Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Some countries have license plates that encode the geographic location from where the vehicle comes from. This app lets you lookup the location that belongs to a certain license plate. This app is the ideal companion for anyone who travels a lot on roads and motorways and repeatedly comes across unknown license plates. A long holiday trip can also be a little more entertaining with this app. Looking up license plates also works when you're offline, especially when you're stuck in a traffic jam on the highway! Supported countries: - Germany - Austria (Pro) - Switzerland (Pro) Since we don't want our users to be spied on, we decided to keep this app completely ad-free!
