A handful of fixes from the 1.2.0 smoke test: - **HMRC Connect button now works.** The 1.2.0 build opened the wrong URL and bounced you to a "Missing or invalid token" error. Fixed. - **No more upsell modal for existing Pro members.** Pro users tracking their 5th trip were seeing a "Subscribe to Pro" pitch. Embarrassing. Won't happen again. - **Paywall copy cleaned up.** Removed an outdated "Google account" reference, switched the deduction estimate to count only business miles (not personal), and dropped a marketing claim that wasn't defensible. - **Lock Screen context band lights up.** When you've driven today and start a new shift, the Lock Screen Live Activity now shows TODAY's total miles, distance to the next mileage milestone, and (for shift workers) today's earnings tally. Swift code was in 1.2.0 but the data layer wasn't piping it through. - **Beta · Sandbox banner on in-progress features.** The MTD ITSA and Open Banking screens now wear an honest "this is still in sandbox" marker so it's clear what's production-ready versus pre-launch. - **Work & Tax shortcut in the avatar dropdown.** No more Profile -> Settings -> Work & Tax. One tap from any screen.

Big update covering everything since 1.1.1. Two new features for drivers with extra income or non-platform freelance work, plus reliability and polish throughout. Tax estimates that reflect your real bracket - New "Other annual income" setting (Profile > Work settings). Enter the pre-tax income from your main job, pension, rental etc. and the dashboard tax estimate jumps to your real marginal bracket. If you've got a £50k main job, your gig profit now correctly shows the higher-rate set-aside instead of guessing basic rate. Leave it blank and nothing changes. Freelance / private gig trip tag - New platform tag for trips that aren't food delivery or rideshare. Photography, consultancy, private bookings, anything self-employed but not on a gig platform - tag it as Freelance instead of having to fall back to "Other". For employees who claim mileage from work - Custom rates in Settings. Set the pence-per-mile your employer pays you (and an optional after-10,000-miles tier). Every total in the app now reflects your actual claim, not the HMRC default. Helpful if your employer pays 40p, 35p, 30p or any other rate, because your tax exports will match what you submit on your P87 or self-assessment. Auto-trip detection - Detection now waits until you're properly driving before showing the Live Activity. No more "0 mi" notifications firing when you're parked, walking past your car, or sitting at a junction with patchy GPS. - Drives that begin with slow residential streets now record from the actual departure point, not from when you join the main road. The first 15 minutes of your school run, depot pull-out or estate drive are no longer chopped off. - Driving past a saved location (a school, depot or shop you've saved) no longer ends your trip. The app now waits to see if you actually stop before deciding it's a real arrival, so a single drive through multiple saved spots stays as one continuous trip. - A new server-side watchdog finds and finalises any trip that ever gets stuck recording. You no longer need to open the app to wake up a recording that iOS suspended in the background. - Phantom walking trips (the rare 0.4-mile slow-pace ghosts that occasionally appeared after a long indoor walk) are now caught locally before they ever sync. Saved-location trips - Trips between two of your saved places (Home to Work, depot to home, etc) now sync to the cloud properly. A handful of users had local-only "Pending sync" trips that never reached the server. This update auto-recovers them on first launch. Faster, more polished feel - Six of the most-used screens now load with a skeleton placeholder instead of a generic spinner. The shape of the screen appears instantly while data fills in. - Dashboard cards animate in one after another as they load, instead of all-at-once. - The "End trip" button now requires a press-and-hold instead of a single tap, so an accidental bounce of your phone in the car cradle can't end a trip by mistake. - Subtle haptic and visual tick at every whole-mile mark while recording. - The Live Activity / Dynamic Island shows real distance and time the moment a recording starts. - Filter trips by platform (Uber, Deliveroo, Just Eat, Amazon Flex, DPD, Evri, Stuart, Gophr, Yodel, Freelance) alongside All / Inbox / Business / Personal. - "This tax year" and "Last tax year" date presets, lined up to the UK 6 April boundary. Smaller wins - Tighter copy across notifications and empty states. - The "items pending sync" banner is gone; pending counts moved into the trips list. - New shortcut in Profile to rate MileClear. The in-app rating prompt is calmer too. - Subscription plan switcher is more reliable on the Pro upgrade screen.

