I'm developing a car maintenance app, need a name for it

[Kershaw]

I'm currently taking a user experience class to add more skills to my visual design knowledge. It's a great class, anyone in the design/development/managing them fields should take a ux class. Very informative. Anyway, we needed a project to do all the ux techniques too, like competitive research, user interviews, card sorting techniques, wireframing, etc. That's all well and good and I'll probably be posting something for you guys to test or validate my categories later.

Where I'm really stuck is the name. I've been calling it Car Maintenance App because I can't think of a name, but the length of that is really messing with my wireframes. So I'd like to nail down the name and I know the limits to my talents. Thinking of names is not one of them. So I was hoping you guys could help me out. Please vote for a few of your favorites.

And at the end, if it's worth developing, hopefully a friend of mine can do so. Because let's be honest, trying to keep all the maintenance and maintenance history on your e30 in your head sucks. Then I can share it with all of you and we can keep better track of our maintenance.

And by all means, if you think all the options suck and you have a better name, post it.

I think something one-word, for branding efforts.

"revr"?

Hmmm, but that's hopping on the tindr/grindr/tumblr train of dropping the vowel before the r.

Well, you want it to be a basic outline of what it is, but it doesn't necessarily have to make sense to anyone but the user. Nobody cares about the name of the app over what it does. I use dashcommand for my obd2 scanning and logging needs. If there was a better app and it was named "imalittlequeerboy", I'd use it, dammit. So, maybe r3vrec or something. But that would make it sound like a data logger. MaintLog? Something that is short but can make sense. "imalittlequeerboy" is still up for grabs, though ;D

exactly wrong.

if you want your app to propagate virally, it needs to be easy to talk about.

the annoying one-word truncated names are what's demonstrated to work.

Service Indicator Log or SIL (ver.1) for in app purposes

but that's what you want. Because it's an app.
