After looking at the screendumps of current apps, it seems they still are awful. IMHO, a good UX is to have one click to take the picture of the pump, then you can check the fields. The mileage field is automatically filled using your avera

How many documentaries do we need to stop using these poisons (and to put these people in jail) ? We are breathing volatile pesticides. IMHO, the short term plan of Mosanto is to make money with weeds by killing concurrent weeds and the lon