Reliability and recording fixes. This release is focused on making sure every trip you drive gets recorded and saved to your account, every time. - The Business Mileage card on the dashboard was stuck showing 0 miles for everyone, regardless of how many business trips you had classified. Fixed - it now displays your real monthly business mileage, and shows a clear error if data fails to load instead of silently rendering zero. - Phantom 0.1-mile trips that appeared while you were actively driving. iOS occasionally suspends background processing during long drives, and the recording engine was treating that suspension as "stopped driving" and saving a tiny zero-duration trip - while the Live Activity correctly continued tracking your real journey. Fixed at the source - the recording now actively verifies you have stopped before finalising a trip, and any tiny zero-duration trip that somehow gets through is dropped automatically. - "Trip not found" error when classifying a trip that had not finished syncing to the server yet. Fixed - the app now waits for a trip to reach the server before sending classification updates, and the sync queue self-heals so your classifications always apply once the create completes. No more silently lost classifications. - Sync queue could get stuck on a network blip until you restarted the app. The sync engine now retries automatically every 60 seconds and on every app foreground, so stuck items drain within a minute of conditions clearing. - Pull down on the trips list to flush any pending items and refresh. A discoverable single-gesture recovery if anything ever looks off with your trip count. - Marketing emails now have a working Unsubscribe link in the footer, replacing the previous "reply with unsubscribe" instruction. You can also manage email preferences from your web dashboard settings.

Biggest update since launch. Headlines: - Tax Readiness card. Live tax + NI estimate from your real numbers, weekly set-aside guidance, and a 31 January filing-deadline countdown. Free for all users. - Anonymous Benchmarking. New "How You Compare" card showing your weekly miles and trips against the median, p25 and p75 of all UK MileClear drivers. Privacy floor of 5 contributors per cell - never exposes individuals. - HMRC Reconciliation. Enter the figures HMRC has on file from each platform's Digital Platform Reporting and see the gap against MileClear's tracked total. - Activity Heatmap. 7 by 24 grid of when you actually drive and earn most over the last 12 weeks. Filter by platform; toggle trips vs earnings. - MOT and tax expiry reminders, plus full DVSA MOT History. Add a vehicle with a registration plate and MileClear refreshes DVLA data weekly. Tap "View MOT History" for advisories, defects, odometer growth. - Pickup wait timer. Tap "Wait at pickup" when you arrive at a restaurant or depot. Stopwatch survives app suspension. - First-time Self Assessment guide. Plain-English walkthrough covering UTR registration, the UK tax year, what you actually pay, and the AMAP deduction. - HMRC attestation cover sheet on the Self Assessment PDF (Pro). Signed declaration page with contemporaneous-record language. - Higher-rate threshold warning. If your projected profit gets within £15,000 of the £50,270 higher-rate band, the dashboard tells you exactly how far away you are. - Earnings adoption nudge. If you are tracking trips but have not logged earnings, the Tax Readiness card surfaces a one-tap shortcut. - Business Mileage card on the work dashboard. Big month total with prev/next chevrons to navigate to past months. No more digging through the trips list to add up March's claim. - Now built for employees too. UK employees who drive their personal car for work (managers, sales reps, healthcare visiting staff, field engineers) can set their employer's per-mile rate and see what is owed, plus the Mileage Allowance Relief gap they can claim from HMRC. - Drag-handle controls in Customize Layout. Show, hide and reorder cards across the Work dashboard, Personal dashboard, Profile and the avatar menu. - Auto-trip Live Activity opt-out. New toggle in Profile > Notifications. When off, the lock-screen indicator only appears when you tap Start Trip / Start Shift yourself. - Lock-screen Delete on the "Trip recorded" notification. Bin a trip you did not want recorded without opening the app. - Trip distance now consistent between the trips list and trip detail screens. The OSRM auto-recalc no longer overwrites the saved GPS-summed distance for multi-stop trips. - Smart location-permission recovery. Tapping "Auto-detection is off" actually triggers the right iOS prompt instead of stranding you on a Settings page with no Location row. - Tap the MileClear logo from any tab to jump back to the dashboard. - Background-fetch trip recovery. iOS wakes the app every ~15 minutes to finalise any auto-trip that got stranded mid-park. - Sync queue accuracy. The pending-sync badge now reflects what will actually retry; long batches surface "Syncing 3 of 12..." progress. - Auto-trip false-positive hardening. Tighter speed-source validation and a saved-location radius bump kill GPS-drift phantom trips at home.

