Hey guys, anybody have any recommendations on apps that track vehicle mileage? Looking for something free, preferably, but not opposed to paying a reasonable monthly fee if it makes my life that much easier.

I do a lot of local service calls for my maintenance business (generally less than 50 mi roundtrip) and am kind of overwhelmed at the options out there. Hoping a few of you have some experiences to share.

Honestly, I think I'm more interested in the CONS of the apps you've used. Tell me what it is about them that didn't work for your needs (wasn't free, drained battery, inaccurate, etc etc). Thanks!

What are you doing now? I track my mileage everyday and I just use a simple Excel sheet. Put in the date, starting mileage, and ending mileage. At the end of the year I send the spreadsheet to my computer and create a third column that subtracts ending from starting and now I have my yearly mileage total and daily totals.

It's quick and easy and I have a record for my taxes that doesn't take some fancy app to open.

MileIQ in the App Store, might be helpful, depends upon your needs I suppose.

That's the first one I found, which led me to dozens and dozens of similar apps... it's $5.99/mo, which isn't terrible, but there are several free ones available. Was just hoping somebody might actually have some experiences using one of them that they'd be willing to share.

I use MileBug Free/Lite version for iPhone. Works pretty good for what it needs to do
