### 2/5 — Missing trips

*2026-08-06*

This app randomly leaves off entire days worth of trips. When reported to customer service, they say to put in the trips manually. They tell me it’s my fault for turning on the battery save mode on my iPhone. Well, I haven’t used the battery save mode now for over a week. And the app is still leaving off entire days worth of trip trips.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry you experienced this. Since your review, we’ve released a major Tripbook update with a new underlying trip-tracking system designed to prevent missed trips and make automatic tracking significantly more reliable.

Please update to the latest version of Tripbook and give it another try. We’re confident this update addresses the issue you experienced.

If you have any questions or still experience an issue, please contact us at info@tripbook.io so we can help you directly.

### 3/5 — Good app with potential

*2026-07-09*

The app is generally very good and definitely helps me on a day-to-day basis, but I’m still missing a few features that would make it much smarter and reduce manual work.

The biggest improvement would be tracking presets. For example, when I drive from home to work, the app often recognizes a slightly different address each time. Ideally, users could define and label a set of common locations (e.g. “Home”, “Work”, “Gym”). When the app detects a trip that matches or is close to one of these predefined routes, it could send a notification such as:

“Was that your drive to work?” → Yes / No

This could be powered by configurable rules, similar to smart email filters, and would significantly reduce the amount of manual categorization required.

Another improvement would be assigning the cost per kilometer to the selected vehicle rather than using a single global rate. For example, the reimbursement rate for a car is different from that of a motorcycle, scooter, or bicycle, so this should be handled automatically based on the vehicle used.

If these features were added, this would easily be a 5-star app for me.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed feedback! We’ve just added one of the improvements you mentioned in our latest update.

You can now set your **Home and Work addresses** in Tripbook. When you park within approximately 150 meters of either location, Tripbook will automatically use your saved Home or Work address instead of a slightly different nearby address.

We really appreciate your other suggestions as well, especially around smarter categorization and vehicle-specific mileage rates. Feedback like this helps us decide what to improve next.

### 2/5 — Likes to log 50 foot walks

*2026-07-02*

This app is awesome except for that every time I walk around it gives me a new trip. It logs a 100th of a mile or so, and tells me to report it. There is no way to set a minimum trip distance or length. This should be fixed. Alternatively, I have to turn on the auto tracking every time I start to drive and turn it off when I am done, which kind of destroys the point.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Tripbook currently has a minimum trip distance of 50 meters, so movements shorter than this should not be recorded as trips.

Are you still experiencing these very short walking trips with the latest version? If so, we’d love to look into this further and find out why this is happening in your case. Please reach out to us at info@tripbook.io so we can investigate.

### 3/5 — Inconsistent

*2026-05-30*

I subscribed to this to automatically track my miles because I kept forgetting to. About a third of the time this app quits logging and I realize it after driving a long while.

**Developer response:** We've significantly improved trip tracking since our May update. The issues that could prevent trips from being logged after restarting your iPhone or installing updates have been resolved, and trips should now be tracked reliably in these situations.

Are you still experiencing any missing trips?

If so, please contact us at info@tripbook.io and let us know what you're seeing. We'd be happy to investigate and make sure everything is working correctly on your device.

### 1/5 — BUYER BEWARE!!!

*2025-12-13*

My app stopped working, I did everything the support team said, and ultimately lost all of my data. I’m out all of my money, and I have no records of my mileage for the year. STAY AWAY FROM TRIPBOOK!!!!

**Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about your frustration. After reviewing this case, our records show the app was not updated and trip tracking was never activated, so no mileage data was recorded and therefore not lost.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2025-12-12, version 1.79*

Auto tracking is too unreliable, needs an option to “start tracking now” to really make it a stand out app. More options for “total KM” in each category in reports also. Rather than just every drive listed. I’m paying for a service if you’re not going to simplify an track all the data properly what’s the point.

Every day auto tracking misses drives and I have to manually ad them, which spent accurately track the route taken. More and more this app shows its flaws.

### 2/5 — Privacy concerns

*2025-10-20*

The app is forcing me every time to change the app tracking for always ! Why ? Even thought I change it to manual it keeps middle
Of no where to remind me to switch to always
No thanks , uninstalling

**Developer response:** Hi,

Our app requires location on "Always" in order to work accordingly.
Without these permissions we are unable to detect driving.

Kind regards,
Tripbook

### 1/5 — Not the best

*2025-09-27*

It misses drives and doesn’t always get the exact location. MileIQ is much better. Better user interface as well.

