This app can be used by a teen driver to keep track of her driving log while on a learner permit. This app can auto-track trips or the user may enter her trips manually. In the auto-track mode, the app automatically records trips in the background. When the app is launched, any detected trips will be presented to the user and can be added to your driving log. The app does not track current location while trip is in progress and hence the actual route is not recorded. This should be very easy on your device battery. Night driving time is automatically calculated based on starting location. Beware that it takes a few minutes for the app to show your last trip after you reach your destination. This is to avoid false positives (for example: you may have stopped at a traffic light). If you drive occasionally, for best results, be sure to enable auto-detect before you start your trip and wait to turn it off after it has recorded your trip. You may also add trips manually. Pick the end points on a map and enter the start and end times. App uses the start location to calculate night driving time. You can also add notes to each trip. The app supports multiple student drivers. Track their driving logs independently. Privacy Policy: Your trip data is saved in your device. If you delete the app, data is also removed and cannot be recovered.
