Poor reading of your trips
Really poor reading of your trips. Either records the whole as short trip you need to group together or only record part of it. Provide feedback and was give a suggestion to group them. Should need to do this.attenev
This app always has issues
From the time it quit reading my automatic payment and wouldn’t let me use it to this latest issue of just not tracking my miles at all. I would guess this app has cost me hundreds of dollars. This week I’ve driven over 600 miles that it didn’t register at all. On both of these occasions I haven’t realized until days later that it isn’t working. As someone who’s very busy I just don’t have time to get on here everyday and make sure it works. I’m looking for a better mile tracking app.Show lessBam2675
Bought subscription but I DO NOT like it!
It tracks when I’m walking, or a passenger or on transit. It’s increasing my mileage amount which will change the ratio of business to personal (actual driving). Not meant for someone who doesn’t just drive. Wish I could get my money backmelmobarrie

Hi, MileWiz can actually be configured for situations where someone walks very fast so that MileWiz thinks (falsely) that you are driving. Please e-mail us at hello@milewiz.com and we'll let you know how to configure it. Thanks!My review
Great app, if it does what it says. Sometimes doesn't follow commands to use only for a day, sometimes works perfectly. Needs to be more consistent especially as a go to for tax purposeskasual13

Hi, Please make sure you are running MileWiz in High Accuracy mode. To set that go to Settings / General. Thank you.More effort than it's worth.
I really wanted to like this app because it has a lot going for it but I've ended up having to spend more time fixing the issues it causes than if I'd just used a paper log.
I have had the GPS track really badly to the point where it was made up entirely fictional journeys where I hadn't even left the house that day. I'd also had trips that registered routes I didn't take, trips that stopped halfway through the trip and restarted many kilometres later and trips where the distance count was over 50km more than the actual distance travelled.
Recently, I went to check my cars odometer reading on the app to see how accurate it was and it read 1354498048. My car only has 20,000 kms on it. :/
Not a good start for an app whose sole purpose is to log mileage.
I've also had the app invent imaginary vehicles and begin tracking all my miles against those, so I've had to go back and edit every entry to fix them.
I've had the app attribute the trips to the wrong driver so again I've had to go back and edit every entry to make sure the right driver was attached to the right trip.
I'm just expending more effort fixing problems that are created by the app than its worth. Using a paper log would be more reliable and less work.
The attraction of this app is that it's supposed to be "set and forget" but it's very far from this and if you need to reliably track your journeys this is not the app you are looking for.Show lessMaxxxpower64

Hi, Please try setting MileWiz to work in High accuracy mode. You can do that via Settings / General / Accuracy. If that didn't help please e-mail us at hello@milewiz.com.Can't think of a way to do it better...
This app does what you want it to do! It makes it easy to manage all trips you make with your phone. It is easy to edit the trips if a different car/driver goes with the trip, easy to add an expense amount such as gas, and easy to delete irrelevant trips you make with your phone (eg, in a golf cart). It makes a difficult to remember chore easy!
Update: 1 year later still tracking my miles for my biz with this app. Something that I doubt I could do the old fashioned way of pen and paper... certainly not for this long.Show lessJulzWz

Thank you :)Easy and effective
It works really well. I don't even have to think about it. My vehicular travel is automatically tracked and all I need to do is state whether it is a "business" or "personal" trip.MajorBludd187

Thank you :)The battery drainer that won't die
MileWiz was one of a bunch of similar apps I tested. It looked okay, but in the end, I decided on a different app. But MileWiz wouldn't quietly go away—it kept posting notifications saying it had been disabled for a week and asking if I 'want to start saving on [my] mileage'. I also noticed it still using up a lot of my battery, so I swiped it off the screen thinking that would surely kill it. Many days later, with my battery draining faster than expected, I look in 'Settings > Battery' to see who the worst offenders are, and there at the top of the list is MileWiz at 36% (still monitoring my 'Background Location'). Second is the Phone app at 21%, and third is the other driving log book app—the one I actually used today for two trips—at only 11%. (MileWiz tops the list for the last 7 days too.)
Now here's the crazy thing… I just opened up the app, and down the bottom left of the hamburger menu, it says 'Tracking is disabled'. What is this new devilry—the location tracking that won't die?! The answer seems apparent when you go into Settings > Milewiz. Location is set to 'Always' (the only other option is 'Never') and Background App Refresh is turned on, and greyed out so you can't turn it off. (My other logbook app has Location set to 'Always' too, but it uses much less battery.)
I'm about to permanently delete MileWiz off my phone. Let's see if it still manages to drain my battery after that!Show lessKalsta

Hi, I am sorry to hear that you've experienced these issues. To reduce battery usage please go to MileWiz / Settings / General and set the accuracy to Medium. Also, you may want to consider reinstalling MileWiz as it sounds as if something went wrong, as this is definitely not the expected behavior. Make sure you create a SYNCbits account first (via MileWiz / Settings / SYNCbits) so you can log into it after the reintall and get your data back. If we can be of further help, please e-mail us at hello@milewiz.comAwesome
So easy. Accurate. A must have for those who claim on their carMichael070911
