I just don’t think it is worth $2 for this app. The way to program this app is extremely simple and could be done in under 30 mins. But if you don’t care about the cost then you should get the app. ### 4/5 — Very easy to use but I forget to turn it off *2020-09-29, version 2.7.5* I got this app so could easily keep track of my driving instead of writing it all down and I think it’s very helpful. Sometimes I leave it on but I usually just estimate the time it probably took me to make the trip. Something that could be fixed is you could add something to help me remember to turn it off because that would be super helpful!! ### 5/5 — A MUST! *2020-07-10, version 2.7.5* Literally the best spent few bucks in my life. Makes logging driving hours a breeze! App allows you to edit the time you drove, passenger, weather, skills practiced, road conditions, and distance traveled. As a plus, you can backup your log to your email in a spreadsheet format. No doubt, this app is a must have! ### 5/5 — So EASY! *2020-03-06, version 2.7.3* Overall This is a perfect app for logging kids hours. The only thing I wish is that we could separate into 2 different drivers and also share our app information with another phone. My hubby and I share driving time and I end up having to go back in and log her hours she’s had with him. ### 5/5 — Review Notes *2019-12-07, version 2.7.3* Installed on an Iphone 11 pro - ios 13.1.3 - No gps auto tracking but allows you to track the details of each drive once you complete a drive - developer stated it won’t have the gps feature - in order to use the email backup feature you must have an email in the iPhone mail app ### 5/5 — Thank you for fixing *2019-11-29, version 2.7.3* Working great again!! ### 5/5 — Good app BUT *2019-10-22, version 2.7.1* The backup feature is not working for me. This would be fine if I didn’t have to send my data to my drivers ed teacher through email. I enter my email address and then press back now, but it doesn’t work when I check my email. ### 5/5 — Great for logging trips! *2019-07-16, version 2.7.1* Being a student driver at the time of writing this, this app is helpful for me. Instead of writing it down, I can enter in seconds my time, what I practiced, and how far I traveled all in under 30 seconds. I also love the timer feature, so you can log the most accurate trip. ### 5/5 — Great way to log driving time, excellent customer support *2019-07-01, version 2.7.1* My son and I love using this user-friendly app to track his time logged behind the wheel. I initially had issues exporting the data (didn’t realize my email account was not linking). I sent an email to customer service and they responded within minutes with step by step instructions. Very impressed!! ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2019-06-30, version 2.7.1* I think it’s a good app, I just think there should be a way to put in amount of time instead of, or as well as start and end time, for time that has already been logged. ### 5/5 — It’s a MUST!!! *2019-06-16, version 2.7.1* This is a PRICELESS app!!! The $1.99 price that I paid is a steal! Anyone who can read at a third grade level can easily use this app. If you forget to start a trip, you can add one after the fact. You can delete logged events by swiping left if you used the incorrect date, etc. It’s that much of an up-to-date app. It has prompting options for skills practiced in drop down lists so that you don’t have to type every skill over and over. The Notes section is a bonus! It allows you to add ANY details you want. I use it like a diary to record the route driven, improvements since last trip, anything to work on next trip, specific suggestion(s) I gave my son for that trip, any special events that occurred such as “******* drove to Bamboo Ridge where he did everything for getting gas and paying for it (with my debit card)” and so on. Yes, it would be nice to sync with another device, but that is cost prohibitive for the developers. All you and your teen driver need to do is use the BACKUP driving log option and send the updated driving data to one of your email addresses and then compile the info in ONE spreadsheet (that you’ll likely need to print and take to your DOT for proof of driving time and skills practiced). It’s truly FUN to log my son’s driving practice events using this app!!! If you’re looking for an app to log your teen driver’s practice experiences, LOOK NO MORE! This really is THE ONE!!! ### 2/5 — Wish it did more *2019-04-02, version 2.7.1* I like the fact that you can track so many driving details. And I was excited you send a log to yourself. Except, I just discovered after 10 days of tracking, it only sends you the number of hours and minutes your teen has driven! That does us zero good because Texas requires we log all the details of how he meets all the requirements. So now I have to transfer all my individual drive time details we tracked into the paper, which was exactly what I was trying to avoid by purchasing this app. ### 5/5 — Excellent and easy to use *2019-03-05, version 2.7.1* Simple and straight forward, yet sufficient. Tried a few others, this one is best. We all forgot to start or stop logging, but it is super simple to edit. Easy to print and take to DMV as a record. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not backing-up, difficult to decide share *2021-03-04, version 2.7.5* While I’ve spent $2.00 is worse ways this app is not worth the hassle. I tried to back-up and it says to go to device settings to enter an email...even though the email is right there on the same page as that message. Went to device settings and Teen Driving Log isn’t showing as an app...umm..ok. 😕 It isn’t easy to save times or dates either - which is why I tried the back-up to begin with. The app is not very intuitive. Get a paper and pen and write a log out yourself and keep it in glove box. It might not save you $2 but it will save you A LOT of frustration! ### 1/5 — Backup *2020-05-14, version 2.7.3* Not able to backup and support is nonexistent. ### 1/5 — New update ruined it. *2019-11-27, version 2.7.2* The app was exactly what I needed for logging my daughter’s drive times, and I was really happy with it. Unfortunately, there was an update, and now everything is invisible in the log. I can’t edit, add, or specify road conditions, etc. because everything is either grayed out or just... not there. I tried deleting the app and downloading it again, but it deleted the entire log. Luckily I had exported the info to an email, so I still have a record, but it didn’t fix the problem. It’s awful. