Warning Light Camera5.1 - App Store

Your car doesn't wait for a convenient time to have a problem. A light turns on. A noise starts. Something smells off two weeks after your last oil change. And most of the time, you're left wondering: is this serious, can I still drive, and what am I even supposed to tell the mechanic?
Warning Light Camera answers the first question instantly - and then keeps helping long after that.

POINT YOUR CAMERA, GET AN ANSWER.
Take a picture of any dashboard warning light and get an instant identification, in plain English - what it means, how serious it is, and whether it's safe to keep driving. No more digging through a 400-page owner's manual at 11pm.

NOT SURE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT? BROWSE INSTEAD.
Every one of the 90+ lights in our encyclopedia is searchable and just a tap away, with the same detail as a scan result - description, fix, and safety guidance.

YOUR CAR, REMEMBERED - NOT JUST LOOKED UP.
This is the part most car apps don't do: Warning Light Camera doesn't forget your car the moment you close it. Add each of your vehicles, and every light you scan, every symptom you notice, and every piece of routine maintenance gets logged and organized by vehicle automatically. That weird noise from three weeks ago? Still there, with the date, a note, and a photo if you took one. The light that keeps coming back? You'll actually be able to say "this is the third time," instead of just feeling like it.

WALK INTO THE SHOP PREPARED, NOT GUESSING.
When it's time to actually deal with something, build a report in one tap - every active light, issue, and maintenance item, organized, numbered, and ready to hand over, with your vehicle's year, make, model, and VIN already filled in. Text it, email it, AirDrop it, or just hand your phone to the mechanic. You show up with answers instead of a half-remembered story, and you leave feeling like you understood what happened - not like you just had to trust whatever you were told.

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE, NOT JUST EMERGENCIES.
Track more than one car. Log the wiper blades you keep meaning to replace, the oil change that's coming up, the brake pads you know are getting close - right alongside the actual problems. Warning Light Camera isn't just for the scary moments. It's meant to be the place you check in on your car, the same way you'd check in on anything else you actually take care of.

POWERED BY ON-DEVICE IMAGE RECOGNITION.
Built with machine learning trained on a real library of dashboard warning light photos - running entirely on your phone. When it's not fully sure, you'll see the other likely matches too, never just one guess dressed up as certainty.
Try it. Scan your first light in seconds - and let it start remembering your car from there.
