Gridwise: Gig-Driver Assistant 4+

The Self Employed’s Dream App!!!

I have an accounting certification but even with that I still dread keeping track of my self employed income, mileage, expenses, etc for taxes. It’s a huge headache even for someone who completely understands what they need to do. This app syncs all of your gigs information into one app and I tested it against another similar app of its kind and this one is spot on! Also the biggest plus to me are being able to export PDF files for FREE of your income, mileage, and expenses in whatever time frame you want. It makes everything so simple. ALSO This is the ONLY app whose mileage tracker DOESN’T slow my phone down!! 🙌 You also can manually add in information as well if you forget to turn on the mileage tracker. But it’s so spot on the only info I’ve had to add was the mileage one Gig app doesn’t keep track of itself to import over to this app. I LOVE being able to see a summary of all these different metrics of each app and the totals for them all combined. It seems so simple. Almost as if you are looking at a simple paystub which is exactly how easy I was hoping this app would be! This has saved me sooo much stress!

Love the app BUT

The app is super convenient tracks ur miles lets you add ur expenses it’s like a dairy for driving. Just swipe start tracking & ur good for the day. It will even ask you if u have finished ur shift incase you forget to stop tracking. There are a few little issues that bug me & can confuse someone. You can sink whatever apps your working with like shipt door dash instacart etc.. it gives you the option of manually putting in how much you make for the day or like I said U can sink ur accounts. But when u sink ur accounts it sometimes doesn’t work like it signs me out of my shipt account all the time & I have to log back in. Same with door dash etc. it can be confusing because if it doesn’t automatically put ur earnings in so you do it & then all of a sudden they do it too. So it’s like double the earnings. That’s not good for keeping up with taxes. So I just say don’t link the accounts just manually put ur earnings & expenses in yourself. But its definitely a good app. Even comes with rewards. Check it out.

Gridwise for rideshare driver and gas user

Paying for the pro subscription has primarily allowed me to track accurate mileage when driving for ride share services. This comes in handy at tax time to ensure I’m within proper limits for deductions and accuracy with accounting and reporting.

Not only that, but it allows access to GasBuddy pro, which has periods of discounted gas prices across the city. I say periods because lately there hasn’t been as many deep discounts compared to the local Costco gas station, compared to a few months ago. If you already have a Costco/ Sam’s club membership for gas purposes, and aren’t ride share driving/driving long miles in various places without these club discount stores, you might not be able to justify the Gridwise pro subscription.

Solid app, works well, even reminds you when you start driving to track a shift if necessary. Plenty of other features as well. Great value being added. 🫶🏽
