[APP]DriverDiary v1.7.1 - UPDATED 06-27-11

Hi XDA faithful! We have just updated DriverDiary to version 1.7.1 adding some minor bug fixes. We have also released a new website as well as Facebook and Twitter pages. Check them out and be sure to follow us and share with your friends!

http://www.sweypro.com

DriverDiary tracks fuel mileage, expenses and parts. The free version offers many features and is not limited like most other free vehicle tracking apps. It is ad supported and it does lack a couple features from the pro version, but is otherwise fully functional.

The Pro, paid, version adds the ability to take and store pictures of your fuel and service receipts, schedule automatic backups and is the first app available that allows you to sync your data between a server and multiple devices.

Very good application, but I live in Brazil and want to use the units in my language.

Is possible to Internationalize?

Because I think another people likes to use in others units.

My units are: Km instead Miles, Liters instead Gallons.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Thank you for trying it out. You can change the units in the settings menu.
Menu -> Settings -> Unit of Measure

You can select km/L and DriverDiary will change the calculation and the text throughout the app to Km and L.

We are also working on localizing the app to other languages.

And another think is to create new Gas Station, I fill up in a BR gas station.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

You can create new gas stations from the menu also.
Menu -> More -> Stations

Here you can add/edit/delete stations.

You can also clear all the stations from the table and start fresh since you are in another country and won't use the US stations that are pre-populated. You can do that from the following menu option and just select to clear the data from the stations table.
Menu -> Data Tools -> Reset Data

No problem, you spoke very well.

Thanks for trying out DriverDiary and let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions. We are always wanting to improve the app and rely heavily on user suggestions.

Nice app! Have installed it and will try it out over the next few weeks.

One thing I'd love is a service due reminder. I do my own servicing, and it would be handy to be able to specify a time/mileage when an oil change/service is due and have the app remind you...just a suggestion

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Hi.

Thank you for trying it out and for the suggestion. We are in the process of adding service reminders and they will be available soon. Please let me know if you have any more questions or suggestions as you are trying it out.

Thanks,
Ed

I just saw this on the home page and haven't pulled it down yet, but I have a query:

When I record fill-up information I make sure to get the following bits of data:

Price per Gallon (from the receipt)
Total gallons on this fill up (from the receipt)
Total engine 'on' time spent since last fill up (from the car's trip computer)
Total mileage achieved since last fill up (from the car's trip computer)

Those four pieces of information let me calculate, among other things:

Average Miles per Gallon
Average Engine Time per Gallon
Total Engine Active Time

The time information is useful if you use your car infrequently and lets you more accurately determine when you need to go on for oil and fluid changes.

Is this type of data entry included?

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Hi.

Thank you for your interest and question.

At this time DriverDiary does not allow for engine/running time entry. This does seem like a cool feature to be able to track how long your engine runs for and other data based off of that. We will put it in the queue and add it in a future update.

Thank you for the wonderful suggestion!

Thanks,
Ed

Thanks everyone for all the support. A new update has been pushed out.

Thanks,
Ed

DriverDiary has been updated to version 1.6.0 adding automatic backup to the pro version and several bug fixes. Please check out the OP for changes and please try it out.

Thanks,
Ed

i just wanted to stop in and say, I've been using this app over the last week, and it is most excellent. great job to the dev for a unique app that provides a function i didn't realize was so useful.

i want to upgrade to the paid version to support you, but my question is... when i do this, will my fuel logs carry over to the paid version, or am i at risk of losing all my stored info?

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

I'm glad its working out good for you. We love to hear that. Upgrading to the pro will retain all of your entered info. Nothing will be lost.

Thanks again,
Ed

Just updated to version 1.7.0 and released our new website. See OP for more info!