**Developer response:** Tripbook should always capture all your trips. Please reach out to us at info@tripbook.io, so we can help you figure out where it goes wrong.

### 3/5 — Good half of the time

*2025-02-27*

When it works, it’s great. When it doesn’t you might as well use pen and paper, it would be more reliable. Auto tracking doesn’t always work which kinda defeats the purpose.

**Developer response:** Can you reach out to us at info@tripbook.io? Tripbook should track all your trips, lets look what is going wrong!

### 2/5 — Automatisch Aufzeichnung

*2025-01-28*

Ich bin enttäuscht von dem Fahrtenbuch. Die automatische Aufzeichnung ist nicht sehr zuverlässig, mal ist sie da, mal nicht.

Im Bericht stehen die falschen Uhrzeiten, sie stimmen nicht mit dem Eintrag in der App überein.

### 4/5 — Days of the week as business trips

*2025-01-17*

It would be good, if the app allowed you to just nominate Mon to Friday as business trips, opposed to tagging them individually

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We will definitely consider your proposal to implement!

### 1/5 — Paid full price for premium. Why does the purchase premium function in settings continue to NAG

*2024-12-06*

Paid full price for premium. The full $100 Why does the purchase premium function continue to MAG IS THE settings MENU. Update your UI. Premium should remove the moment PAID USER REGISTERS.

### 1/5 — Stopped logging trips

*2026-08-24*

Just like that it stopped without me knowing. I switched from mile iq ti tripbook hoping for cheaper alternative. Well the app stopped working and i was unable to recover 6 weeks of driving. Went back to mile iq.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry you experienced this. Yesterday, we released a major update to Tripbook with a new underlying trip-tracking system designed to prevent this issue and make automatic trip logging significantly more reliable.

Please update to the latest version and give Tripbook another try. We’re confident you’ll see a big improvement.

If you have any questions or experience any issues, please reach out to us directly at info@tripbook.io — we’d be happy to help.

### 1/5 — Not precise

*2026-06-21*

I starting using this after MileIQ raised their price. I immediately realized that MileIQ is worth the asking price. I travel for work. A series of short trips and it’s important to have an exact address for my destinations. I need it for potential court cases. Tripbook does NOT give precise addresses. Instead, it’s an area. This does not work for me.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We understand how important accurate addresses are when you rely on your trip records for work.

We’ve just released an update with several improvements specifically aimed at address accuracy. You can now set your **Home and Work addresses**, which Tripbook will use whenever you park within approximately 150 meters of those locations. You can also **save frequently visited addresses as favorites** for quick selection.

In addition, Tripbook now uses the **end address of your previous trip as the starting address of your next trip**, helping ensure consistent and more precise addresses, especially when making multiple short trips.

Please update to the latest version and give it another try. If you still experience inaccurate addresses, contact us at info@tripbook.io and we’ll be happy to look into it.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-05-10*

I paid for the premium version and this app does not properly track trips. There are days without any trips logged.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry for the frustration.

We've made significant improvements to trip tracking since version 25.05. In our latest version, the issues that could cause trips to be missed have been addressed, and this problem should no longer occur.

If you're still experiencing missing trips after updating to the latest version, please contact us at info@tripbook.io so we can investigate your specific situation and help resolve it.

### 1/5 — Deleted it immediately!

*2026-04-28*

With all n App purchases, just a no go!

**Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear, but we do have a free version where you get 20 trips free each month! 
If you need to help, please reach out to us at info@tripbook.io

### 1/5 — No free option I could find

*2026-04-18*

I couldn’t find a trial version. I’m not paying for something unless I know it will work for me.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear, but we do have a free version where you get 20 trips free each month!

### 1/5 — Piece of junk

*2026-03-26*

This app does not work the way it’s supposed to it randomly turns on and turns off and does not detect your trips always do not buy this

**Developer response:** Hi Derek,

Thank you for your feedback. As communicated, we have a App Configuration Check build in, to detect if your settings are correctly setup, to prevent trips not being recorded. However, we received no feedback from you to help you identify the issue. If you still want help, feel free to reach out to us again at info@tripbook.io. Happy to help to set up Tripbook correctly!

Kind regards,
Tripbook

### 1/5 — Too complicated

*2026-02-02*

Can’t figure out how to designate type of drive - commercial, personal etc.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’re happy to help you get this set up correctly.

