### 2/5 — Stay open

*2019-05-01, version 1.8*

This app works properly, but you have to continually tap the screen for it to stay open. If your phone locks, or the screen shuts down for any length of time, the tracker doesn’t track.

### 2/5 — CAN WE FIX THE GODDAMN APP??

*2017-03-22, version 1.7*

I've had this app going on two years and it worked fine until a couple weeks ago, now it no longer logs the drive, just spins and spins. It's been more than enough time for a fix, let's get the GODDAMN APP WORKING AGAIN

### 3/5 — Worked ok

*2016-09-03, version 1.7*

Everything worked well. It wouldn't include my steps when I was driving. And now it also has begun to not include my sitting calories lost. Not much I can do with this

### 2/5 — App keeps crashing

*2016-05-04, version 1.4*

I like the app but it crashes every time I'm finish driving. When I get in my car I start the drivebit, but when I finished the app crashes and I don't think it sync with the app or my fitbit watch. Can you fix this issue?
Thanks.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all

*2016-01-09, version 1.4*

Went ahead and paid the $.99 because I figured no one could mess up such a simple app.  I was wrong.  All it needs to do is make it not count steps when I turn it on.  Doesn't work.  Still counts hundreds to thousands of steps per drive (I drive a semi with lots of steps with each stop).  Seriously, how can you screw up such a simple app....

### 2/5 — Better than nothing...

*2015-08-14, version 1.4*

The app doesn't seem to work for my bicycling or scooter. The Fitbit still shows extra steps and stairs. It's also less than adequate for driving, since driving shows up as exercise on the Fitbit dashboard. While the app description touts that you can name a custom activity, it doesn't save that info. So you have to type in "cycling" or "scooter" each time you do something. And if you forget to reset the activity type, your driving time might show up as cycling. Still, this is apparently the best we have until Fitbit actually works on this issue.

### 1/5 — Worthless app

*2015-02-26, version 1.3*

What a rip off 
Can't sign into app 
Worthless

### 1/5 — 0 rating, useless, doesn't work! Want a refund!

*2015-01-29, version 1.3*

What a waste of money! I want a refund! It won't let me get past the sign in page.

### 1/5 — Can't sign in!

*2015-01-05, version 1.3*

I open the app, it takes me to a login screen and says I need to authorize the app to work with fitbit and that I'll "only have to do this once". Ha!

I tried a dozen times. Every time I click "allow", it takes me back to the start screen with the same message about authorizing my fitbit to work with drivebit.

This app either needs to be updated with a bug fix ASAP or I want my money back. I didn't pay to have an unusable app on my phone.

### 1/5 — Can't Log In

*2014-12-29, version 1.3*

The log in screen doesn't work...there is no way to use this.

### 1/5 — Couldn't even sign in!!!

*2014-11-15, version 1.3*

When signing in to use the app, the screen would disappear. It didn't matter if I put the password in first or the email, when I would try to put the second one in, the screen would revert back to the start. I want my money back!!

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2019-12-31, version 1.8*

Works less often than my unemployed sister in law.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2019-05-22, version 1.8*

Does not work

### 1/5 — Always losing steps

*2019-05-13, version 1.8*

Often when I use this app with my Fitbit I lose all my steps that I already accumulated

### 1/5 — Basically useless

*2019-05-06, version 1.8*

Does not interact with Fitbit. Only logs it.  Basically useless.  The developer should advise of that.  They do not refund.  Beware

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything!!!

*2019-02-12, version 1.8*

I just downloaded this app and after I authorized the app I push start and drove home and then stop once home. This app never created a driving log on my Fitbit app and didn’t do anything else.

### 1/5 — Drive Bit stopped working

*2018-05-14, version 1.8*

When I upgraded my phone to the IPhone X, this app stopped working. And there have been no updates in 8 months. To begin with it was tedious to open another app and start and stop it. But now it doesn’t work at all. Not very happy with this purchase.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2017-08-09, version 1.7*

Just spins and spins. Just purchased this app yesterday and it's already crashed. Only worked for one drive and then broke.

### 1/5 — App doesn't work

*2017-02-17, version 1.7*

Hasn't been updated to work with oath2. So it doesn't do anything.

### 1/5 — Not Logging

*2016-12-05, version 1.7*

Irritated with how this app keeps crashing and not logging drive time.

### 1/5 — Unable to authenticate

*2016-08-03, version 1.4*

Been wanting to stop the false steps to my Fitbit Charge HR with this app. Unable to get the app to "Authenticate with Fitbit" so I can sign in. Using iPhone 6s. Any help?

### 5/5 — No Hassle!!!

*2019-06-04, version 1.8*

This is a GREAT app, it works GREAT all the math fuss is gone it does the calculating for you.
You get to see the time you started and how long it was operating.
I put the app on my phones front screen ease for remembering and access.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2018-10-25, version 1.8*

I farm for a living. I was getting 20,000 extra steps a day riding in a tractor for 8 hrs and now it seems to be way more accurate to what I’m actually doing. I was getting aggravated with my charge 3 before I used this app

### 5/5 — Great with IPhone

*2017-07-19, version 1.7*

This app works great on iPhone. If you drive a tractor trailer you need this app. Otherwise it will say your taking thousands of steps that you aren't.

### 4/5 — Great, if I remember to turn it on

*2019-03-05, version 1.8*

I made a motorcycle trip to MS and logged 94 floors!  This app is exactly what I need when I remember to turn it on.  

Suggestion:  Give the user the option to automatically select the the travel mode and activate the app when it connects via Bluetooth to a specific vehicle ( motorcycle, truck) and have the app disconnect when it looses Bluetooth connection.

I’d pay extra for that!!!

### 4/5 — Works good if I remember to hit start & stop

*2018-02-23, version 1.8*

As long as I remember to hit start and stop at the appropriate times it works great. A awesome update for the paid version would be to have an option to enter a Start & Stop time after the fact. We are human after all. 😉

### 4/5 — Very happy

*2016-05-23, version 1.4*

Was confused at first because as I was driving I noticed steps still being added. Once I hit stop and my Fitbit did a re-sync the steps all came off back to my original amount. Very happy with this app.

### 4/5 — Good app, generally does what it should

*2015-06-26, version 1.4*

This app works just like it should. I initially had problems because the Stop and Cancel buttons are so close to each other that is easy to mistakenly hit cancel (developers--maybe move it in a future update). Otherwise it will remove the falsely recorded data that appears when I am on my motorcycle. One other issue is that it will record zero calories burned during driving, which is not totally accurate. If you record driving manually in the FitBit app, it gives you credit for burning at least your basal number of calories. Overall, it was worth purchasing this app.

### 4/5 — Great way to avoid counting car rides as steps

*2014-09-03, version 1.2*

My only complaint about this app is that it logs your event start time at the end of the event. So if you drove for 30 minutes starting at 1 PM, it logs a 30 minute event starting at 1:30 PM. You must go in and manually adjust your event start times. Otherwise, this is perfect.

### 3/5 — Good but

*2018-06-02, version 1.8*

1.When I have no internet/service it won't log a drive.Please support it to where you can save the drive and update when a connection is available.
2.When I log a drive it ALWAYS says I burned 0 calories.Please fix and add the above things and I would happily change my review.

### 3/5 — Fixed

*2017-08-30, version 1.8*

Appears to be working as advertised.
