Using Scenic in my classic car
Quote from TheDriver79 on 13.07.2022, 04:59Hello community!
Hopefully I'm at the right place to just tell you about my experience so far and how I use Scenic.
I was looking for a nice, handy and comfortable app to tracks my road trips and plan new trips for - sit tight - my classic car (please don't punch me). Yes, you read it right, I'm not a biker (I like bikes but I'm much more the 4-wheels guy) but I enjoy driving very much, especially with somehow fast cars (my daily driver is a 2016 Giulietta QV) and old cars (my classic car is a 1968 Corvette C3 Convertible).In my daily driver there is a navigation system built in but, the Corvette doesn't have one. First thing was, finding a perfect Smartphone holder that doesn't destroy the look and feel of the car and second was the app.
With Scenic I think I found what I was looking for. Still using it free but going to purchase the Premium version soon - I guess.
Because of all the points I mentioned above I suggest, renaming the App to be not a Motorcycle only app but a driving enhancement and live the driving culture app.
Kind regards
Alexander

Welcome to the Scenic team 🙂. Also car drivers are welcome of course. I’m the developer of Scenic and fully understand your point of view.
Scenic was intended for motorcycle riders from the start, and stil is today. Nevertheless many car drivers like yourself have found it over time. Old timers, convertibles, and we even have some members of a McLaren owners club as customer. 🙂
Changing the name of the app would make it harder to find on the App Store for the originally intended motorcycling crowd, and basically have some serious consequences for App Store search ranking, so that’s not something I’m considering. However a more generic/car focused version has crossed my mind many times. Just have not gotten around to it yet. Who knows in the future. 🙂

The ranking Argument in the App store is absolutely understandable. Maybe just some additional search tags to provide more possibilities to be found by car enthusiasts, too.
One question according your idea of a more car focused version/app: When I purchase the premium version now, will/would this purchase work for new versions or a car app or do you think that would need another purchase?