Biggest update since launch. Highlights: - Self Assessment wizard - step-by-step guide that maps your MileClear data to the actual HMRC SA103 form boxes, with full income tax and National Insurance breakdown. - Accountant Portal - invite your accountant by email to a read-only dashboard with your trips, expenses and earnings. They can download CSV and PDF exports without needing a MileClear account. - Receipt scanning - point your camera at a parking ticket, fuel receipt or toll. MileClear extracts the amount, date and vendor automatically. Runs entirely on your phone, your images never leave the device. - Siri Shortcuts - "Hey Siri, start my shift", "How many miles today?", "Log expense", "Weekly goal progress". Hands-free while driving. - Active Recording screen - reachable from the Live Activity, the Dynamic Island, the persistent notification or a new amber banner on the dashboard. You always know when MileClear is recording, even if iOS quietly drops the Live Activity. - More accurate trip distances. We filter out GPS noise and snap routes to actual roads using OpenStreetMap. Roughly 5-10% better accuracy on winding country lanes, and a clean polyline on the map instead of jagged jumps. - Auto-detection no longer triggers when you're parked at a saved location. Setting Home, Work, or your depot now blocks the false "you started driving" notification when GPS drift makes you briefly look like you are moving indoors. - Change your password from inside the app or on the web dashboard, no reset email required. - Stuck-recording watchdog - if iOS stops delivering location updates mid-trip, a repeating timer detects and saves the trip instead of leaving it stuck. - Apple In-App Purchase webhooks now process subscription events correctly across both Sandbox and Production environments. - Many smaller fixes and reliability improvements.

• Self Assessment Wizard: A step-by-step guide that maps your MileClear data to HMRC SA103 form boxes. It shows exactly which numbers go in which boxes and provides a full income tax and National Insurance breakdown. You can download a ready-to-file PDF at the end. • Accountant Sharing: Invite your accountant by email to a read-only dashboard showing your trips, mileage deductions, expenses, and earnings. They can download CSV and PDF exports without needing a MileClear account. • Receipt Scanning: Point your camera at a parking ticket, toll receipt, or fuel receipt, and it automatically extracts the amount, date, and vendor. On-device processing means your photos never leave your phone. • Siri Shortcuts: “Hey Siri, start my shift,” “How many miles today?”, “Log expense,” and “Weekly goal progress.” These shortcuts work hands-free while driving. IMPROVED: • Clearer location permission flow during onboarding. If you decline “Always” access, a new card explains the auto-detection costs and deep-links you straight to the right iOS Settings page. Live Activity Improvements: - Live Activity duration now accurately reflects your real drive time, not the time since you started the trip. - When you classify a trip from the Trip Complete screen, the Live Activity updates immediately, eliminating the need to classify it again. Bug Fixes: - A rare bug that could cause trip data to be lost when ending a long shift has been fixed. GPS coordinates are now preserved until trips are confirmed saved. - Apple In-App Purchase webhook verification has been improved, ensuring that subscription activations that were previously silently failing now process correctly. - If iOS stops delivering location updates during a trip, a new watchdog detects the issue within 3 minutes and saves the trip instead of leaving it stuck indefinitely. - Duplicate push notifications (morning briefings and post-drive alerts) that some users were receiving have been deduplicated per device. We appreciate the contributions of everyone on TestFlight and in the Facebook group for reporting issues. Please keep them coming.

