### 1/5 — Faithful user for years-no it’s useless

*2024-02-26*

I have been a faithful user for several years. During that time it has provided automated mileage tracking. That has been extremely useful, and helpful.

However, late in 2023, the software stopped tracking trips of any kind. I understand this is a that came to light with the release of a new iOS version. Since that time, no fix has been forthcoming. Every time I open the app, it crashes. Even participating in the testing program “TestFlight”, no fixer improvement has been apparent. I will change my review when the problem is fixed.

If it is not fixed by the time, it’s time to renew, I will change products and never come back.

### 1/5 — June 2023 STOPPED WORKING

*2023-06-21*

I’ve had the full $60 version of the app for about 3 -4 years. It usually works “fine” (… the company takes vacation at the end of the year in December, the app ALWAYS crashes right when I’m trying to do year end business mileage… so that’s irritating… but I stuck with it.  Now come to June 2023 the app totally crashes for 21+ days.   I’ve done all the troubleshooting that is recommended as there’s no “help” available- just a troubleshooting link page. In the auto response email it says here’s a troubleshooting page or you can click this link for a refund… but… if you purchased the app via the Apple iTunes store it looks like you’re stuck with an app that does not work and will still be charged the full year price even though the app is dead.

### 2/5 — When it is working it is great but then

*2022-08-24, version 2.85*

When the app is working it is great and does a good job tracking your mileage. I’ve been using this app for years. Problem is that every now and then it just stops working and you don’t even know it and your miles aren’t being tracked. Usually restarting the app can solve this problem but sometimes it doesn’t and you have to completely reinstall the app. I don’t know why they can’t make it where it just works all the time. Very frustrating I will probably try a new app hopefully it works all the time

**Developer response:** Our apologies for the experience! Please reach out to us at support@milecatcher.com for troubleshooting assistance.

### 2/5 — The Best There Is…until recently

*2022-08-10, version 2.85*

Paragraph below was until recently. Recently if I don’t go back into the app multiple times a day it stops tracking. Whatever you guys changed recently has really tanked the product. Boo!

I have literally tried 10+ mile tracking apps. Even though I get mike tracking with QuickBooks self employed I still decided to pay for milecatcher. I was bummed when the became a paid app and tried to use the QuickBooks one and it missed so much and all the customer service said was “make sure the app is always open, make sure you are signed in before you drive anywhere...” etc. Totally defeats the purpose of “Automatic”. So, I came back to MileCatcher. It is the best. I turn it on and once a week or so I go in and it has EVERYTHING. I just categorize and move on. As a business owner I don’t have time for anything else. Love this app.

**Developer response:** Our apologies for the confusion! The app does not need to be open in the foreground, but it does need to be launched in the background in order to successfully log trips. More info on this can be found here: https://www.milecatcher.com/support/keep-the-milecatcher-app-launched-and-running-in-the-background

### 1/5 — Failed me 3 years in a row

*2022-04-03, version 2.85*

I’ve had mirage catcher for about 4 years! The first year or 2 worked great! The next year it quit identifying trips. I contacted support as best as I could and quickly was sent to “common problems and solutions! I did every one of the suggested 
No help! Finally I did get a response from support had to remove the app and reinstall. Began working, but was unable to recover all missed business trips!
Next year same thing unable to have tax info from travel again! Same advice and no good help at all!
Started this year again without tracking! 
I checked all the support info. Yes every time I have had the most up to date version on all the time 
Cellular data
I said never mind, this is a very unsuccessful mirage tracker amd obviously support cannot help me!
They said no refund at all! 
So I cancelled and will be searching a good mileage tracker

### 5/5 — Best mileage tracker for the price!

*2021-06-30, version 2.71*

This app has made my life so much easier! I’ve tried other mileage tracking apps that were less consistent and cost more money. I’ve been using MileCatcher for over a year and have been very impressed with the accuracy! Looking at the negative reviews, I think a lot of people just don’t understand their phone’s location settings and get their settings messed up. Highly recommend!

### 2/5 — Severe battery drain - makes app near useless

*2021-03-15, version 2.68*

I have used MileCatcher since shorty after they launched and have a pro subscription. It worked very well until sometime last year when I started noticing abnormal battery drain. Some days MC accounted for over 30% of batter consumption. At first I received no response from support and it even seemed like the app was discontinued. Then after another attempt I got the advise to use ‘work’ hours. Well as a freelancer I don’t have set work hours, so that doesn’t work and even when trip detection is off battery usage is very high. The only remedy short of uninstalling the app is turning off location services for the app, not very practical. I have even restored my phone (as you all know that’s a major pain in the) to try to fix the problem but it remains, even after OS and app updates. Otherwise it is easy to use and has nice design, but sometimes a trip won’t disappear from the screen even though it’s been classified. 4 stars but these little annoyances drag down the score and the battery drain makes the app pretty much useless.

**Developer response:** Our apologies for the inconvenience! We have recently submitted a new update with improvements to battery life. If you are interested in giving MileCatcher another try, please message us at support@milecatcher.com and reference this review and we would be happy to give you another 30 day free trial!

### 2/5 — Contact support

*2021-01-01, version 2.65*

Unfortunately, support beyond your faq is lacking. I see nowhere to contact support.  Your autoclassify is mislabeling trips in the note area.

Hasn’t worked in one week. Your website doesn’t work either. What’s the deal?

Once again the app support link doesn’t work. The app has grayed out. Won’t work. For whatever reason it appears everything in the app including every trip has disappeared. No reports nothing. The question is what happen just because it’s a new year. I tried their support link and it gives you an error message as usual.

### 5/5 — I use this app everyday

*2020-01-22, version 2.51*

Great tool for keeping track of miles for taxes or employers. Works in the background and does not seem to effect my battery life. Easy to categorize my trips and simple to get a printout of work miles. I love looking back at where I have been. I would like the option to pause or switch between personal and work driving. Otherwise works great!

### 1/5 — Ok, but not great

*2019-11-14, version 2.51*

Trying MC instead of MIQ, because MIQ leaves a lot to be desired, but MC also has some problems:
1) You can’t contact the developer (e.g. for support) unless you turn on 3rd Party cookies on your browser!! Big Fail.
2) It’s impossible to log out/in of the app on your phone, even if you force close/open it again, and things don’t sync properly between the web portal and your phone (e.g. new “Purposes” added and deleted on the web don’t appear on your phone.) That’s very frustrating.
3) Touch doesn’t work properly on my iPhone Xs when trying to specify a “Purpose” for a trip. I’m unable to select any Purposes in the rightmost column on the Purposes screen. It’s ONLY in this app where the touchscreen isn’t responsive. All other apps work perfectly.
4) There’s no way to see a quick list of recent trips. Each trip is displayed full-screen, so you have to manually scroll through each one to find a particular trip, which is a big time-waster.
5) Like MIQ, you can’t have more than one Business - silly in today’s world, where people have multiple jobs, multiple businesses. MC “Purposes” help, but you can’t, for example, segregate a trip to the Airport (one of their default Purposes) for BizA from a trip to the Airport for BizB. It’s “Airport” or “Business,” unless you create “AirportBizA” and “AirportBizB” Purposes, and that’s a poor solution.
