## What is Mileage Tracker?

Mileage Logbook has been trusted by thousands of users to help them potentially claim back tax on their business mileage. With Mileage Logbook, you won't have to worry about manually logging your miles. Simply drive as you normally would and the app will automatically create a compliant mileage log for you.

The app has a range of features to make logging your journeys even easier. Here are some of the key features:

▶ MULTIPLE TRACKING OPTIONS

Mileage Logbook uses GPS signals to track your vehicle's movement from one location to another. The app automatically tracks journeys when you are driving, cycling, or using public transport, and stops tracking when you arrive at your destination. You can choose between three tracking options: Auto Tracking, Vehicle Bluetooth, and Manual Tracking.

You can connect to your vehicle's Bluetooth to ensure the app only tracks journeys for a specific vehicle. If you prefer, you can disable the auto-tracking feature and manually record your journeys, or you can use both options at the same time.

▶ HIGH-SPEED SERVERS

In Mileage Logbook, your journey history is synced with high-speed servers, so you won't lose your data if you delete the app. Every time you log in to the app, your journeys will be ready to download.

▶ TAX COMPLIANT MILEAGE REPORTS

Mileage Logbook is compliant with the mileage reimbursement rules of several taxation offices worldwide, including Australia's Australian Taxation Office (ATO), the United Kingdom's HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the United States' Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Canada's Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), New Zealand's Inland Revenue Department (IRD), Holland's Netherlands Tax and Customs Administration (Belastingdienst), and Germany's Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF).

▶ PERIODIC REPORTS & MILEAGE RATES

Mileage Logbook automatically updates your daily, monthly, and annual reports when you review a journey. The reports are customizable and can be generated in PDF or Excel format for your accountant. Your mileage rates will be set to the standard flat rates of the country you choose upon installation, but you can easily edit them at any time.

▶ LOW BATTERY CONSUMPTION

Mileage Logbook is designed to be battery-friendly, accurately tracking journeys without draining your phone's battery. After you finish a journey, the app stops consuming your location data and creates a trip log. The app will consume your location data when you walk, but only if it receives a new GPS update. This process is less frequent than journey tracking. If you enable the Low Power Mode feature, the app will never consume your location data unless you are in a vehicle or cycling.

Battery Use Disclaimer:

Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

### 2/5 — WHEN it works, it’s fine

*2026-05-19*

First off, I’m using the options to connect to my car by Bluetooth and have it to auto-record when vehicle starts moving. I have the background refresh enabled for this app and location services set to Always. The app has issues related mostly to connecting to my car and auto-detecting when I’ve started driving. Majority of the time, even though my phone connects to my car just fine, the app fails to see that it is. I’m constantly having to go into settings on the app, tracking > Bluetooth and disable and re-enable just so that it’ll connect. Besides that, I can have the app running, start driving and somewhere between 20-25  mph, it’s supposed to start recording mileage. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. It is so inconsistent. AND, when it does work, once you’ve arrived at your destination and want to stop recording, it, it’s states along the lines that you have to disconnect the device from your car. It is stuck on the one screen and you cannot disconnect using the app. I have to turn my car off. What if I don’t want to turn car off nor disconnect my phone from car? Would it kill the devs to provide a way to force the app to stop recording? This is a design oversight and should be common sense to have implemented from the start. So very frustrating. Glad there’s a trial and not wasting my money. On a good note, the subscription plans are reasonable and probably the better one compared to others. What I did find funny is that going with 6-month plan twice is 1 cent cheaper than the 1-yr plan. Really, the 1-yr plan should be slightly cheaper per month than the 6-month plan. Another oversight with this company. Anyways, I’d rather pay a higher cost for another app if I know it actually works more consistent than this one. Maybe I’ll revisit this app in another year or two to see if it’s improved, but for now, I’m going to look elsewhere. Sorry devs. It’s just not ready.

**Developer response:** Ouch!  Thank you for your detailed feedback and review. We’ll address each of your points below:

(*) Bluetooth Detection:
Mileage Logbook does not support CarPlay. When CarPlay is active, iOS isolates the Bluetooth connection between the vehicle and iPhone, and does not expose state changes to third-party apps, which prevents device detection. You can test this yourself while connected to CarPlay. In your iPhone Bluetooth settings screen, you’ll see the Bluetooth connection appears as disconnected, as CarPlay takes over and isolates that connection.

