✓ It used to be goodThis app used to keep track of miles but it does not anymore. They do not update it much so the bugs are not fixed. Also, if my teen does two drives in one day it will override the first drive with the second one. It would be really nice if it had a pause button for stoplights because some stoplights are at least two minutes long and when driving in the city limits that could be 10-15 min we are just sitting at a stop light. The start and stop feature isn’t good for that purpose because it’s not keeping track of miles so if you need to have miles for your drivers Ed you have to calculate every single drive. That is a lot of drives if you have to push start and stop at every stoplight..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Does the basics... but nothing elseAt first sight, this app seems great. Upon examination however I found some flaws. For one, all it auto fills in is the time and distance travelled but not anything else. This could be improved by having the app automatically fill in the weather for how the forecast is in the area. This would be great. Secondly, when you are driving it asks you to fill in what type of road you were on and then there are different options to select. You can only select one. On a usual drive most people drive on more than one type of road and so this causes an issue for me as I am not sure which type of road to select. This could be fixed by adding a function that allows the user to select/add multiple road types. Also, in the types of roads list there is no option for Freeway which causes an issue because then I don’t know what to fill in after logging time on the freeway, I have been forced to resort to the highway option. Please add this. If these things were fixed I would give this app 5 stars, however, these issues are holding it back..Version: 3.1.0
✓ RoadReady a Parent ReviewI would say it is a good app for keeping track of your child’s driving time without logging it in a book. It was very useful for that and it sent weekly reports that helped motivate my child to drive more. It did have flaws where the time would not save the last drive and I had the remember the amount of time. I wish it had a pause drive so if you did quick stops you could continue the same drive instead of starting a new drive. You have to manually input the miles that you drive and the type of road and weather. With the type of road you can only select one and like other parents said somethings you drive on multiple roads so don’t have the option to more than one. I ended up selecting the one we spend the most time one. Other than that I like using it..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Once a day?The idea seems good, but it’s flawed. Unless I am the only one having issues, it will only let me log one drive a day. My son drove to work in the morning and I logged that drive, then when he drove home, I tried to log the afternoon drive and it overwrote the first drive. I was entering these in manually, because I forgot to “start” the app when we left, so I don’t know if this is an issue when using it that way. I guess one could add all the time together and edit the log, but this will become a problem when the driving conditions change (ie, daytime/nighttime or weather ). As someone else said, it would also be nice to be able to choose more than one road type. The only thing mandatory in our state is a certain number of daylight and dark hours, but for our (parental) reference, keeping track of road types and weather conditions would be nice too. People rarely drive on one type of roadway when they go somewhere..Version: 3.2.6
✓ Where'd my hours go?I have been using this app for months (no problems I liked it) and had over 6 hours logged but when I got on the app today to start a drive it had logged me out and went on a sign in screen. I typed in my login but it didn't work and when I put in my emails for "forgot my password" they said there wasn't an account. I made a new one but then logged out and put the login info back in and it didn't work. So now all my hours are gone and I've been locked out of two accounts. I have 3 months until I get my license and am now back to square one. I don't even know if I want to make a new account, I might just get a new app..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Needs a PAUSE buttonHave only used for a short time and like the app so far for the most part. It would be VERY helpful to have a PAUSE button. If you are doing errands and making several stops throughout the day it is a pain to have to start a new drive every time we stop. Did see a response to this same request that you took it off because people were forgetting to un-pause it. What is the difference between having to un-pause it and starting a new drive? You still have to remember either way and you wouldn’t have a ton of short drives for one day. Please add it back!.Version: 3.0.5
✓ Broken app. Not Road Ready - Make Apps Great AgainApp stopped working this morning. Can't make any entries. This app has so many issues and bugs. Data entry is poor and the app is entirely dependent on an internet connection. Editing rides is also too difficult. And I'm a bit tired of seeing a National Guard add after every drive. Logging miles should be easy utilizing the data already available on iPhone. My kids most recent drive was never recorded. The app quit. When I tried to manually enter it, the prior trip erased. When I re-entered that the earlier trip was erased. The data should be stored on the phone and then synced with the online date base, not just wait for an internet connection. I can take a walk and know how far I walk, so why can't this app figure out how far we drove?Hire some high school programmers to fix this app..Version: 3.2.7
