Review summary

Plate Lookup app offers a convenient way to access vehicle information quickly, which is appreciated by automotive professionals. However, multiple users report that the information is often inaccurate or outdated, especially owner details. The app frequently requires costly payments with deceptive claims about free searches, and users face errors and glitches that impact usability. Customer support is poor, with multiple complaints about unauthorized charges and difficulty obtaining refunds. Overall, while potentially useful for basic vehicle data, many users find it unreliable and overpriced for the promised services.

Pros

Provides general and VIN information that is sometimes accurate and useful, especially to those in the automotive industry like mechanics.
App is faster and more convenient than websites for quick vehicle information lookups.
Some users find the app helpful for verifying certain vehicle details, like VIN and general data.

Cons

Information provided is often false or outdated, including incorrect owner details and vehicle reports.
The app frequently requires payment for information, with misleading claims about unlimited free searches and high costs for credits or reports.
Users experience technical issues such as app errors, glitches, and error messages preventing functionality.
Difficult or impossible to get refunds or contact support, with reports of multiple erroneous charges and poor customer service.
Does not consistently accept US state inputs, causing errors and making the app unusable for some users. Also, owner information (name, address, phone) is rarely accessible without extra charges.

2026-03-01	Ku*****	This is NOT a plate reader! It uses a 3rd party "public records" website to glean the data, then charges $1.95 with automatic monthly subscription for $24.95. I went through the motions to see how well it worked. It took my money, but nothing delivered. Update: Infotracer fixed the issue. Turns out you're redirected to your State's DMV where it costs $12 and an attestation that you're purchasing the vehicle. Don't waste your time.
