### 3/5 — prefer the old ui

*2026-05-15, version 5.3*

This app was great. it’s still cool. but the old ui felt way better to me. it was an inspiration to me when i was developing my own app. it was easier to read for sure and felt more native. also i understand the need to monetize but the banner is directly over the bottom dashboard element and takes up a lot of the screen.

### 3/5 — Back to old UI

*2026-05-13, version 5.3*

The app’s bones are great. It’s an easy and convenient way to ensure I’m below my mileage. The new UI, is a bit to get used to. The font is too edgy, the colors too bold. The old interface was calm, efficient and simple. The new UI looks like a teenager made it. Please revert back!

### 3/5 — Great when working

*2026-01-03, version 4.16*

I do love the app and for the 2 years it was great. But now, each time i update it, it removes my vehicle and I have to start over

### 3/5 — Missing simplicity

*2024-01-26, version 4.14*

This app is ok, it makes several calculations. What I loved in the previous app I used (LeaseCrunch, where did it go???) was a very simple + or - when you enter your mileage each time. For ex: a big giant +230 (and in red) let me know I was 230 miles over where I needed to be *that day*.  This app only shows “your odometer should read xxxx” in small print if you scroll down on the screen (which isn’t obvious). Also, the Excess Mileage box should be relabeled Trending Excess Mileage because it shows your potential final excess, not your current excess (mine shows my excess is 8430 miles when there’s only 3500 miles on the car). Lastly, when you scroll down there is a line graph showing the mileage trend but you can’t press on it to get the actual number so it’s not practical.  Hoping the developer will add a simple daily over/under at the top!!

### 4/5 — Long term snapshot

*2022-06-03, version 3.8*

The app give a ton of information if you are looking for what the end of your lease will look like.   It would be a perfect app if they added the info in “real “ time meaning instead of it giving you at the end of your lease info it would give you how many miles you are over or under as of the date you update your miles.  Like If I enter miles of 100 in the app it tell me my results as of today.  You are over by 50 miles as of today.   I like to know where I am in my lease while this tells me in three years what it will be assuming I drive the same miles (which my diving changes often) I have no idea as of today how manny miles I am over/under.

### 3/5 — Flawed

*2021-04-19, version 3.2*

Bring back the “odometer should read” as it’s easy to know how much you’re over or under then. 

Stinks that the update killed my odometer readings. Not good for a paid app.

### 2/5 — Bad update 3.0

*2021-04-17, version 3.0*

Update 3.0: While the app retains its functions, I don’t really see new worthy functions. The dark theme is completely gone. My 2y daily data is gone because the app automatically updated without me having any chance of doing a backup. Too bad! A lot of potential gone down the drain! Good luck, I’ll look elsewhere because of this botched update...

### 2/5 — Data wiped without notice!

*2021-04-17, version 3.0*

So, props to the developer for updating their app and keeping it fresh; HOWEVER, in the latest automatic update (99.9% of iPhone users have their apps update automatically), my four years of lease mileage data are gone. Checking the App Store reveals that the developer stated to export the data prior to upgrading. Unfortunately, this was never an option. Users just don’t check the App Store anymore prior to upgrading their apps. 

I would completely understand that perhaps the developer didn’t realize this, except that ethical app management dictates that you warn your users that a major upgrade is coming and data may be lost. Lease mileage isn’t a big deal - I’ll get over it. But to the app developer: unfortunately, you messed up. Your long-time users would appreciate a “mea culpa” here.

### 2/5 — Version 3 dumps all old data

*2021-04-14, version 3.0*

They said to save data before updating but there is no export option. 🤷‍♂️

### 4/5 — Latest update seems to have broke it

*2019-08-04, version 2.0*

This last update has broken the add new car calculations. I entered In our new car. It is 60 months with 60000 miles. After two days it says our odometer should read 42 miles. Not even sure where that is coming from when we are allowed about 33 a day. Also we did 126 mile in the first two days and it shows a prediction of 10 miles.  I do really like this app and if the developer would like a beta tester would love to help.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2018-03-26, version 1.7*

I looked high and low for an app that does exactly what this app does, and this is the best, if not only, app for the job. Before I found this, I almost considered making an app myself, given how simple the concept is yet how scarce a utility seems to be on the App Store. Great job dev!

