    The app does a pretty decent job overall, but I purchased this BECAUSE of the Skydrive integration and when it was changed to Dropbox for inexplicable reasons the app's usefulness to me dropped significantly. And it looks like others are upset about this too. I seriously would recommend the devs either change it back or give us the option to send it by email or something. Also the performance is horribly laggy lately. An app I once would've given a 4 star review to is now this. Shame ...

    Don't throw away your pen and log book. Unreliable. In last month and a half it has hung at the "Trips" screen three times. Once that happens, all subsequent attempts to open the app result in a hang at the "Trips" screen. The only way I've found to fix it is to uninstall and reinstall the app then restore my data from backup. I'm tired of losing trips because I didn't back up after each and every one! Time to look for an alternative. Glad I didn't buy this one!

    Good functionality but comically unusable with no help or instructions that I can find. For example to start a trip you have to hit add trip then scroll all the way to the last option to turn on the GPS and then hit save or it won't do anything. To stop a trip near ad I can tell you have to go back to the trip scroll all the way down again to turn off the GPS, add an end date, and hit save. At least I think that's how you do it because there isn't any instructions or guidance. Would it have been so hard to add a start trip and end trip button?

    First off, the app looks great. I've only been using the trial version, but I'd gladly pay the full price for the app BUT one thing is holding me back. You show that the app backs up to SkyDrive in your screenshots, but when I download the app it only offers to backup to Dropbox. Please fix this, as it looks like false advertising currently.

    Clean, easy to use, very organized.

    Dropbox? This is windows phone, where is the SkyDrive export? Can't even email reports. Wants to post private activity to Facebook. This app is just about useless.

    I would be MUCH happier with this app of it allowed me to backup to SkyDrive

    4 Stars for previous version with Skydrive backup--gps was a bit weird (would be 5 stars). 3 Stars (most recent update) with Dropbox backup--now it is slowed startup, faster to write down now--very difficult logging in to Dropbox. 20 minutes, finally backup files. Still, I like this app, will buy upgrade for Windows 8. Keep up the good work!

    This app was one of the key ones I used on iOS and am SO happy to find they made a Windows Phone app! I love everything about this app except I'd like to see a scheduled/auto backup feature implemented. I LOVE the fact that it syncs to SkyDrive (iOS only has email/local wifi options which are cumbersome methods IMO). With an auto backup feature I'd bump this up to 5 stars.

    Irritating that it wants to post deductions to Facebook. It's Math is questionable as well. Update; will not email report without dropbox acct. This is not an option. SkyDrive only allowed. Dev now made app useless to me.
