Why no auto tracker

If only there was auto track. App never developed further than a simple data entry app. I supported this developer and paid for the app with no real useful functionality

I love it

Itโ€™s easy to use. Does everything you need. Try it out. Iโ€™m sure you will be happy with this app. I love it

Does not work

I bought the app with high expectations of recording my mileage. I read the reviews. I loaded the program. I was able to get one trip locked. But when I wanted to add another trip, the program would not allow me to add anything. The price was a bit high to track 30 miles of travel.

DO NOT BUY

Total sham product. You canโ€™t even SEND and email to support, probably because there is none. If you want to manually START and STOP you tracking EVERY Drive and manually type in the vehicle, destination, purpose, and tax dollar per mile EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU DRIVE... then this, YOUR F^^## IDIOT is the app for you.
Is there a way to get my money back?

Waste of money

Is there a way to get a refund from the App Store?
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still doesn't work
right
All is good until you push stop and the start pin jumps into

The best!

Need an app to basically track my medical and volunteer miles for taxes. After looking at many mileage expense trackers, and after using Falcon Expenses for several years, I just switched to MEL and am loving it. FE pitched free use for unlimited entries at first, with an recurring monthly subscription fee only if you wanted to submit (export) reports. I was willing to do that for one month a year at tax time. But then they got greedy and starting limiting entries, at first to 10/mo for free, but since the beginning of this year 2019 down to six in a month, before requiring that I subscribe, and now the fee was increased too. I could see where that was going; every year Iโ€™d be paying more for less, and support was poor, defensive, contentious, and sometimes taking a week or more to respond - generally customer unfriendly. Even just cancelling the subscription required 10 days advance notice. Needless to say, MEL stood out by promoting no subscription necessary! And also by providing selectable and IRS current mileage rates which FE did not (only one rate which had to be entered in settings before entering a new expense). FE did have more filtering flexibility by using tags to group expenses, but I find that MELโ€™s two fields per entry, Destination and Purpose, by which expenses can be grouped when exporting, is adequate. I do wish there was one more field per expense for a note or comment, unique to each entry, ie not saved to a pick list. I also love the ability in MEL to back up my data to iCloud or Drop box, which can be also be used to transfer and synch data between devices, another feature lacking in FE. Thanks!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions!

Disappointed

Phone had to be replaced...had set for iCloud backup setup. Got new phone but nothing in iCloud re this app. Maybe it was my phone, but I spent 10 months putting data into the app and now I have nothing. Guess I will get a pen and paper...

When I try to send this review...all the nicknames are used...frustrated, disappointed, sad, etc. Guess Iโ€™m not the only one who wasted a lot of time.

Meh

Canโ€™t figure it out, not user friendly

Response from developer

Sorry to hear that. Feel free to contact our support e-mail address and we'll get you rolling.

Do Not Buy

I bought this app thinking it would be a helpful tool as an outside sales person and I finished a full day of work hoping to have a log. Nothing. Luckily I still have Mile IQ on my phone and it captured everything. I reached out to the developer to no avail.

Response from developer

The latest version should help fix the auto tracking. Remember to start the auto tracking at the beginning of the day and stop at night.

Not so easy to use

Tried to enter the odometer and it wouldnโ€™t take it. Tried it about 4 times.

Response from developer

Please send us a DM and we'll get you squared away.
