Plext allows users to communicate anonymously by sending and receiving text messages through license plate numbers. Users of Plext can easily send a text to anyone's license plate number, the owner of the vehicle will receive the message.
Plext Uses:
Perhaps someone left their lights on and you'd like to let them know. Maybe a car is being towed but the owner is not aware, or there is a car blocking your driveway but you have no way of getting ahold of the driver. Now with Plext, you can. If you can see a plate number, you can use it like a phone number with Plext and send a text message to that plate number. If the driver is a user of Plext, they will get the message instantly. Even if you are not yet a Plext user, Plext stores the messages and will deliver the proper message to the proper vehicle owner once they become a user. See who has been messaging you with Plext. Please don't Plext and drive, Plext and park. It's safer.

Great idea!

Now to get my neighbors to download this. I may have to flier the neighborhood!
Weird and creepy idea with a less than mediocre execution.

No offense to the team behind this app but this certainly the creepiest and dumbest social media app thus far. The UI design is mediocre, the app frequently crashes as well. Using a license plate as a unique identifier for social media purposes is just flat out bizarre and the potential bad situations that could arise from doing so are aplenty. Pass on this app.
Brilliant App

This app works great. I see some people mad that it's "dumb" but I used the app for good and not road rage or yelling at bad parking, and it worked great. Someone left their light on in their car. I was able to message the plate and the car owner was a Plext user. Made his day!!
Thrilled user!

No reason not to have this app on your phone. I was able to alert a stranger they were about to get a parking ticket. It was nice to get a response how grateful they were and help some one.
Could be better.

This is a good idea but if the person you are trying to contact is not a user no message will be delivered. It would be a nice addition if you could get a plex bumper sticker as a user (possibly with QR code) so people who use the app know the car is connected and the message will go through. Otherwise leaving a note on a car windshield is probably better.
