### 2/5 — PLEASE READ: honest review

*2025-10-19, version 4.1.28*

This app has a lot of technical problems it won’t let me log in, I have my L’s and all the qualifications I need to sign up. However, as soon as I try to sign up the app doesn’t let me go past the email and password, it says: “Error the network connection was lost” but my internet is on and fine and then I still get a confirmation email with a code I can’t use. I cannot start driving without this app and I do not know what to do. I’ve deleted it and reinstalled it, I’ve looked to see if it needs to be updated, and I’ve asked my parents and google but nothing works. I would like to see if you could fix this or if it’s just me.
-kind regards

### 2/5 — My issues with the app

*2025-08-02, version 4.1.22*

Hello, I understand the full concept of the app and how it should run in the background while switched off. However, I’ve come into issues with the app completely resetting while i’m logging a trip. I have come into this issue time after time and I know well that the time logged compared to the actual time I am supposed to have logged are not the same. The app will continue to close while off and away despite the fact that nothing else is running. Fix this issue, perhaps saving the time to cloud before the app resets?

### 3/5 — Good Visuals but loses drives

*2025-05-29, version 4.1.22*

App is easy to use however you can start a timed drive and then put your phone away only to go to end the drive and find the app has gone back to the start screen and not recorded the drive.  Would be handed for the app to track the vehicle moving and give an option to remind you to end your drive when the car stops for a certain period.

### 2/5 — Suggestion

*2025-05-26, version 4.1.22*

Please add pause to timed trip so when I go to the shops or am picking someone up I don’t have to put 2 trips in.

### 2/5 — Not registering trips

*2025-05-15, version 4.1.1*

My daughter and l went for 1/2 hour trip today. She stopped the timer and the trip disappeared. What the?

### 1/5 — Complaint

*2025-04-25, version 4.1.1*

It kicked me out after an update and saying my email is wrong now.

### 1/5 — DONT GET THE APP

*2025-04-08, version 4.0.1*

I was so close to getting 100 hours, then for some reason the app glitched and half my hours just disappeared, I called their online support and talked to three different people, not a single one of them were helpful and the last lady (I’m talking about you Vickie) talked down to me the whole time like I was some baby who didn’t understand English. Over 30 hours lost. Such a waste of time. It just isn’t worth it.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2025-04-06, version 3.0.4*

The app has been very handy and helpful during my learning and logging my hours until this day all my hours,supervisors and cars have all disappeared

### 2/5 — Hours problem

*2025-03-04, version 3.0.3*

The app is great don’t get me wrong but I logged in one day and all my hours deleted I pressed the cloud icon to sync but it didn’t work then I realised it didn’t save my cars and supervisors I logged out and logged back in but it’s still the same

### 1/5 — Timer gose away

### 1/5 — fix your app

*2025-02-20, version 3.0.3*

multi billion dollar government can’t even make a working app for their people

### 1/5 — isn’t working

*2025-02-10, version 3.0.2*

won’t log trips longer than 20 mins therefore can’t get my hours up

### 2/5 — Adding trips doesn’t work

*2025-02-09, version 3.0.2*

I downloaded the app this week but I can’t add trips.
I’ve added multiple vehicles and supervisors and they persist on the Vehicles and Supervisors pages,  but they don’t display on the summary page ( 0 Supervisors & 0 Vehicles).
I’ve tried adding multiple trips but nothing happens after I click [Add Trip].
Nothing is displayed on any of the summary pages (Total Hours, Day Hours, Night Hours).

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-03-12, version 4.1.29*

This app has so many flaws, sometimes trips don’t show up in emails, sometimes when you submit a trip it will disappear and won’t show in emails or in the “not approved trips” section and you are unable to put in trips and get them approved. It can be slow and i run into errors all the time if you are a learner i highly recommend getting just the paper log book this app is just terrible and will waste your time.

### 1/5 — can’t log in

*2026-02-10, version 4.1.29*

I have completed half of my hours and now the app tells me to check my email address was the one I registered with when I try to access the app. The email address is correct. How do I get in to the app to continue logging my driving hours?

### 1/5 — Huge problem with the app

*2025-09-11, version 4.1.22*

During a trip it will often refresh the app in the background and the trip will not save, meaning that you have to estimate the amount of kilometres at the start of the trip and when you started the trip. Complete bogus for an app made by our government, the people who literally run the country.

### 1/5 — Terrible logging in hours

*2025-08-29, version 4.1.22*

This app is terrible for logging in hours, once finished with the hours it automatically doesn’t count as a trip, it will act like it never happened it’s literally so stupid and it’s slow

### 1/5 — Timer

*2025-07-16, version 4.1.22*

It’s happened to me many times.
I’ll put the kilometres in and start the timer, place my phone in centre console and drive to my destination, once I have reached my destination I’ll grab my phone to end the trip and I’ll go into the app and the timer disappears and it doesn’t count towards my hours as it just completely shuts the app and acts as if I’ve just opened the app

### 1/5 — Not registering trips

*2025-07-13, version 4.1.22*

For some reason the app shuts down and won’t register the trips. It’s happened multiple times the latest tonight where I’ve driven for an hour and nothing to show. 
How’s anyone supposed to get their license if the trips are never logged?!

