Have a feature idea? hello@platelookup.app
This is extremely useful for my work where I need to keep record of suspicious vehicles in my area. What would make this app perfect is if every search was saved in the history tab with a date and time that you searched it. Also if you could search for make/model in the history tab to pull up all your searches matching your make/model. Lastly it would be nice if there was a tally of how many times a specific plate has been looked up but honestly if I’m looking at a vehicle that much I’ll mostly likely already have a tally of my own for the specific plate so it’s not that significant.

Thank you for your feedback! We will work on the search as well as many other features and will release them in the nearest future.
I wish it were not sideways on the iPad

Very useful app. Adapts to iPad screen but cannot handle turning sideways. Tough on iPad Pro as you end up typing sideways (rises from bottom to top as I type here). It would be such a small thing to be able to handle screen orientation changes…But on an iPhone, exceptionally useful.
App Doesn’t Work

I used this app before in September 2020 and it was amazing. There was no limit to how many license plates I could look up and it would give me lots of information. Now, whenever I try to look up a license plate, it just says “Internal Server Error”. This is happening for most license plates. Please fix this.
Developer Response
Thank you for your feedback! We still offer unlimited license plate lookups and the bug you described is fixed. Please let us know if you’re still experiencing this issue at info@licenseplatelookup.io
Outstanding UI

This app is perfect! It has the best user interface I’ve ever seen, don’t bother using any of the license plate lookup websites online that take forever to load and are ugly and confusing. Also the option to take a picture is super helpful in a lot of different situations.
Added free VIN decoder
