Application Setttings
The Application Settings screen lets you make adjustments to a number of settings within the aCar app.
General
- Units, Language & Formats -- Tap here to choose your Country, Language (English only in free version, additional languages require an upgrade to Pro), adjust Fuel Efficiency measurements (i.e. MPG, km/L, etc.) and add automatic decimal digit 9/10 to the end of fuel prices (i.e. $3.45 changes to $3.459).
- Sort Order -- choose how you'd like aCar to arrange vehicle records by date, in Ascending or Descending order.
- Use Location -- aCar tracks your (GPS) geographic location by default. To turn this off, simply remove the checkmark from this box.
- Cloud Sync & Local Backup -- tap this to access synchronization and backup settings for your account.