Please reach out to us at info@tripbook.io, and we’ll guide you through how to designate trips (commercial, personal, etc.) step by step.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t always track even though I have it set up to track all my moves

*2026-01-30*

It’s very frustrating when you take a trip, but the app will not track your mileage so then I have to go in and enter it manually. The whole point of this app is for it to track all of your travels, I’ve checked my settings. I restarted the app. It will not track my trips, It  only does it sometimes it tracks when it wants to, it’s not worth it. I’m glad I didn’t pay the full amount just the monthly. And I should’ve known that it wasn’t going to work, the trial wasn’t tracking all of the trips either, but I naïvely thought it was because I didn’t have the premium, and then I paid for the premium and I still have the same issue. The only thing I can think of as to why it will not work is because I have my phone plugged in so I can play music in my car and so my phone has my Spotify playing in the background and I think that the app won’t track if another app is being used? If my husband drives and I’m on my phone using instagram or another app it won’t track my mileage either even though we’re driving to a location. I think that is something the developers need to work on.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Since your review, we’ve released a major Tripbook update that completely changes the underlying technology used for automatic trip tracking.

The new system is designed to keep tracking reliably in the background, including while you’re using other apps such as Spotify, Instagram, or navigation apps. It also continues working more reliably after restarting your iPhone or installing an iOS update.

Please update Tripbook to the latest version and give it another try. We’re confident you’ll notice a significant improvement. If you still experience missed trips, please contact us at info@tripbook.io and we’ll be happy to investigate.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work 50%

*2026-01-21*

Missed an entire week of trips with auto tracking on. Paid $150 for the app. Expect better

All trips should be recorded, I'm happy to have a look together what may the issue.

Kind regards,
Tripbook

### 5/5 — Love the app!

*2026-07-22*

I have noticed that often the app logs trips without entries when I stop, perhaps this is because I am dropping off and making quick stops and take my phone out of the car with me. I do have to make notes about what the stops were and who they were for. It can be confusing if you see addy to and from are the same but it logs a lot of miles.

**Developer response:** Thank you! We’re glad to hear you love Tripbook.

Tripbook should normally recognize your individual stops, including shorter ones. If you’re regularly seeing multiple stops combined into a single trip, we’d love to take a closer look and see what’s happening.

Please reach out to us at[info@tripbook.io with some examples of these trips, and we’ll be happy to investigate.

### 5/5 — Good but could wish to have more functions

*2026-07-22*

Hope could have custom categories and label functions.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Tripbook already includes a **Notes** feature that you can use to add your own information or labels to trips.

Your previously used notes are also saved in your history, so you can quickly select and reuse them for future trips without having to type them again each time.

We hope this helps! We’re continuing to improve Tripbook and appreciate your suggestion.

*2026-02-13*

Gute Reisedokumentation und Auswertung
Export der Daten einfach und unkompliziert

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank, das freut uns sehr zu hören!

### 5/5 — En avant, en faisant attention

*2026-02-07*

Pas mal pour une grande première, c’est une nouveauté de cette année 2026, c’est super bien et ça autorise l’enregistrement et ça enregistre automatiquement. Ben le trajet que l’on fait en fait.

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup, ça nous fait vraiment plaisir à lire !

### 5/5 — 303

*2026-01-01*

Easy to set up and use

**Developer response:** Great to hear, thanks for your feedback!

### 5/5 — Update

*2024-08-28*

After contacting the support team, they advised of a bug in the app. After deleting and reinstalling, it works much better now and records accurately. 
Great customer service and great way to keep track of your KMs .

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Can you please reach to us on info@tripbook.io to elaborate on the accuracy issues? Would really like to fix this!

### 5/5 — Wonderful, timely customer support

*2024-06-21*

Help is only an email away

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot!

### 4/5 — Fast perfekt

*2025-09-16*

Ich bin mit den Funktionen sehr zufrieden und die Oberfläche ist wirklich auf das notwendige Minimum reduziert. Super. Was mir noch fehlt, ist die Funktion zwei Fahrten zusammenzufügen. Zum Beispiel wenn man irgendwo mal auf dem Weg zum Ziel 10 oder 15 Minuten Pause gemacht hat, hier die Fahrten zusammenzuführen.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie mit den Funktionen und der Oberfläche zufrieden sind. Ihre Anregung, Fahrten zusammenführen zu können, nehmen wir gerne auf und werden diese Funktion intern prüfen und überlegen.
