Only thing is that there’s ads, but that’s something that can be dealt with ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-10, version 3.3.1* I love it way more the road ready. It’s super great. ### 5/5 — Actually works!!!! *2026-07-10, version 3.3.1* After experiencing frustration with other apps we tried this one. It's simple, intuitive and works 100% of the time. ### 5/5 — Did not save properly *2026-07-09, version 3.3.1* The app is going well for me, but then we went somewhere and I paused and I came back and the app was closed and it erased the drive that I had and I had to restart a new one ### 3/5 — too many ads *2026-07-08, version 3.3.1* too many ads ### 5/5 — GREAT! 👍🏻 *2026-07-06, version 3.3* Love it I am currently a student driver. And this has been great for me. I have tried others like road ready but this one is just different. It works so much better but easier to log and much more simple other than ads everything is perfect. I love how I could turn off my phone and it can keep the time going rather than other apps. You have to keep your phone on draining your battery while you’re driving for you to keep logging. Also love how it is free. The only thing u can pay for is to get rid adds but otherwise it’s great! If you were looking for a driving log that is free for your teen or if you are a student driver, this is the app for you! 🫶🏻🩷 ### 5/5 — Works Great *2026-07-03, version 3.3* The app seems very easy to navigate, and should you have any questions? Customer service is exceptionally responsive and helpful! Thank you from nmwcrafts.com ### 5/5 — Way better than other apps *2026-06-29, version 3.3* Love it ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-28, version 3.2.2* Fantastic and so easy to keep track of my drives ### 5/5 — So far, so good! *2026-06-24, version 3.2.2* I’ve only logged one drive, but so far, I like it. I am glad it has a backup and restore feature as well as the ability to download logs. ### 5/5 — Drivers ed school approved *2026-06-22, version 3.2.2* I work at a driving school and we recommend this app to every student that signs up. It is so easy to use and makes logging your 50 hours easier and more accurate. ### 5/5 — Simple yet Functional *2026-06-21, version 3.2.2* This app is anything and everything one might need from a driving tracker. It manages to be simple but incredibly functional. The worst think about it is the ads if you don’t pay for premium, but it’s not in your face and it’s all very reasonable; a guys gotta pay the bills. Thanks so much to the dev for such a great app that helped me get my license! ### 5/5 — Love *2026-06-19, version 3.2.2* This is a great app for student drivers who are trying to log their hours driven. You can pause and unpause for stops so that you can have one log for each day. Definitely use this app if you’re wanting to log driving hours! ### 3/5 — I like it but the ads are annoying. *2026-06-19, version 3.2.2* I was using a different app before to track my driving but it wasn’t working whatsoever so I switched to this one and I’ve seen many noticeable improvement. However, I do still believe there are improvements to be made. For example, adds play almost constantly and I wish you were able to set a start time and an end time for drives. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Seems a bit sketchy of an app *2026-06-24, version 3.2.2* “This app is completely 100% free. *but we need your your current credit information in order to save.* ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-03-19, version 3.2* Constant ads make app unusable. Cannot log drives unless you pay for an account ### 1/5 — Genuinely horrible *2026-01-05, version 3.0* It’s an ad every entry, unusable ### 1/5 — Inappropriate ads, user beware *2025-12-29, version 3.0* This app functions well, but I will be deleting. If you get the free version, the ads contain images that look like soft porn. Don’t want to expose my teenager to that. You can pay to have the ads removed. ### 1/5 — App used to be good. *2025-12-28, version 3.0* App will stop recording drives mid drive. Losing all data. App was good but needs updating and bug fixes ### 1/5 — Missing info *2025-11-16, version 3.0* UPDATE - continues to be a terrible app. Anyone have suggestions of something better?? Numerous instances of missing data from a drive (no gps map, incorrect time, trip randomly deleted). Not great experience. ### 1/5 — App data doesn’t save *2025-11-16, version 3.0* Make sure you don’t upgrade or reset your phone. Unlike with other apps, this one doesn’t save your data. ### 1/5 — Butt *2025-08-24, version 3.0* Hecka adds do not use ts💔 ### 1/5 — Poor function *2025-02-19, version 2.4.2* Did not remove ads after I spent $2, buttons did not work ### 1/5 — Very buggy *2025-01-19, version 2.4.2* Lots of issues, doesn’t log drives, too many ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Better than RoadReady!!! *2026-08-04, version 3.3.2* I don’t have to get an account. It saves drives, you can import your previous drives. It’s also incredibly simple to use!!! 5 stars, no problems! ### 5/5 — A Must For Permit Driving *2026-07-30, version 3.3.2* This app has been a game changer for our family. Being able to track my son’s drives has come in handy many times. The map and heat map overlay to show where he has been is helpful for me to know areas we’ve been and areas we need to explore more. The ability to add notes, day or night drive and manual drive entry is also a nice feature for those times I forget my phone. I am looking forward to future upgrades that provide the ability to track more than one driver at a time. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-07-29, version 3.3.2* This is WAY better than road ready no cap on god bro ### 5/5 — Better than road ready *2026-07-27, version 3.3.1* W app ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-26, version 3.3.1* Better than road ready ### 5/5 — Student driver *2026-07-25, version 3.3.1* The best driving logger I have used, super easy and efficient. ### 5/5 — Easy to use, no required login, overall amazing. *2026-07-23, version 3.3.1* Unlike road ready, this app is genuinely amazing. The ads are reasonable and don’t play randomly. Being able to manually put in my hours I’ve written down is amazing. A really good alternative from road ready because of its recent update. ### 5/5 — Haha *2026-07-22, version 3.3.1* Too many ads ### 5/5 — Works great *2026-07-14, version 3.3.1* Switched to this from road ready and it’s been so much better. Simple and just works. ### 5/5 — Better than RoadReady *2026-07-13, version 3.3.1* RoadReady did a new update that broke the app, these guys kept it simple and it works perfect. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
