Awesome that it’s free, but
It’s free. The tracker doesn’t track when I start driving. It has about a mile lag. So makes this app irreverent in my opinion. I have tried launching the app then driving didn’t pick up for a mile and a half. So you never have an accurate starting point. Poorly executed app. I’d recommend paying for an app that works like MileIQ or quick books self employed.

Misses Trips - Not IRS Ready
Unfortunately, the main purpose of this app is to track mileage automatically and it does so about 80% of the time. The 20% missed logs will take you more time to find and adjust manually, that you are better off just writing them all down old school. Also, when the developer says the app is running in the background, they do not mean it in the terms people are used to. You actually have to have the app open on your phone... yet it may or may not record your trips. Good luck if the IRS audits you and you use this service.

Dr Ols, Sorry for the bad experience, it appears that there might be some setup issue. Can you contact us at info@getsimple.app so our team can help to resolve your issue?
Real Person
I’ve been using this app for a few days now and I have to say it’s really good. Easy to use and it helps me a lot with my Lyft rides.
Simple is exactly what I needed.
As a photographer I wanted something to simply track my miles and be able to get a report out at year end. Works like a charm and is simple. Works better than the paid app I had been using for a couple of years. Does what it’s supposed to without all the fluff that other apps I tried had. And you can’t beat free.

Update
Now been using the App for a couple off weeks and it has been a pleasure, the support has been brilliant with email responses, mostly on the same.. would like to see integration of Bluetooth recognising that you are in the car when you are on business. If I use my private car it still logs the miles which needs me to delete that record. Hence only 4 stars , I’m sure that this will come with further updates so am looking forward to that addition. Keep up the great work. Loving the App.

Awesome
I've been using this app for about a week so far. As a ride-share driver, this app has been so handy. It really is simple to use and best of all, it's free!
Super simple I am thrilled
This is the best AP I have seen for tracking your mileage can’t wait to save money.
Easy to use!!!
This app has been a game changer for keeping up with my business mileage.

Just started using the app. First time out it did not track all my miles, only captured about half of them. I will keep using for a little while to see how it does.
Decent but could be better
Please add the ability to 3D Touch on trip end notifications to categorize the trip right within the notification. Everlance has this feature and it makes it much easier to get it done without having to open the app.
Lastly, I find that if you have a lot of drives from the months prior to the usage of this app, it’s really inconvenient to add them, like the interface for it sometimes acts like it saves the trips but then when you refresh the page they’re all gone. I had this happen to me after adding over two and a half months worth of trips manually.
Otherwise the app does a good job of tracking mileage.

Thanks very much for your detailed feedback. For the 3D touch, our team will look into it and see the best way to support it. For manually add trip, please do so from the ALL Drive page. If you add the trips for previous month, it will not show up there if the month you have on that page is different. Going forward, if you add trips for the current month, you should be able to see it right after the saving. For trips of previous month, you need to switch to that month's all drives page to review them. Another place is to view them on the web dashboard: getsimple.app/dashboard/