✓ Awful, beyond awfulCrashes constantly. We use a backup app called Student Driving Logger that is so much better, but this terrible app is the one approved in our state. It loses drives constantly. “Your last drive was not saved.” Get used to seeing that phrase. This unstable app shows it all the time. Update: when awful gets worse. It crashed and had to be reloaded. The password I knew was correct did not work. It required a password reset, which also did not work. Support for this app has completely ceased. Their database must be gone. But their ad money is likely still rolling. I am so glad we used a backup app from the get go. The driving hours were secured. I am hoping that no new users will be conned into using this. Use something else. Our state will have to accept the hours logged in another format because this app was awful before is got worse..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Tracks drive time ok, but editing or adding is brokenIf you only use it to track driving time while driving then it seems to work ok. Recent changes make it nearly impossible to add or edit the log though. Let’s say you forgot to start a new drive, and decide to add it afterwards: 1. Click on the menu 2. Click on Log previous drive 3. Edit values 4. Click on Save 5. Notice that the time hasn’t changed accurately 6. Click on menu 7. Click on view driving log 8. Notice that the entry you just added has no time or the wrong time 9. Click log entry 10. Click Edit (notice there’s no save or back!) 11. Correct the time 12. Find there’s no way to save the update or go back to the log 13. Kill the app 14. Reopen the app 15. Read the notice about an unsaved log 16. Save log 17. Confirm that the drive has been logged correctly as the total drive time now reflects the newly added log. 17 steps just to save a drive log is pretty ridiculous given that’s the primary function of this app. Hopefully they’ll fix it, however I’ll probably be looking around for a better app for my other kids if I don’t switch for this kid before he’s done..Version: 3.3.0
✓ Mandatory but still annoyingIt serves a purpose and Virginia pretty much mandates I use this app to track my child’s driving hours. Unsurprisingly and annoyingly, the app inserts annoying ads at the bottom of the page that I can’t avoid and use my data without my permission. Bad enough the states mandates what I do, but that I have to use my data to let them force feed me ads really chaps my hide. Pay attention advertisers, I will purposely avoid buying your products. To the developers of the app, I can’t wait to delete this app. A little bitter? Yup, but if the state is going to mandate I use it, then I should not have to put up with ads!.Version: 3.2.8
✓ Forgot Password Feature Doesn’t WorkThe app worked greta for me until I got a new phone. When I got my new phone I logged me out of my account so I had to log back in, but I had forgotten my password. I tried to use the forgot password feature that the app has built it, but when I put my email in it did not work. I even checked my spam mail just in case. I’ve spent like 30 something minutes looking up how to contact customer service but none of it is working. Please fix this feature because I need to finish my drivers training..Version: 3.3.2
✓ I expected better.At first it was fine, I notified it was lacking some details about the driving besides the time driven and time of day, but that didn’t really matter to me. After a total of 5 hours and 6 minutes, the app crashed. It has been this way for over 2 days and I’ve had to write down the time driven in notes to keep track. This is absolutely ridiculous, and I was really enjoying the convenience of this app despite its flaws already, but to have it crash and not work for days? I mean I tried multiple things, such as the classic reboot of the app and then my phone, I tried signing out and back in only for it to have errors with that as well, so then I deleted the entire app and re-downloaded with the same result as before. Fix this bug please or I’ll use another dmv approved app, maybe one that doesn’t crash with only 5/50 hours logged..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Um, why?The app worked great when I first got it. My DMV recommended I use it, and I liked it a lot regardless of the huge State Farm ad that popped up every time I tried to save a drive. But sometimes it’s been weird and just completely forgotten my account...I had to make a new account at one point because my last email apparently wasn’t registered...that was pretty crappy. Maybe 10 hours down the drain. I made the new account, and I’m now about 38 hours into it and it’s now making it impossible to log drives. I don’t even get the button telling me I can save the drive. Why is this app so buggy? It doesn’t seem like it’s super complicated...please fix it. I’m just taking screenshots now of my drives..Version: 2.2.1
✓ It works...until it logs you out and won’t let you log back inThe app WAS wonderful, it was easy to access hours and log them and you could even adjust the settings (type of roads, time, mileage etc) however you pleased. BUT, one day I was with my mom and I was about to start driving when all of a sudden it logged me out of my account and I’ve tried all various passwords I know and it always says error and I haven’t been able to log back in since then and I don’t know how most states do it but in VA you need 45 hours with 15 of those being night hours and I had 20 and I’m quite annoyed that I have to find another way to log the previous hours I had already driven 😡.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Better before updateI like the ease of use. It is easy to start and stop drives, it automatically tracks weather day or night, and allows me to edit if I started the drive late or accidentally forgot to stop it at the end. It is easy to select the weather conditions. It also used to automativally track the miles. It has stopped doing that, and I believe that was after I install the update. Not a big deal, but since it used to work I’m hoping they will fix this. Instead of auto filling, it shows 0 miles for each drive. I can’t find any setting that can fix that. (In phone settngs, I have location turned on while using the app, and precise location turned on.) I can manually input the miles. So that’s fine for trips that we have taken so many times, we know. But other trips I have to guess. The app also allows you to retroactively log times when you forget to use the app. I would’ve given it at least 4 stars if the mile tracking was still working..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Road Ready Isn’t!The App worked, marginally, for a time. Now, my daughter has more than 13hrs logged and the App no longer responds. It just sits & spins and never becomes available. I looked for a web interface so that I could download her progress & delete/re-install the App. I find no web interface, just a generic website that directs me to the mobile App. Also, when it was working, my iPhone would go to sleep & the App would fall behind. Instead of detecting the correct time & updating the display, it would scroll forward in time, second by second (usually 3-4 seconds per second) until it eventually catches up. Do NOT trust your legally mandated driving log with this half-baked app. If it ever improves, I’ll let you know..Version: 3.2.7
