Car spotting,
explained.
Is SPOT free to download?
SPOT CAR is available now on the App Store. Download it on an iPhone running iOS 18 or later. It’s free to download and includes a free identification allowance, with an optional SPOT Plus subscription for more identifications. See SPOT support for allowance details.
How does SPOT identify a car?
Take a photo with the camera inside SPOT. Its AI-assisted identification uses visible details to suggest the make, model and generation. Results can be uncertain, especially for similar models. Our car identification guide explains which details and photo angles help.
Do I need to know anything about cars?
Just that one caught your eye. SPOT helps you discover what you’re looking at, whether it’s your first spot or your hundredth. When available, you can also explore its history and little-known facts.
Can I identify a car from an existing photo?
SPOT uses new photos taken inside the app, rather than imports from your camera roll or the internet. Your collection starts with cars you actually encounter, with additional checks to help keep discoveries fair.
Will it always know the exact car?
Some cars and generations look very similar. The detail available depends on the angle and photo quality. SPOT may need another photo or leave details unconfirmed.
What about Android?
SPOT is currently available for iPhone. There isn’t an Android release date yet.
