Spot anything.
Take a photo of a car. CarSnapper works out what it is and turns your photo into a card. That is the whole idea.
-
1Take the photo
Point your phone at any car. Any angle works, and you can also pick a photo you have already taken.
-
2The car is identified
CarSnapper works out the make and model, then looks up the real figures: top speed, acceleration, power and price when new.
-
3You get a card
Your photo becomes the card, with the car's figures and a rarity tier. It goes straight into your collection.
Got one wrong? Tap Wrong car? on any card to ask for a correction.
Rarity that means something.
Every car gets one of five tiers, set by how many of that car exist. Not by luck, and not by price. A Corsa is a Common. A LaFerrari is not.
- Common
+50XP
Everyday cars. Every one still earns its card.
- Uncommon
+75XP
A little less usual. Worth a second look.
- Rare
+100XP
Cars you will not see every week.
- Very Rare
+150XP
Built in small numbers. Keep your camera ready.
- Ultra Rare
+250XP
The ones you tell people about.
XP shown is what a car earns the first time it joins your collection. Every 250 XP is a new collector level.
Every spot levels you up.
Take on challenges, chase rarer cars and watch your collection grow. The more you spot, the more you unlock.

Badges and colour themes
Milestones earn badges, and new levels unlock colour themes for the app.