Also, most GPS/mileage tracker apps use the same single Bluetooth connection channel. This is a one-at-a-time connection, so if another tracking app is connected, it can override or block Mileage Logbook from receiving updates.

So, you are either using Apple CarPlay or another GPS/mileage tracking app that is actively using the same Bluetooth connection channel. iOS typically allows only one active connection context at a time, which can affect detection in Mileage Logbook.

(*) Manually Stop Tracking:
We understand your frustration. This is currently designed this way to stop the app instantly restarting tracking while the Bluetooth connection is still active, which could otherwise cause repeated start/stop loops in the background.

Turning the ignition off (which drops the Bluetooth connection) will stop the current session.

(*) Subscription Pricing:
Thank you for pointing this out. Our pricing structure includes monthly, 6-month, and annual plans to give users flexibility based on how long they actually want to use the app. The 6-month option is there specifically for users who don’t want to commit to a full year but also don’t want a monthly subscription.

Our suggestion to resolve your issue is to use Motion & Fitness tracking or manual tracking. If Bluetooth is not the best option for some users, that’s exactly why Mileage Logbook offers different ways to record journeys.

You might ask: why do I need a mileage tracker app if I still have to manually start and stop it? The answer is that the main goal of mileage tracking is hassle-free documentation and automatically updated mileage reports. Automatic tracking is just a 'nice to have' on top.

Even when manual control is used, the app still handles all calculations automatically and updates mileage reports in seconds, so you always get full mileage logs and summaries without doing any manual math.

Mileage Logbook is trusted by thousands of users who experience hassle-free tracking. We appreciate the detailed feedback and will continue improving the app.

### 4/5 — Some stuff missing

*2026-04-12*

Great app but how does it know what mpg your car is?

### 1/5 — All tracking and history vanished

*2025-07-23*

All tracking and history vanished.  Years lost and yet still have 9 months left on paid subscription

**Developer response:** Hello - We take user data very seriously. The issue you described is technically impossible. Even if the app is deleted or the phone is reset, your mileage history is securely stored on our servers and will be restored as soon as you log back in.

We have also checked and did not receive any support request related to this issue. We provide full support to genuine users who are using the app for tracking real mileage, and we always recommend reaching out through the app for help.

Unfortunately, fake negative reviews have become common in this category. These are often posted by paid agencies working to promote competitors. We do not participate in such practices and believe that honest, organic feedback is the most reliable measure of app quality.

If you are a genuine user, please contact us directly so we can review your account and assist you.

### 3/5 — Simple to use but couldn’t get it to work

*2025-01-14*

I really liked how easy to use this app was, and how you could manually edit a route later if it was wrong. I could never get it to track my drives automatically, and even my manually tracked drives would only record intermittently even with the phone on the dash, app running.

**Developer response:** Ouch! Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry to hear about your experience.

Mileage Logbook is trusted by thousands of users who experience hassle-free tracking. The issue you're facing is likely due to a missing permission or a settings-related issue. If you reach out to our support team through the app, we'd be happy to help troubleshoot and get everything running perfectly for you.

Also, please make sure you're on the latest version. We appreciate your feedback.

### 1/5 — Keeps losing my subscription

*2024-06-01*

Thinking it’s tracking my trips but it’s not. Been paying every month but it’s been logged out all the time & I have to confirm the subscription. No km tracked..

**Developer response:** Ouch! Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the trouble you're experiencing. To help us investigate the issue as quickly as possible, could you please create a support ticket in the app by selecting the date of your subscription renewal? This will allow our team to look into the problem and find a solution for you promptly.

We understand your frustration and appreciate your patience. Leaving a 1-star review doesn't give us the opportunity to resolve your issue, but we're here to help. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

### 1/5 — This app has been missing many of my trips

*2024-03-02*

It started out well but has been poor the last 4 months

**Developer response:** Ouch! We're sorry to hear about your experience. While we strive for excellence in Mileage Logbook, we understand that occasional issues may arise. If you could kindly create a support ticket within the app, we'd be more than happy to assist you in resolving any concerns you have. It's worth noting that many support cases are often user-related rather than app-related, but we're committed to helping you make the most out of Mileage Logbook.

