Pros and cons of How Cars Work app for iPhone and iPad
How Cars Work app good for
My title says it all it is an easy to use, makes sense to those that are new in the field in basic easy to follow ways and has an easy to use lay out
I love this app. Its articulate and helps those with no understanding of cars find a good place to start. I asked mechanics about the information presented and it all checks out. The reason I gave it only 4 stars is because of a few spelling/grammatical errors that drove me crazy. They were few and far apart, but there all the same. I recommend this app if you know nothing about cars.
Some bad moments
This app is excellent, especially if you know little or nothing about the basics of the standard vehicle and how it functions. Its not anything you cant already find via a search engine but its a very handy reference too. 4/5 stars because its clear cut, accurate, and easy to understand. If it were free or had animations I would say 5/5. Overall, outstanding.
I give 4 stars. I will rate 5 stars if it gets a better user interface and it allows me to look up some words.
Very good, but could use a little more info, and a little more pics.
Not a good source of info unless youre looking for absolute basics.
This one little thing made me give this app two stars. In the cylinders section, the vw/Audi/Bentley w12 is essentially two engines put together but not like the way they have it there vw is pretty well known for the vr6, vr6 meaning Verkürzt (German for shortened) Reihenmotor (German for inline motor). Its sort of a mixture between a V config. and an inline in that the cylinders have a 10-15 degree V but all in one big block and its like an inline in that the cylinders can fire in order 1-6. Now what they did with the w12 and w16 (Bugatti) is attach two vr6 at the crank and made one big sort of V config. They called it W. its not two cranks thats illogical too much weight over the front, Bentleys are already under steering cows, why add more weight -_-
This app is awesome!! I really want to become a mechanic, and this app has helped me understand a lot about car engines. It would really be better if yall add more! Like how Vtec works, and more just stuff! :D
