open, saying I needed GPS. But GPS was on every time. Uninstalling - a literal waste of space.

A great app - saves me from my nightmare situation of not being able to find my car easily in downtown Manhattan. Has your car been towed, stolen, or have you forgotten where it is in an unfamiliar town? Never wonder again with this very useful app.

This makes it difficult if you dont remember to set it after you park. Seniors have a difficult time remembering to do that.

Kiss app. Would I like a visual bread Crumb on screen. Also, hard to use if you do not remember which level you parked on. As I can get lost in a phone booth, a fix for this would be GREAT!

T70%
by T####:

This app rocks! I downloaded it when I was about to park in Cincinnati. We walked around for about four hours, got somewhat lost and this app brought us right back to the car. We just followed the arrow. Simple as pie. I love it!

I have tried everything to get this app to work. It just magically never finds my GPS even with it on and me outside. Worthless app. Don't waste your time.

Y70%
by Y####:

Overall I think this is a pretty good app. However, I notice a fair amount of battery use when I haven't even been using the application. And why do so many of the applications want or need to access your contacts?

I am retired have lots of girls shopping days sometimes long and Then oops where's my car I forgot Ha Ha Never Again This little App is a Must I use it as well as all of my friends 5 Stars & Thanks

I haven't used it in an indoor lot yet, but works outdoors without any problems. I like the double-tap feature when GPS signal isn't perfect. Easy to leave comments too.

I don't find myself wondering about parking lots anymore hunting for my car. Helps me with my CRS...

B70%
by B####:

Without vertical out altitude support it cannot help you find out what level on a parking garage you are on. Mostly useless to me.

G70%
by G####:

Especially for outdoor parking it's very accurate. For indoor parking, GPS signal depleted quite a lot to accuracy of 30 meters.

S70%
by S####:

After install I tested while being in the house and tested at night. It picked me up 100% fine showing the correct house and where in the house I am even under a thick concrete roof. So I know it will work perfectly to locate my car in a shopping mall complex.

Went to an NBA game tonight and before parking my brother mentioned that he had walked around for an hour looking for car after the last game he went to. Downloaded the app, and sure enough after the game we were headed in the wrong direction until I opened up the app. Got us right to it even in a huge parking lot.

Flew out to Vegas for an event at the speed way, 3 days of all night partying. Couldn't remember where I parked since every morning I walked out a different exit, opened the app it walked me back to my car every morning.

by N####:

Good to give you a good idea where you've parked at malls, festivals, etc. Directional pointer is a bit wonky tho ... often acts like a compass with a magnet orbiting me.

K70%
by K####:

The pointer took some getting used to, but it does help when your internal compass gets turned around. With most GPS apps, they're useless in a parking garage or in a city with tall buildings. This app though give you the ability to pinpoint your location and add notes to help you locate your car later! Awesome!

Em, the Apps great for finding the car,,,when the arrow is directing in the right direction,,however i would rather find my car by GPS navigation ie when some one has driven of in it,,its okay installing regular parking possitions,,how about the App actuely informing you of were the car is,,ie you may of lent it out and want to no were it is i guess this should be more looked into ie bluechip interaction when the vehicle is out and about and you not knowing were it is,,you no the the situation you go to wall mart,your car is stollen of course you want to no were it has gone so how does this "App" get the GPS cordinance and satalight navigation straight to the car,,,woo im coming down with forgetfulness those frigging tow rags they stole my little Betty.
