Taphill Studios Presents
Motormate
An iPhone app for the stranded motorist
Motormate is a new app by Taphill Studios that features a simple and intuitive way to fault find car trouble. With the weather now turning so cold many people are experiencing problems starting their engines each morning. With the breakdown services stretched sometimes it is just more quick and convenient to find and resolve the issue yourself.
Motormate allows you to select the symptoms which best fit your problem. Match your starting fault with the relevant sound in the app. Perhaps you have a flat or drained battery, a faulty starter motor or you need to clear damp out of the electrics.
Once you locate the issue, Motormate provides easy to follow guidance on getting you moving again. There are clear step-by-step instructions on jump starting, push starting and even refitting a wheel. Guides are also included if you would like to learn more about various components or how the starting system works.
If the worst come to the worst and you do need to call the breakdown service, Motormate features a handy address and coordinate finding tool to save you having to leave the app to search elsewhere.
Motormate was conceived by Taphill Studios co-founder Dominic Shooter. “I was tired of having to dig out a book just to find a simple starting fault,” says Dominic. “We developed the app because we could see the need for car users to have information right at hand. In the age of the smartphone it makes sense to use technology in this way.”
Taphill Studios prides itself on well designed and well engineered apps and Motormate is no exception. The app features hand drawn diagrams and smooth animation, with an easy to use and intuitive user interface.
Motormate retails at £1.19 in the App Store and is on sale now. For less than the cost of a city bus ticket you may save yourself a lot of money later on.