### 3/5 — Hit and miss

*2024-02-06*

Good concept for an app but accuracy isn’t quite there and it drains the battery pretty quick if you turn on the background tracking. Some journeys just don’t show up

**Developer response:** Hello - Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your insights and concerns regarding Mileage Logbook. We understand that achieving a balance between accuracy and battery efficiency is crucial for our users. While we're glad to hear that many users in Australia are enjoying our app seamlessly, we're sorry to learn that you've encountered issues with accuracy and battery drainage.

Regarding accuracy, we're constantly refining our algorithms to ensure that Mileage Logbook accurately captures your journeys. If you've experienced missing journeys, we encourage you to reach out to our support team so we can investigate and resolve any specific issues you've encountered. All you need to do is to create a support ticket in the app.

Mileage Logbook doesn't constantly consume GPS data whilst idle (not driving), but it runs in the background to detect whether you have started a new journey or not. This process requires some battery power and you may need to charge your iPhone in every 12 to 18 hours. Please note that Mileage Logbook uses your battery mostly when you drive, not whilst running in the background in idle mode.

We understand that battery drainage can be a concern, especially with background tracking enabled. Mileage Logbook utilizes GPS data to accurately track your journeys, which does require some battery power. However, we've implemented features such as Manual Recording and Low Power Mode to help mitigate battery consumption. We recommend exploring these options in the app settings and referring to our manual and quick guide for more information on how to optimise battery usage.

Your feedback is invaluable to us as we continue to enhance the user experience of Mileage Logbook. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future and provide even better mileage tracking solutions.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at info@mileagelogbook.com.

### 5/5 — Excellent mileage tracker

*2023-12-02*

I have reviewed several apps for the iPhone and Mileage Logbook has all of the features you need to capture trip information. The Auto Bluetooth mode helps to automate the process. The reports are designed to help  complete CRA tax requirements.

We're especially glad that our Auto Bluetooth mode and CRA tax-ready reports have made your mileage tracking experience seamless and efficient.

### 2/5 — Not consistently working

*2023-11-30*

The app has been great for close to 2 years. The last couple weeks it quits tracking for some reason. Has cost me quite a bit of money in mileage reimbursement!!!

**Developer response:** Hello - We're sorry to hear about the inconvenience you've experienced with Mileage Logbook recently. We appreciate your loyalty over the past two years and apologize for any frustration caused by the tracking issue. We highly recommend updating to the latest version available on the App Store, as it includes improvements and fixes that address this issue. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to regain your trust in Mileage Logbook.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2023-11-28*

Been using the manual tracking function and after 1 month I was locked out and unable to access any of my trips without purchasing a subscription.  Not interested in the automatic tracking feature as I found this to be tedious and often lost trips on account of the close out  process. Is a good application but plenty of other applications that offer manual tracking for free. It would be appreciated if my expense report for the month could be provided.

**Developer response:** Hello - Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your input as it helps us enhance our services. We apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced with Mileage Logbook.

We understand your frustration with the subscription model, and we'd like to shed light on the reasons behind it. Before we start, we would like to remind you that thousands of happy subscribers in Australia are seamlessly using our app with no issues, and their satisfaction speaks volumes. 

The 30-day trial is designed to give users the opportunity to explore the app and assess its suitability. We understand that there are various mileage tracker apps available, each with its own strengths. Mileage Logbook prioritizes your data's security. Unlike apps using iCloud space, we steer clear of potential risks like data corruption or loss associated with storing large amounts of data in iCloud. Those apps use iCloud space to avoid costs, but this can risk data integrity. We believe in providing a reliable service without compromising your information. Mileage Logbook prioritizes the security of your data, utilizing expensive and secure servers to ensure your information is protected.

Consider the 30-day trial as a test drive, allowing users to fully experience the app's capabilities. We recognize that the subscription fee may be perceived differently in the digital landscape. Let's put it into perspective: it's equivalent to the cost of a cup of coffee at your favorite cafe or a snack at the supermarket. Just as you wouldn't fret over a beer at a bar, Mileage Logbook offers a wealth of features for a nominal monthly fee.

In the digital realm, a few dollars might feel like a 'mortgage payment', but we assure you that Mileage Logbook is dedicated to providing reliable and efficient service.

Our hope is that users recognize the unique benefits Mileage Logbook provides, including rich features and excellent support. We encourage you to consider the long-term value our app brings, comparable to the monthly cost of everyday items like a cup of coffee or a snack. 

Thank you for your consideration, and we hope to continue providing you with a top-notch mileage tracking experience.