✓ This is the worst part of teaching s new driverI really do not care for this app. My wife and I have had a lot of issues getting it to synchronize drive times logged between our phones, and I have repeatedly had to reinstall the app because it gets stuck in an infinitely loading loop trying to log on. When it does work, there’s no way to pause a drive in case you stop for gas or run into a store quick, and you can only log one type of driving at a time (e.g., city, highway, mountain…) I’m looking forward to my teen getting her license for a number of reasons, getting rid of this ridiculous app is very much one of them..Version: 3.2.6
✓ Useful but very unprofessionalThis app is very helpful and easy to use and I really liked it. But like all the other reviewers, I found this last update disastrous. It was somewhat relieving to hear that I am not the only person who was logged out of their account and cannot log back in. And I’m pretty sure I know what my password is; it just says it’s incorrect. Thankfully Ohio only requires a parental signature for driving time so I can kinda guess how much I had. But they just made their app completely useless, so unless you’re careful to re-record all your drives, i wouldn’t recommend. UPDATE: the developers have reached out to me with a link to get my account back. So there is hope! (But it’s a bit late; my affidavit is signed already. Nice try, though.).Version: 3.0.4
✓ Need Help!Hi! This app has been so helpful in keeping track of my hours, but all of a sudden the app wouldn’t load. I looked up how to fix it and the only option was to delete it and reinstall it. It said my data would be restored once i logged back in. The only problem with logging back in is that I can’t find my old password and email address i used for the app in the first place. So I clicked the “forgot my password” option and it said all I had to do was put in my email and it would help me with the problem. I put in all of my emails and each time it said “error.” What do I do?.Version: 3.3.2
✓ Version 3.2.4 Isn’t Working At AllOk, so I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth and write a negative review of a “free” product, but here goes. We’ve been using this app to teach about 26 hours of driving, and then version 3.2.4 was released three days ago, and suddenly the app won’t save any new drives nor allow prior drives to be logged, effectively shutting down any use for the app! The problem is an ad appears at the bottom of the screen covering the save function, and scrolling is disabled, so there is no way to save the drives! Very annoying to incorporate an app into your child’s driving education and then have it stop working half way through, and even though it’s free, I would think with sponsorship from Toyota, State Farm, etc. there would be enough funding to make sure the updates don’t shut down the app’s functionality altogether!.Version: 3.2.4
✓ Good App but improvements neededThis app is simple to use and a good tool but it needs some minor improvements. There are some limitations that are simple to add to make it even better. If you have multiple drivers on the app, it can sometimes get confusing as to who to assign the drive time to. For example my 19yr old is already licensed for 3 years and does not need to track hours but I’m unable to delete him as a driver. I am currently using the app to track my 15yr old and it sometimes assigns the driving time to the 19yr old instead of the 15yr old. If you go into a drive and need to edit the “drive” it does not have an option to edit the driver, which is an easy add in my opinion. For parents of twins, I do hope this improves so you can easily navigate between drivers. The creators have a good tool for us parents and we are thankful, we just need some minor improvements..Version: 3.3.2
✓ THIS is the gold standard?We use this app because our driver's ed school told us it's approved by our state...but about the only thing this app does consistently well is display ads...which always seem to do with issue. But it's core drive tracking functionality? Very inconsistent. Can't tell you the number of time I've started a new drive timer for my son only to get home a half hour later and the timer has stopped and the app is sitting at the home screen. Now that I know that happens I have to constantly monitor the app to make sure it's still logging. Or how about when it's successfully saved a drive, then the next day I open the app and it tells me that my previous drive was not saved. Or how about the fact that it's 2022, and it still doesn't have a useful GPS or weather tracking feature. If you drive in the rain or on the highway, you have to manually enter that information in. Silly. We'll use this app because we have to...but it's unreliable, lacks basic features of a driving app, and you have to pay as much attention to the app as you do your teen driver make sure it's doing what it should. I never review apps but had to share my frustration with this one..Version: 3.2.4
