Driver Notes is specially developed to keep your trip registration as simple as possible. Press "Start Drive" when you drive away and "Stop" when you arrive at your destination. Enter your current mileage and .... done! No commercials! Easily view, edit or share your history. Driver Notes does not need to be active while driving. Driver Notes updates your location the moment you press "Stop" and uses the same data when you drive away. Rather enter your location yourself instead of using GPS? No problem! Choose the setting you like. All data stays on your iPhone and is only yours! When purchased, the app is completely complete and can be used unlimited! Still, there is 1 in-app purchase for those enthusiasts who want to register multiple cars. For an amount of around 1 Dollar (exact amount depends on region and currency), you can add unlimited cars.