### 1/5 — Help please!

*2025-05-05, version 4.1.1*

Does not want to transfer hours from old phone to new phone and it is very irritating. Any help would be appreciated!

### 1/5 — Deleting trips

*2025-05-05, version 4.1.1*

Nearly every time I start my trip halfway through it the app refresh’s and deletes my trip

### 1/5 — Horrible recording

*2025-05-03, version 4.1.1*

I’ve done 4 hours worth of driving that hasn’t been logged because the timer stopped itself. Absolutely horrible design as you have to effectively just let the timer run while you not driving to make up the hours you lost to the fault

### 1/5 — Account no longer exists

*2025-04-30, version 4.1.1*

After the last update, i’ve been logged out of my account and now it says that my email address is wrong and i’ve had to make a new account and lose my hours.

### 5/5 — 2025 Review  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2025-02-24, version 3.0.3*

New app works well and is very quick and easy to use when getting into the car.

### 5/5 — Notifications

*2023-03-23, version 2.45*

There should be a notification that comes from the app to let us know that our supervisor has approved the trip or trips. So we don’t always have to see if it’s been approved or not through the app. By clicking on the sync button.

### 5/5 — App crashed

*2021-03-25*

When I try to edit the details of the trips, it crash, could you fix the bug please.

(editI 25 March )I’ve sent an email weeks ago, I don’t get a reply yet....so I don’t know am I the only one that having the issue? or everyone having the same issue....

**Developer response:** [[edit 29/3/21: Hi again. Without knowing your email address or more details, it's hard to trace whether we received your email. It may be best for you to call us on 13 23 80, so we can ensure you are connected with our support team by phone. Thanks. AK]]
Hi there. We're sorry to hear you're having issues adding trips. It appears that you are using the most recent version (2.9) which should have fixed the crashing issue. Please contact our support team (mobileapps@tmr.qld.gov.au) so we can assist. Thanks. AK

### 5/5 — Hours not approving

*2020-06-23*

This app is indeed handy, however 8 trips of mine are not approved. I have watched my guardians submit the same trip over and over, yet still no approval. Fix this

Edit - Thank you very much, this indeed brought my hours back. Very fast co-operation has lead me to change my rating.

**Developer response:** Hi there. Please accept our apologies for the delayed reply. We have a support team available to assist. Are you able to please email mobileapps@tmr.qld.gov.au. From there, we can help you to resolve the issue with approving your trips. Thanks. AK.

Edit: Glad all is resolved and we appreciate the update to your review.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2019-11-03*

This app is so handy because most days when people get their license they would obviously have a phone, with the app you don’t need a paper copy. The logbook as it can be downloaded through the app. You can also access your records n different devices all you have to do is log in with the same email and password you used originally. The app is one. The best decisions made yet. The best part is that you don’t have to calculate the amount of hours you have driven because the app keeps track of how many hours and how many minutes of driving lessons that you have done

**Developer response:** Hi Bryden. We really appreciate the positive comments about the app and we're glad you're enjoying using it. Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. AT.

### 5/5 — Question about the driving trainer hours

*2019-08-27*

Love the app, works well! 
But I have a question about the recorded driving trainer hours I’ve got. Underneath and number of hours I have (59), in small print it says “credited driving trainer hours, 20 hours”...are those 20 driving trainer hours separate from the 59 hours recorded above...or are they included in that 59 hours? Hope this question makes sense cause I really need to figure it out! 😂
Thank you!

**Developer response:** Hi there. Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your feedback. Please accept our apologies for the delay in replying to you, we missed this feedback initially. In answer to your question, the 59 hour total includes the 20 hours with your driver trainer. If you have any additional questions, please email our support team at mobileapps@tmr.qld.gov.au. Thanks. AK.

### 4/5 — Pause option

*2026-01-18, version 4.1.29*

I go on lots of trips and it’s frustrating that there is no option to pause a trip when I’m just getting out of the car for a minute to fill up fuel or something 🙁

### 4/5 — Overall pretty good

*2023-02-04, version 2.30*

Works pretty well and does what it’s supposed to. Only issue I’ve had is for short trips under 1km you can’t properly log as it wouldn’t let me save without changing the odometers value. If it had an option to just pause a trip that would be great

### 4/5 — Needs trip comment feature

*2022-05-07*

This app is pretty useful, it does its job pretty well. However, I must ask, please add a trip comments feature for when you are uploading a trip. Its sometimes quite annoying not being able to mention that you were driving through traffic or you were simply driving around in an area rather than being just limited to a starting and ending point. Thank you :)

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for letting us know that you're finding the app useful :-) Thanks also for the suggestion – I'll pass it on to our development team. Have a great week :-) RW

### 4/5 — Pause Mode on trips

*2021-07-18*

The logbook app is pretty good and easy to use than writing it down, but one big recommendation that the app should have is a pause mode so if you in a trip you can just pause it if you just at a fuel station filling up for example, otherwise you have to finish the trip and start a new one again which takes time and gets annoying especially if you only been out for two minutes. But other thank that very happy with the app.

**Developer response:** Hey there! We are so happy to hear you are enjoying the app! Thank you for your feedback and also recommending introducing a pause button. We will take this into consideration for future enhancements. Happy travels :) JM
