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. ### 2/5 — Mileage Expense Log PRO *2018-02-09* The app works fine but the Update in the Apple store to update to the 2018 rate book doesn’t work and there’s no way to contact the developer from the app or from the store. I’m hoping this bad review will get his attention! ### 2/5 — Needs updated mileage rates *2018-02-02* This app works well enough as far as using the odometer manual selection for me. However the mileage rates need to be updated for 2018 and there’s no way to manually override the preset rate. ### 2/5 — Suddenly I’m getting ads?!? *2018-01-08* What the hell? I’ve used this for two years and now ads are popping up? Not cool. ### 4/5 — Good app *2017-05-11* Good app for tracking mileage. One feature needs to be added. I do not drive my car only for work so the ending odometer from last trip is not necessarily the beginning odometer for next trip. Need to be able to log the trip at the beginning of the drive with date, trip details, and beginning odometer. Then be able to go back to the entry and log ending odometer. I tried to do this and the entry was gone when I went back to record ending odometer. Now I am having to write beginning odometer somewhere else and then enter all at the end of the trip. ### 4/5 — Simple and easy to use *2017-05-10, version 3.5.3* Works great for me. Data entry is fast. ### 4/5 — Mn driver *2017-04-27, version 3.5.2* The best I've found so far ### 4/5 — Drdanaac *2017-04-11, version 3.5.2* Easy to use. Like the download options. Is a little difficult to type in the manual mileage when you forget to restart the tracking after pausing. Overall a good app. ### 5/5 — Great for biz tracking *2017-03-31* This app saved me for keeping track of my business traveling and made tax time was easier! ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-03-30, version 3.5.2* Very helpful and easy for tracking ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Disappointing! *2018-05-09* Disappointed that this app does not time stamp start and stop locations. Paid for the full version only to find out it does not meet my needs. ### 1/5 — Missing lot of options for $9 app *2018-01-12* Can’t schedule bi yearly jobs or jobs that need to be done every 2-3 Year’s ### 1/5 — Doesn't always track mileage. *2017-09-28* I pushed the start button to track the mileage today. When I got home it showed I hadn't even moved. Not happy! ### 1/5 — I don't recommend this app! *2017-02-15, version 3.5.2* It deletes my auto track data seemingly at random and I end up having to make up my mileage. It's also inaccurate. ### 1/5 — Not accurate! *2017-02-02, version 3.5.2* I tested it by driving to work. When I arrived, the app said I traveled 39.1 miles. My odometer said I traveled 40.9 miles. Those missed miles will add up over a year. Don't waist your time with this app. ### 1/5 — Erased two years worth of data *2017-01-14, version 3.5.2* I loved this app. It was everything I needed. Until I upgraded my phone. Went to open the app up after downloading all my apps back and my entire history was gone. Nothing. Nada. Gone! As a small business owner that is a very costly error and one that will cause me hours upon hours to attempt to regenerate. Sad to say but now I'm looking for a better app that has some reliable backup. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Independent contractor *2021-02-09* Very useful and user friendly. ### 5/5 — Remarks *2017-10-30* Outstanding App for keeping business mileage. ### 5/5 — Review *2017-10-20* Excellent. Easy to understand & use. Has all information needed for each trip for end of year information. Car used, where, why, miles driven & all expenses totaled related to ea trip. Please don't change a thing. ### 5/5 — Just right *2017-05-17, version 3.5.2* Simple. Easy. Just what I need to track business, medical, etc ### 5/5 — Easy to use, very intuitive *2017-05-09* Easy and straight forward to use. Keeps track of all things I need for my mileage log. Has never let me down!!!! Love the new watch interface and Dropbox option! ### 5/5 — Excellent time saver *2017-05-08, version 3.5.3* I've been using this app for years. It's easy to use and I email the report to my accountant. ### 5/5 — Perfect for my needs!!! *2017-05-07, version 3.5.3* Simple to use and provides exactly what I need to keep track of the mileage for my bookkeeping service. ### 5/5 — Love this App *2017-04-22, version 3.5.2* Great app excellent for keeping up with business related mileage. ### 5/5 — Easy to use very accurate *2017-04-03* Found this a great app for ease of use and ability to be accurate.
