I’ve been using this app for over a decade and I find it so helpful. I started using it just to track my mileage, but soon realized that all of my automotive expenses, reminders, and notes can have a single home! Please keep it going just like it is: simple and useful!
SusanVette • Mar 12, 2026
Really is the BEST out there. So easy to use. Tracks my mpg (the truth, not what your car wants you to believe) and when I sell my cars I hand the new owner a spreadsheet of everything EVER done to the car. When I bought new tires, rotated, oil changes, recalls, any and everything with ALL associated costs! . I even added when I filled my tires! Absolute best app! It’s a good time to see what other apps Darren has out now. Thanks again!

Does ALL the things AND does not collect personal data.
Started with the lite free version and after almost a year I have upgraded- great tool, tracking gas stations especially, just got a bad tank of gas, vs a great tank of gas- I can track that too. Keep track of my snow tire mileage and regular tire mileage as I swap back and forth.
SchulSJ • Jan 29, 2026
I’ve been using this app for years. Many vehicles, dirt bikes, trailers, and a generator. Very easy to setup and keep up with all maintenance needs and tracking n

Road Trip is one of my most-used apps. It long ago replaced my paper journal kept in the glove box. I admit I haven’t use the trip and service features, but just keeping track of the day-to-day mileage and fill-ups is well worth the cost. And best yet, it’s a one-time purchase, which is a huge plus in these SaaS days. The developer cares about their product and it shows. If you’re looking for a tracking app for your car, look no further. A+++

I’ve used this handy app with four consecutive vehicles. It’s been glitch free and informative. It’s become easily routine to enter information. Recommend!

Used this app over 10 years several phone’s, upgrades , never missed a lick. Easy to use. Great records helped with tracking maintenance. Fun to see how far you’ve gone!!!
Lindseyx2 • Nov 9, 2025
Does everything I want to track our vehicles. Keep up the great work!

Using for more than five years and no complains
koffee66 • Sep 21, 2025
It’s really just about the perfect app. Does one thing exceptionally well. It has a few ancillary features that aren’t quite as well thought out but that’s ok. Nothing beats it for tracking mileage.
MTShipp • Sep 20, 2025
Another, out of the park, update from Darren. As below, this app has followed me to every new iPhone and iPad. Useful, functional, and beneficial.


This app is the only one that has been kept on my phones through every phone upgrade for years. The developer is always finding ways to improve it. And it’s always 5-stars!
BWGCC • Sep 11, 2025
This is a very good app! Very detailed! Never a problem or crash ever.
Carrie (west) • Aug 24, 2025
I’ve used this app since 2012, and I can happily say this has been so easy to keep track of anything I would ever want for my car.

Putting in every fill up is super simple, and it calculates my MPG and puts it in a graph with all my other fill ups. I have multiple reminders for things like changing my oil or my car inspection, so I can keep track of that. Additionally, since I’ve put things in the services tab like when I’ve had to buy a battery, tires or even wiper blades, I can see when I did it last and any other information.

I simply cannot recommend this app enough, I’ve enjoyed it so much that I created an Apple Shortcut to open the “add fuel” prompt and I paired it to an NFC sticker that I put on my dashboard, so I can easily tap it and start logging my gas. And that works flawlessly!!

Thank you for the amazing app!!

I’ve been using Road Trip for 2 years now. It is excellent. Exactly what I was looking for. This replaced an Excel spreadsheet I’d been using for years.

- feature rich
- runs locally
- backup to icloud
- data is easily exportable
- fast, easy to use at the pump

The only thing I’d love to see is a watchOS App, in case I don’t have my phone when I fill up.
SkyflyerS6 • Aug 16, 2025
I have used Road Trip MPG since it first appeared on Apple App Store.

Continual improvements now make it work for everything from my classic van through my EV.

I even use it for my home generator and garden tractor.

Reminders work great and keeps me on maintanance task before overdue.

Great job to developer.