v1.0.7 focuses on the Live Activity end-trip flow. Tapping End Trip on the lock screen now actually ends the trip and shows you a proper summary, the way it should have from day one. Instant End Trip from the lock screen On iOS 17.2 and newer, tapping End Trip on the Live Activity flips the widget to "Saving trip..." instantly, with no wait for the app to launch. This uses Apple's new interactive Live Activity buttons so the response is immediate. On older iOS versions the button still works, it just takes a couple of seconds longer. New Trip Complete view Once the trip is saved, the Live Activity transitions to a proper Trip Complete summary on your lock screen. You see a checkmark, your final distance in MileClear amber, and your total duration frozen at the end time (shown as HH:MM:SS for trips over an hour). If the trip was not auto-classified, there is a one-tap Classify Trip button right on the lock screen. The summary stays visible for up to 5 minutes before iOS dismisses it. Faster trips in your inbox Trip finalisation used to run reverse geocoding, classification, and road-data lookups one after the other. They now run in parallel, so auto-classified trips land in your inbox seconds after you finish driving instead of after a noticeable delay. Runaway timer fix Fixed a rare bug where the Trip In Progress screen could show wildly wrong elapsed times like "5369:16" on a fresh drive. The underlying cause was stale GPS data from a crashed previous session bleeding into new trips. Your timer now always starts from the moment you actually set off. Cleaner trip starts New trips now clear any leftover GPS breadcrumbs from previous crashed sessions before they begin recording. Distance and start location are always accurate to the current trip, not a mixture of old and new data. Dynamic Island updates The Dynamic Island now shows a checkmark icon when a trip is complete, and the frozen duration displays correctly in the compact pill for longer trips. If you spot anything odd, please send feedback from Profile > Feedback. v1.0.6 added internal diagnostics that help us pin down exactly what happened, so the more you report, the faster we can fix things.

v1.0.6 focuses on auto trip accuracy after feedback that some distances were short and occasional trips were not starting. More accurate distances Auto-detected trips now cross-check your GPS path against UK road data, fixing the small undercount that made winding routes and country lanes read 5-10% short. Your HMRC mileage claims should now match what is on your odometer. Reliable trip starts Leaving home, work, or any saved location now begins recording from the moment you drive off instead of a few hundred metres later. If you step straight onto a motorway, the first highway reading is enough to start recording. No more waiting for confirmation. Better cold-start GPS The app now trusts your first location fix when leaving a garage or shaded driveway, even if accuracy is still settling. Fewer missed starts on early morning drives. Faster permission recovery If location permission gets downgraded, the app now reminds you every 4 hours instead of once per day, so trips do not silently stop recording. Trip Complete screen Long trips over an hour now display as HH:MM:SS instead of a runaway minute counter. Internal diagnostics Added event logging for auto-trip detection so remaining edge cases can be investigated properly. If you spot a trip that is missing or wrong, please send feedback from the Profile screen.

Smarter trip detection: multi-stop journeys (fuel stops, school drop-offs, drive-throughs) now record as one continuous trip instead of splitting into fragments. The stop timeout is more forgiving and GPS drift no longer creates phantom mini-trips. New feedback system: see admin replies on your suggestions, check Known Issues to see what we're fixing, and tap "Me too" on bugs that affect you. Tapping the driving notification now opens your live trip map showing the full route. Live Activity timer no longer resets when switching apps. Trip filter switching is now instant and accurate.

We hear you! You can now see admin replies directly on your feedback, and there’s a new Known Issues section so you always know what we’re working on. Simply tap “Me too” to let us know if a bug affects you. Trip filters now switch instantly between Business, Personal, and Inbox views, eliminating any mix-ups. Under the hood, tapping the driving notification now opens your live trip map immediately, displaying your entire route from the moment we detected you driving. Similarly, tapping the Live Activity icon on the lock screen now correctly opens the app.

MileClear now auto-classifies your trips using your saved locations, work schedule, and driving patterns. Simply classify a route three times, and it learns it permanently. You can also classify trips without opening the app using the Lock screen Business/Personal buttons. Unclassified trips are grouped by route for one-tap batch classification. The redesigned Live Activity now features bolder numbers, a branded look, and End Trip/Not Driving action buttons. Trip finalisation is also faster after parking, and navigation-grade GPS accuracy ensures accurate location tracking.

Smart Trip Classification: Trips near your saved work or depot locations are now automatically tagged as business. Platform tags are suggested based on your history at each location. Shift Grades: Shift grades now factor in fuel and wear costs, so your A-F grades reflect real profit instead of gross earnings. Running HMRC Tax Deduction: Your running HMRC tax deduction is now shown prominently on the work dashboard for all users. New Help & Support: A new Help & Support section has been added to your profile, providing direct email support. Error messages now include a Contact Support button. Behind the scenes: The app logs events, and daily admin briefing emails are sent. Automatic error alerting is also in place.
