Hey guys,
Just released the iphone app for searching PickNPull and other yards - it's free of course, and looking for any feedback, comments, suggestions.
Search ROW52 in iTunes or here:

Thanks all

Downloading as I type this. Will give my unfiltered review in a day or too. From the pics it seems to be a well thought out app. [patriot]

Edit. ( Here's my review on the app. I'll try and make this short LOL )

Pro's -
1. Well laid out. Very east to navigate. A child could figure out how to use it in 2 mins.

2.I like the option of only seeing listings with pics.

3. I like being able to click on the provided link if interested on directions & the yards contact information.


Here's the Cons ( Or should I say nice examples of future updates.)

1. Not being able to zoom in on the pic. This can only be done after you have selected that vehicle for closer inspection. (
Not a deal breaker but would save some time while searching.)

2. A filter for model specific cars. ( Being able to look for only Cobras, GT's & Verts.... on their specific to model parts would lower the amount of cars to sift thru during your search.... Basically not having to look at 4 bangers & V6 cars would save guys time looking and more time wrenching.)

3. Only one pic of vehicle. ( I know this is asking a lot, but an extra pic of the interior could help someone out if they were looking to swap their interior colors. ) not everyone can appreciate the Porno Red like EPIK.

4. Screen doesn't allow to be viewed while tilted. ( 90% of the time I view and type this way..... It is a tiny screen compared to the galaxy note2 - Mini Flat Screen Phone. )

5. Not being able to select the year after scrolling down by touch. You have to hit the close button. ( Im sure I'm not the only person tapped the screen multiple times trying to select the year LOL.)

Well that's about it. I hope this information helps you out and good luck with the app. I'm going to keep it on my phone so I having another app to make my day even more unproductive.

Slowback -
Thanks for the well thought out review.
You nailed exactly the tweaks we'll likely make for the next version, except for possibly the 4cyl/8cyl and sub-model filter. I agree that would be useful, but it is a tough one to build because the manufacturers are inconsistent in how much sub-model info they put into their VINs.

Thanks again!

Yeah I thought the model specific search might have been tough. Good luck with the app and looking forward to the next OS. _____ Update [patriot]

If your an app developer I might need to pm you about an app I've been thinking about.... But have no clue how to make it.
