Questions about this idea
- Is Mileage tracking app issues a startup idea?
- Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
- How many people have this problem?
- 8 different people described it independently, in 8 mentions, the earliest from 10 May 2017 and the most recent from 19 Feb 2020. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: quiet — no new posts in the last 60 days. 0 people raised it in the last 30 days and 0 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.

Mile Logger's failure to record automatic trips leaves drivers stranded without any way to add missing miles by hand. We saw 8 people report that the app completely missed their drives after a full day on the road. How do you log your deductible miles on the go when your tracker stops recording trips?
