Roadworthy is for UK driving instructors. Solo ADIs, or a small school with a few instructors on the books. The whole business runs from your phone, between lessons, from the driver's seat. Roadworthy requires a paid subscription, with a 30-day free trial to start. Every feature described below — the diary, CarPlay, sketches, the pupil app, online booking, pupil progress, earnings and the rest — is included in that one subscription. There is nothing else to buy and no other in-app purchases. IN THE CAR WITH YOU Roadworthy runs on CarPlay: your next pickup, a live countdown, what you covered last time and today's focus, a heads-up when the drive to the next pickup is tighter than the gap, and one tap to hand navigation to Apple Maps. WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Your diary opens in a blackspot. Move or add a lesson with no signal and it's kept safe and sent the moment you're back online. SMART DIARY Your day and your week at a glance, with free days shown because a gap is the thing you want to fill. Set up standing weekly lessons once. If two pickups are too far apart to make in time, Roadworthy tells you before you've promised the slot. Pupils can have more than one pickup — home, work, college. FILL CANCELLATIONS When a lesson cancels, text your waitlist in a tap and the first pupil to reply YES is booked straight in. Pupils who've told you they're free at that time are shown first. SKETCH ON THE ROAD Freeze a satellite view of a junction or roundabout and draw on it with your finger or Apple Pencil. Keep a library of them, and attach one to a lesson so your pupil sees it in their app that evening. YOUR PUPILS' APP Pupils see their next lesson, what you covered, their progress and anything owed, in your school's name and colours. They can message you, ask to cancel or move a lesson (you decide), sign your terms, and tell you when they're usually free. PUPIL PROGRESS & STANDARDS CHECK A DVSA skills grid for each learner, a test-readiness gauge, theory-expiry alerts and a countdown to the practical. Record each test result and see DVSA's four Standards Check triggers for your last 12 months. ONLINE BOOKING & PAYMENTS Send a learner your booking link. They pick a free slot and pay by card, and the money lands in your own account. Not ours. EARNINGS, EXPENSES & MILEAGE What you've taken, what's still owed, and what's left after fuel and costs. Log business miles for your HMRC mileage allowance, get reminders before your MOT, tax and insurance are due, and export a CSV for your accountant. AND MORE Prepaid lesson blocks, voice lesson notes, reminders, deposits that cover you for no-shows, and a school view when there's more than one of you. SUBSCRIPTION 30-day free trial, then £13.99/month or £109.99/year. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
