### 2/5 — The ads are ridiculous

*2026-07-05, version 2.2*

For a logging app, the ads are ridiculous. “Your account has been hacked! Download this app to clean up your phone!” Come on. This is for kids.

### 3/5 — Don’t pay to remove ads!! App decent

*2026-07-03, version 2.2*

The app itself does what it should, but I paid to remove ads and I still get ads… I’ve asked for a refund.

### 2/5 — Terrible.

*2026-01-18, version 2.2*

This app has terrible user interface. It is unintuitive and riddled with ads. Don’t waste your time.

### 4/5 — Best of the bunch, but…

*2025-07-24, version 2.2*

We’ve been using this app to track my teenager’s driving for a few months now. I tend to try multiple apps to find my favorite, so I’ve tried several other student driving apps. 
This app has the highest rating of the apps that have thousands of reviews. All features are available for free and removing ads was cheap. I have read many reviews and am disappointed the creators have gotten the same notes for years. 
I’m not sure why it annoys people to have to click a couple buttons, but that could probably be made optional. I appreciate having those options (environment, weather, conditions) because it will give us an idea of what we need to practice in. I would even like an option to indicate the vehicle driven (I have instead edited the data to change P[arent] to the car.)
I would like to be able to edit the skills after the event has been saved. 
Another missing feature is the actual time of the drive is missing from the export. I understand that it’s important to many DMVs. 
Finally, the map feature has never worked for us. 

So I would (and have) recommended this app over all others, but would love to see some updates.

### 2/5 — Can’t export all the data and requires certain things I don’t want

*2025-05-11, version 2.2*

It records the start time and end time because I can see it in the app for all the logs, but when I go to export it only shows the total drive time which is not what I need for the DMV. I now have to manually copy down all of my logs.

The app also requires me to enter multiple types of driving conditions which I don’t need for the DMV but I have to do it anyway or else I can’t submit the log.

Would not recommend unless the data outputting is exactly what you need.

### 3/5 — Paid to disable ads… keeps playing ads

*2025-03-09, version 2.2*

As in the title. The app is OK at what it does otherwise.

### 4/5 — The ads and the stop watch

*2024-09-14, version 2.2*

Overall I really like the app but the stop watch on the log would never go if my phone turned off. Also the ads seemed unnecessary

### 3/5 — confused

*2023-12-15, version 2.0*

i’m pretty sure that the app is just confused entirely

### 2/5 — Track doesn’t work

*2023-12-11, version 2.0*

I’m trying to track my 10 night hours and it isn’t showing up on the “total night hours” section. I tracked from 10 pm to 12 am and i get 0 night hours?

### 4/5 — Maps don’t work

*2023-07-26, version 2.0*

This does an ok job logging the time spent driving but the map never does populate. It just shows an ad for some random Amazon stuff.

### 2/5 — Decent, but…won’t run in the background…

*2023-07-23, version 2.0*

Overall a decent app for tracking drives. One of the features I really like about the app is the ability to edit a drive once completed…Unfortunately, I have to use that feature all the time because the app will not track the drive time unless it is open…

I have all my settings to allow it to run in the background etc., but it still will not. Seems like this would be a no brainer and pretty simple fix to an annoying issue. 

Don’t bother trying to use this app if your running a maps program unless you’re watching the time and tracking it on your own.

### 3/5 — Bug issues

*2023-07-04, version 2.0*

It works great for me, as I don’t use the map and I just do it manually- but I made a mistake when inputting my info for the amount of night hours I need (10 instead of 20) and while I can get into the screen to change it, there is no way to get the keyboard down so I can save changes, and it’s really annoying. Please fix this as soon as possible!

### 3/5 — Some Minor Bugs

*2023-06-23, version 2.0*

As title indicates - some minor bugs which require extra attention from both app developers and users (in the meantime).

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2023-05-26, version 2.0*

It works fine, and I like to be able to track my hours, but I clicked on the question mark at the top and it won’t let me leave the “help” page. The exit button isn’t on the screen. So I deleted the app and re-logged my hours, which took some time, but that didn’t really help because the same thing happened again. How do I fix it?

### 3/5 — works fine. not accepted by any DMV in my state

*2023-05-18, version 2.0*

title says it all. this app works fine, no major annoyances or bugs, i just cant actually use it. there needs to be a print feature so you can print out your stuff and have the papers. DMV only accepts papers i guess.

### 2/5 — Forced ads are never welcome

*2023-03-16, version 2.0*

It’s a fine app. It’s a little clunky, editing isn’t done very well, and there isn’t any way to add custom elements. The really egregious issue came after the last update. The developer has decided that FORCED advertisements would make the app better. Meaning I’ll be trying to input my time and an ad video will pop up and I won’t be able to input anything.

