## What is RouteLog?

Perfect for the self-employed, contractors, rideshare & delivery drivers, or anyone tracking business miles for deductions or reimbursement.

### 5/5 — Amazing for Mileage Tracking and Tax Time!

*2025-05-30*

I’ve tried a few mileage tracker apps, but this one is by far the easiest and most reliable. It automatically tracks my trips in the background, so I never have to worry about forgetting to log anything. The interface is clean and user-friendly, and it’s super easy to categorize drives as personal or business with just a tap.

The best part? The tax report feature! At the end of the month (or year), I can generate detailed IRS-compliant reports in seconds. It’s saved me hours of paperwork and helped me maximize my deductions.

Highly recommend for freelancers, business owners, or anyone who needs accurate mileage tracking. This app just works — and works really well.

### 1/5 — Has potential

*2025-03-17*

Downgrade to one star for no updates in 3 months.

The suggested additions below would be easy additions to make but for now I’m forced to look elsewhere.

Good simple mileage tracker. A couple simple updates could make it great. 

1) allow us to select specific to/from dates when creating reports so we don’t create reports with overlapping entries. Current date filter options for reports aren’t specific enough (e.g. I want a report of business drives only between Jan 27 and Jan 30). 

Another way to accomplish this would be to track which drives have been added to prior reports and give the option to exclude them from future reports.

2) swiping! Swipe right for business, swipe left for personal. Would make classification even easier!

**Developer response:** Hello Johnny — thank you for this, and you were right to push us.

Good news: RouteLog is back in active development, and both of your requests are now live in the latest version:

1) Report date ranges. Reports now support a custom from/to date range — pick exact dates (e.g. Jan 27–30) so you never get overlapping entries. We also added an "Exclude Already Reported" toggle, so drives already included in a past report are automatically left out of future ones — exactly the second approach you suggested.

2) Swipe to classify. Swipe right for Business, left for Personal — classifying drives is now as fast as you asked.

The app has been fully relaunched and we're committed to regular updates and support going forward — more improvements are already on the way. Please update to the latest version and give it another try; we'd genuinely love to earn those stars back.

Thanks again for the detailed, constructive feedback — it directly shaped this release.

### 1/5 — Inconsistent

*2024-11-23*

The app is not performing to the degree that a paid app should. It is VERY inconsistent with locations. For example it has multiple address for my address when I leave to work that sometimes I have to google search most addresses to see where I was. 

I think each update has made the app worse. I have emailed them about:
1. Making it so you can at least change the location/address in the app to more accurately document where you travel to
2. At least have the ability to make notes of the places that you visit 
3. The final one was the app not capturing locations. I look through the app and some dates are missing for my work travel days. Sometimes the notification does not pop up until the next day or way later in the night or not at all. 
I have restarted the app to according to their instructions but the same thing is happening. 

Please fix the app or I would definitely like a refund back.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for your feedback.
Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear about the challenges you've been experiencing with the app. Your input is incredibly valuable, and we deeply appreciate the time you’ve taken to share these details.

Location Accuracy: We understand how crucial it is for the app to track locations accurately. We're actively working on refining our location-tracking algorithm to ensure greater consistency.
Customizable Features: Your suggestions for editing locations and adding notes are fantastic ideas. We're pleased to let you know that these features are on our development roadmap, and we hope to implement them soon to enhance your experience.
Missed Notifications and Tracking Issues: We regret any inconvenience caused by missed locations or delayed notifications. Our team is investigating this issue, and we’re committed to resolving it in the next update.
In the meantime, if you continue to experience these issues, please reach out to our support team so we can assist you further. We genuinely want to make this app the best it can be for our users, and your feedback helps us get there.

Thank you for your patience and support as we work to improve!

### 1/5 — No support

*2024-09-12*

I paid for the app, started using it. It definitely tracks where I go, but I am unable to download any kind of record or email myself the tracking so that I can submit it to Tax’s. I tried to reach out for some support and there is none available the app says” unable to email” also no phone number or availability to get a hold of anybody to help

**Developer response:** Hello!
Thanks for your feedback. You can use the Contact Us form to send email on the Settings screen. Also on the Reports page, you can create a report and press share icon for sharing pdf file.

### 5/5 — Love This App!

*2024-04-04*

A great app for tracking your fuelings and servicing your vehicles. If you want to monitor your expenses on gas or your MPG this is the app for you. With the 2.0 update the graphs are and information displayed is even more in-depth. Great work from the App Cubby team at making this a tremendous app.

Suggestions
--------------------
- A CSV download option if I'd like to pull my data out of the app (either through the app itself or a web interface since the app is syncing data to your servers)
- Google Spreadsheet integration (in addition or as an alternative to the CSV download, the ability to send the data to a Google Spreadsheet file or to sync with it as a way to reduce the overhead of backing up data to the App Cubby system)
- Maintenance schedule (listing the items that are due next to be up for service)

### 5/5 — Good program

*2024-04-04*

It does what I need it to do

### 5/5 — don’t bother to purchase

*2024-04-04*

Poor app and no customer service. A huge waste of time and money. The guys that run/maintain this app don’t use their own app. They definitely don’t read the reviews!

### 5/5 — The Best Gas App

*2024-04-04*

I haven’t signed up for Premium yet but I will because I love this app. Very clean and well thought out. Incredible what you get without upgrading.

### 5/5 — Works fine

*2024-01-19*

Man, I'm telling you, this app is my mileage superhero! I'm using it like crazy, especially for my business miles – and it's a piece of cake. Hit one button for business, another for personal, and boom, you're done. Seeing my deductions adding up it's like a little victory dance every time. This app rocks my world!