✓ Do not download!!This app just stops recording after pressing “start drive” randomly. i’ve lost hours and hours of driving hours on huge busy roads and small backroads. Even when it does “record” the time, it does. not get added to the big number that is all drives combined. For any colorado drivers that understand this reference, i’ve driven through the busy Boulder streets, down highways and small busy roads just to get to my school. Keep in mind i do this drive 2-3 times a week and it takes about 45 minutes. for the past two weeks, ZERO of that time has been recorded which is significant, and i need this time to get my license. In short, the app doesn’t actually record you drive when you press start drive (it might if you’re lucky), and in that lucky scenario that it does record you drive, 80% if the time it will not get added to your total drive time. Awful app. I now have to switch apps and make up all my lost time on this trashy platform so i can prove i drove enough to get my license..Version: 3.2.6
✓ App is horrible and useless for my teen driversThe app lets you select multiple drivers, which I needed in this case as I have two daughters with their permit trying to record hours for the state requirement. First off, while the app lets you enter multiple drivers (which I thought was a great idea as I have to teenagers both with their permits), but when you log the hours, you can’t differentiate or assign those hours to the individual driver. so if I log hours for one kid driving, then I take the other one out driving, it just creates one log with no way to know who did what. Another Major issue, when trying to add previous drives, it does not let you select the year, just the month and day. So if I am starting the app in January 2023, and want to log the previous hours for December 2022, it will actually record them for December 2023 as that’s the current year. Kind of a problem when you’re turning in the printed up record of your teens hours, and the app is stating that your team drove on dates in the future..Version: 3.3.2
✓ MediocreThe app does the simple task of logging driving hours and prints a log which is acceptable for the DMV. There are just a lot of annoyances. First is the constant interstitial ads for State Farm. It takes multiple screens to save the drive. I already have State Farm insurance. I don’t need an ad after every drive. The app also always requires a data connection presumably to load the ads. This can be very annoying if you are trying to start a drive from a dead zone or parking garage. There is no way to remove a driver. In NC after you get your provisional license you have to log another 12 hrs to get your full license. We tried to create a new driver log but the app kept hanging. As a result we wound up with a bunch of new driver entries and there is no way to delete them. The app is easier than logging hours on paper but you will hate the app by the time you are done with it..Version: 3.0.5
✓ I can’t log back inSo my boyfriend just got logged out after trying to put in some more driving time and it won’t let him back in. He was almost done with his hours and now he can’t log in so I logged out of mine and tried all of his information a bunch of times and it didn’t work. We both even tried to do the I forgot my password thing with all of his emails he has and it won’t work. So then when I tried to log back into mine and it did the same thing to me. And we are both mad because we can’t get our driving time back so can you please help us get it back. Edit: it has been 11 days and we still can’t log in we better be able to have proof of our hours before it’s time because this is insane we are teens and this app was recommended by the DMV this is crazy please log us back in!!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ OKish but fails at some basicsThe State of Colorado pushes this app but it isn't up to par. This app should be better than it is. There hasn't been a new version in 2 years. Ridiculous. Fix the notes box on IOS. It is weirdly right justified, and doesn't allow me to paste text. Also if I exceed the character limit, which isn't specified and there's no character counter, and you save it can crash the app and you lose the ENTIRE drive record. That's bad. So I always save the drive first then go back and edit in the notes. But again it needs a character counter because if you exceed the unknown limit you lose all your text and have to start over. So I thought I'd be smart and write my drive notes in... Notes..but nope it won't save notes copied in at all. ***As notes are central to this app, please fix this asap*** Also the Drive Guide simply doesn't work on an iPhone 12 Pro Max. It loads but won't let me scroll at all. Save the drive GPS routes and link to a maps app..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Big bugI downloaded this app so I could start logging my drives. Everything was working and perfect the first day I had it. When I went to open the app (second day of having it) it said I had no connection and it was not letting me log in. I gave up and I tried logging in on a different device and the same error came up. “wrong email and/or password” “no internet connection” so then I thought I just had forgotten my password, so I clicked on the “forgot password” and I entered my email and it said that my email was incorrect? This app needed a bug fix. I need to log my drives and this is the only app I can use to do so..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Finally Loaded -UpdatedApp won’t load after first drive. Looks like it is busy pinging an ad server. I will give you a couple of dollars to get rid of the ads and fix some of the stuff with the application. Update: This app is trash. Feel like this was somebody’s MS/HS coding project, but somehow is the only one accepted by the Colorado DMV! 🤯 This app will not track mileage. Cannot tell what time of day. Never even asks about road conditions. It is basically a glorified timer. There are others that are far superior, but not accepted by my state. Which is really sad. I would like to be able to give my child some actual stats. And I would like it if I wouldn’t have to edit every little thing. Heck even my iPhone knows when I am and am not driving 🤦🏻 Get it together. Or at least get rid of the ads. That money is obviously going straight into your pocket and zero development!.Version: 3.2.0