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Won’t Display Data *2019-11-24, version 2.7.2* After app update on 11/23 data no longer displays. I have empty boxes!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Phone died. All records LOST!! *2019-06-13, version 2.7.1* We love this app. My daughter used it for all of her driving and was finished. All she needed to do was print out the driving records and go take her exam. But before she got it done her phone died. She bought a new phone, put the same app on the phone, and realize the information is not saved anywhere other than the phone itself. So all records were lost. She spent hours fabricating her driving time. It was a huge fiasco and I would find an app that actually saves the information somewhere other than just on the phone itself. In hindsight, an old fashion paper and pen would’ve been a better idea. ### 1/5 — Can’t print driving log or submit an email about it *2019-01-29, version 2.7.1* When I started using the app, I thought it was perfect until after several logged drives I found out that the state of Washington requires a hard copy of the log. There is no print or email option that I can find in the app so now all drives have to be transferred to paper. I also tried to submit feedback which was having issues, so here I am. Good app if you do not have to turn in a hard copy to DOL. Can’t recommend for drivers in Washington state. ### 1/5 — Does not total the hours properly *2018-12-01, version 2.7.0* The app seems to log the individual trips properly but the summary does not add up properly. Every one of the trips we have logged is in 5 minute increments yet the total time somehow shows the total hours and 16 minutes. Doesn’t seem like it should be that hard to have that add up correctly before charging someone for an app. ### 1/5 — WASTE OF MONEY!!! *2010-11-23* I bought this app so then I wouldn't have to write my kilometers and everything straight into my log book because I did it messy, so I purchased this app but you have to work put the kilometers yourself, but that's not the problem the problem is that you enter a new entry and It won't let you change the date it keeps sliding back to the date of the previous entry. NOT HAPPY!!! ### 2/5 — Needs updates *2019-10-26, version 2.7.1* Great BUT, need to add functionality for selectable drivers, automatically recording map and miles and ability to stop recording automatically ### 2/5 — Not terribly excited *2019-05-28, version 2.7.1* Doesn’t allow for multiple drivers, or multiple observers. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent Tracker! *2026-07-29, version 2.7.5* Used this for my first teen driver. Easy to use to track the progress and include what skills are being taught by accompanying adult. A must have for a very cheap price. ### 5/5 — Best driving log *2026-06-17, version 2.7.5* This is the best driving log out there. ### 5/5 — •fantastic• driving hours log! *2025-10-21, version 2.7.5* if you are looking for a app to log your hours this is definitely a good option! it’s simple and very easy to use:) ### 5/5 — Barebones way to easily track driving time *2024-11-25, version 2.7.5* Using this now a second time for my second kid. Very easy to hit start and stop. Also easy to correct values when you forget to press start or stop. The summary view easily shows progress and helps keep up the motivation. ### 5/5 — Very helpful with logging hours *2023-12-04, version 2.7.5* I searched quite awhile to find an app that could help us keep track of our teens driving hours. This one was the best. It was easy to log the hours, add who accompanied your teen, weather conditions, and what skills they worked on. The back up printouts were perfect. I especially loved the summary hours that we needed for our County. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — So glad I got this! *2023-04-10, version 2.7.5* I downloaded several other free apps to try to track my teens driving, but none were able to encompass everything I wanted to capture each time she drives. You know, I need to know what we do, encounter, etc. so I know that she’s ready for the real road. No other app allowed me to customize each drive and experience like this one does. It’s great! Highly recommend!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Great little app! *2023-02-02, version 2.7.5* Tried a bunch of different apps to keep track of my daughter’s driving hours and this was the best by far! Definitely worth the couple dollars it cost me. Easy to use, reminds you every 10 drives to send your log to your email, offers lots of different options with regard to recording conditions, skills practiced etc. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-12-25, version 2.7.5* This app is fantastic. Yes…. Sometimes you forget to turn it off after driving, but there is a very easy editing tool to correct when that happens (and keep in mind that is USER error). I’m now using this with my youngest son after using it with his older brother and I highly recommend this app. Really simplified the process for me. ### 5/5 — 3 Children DONE with Driver’s Ed!!! *2021-10-09, version 2.7.5* This App was very useful to conveniently and easily track the driving hours for all 3 children Very user-friendly. Yes, I did forget to stop the timer a few drives - but easily input the correct info. Most often, we just went back and manually input drive time rather than using the timer. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — 👍🏼 *2020-08-29, version 2.7.5* Really good to track types of driving and weather. A notification or a lockscreen reminder to turn it off would be nice. I have left it running for a looong time. The summary is nice also. Over all ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
