Description
Driving ride share for Uber or another company? Use this FREE app to find out how much money you REALLY make from your driving business.
Turn on iDrive as you start every shift. Use the app to create the tax records you need to claim tax deductible expenses.
Using the rate or a Vehicle Log Book approach? Simply turn iDrive on and off as you drive each shift. The app tracks actual Total Shift Mileage—about double partner-reported fare mileage—ready to use at tax time. It's easy.
Itemizing expenses? Add fuel and all business-related expenses—with a picture of each receipt—to create tax records. iDrive uses entered odometer readings to calculate Business Use % of your car, ready to use at tax time. It's simple.
Want to better understand your business and make more money? Actively manage your driving strategy. Add shift targets, fares, and view the results. See any patterns? What can you change? Where, when, and how you drive affect your profit! You're a pro.
Because iDrive is developed by rideshare drivers, this app is more than a tax recordkeeping tool. Additional features include:

Ratings and Reviews
Update took away what I liked and what I used.
It would have been 5 stars but the update took the screen at the beginning away. It’s harder to find to see what I have done for the week, year, and what happened to my mileage I’ve logged since January? I can’t find that.
White text font white background … is absolutely not intuitive or user friendly
Why someone would create an app designed for entering info then make the font white on a white background is beyond stupid, not only can I not see what I’m typing it won’t matter anyway because it can’t be read. I saw one time where I could enter my vehicles miles at purchase but I didn’t do it and now I guess that is no longer an option so tracking total miles since purchase is off the table. Finding things in this app is beyond frustrating. And watching the how too only makes it more frustrating. It seems like it could be good if more time was spent in development and testing me as for the others they see mere carbon copies with different names idk why there’s a need for any of the others just name this one for all of ‘‘em and be done with it
Don’t count on this app!!
Keep your info in some other form because if you rely on this app, there’s no guarantee that it’ll be available when you go back to it. I took a break today for several hours between drives and was going back in to add a tip I had gotten between the shifts and all of my information that I entered this morning was gone! It also doesn’t do a very good job of figuring your gas mileage, so definitely keep your information somewhere else! The app also tends to close randomly so it’s not very stable. I guess you get what you pay for, but I’m so glad I was just test driving this app, so to speak, and not counting on it to hold onto my information.
Developer Response ,
You are right to be concerned, but your data is not lost When you take a break (longer than 1/2 hour), the app starts a second shift. Your original data is still there, you just did not look for it. This is so you can track you $/hr better. You can edit anything about your first shift anytime up until you start the second. You can't edit shifts while in.a shift. Please go back and look. You will see your data.
