### 3/5 — Crashed

*2026-08-12, version 2.0*

I am ask to keep the app in the “always “ mode but when I open the on some days it will say “something went wrong “ and I have to reset the app. Don’t even know how many drives I have lost.

### 2/5 — Mileage rate inaccurate

*2026-06-04, version 2.0*

Just downloaded the app and started using it only to find out the mileage rate being used is from 2022. Paying a monthly fee you would think the app should be current with the published IRS rates.

### 2/5 — Misses drives, errors in start location

*2026-03-30, version 2.0*

I bought a subscription to this, after using MileIQ for years, thinking I could save a little money. WRONG! I wasted it, and went back to MileIQ. Some drives were completely missed, and several had the starting location anywhere from a block to in one case, 7 miles from my actual starting location. I can’t use it, since it’s for IRS reporting, and must be accurate.

### 2/5 — Lacking options

*2026-01-05, version 2.0*

Seems to be good except the fact you can’t manually start tracking a trip. Damn thing has to be set to auto detect.

### 2/5 — Not happy—no background tracking

*2025-12-02, version 2.0*

I used to use QBSE and the tracker was good. Thought I found a great replacement, but the lack of background tracking spoils it all. I ended up closing it and thought it was still tracking. I am so frustrated. Busy summer and no tracking from July to November. I’m looking for another app. The rest was pretty cool.

I never have to remember to start or stop anything — this mileage tracker runs quietly in the background and captures every drive accurately.

### 3/5 — Eeerrr

*2024-10-06, version 2.0*

Great - when it works!!  It keeps shutting off and doesn’t notify you. You have to keep a close eye on it. Not a leave it and walk away as they say. Staff don’t respond when I request a reason this keeps happening. Haven’t had a tax year where 1/3 of my drives can’t be claimed.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-02-13, version 2.0*

Have used this app for over a year.  Stopped working the other day saying it doesn’t have an Internet connection restarted the app, restarted my phone, and tried to delete reinstall and Still not working.  Have sent two emails with no response, tried to use their chat feature for help, but there’s nowhere to enter a message.  Very frustrating, the product has worked great but these are used to track mileage in real time and even not working for 2-3 days is a big deal

### 1/5 — Misses trips constantly. Zero customer service

*2025-11-26, version 2.0*

They will not answer emails and the app
Constantly misses trips. So how am I supposed to get all of my deductions. I do not recommend

### 1/5 — Doesn’t track correctly; no support

*2025-08-05, version 2.0*

Paid for the annual subscription and now regretting it. App has now started “detecting” new trips after just brief stops (stoplights, etc). Breaks one trip into numerous trips. No support response at all. Cancelling, taking my loss, and finding a better app.

### 1/5 — Beware!

*2025-05-08, version 2.0*

This is just SherpaShare by a different name. It’s not free.  I used SherpaShare for several yrs. You just let it run in the background and at tax time, you categorize the recorded rides and add the info to your tax return. 

Pretty simple until their system crashes and they lose everybody’s data and try to hide their mistake, and continue w/ their annual recurring billing even after their system has silently stopped working. 

That’s what happened over the past yr. When I attempted to contact them to get the charges reversed, they wouldn’t answer my emails. I had to request a charge back through my bank. 

It appears that what happened is their system crashed, and they weren’t making adequate backups, so all user data for 2024 was lost. 

I realize that problems happen, but I expect them to be backing their systems up, and periodically checking their backups. To not do this is very amateurish, but they’re playing w/ people’s taxes. 

Their lack of willingness to come clean and communicate w/ their customers honestly, is the most disturbing part.

### 1/5 — Love the app, hate support

*2024-09-08, version 2.0*

Update: app is very glitchy, skipping trips, giving error messages. 
Absolutely zero response from tech support. 
From great to money grab scam. 

I’ve tried several mileage apps. There are several that are good for low mileage accounts. But I track mileage every day. I have stuck with this app because it’s reliable and works well. Two problems: I keep having trips returned to my unassigned screen. There’s no way to fix this. I need to change my account email address and there appears to be no way to do that on my own and when I reach out to Support, I never hear back from them. That’s why I gave them three stars instead of five.

### 1/5 — Constantly getting inaccurate records

*2024-06-15, version 2.0*

I keep getting drives from the US to another country, while I’ve never even left the US. Please fix this issue or issue me a refund for my subscription. This is getting ridiculous

### 1/5 — Poor customer service

*2024-02-29, version 2.0*

Nobody reply to your questions or concerns even though it says will reply in 3 minutes… Been waiting for several days. I have trouble with my miles tracking and nobody responsible enough care for the customers

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-09-01, version 2.0*

It was constantly not working and I paid for the yearly membership! I lost a lot of miles and kept trying to reset it. No response from anyone there and lost my money. Don’t get

### 1/5 — Junk

*2023-05-16, version 2.0*

I was trying to use it to track my golf cart that will go 35mph and could not get it to work.

### 1/5 — No customer care

*2023-02-22, version 2.0*

Have been waiting for a response for questions for 2 months. 
Tried to email a yearly summary and have not received now for 2 months.
App does not break down information as to report of each car. Multiple cars used but no evidence of that in monthly or annual summary.
Tried chat and email and still get no response. This app is a joke.
