### 5/5 — Problem with rates

*2025-12-31, version 5.8.0*

Does not have 2026 updated mileage rates. Typically, the app updates automatically with the new year’s mileage rates, but I don’t have it so I have to enter it manually. Cannot manually enter values as first number typed goes in front of the decimal instead of behind it and there is no decimal on the keypad. 

Contacted the developer who told me to activate 1/1000th entryin the settings. They help did not say to do that Once it is set, it seems to work fine and it is added to the rate so I can select it for 2026 business mileage.

### 1/5 — Info saved

*2025-03-22*

I have been unable to print out my 2024 report, it will let me send to email but won’t show up and print, have try to contact someone for help so I can get info for taxes

### 2/5 — Laggy

*2024-08-10*

Ad pops up every time you enter something.

### 5/5 — Independent contractor

*2021-02-09*

Very useful and user friendly.

### 1/5 — Just want a simple tracker that tracks and reports on km

*2019-11-27*

Not easy to use

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-08-16*

It says in the description no fees but it limits entries unless you buy an upgrade. 
Please be actually up-front instead of misleading.

### 4/5 — Not bad...

*2019-02-02*

But I use the same vehicle every day, why can’t I set it as a default vehicle ?...so annoying having to select ever single time.

### 2/5 — Decent App

*2019-01-26*

At first was great. Easy to use etc... but now maybe after an update or something, can’t email the mileage log (ridiculous). And they have no phone support. So definitely will not be using this app anymore.

### 3/5 — Great app but needs a couple essential features

*2019-01-05, version 3.10.0*

Edit 1/5/2019
I switched to BizXpenseTracker. Got tired of waiting for features that are commonly available in many other logging apps (see below). 
—————————————

Tracking freelance miles is kind of a pain. I bought all the features of this app even though I didn't need them all so to support the developer. I like this app a lot, and I appreciate that I pay one price and not a subscription. I also don’t care for the notion for having to create an account in order to use a tracking app, so MEL is great for avoiding that annoyance. 

One thing it's missing that it desperately needs is a "round trip" button so that when you manually enter mileage, you don't have to bother with the return trip. This is especially useful if you have non-business places to go after conducting business but before returning to office. 

The other is the ability to create presets so that when you drive the same car to the same destination with the same mileage, you don't have to enter it *every single time* you get in the car and go. Frequented businesses, your PO Box, your bank... etc. Even if one item in the preset needs to be different (like you're taking a different car), it could prefll the fields then you could change what needs to be changed. 

Overall the app is great, but it needs some love. I was hoping the update today (4/22/18) would include some changes but I don't see any differences at all.

### 1/5 — Lost most of my data

*2018-08-29*

Software had a glitch and locked up on me. Saved it to cloud but still had glitch in it trying to return it to my phone. Lost over a years worth of mileage tracking.