### 2/5 — Glitchy… wouldn’t recommend but does the job

*2023-03-08, version 1.5*

The app occasionally adds extra time on my drives, making a 22 minute into a 12 hour and 22 minute drive, despite the fact that it was PM to PM. It also doesn’t correct the total time after you correct the previous drive times. I’ve also found the app tracking me at random times when I’m not even driving or using the app… why? Other than those annoying bits, it works well-ish. Would not recommend, but it will do the job. Mostly.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Buggy logger

*2024-11-24, version 2.2*

Whenever my screen turns of, this logger stops counting, so I total about 15 seconds each drive until I click log drive and it gives the right amount. Additionally, on multiple occasions this app has actually subtracted time from my total.

### 1/5 — Glitchy app delayed my sons driving test

*2024-04-22, version 2.2*

The printout for this app does not show times, which was required for my son to get his NC drivers license. The delay caused by having to add these times led to his slot being canceled. If you live in NC, use Road Ready instead of this app.

### 1/5 — Nighttime hours not recorded correctly

*2024-01-13, version 2.0*

The app is not recording nighttime driving hours correctly. Some hours driven at night are recorded as daytime hours. There doesn’t seem to be any help available through the app, and the link to get help just goes to a Facebook page.

### 1/5 — Logging Night Driving hours

*2023-09-11, version 2.0*

Where can this be selected or even edited?

### 1/5 — Quitting this app after use one!

*2023-09-02, version 2.0*

Downloaded this app to log driving hours with my daughter. I went to save hour 56 minute drive, but because I had not selected the driving environment, it deleted it. I tried to go back and select city driving, but instead, it deleted the entire drive. This is a basic need, and I was more than annoyed when I realized I couldn’t just fix it. Skip this app.

### 1/5 — Timer Pauses when phone sleeps.

*2023-06-19, version 2.0*

Sadly you can’t rely on the timer.  Need to double check your start and stop times if your phone goes to sleep.

### 1/5 — trash

*2023-05-30, version 2.0*

the log doesn’t work in the dmv

### 1/5 — Lost records

*2022-11-11, version 1.4*

Doesn’t work. All my drives still there in the log but my total time and all charts data went back to zero. Had to input info in different app. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Drive timer in App does not run in background

*2022-08-15, version 1.4*

We used this app for the first time today and it does not work properly. We had the app running, but had to have it running in the background because of the need for navigation to be visible on the phone. The timer stops when the app is running in the background. Due to this, the app is completely useless.

### 1/5 — Won’t log drives

*2022-06-15, version 1.4*

This application started logging drives but somehow stopped all of a sudden. Some drives are even 1 minute long. Smh don’t use it. It’s an useless app.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2024-11-30, version 2.2*

So sigma

### 5/5 — great app + helpful for accountability

*2024-01-23, version 2.2*

without this app, recording my hours was a hassle. im glad i was able to use this app because logging my hours is important and makes me a better driver which makes me + ppl on the streets safer! the ui is orettt straightforward and gets the job done so i highly recommend

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2024-01-23, version 2.2*

Seeing all my drives in one place on the map is pretty cool, helps with exploring new roads

### 5/5 — Really thoughtful

*2024-01-20, version 2.1*

I was just expecting essentially a time tracker, but this app tracks skills and actually gives a detailed breakdown of my practice. Pleasantly surprised.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2023-12-22, version 2.0*

I really love the app so much! I love that it logs the hours and shows you the routes you’ve taken. I’m trying to use this app again with my second child, but I cannot delete my first child’s data. Any help on that?

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-09-12, version 2.0*

Used to track my hours for my learners permit and this app made it so easy not only to track my hours but to classify them into different types of drives. The pie chart really helps visualize what type of driving you need to do more of. Overall I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to keep track of their hours.

### 5/5 — 11/10

*2022-09-07, version 1.4*

This app helped me so much when I was learning to drive. One thing I really appreciated was the simplicity on how to track/log hours and to differentiate the different types of drives you go on. If you or someone you know is learning how to drive, I would sincerely reccomend this app.

### 5/5 — 💀

*2022-08-21, version 1.4*

🌽🌽🌽

### 5/5 — Absolutely perfect

*2022-08-21, version 1.4*

I just needed something to track my son’s driving hours. This did exactly that. I recommend it highly.

### 5/5 — pie chart working again

*2022-05-17, version 1.4*

based on a response from the developer (thank you for that), the pie chart is working again.
