towing: when in the field and we need to find out fast if car is FWD, RWD, AWD we use this app, it provides all the necessary info. the only downfall is when u speak a vin it almost never gets it right, and the scanner seems to be pretty picky!

I've had the app for years. Worked good, Does what i need, tho more would be nice. But, about 2 weeks ago, i went to use it and crashed before it even opened. No idea why.

No option to save Vin lookup history. Looks up vin# and appears to save history but after a while all the history disappears I had over 13 Vin in my history that I needed for long term lookup ability ie 2 months or more down the road I may need to know what cars were processed so having a date along with the vins would make this app #1 in its class. If you could make that possible 5 stars from me. Thanks

Says in description it's good for post-1981 VIN Numbers, I work in 1980's Toyotas and they have 10 digit VIN's until 1987-ish in general. Keeps throwing errors on the few VIN Numbers I have here. Any chance of a fix to use these numbers?

I really like this app. I record VINs onsite for the purpose of ordering parts or verifying what a customer is telling me over the phone. Before this app, I would write VINs on a piece of paper, or type them into my phone manually. With vinWOW, I scan in VINs if the VIN barcode is visible. Today I scanned a VIN thru a windshield on a '10 Ford Mustang. Worked perfect. Scanned or typed-in VINs can be pasted into other apps. Please change last 6 digits must me numbers. Some VINs don't follow that format.