### 5/5 — Great app. Very useful. Beautifully designed.

*2017-12-30, version 1.6*

When I downloaded the app I couldn’t use it because my lease period was / is longer than 36 months. I talked to Hao and he fixed it. Just downloaded the update and it works perfectly. 

Maybe a Jeep image for the icon or the ability to use you’re own pic for future updates?

### 1/5 — What did you do?!

*2026-05-04, version 5.0*

It may look better, but it’s objectively worse in that I can’t see data that it used to show me. Specifically what my miles should be at for this time in my lease. And the overage calc doesn’t even change at a certain point. Which is why I relied on that prior number. So it constantly tells me my lease end overage total, but it doesn’t change. 

How many miles should I be at today? I liked seeing the gap close when actual mileage and calculated mileage gap was closing. Now I see 1755 over for entire lease and that hasn’t changed in a bit. Annoying. I can’t easily see my daily progress.

### 1/5 — New UI is Terrible

*2026-05-03, version 5.0*

Please bring the old UI back.  It was much better and had more information.  If the new UI stays I’ll find another app to use.

### 1/5 — The mileage calculator is wrong.

*2024-08-31, version 4.15*

Its calculating 35 miles per day on a 3/36 lease which is inaccurate. Its 33 miles per day. Pretty basic

### 1/5 — Calculation completely inaccurate!

*2024-04-28, version 4.15*

Calculations are incorrect. Love the format and data, but the numbers are wrong. SMH 🤦‍♂️

### 1/5 — Can’t save

*2023-12-13, version 4.14*

Can’t add a new car or save changes to the existing one.

### 1/5 — Deleted all information

*2021-04-15, version 3.0*

Been using the app for years and like it. Opened it today and ALL my data is GONE. Not happy.

### 1/5 — App update deleted all data

*2021-04-14, version 3.0*

Deleting this app

### 1/5 — Iphone7

*2017-07-30, version 1.1*

Entered car data and app does not respond

### 1/5 — Huh?

*2017-06-03, version 1.1*

Added my vehicle info but app now doesn't respond

### 2/5 — Inaccurate?

*2023-10-07, version 4.13*

The calculation seems to be inaccurate… Even friends that I referred this to are noticing the inaccuracy.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-06-25, version 5.9*

Exactly what I want in a mileage tracker. I liked it two years ago, and I like the updates now.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-05-09, version 5.3*

This app has been helping me keep my mileage on track for my low-mileage lease for 18 months so far.  I absolutely love the new update - I liked it before, but the new features are exceptionally helpful.  Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed!

*2026-05-04, version 5.0*

The app tracks exactly what every lease needs. 

The new Ui looks great. 

Suggestions. 
Lower the Mileage vs Limit under the dashboard. It’s being washed out by green. 

The odometer reading is being broken into 2 lines when mileage is over 3 digits.

### 5/5 — Most Amazing Lease Tracker

*2026-04-15, version 4.19*

This app was amazing before but now with its direct connection to Tesla to auto update mileage directly from the vehicle it’s now beyond 100% better and is far and above the best program for tracking your lease and allowed mileage as long as the app keeps the current quality and keeps innovating and maintaining I will be a life long pro user

### 5/5 — Easy to Use, Works Great

*2025-06-01*

Using this to track my lease.  Very easy to use, interface is nice, no complaints.  Would recommend.

### 5/5 — Fantastic UX/UI Design

*2025-02-27, version 4.15*

Great app design. As a product designer, I noticed the attention to detail that this app has to make it as simple as possible to track your lease miles. Excellent. It’s almost perfection. There was a few glitches but they were easy to overlook. Overall, functionality was great. Every app should strive to be like this.

### 5/5 — What I needed!!!!!!!

*2025-02-12, version 4.15*

This app has an amazing UI and UX and is so easy to track your lease, definitely recommend!

(I see a lot of people saying the calculation are wrong, which is incorrect)

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-09-23, version 4.15*

Works

### 5/5 — Big Improvement Over My Old Spreadsheet

*2023-12-27*

Instead of having to maintain my own spreadsheet this does all the necessary calculations but with an easy to use UI.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2019-08-25, version 2.0*

This app calculates everything for you- it’s great for someone who is leasing a car and need to track KM and not gas cost- Well done !!
