User Reviews for Stride: Mileage & Tax Tracker

Necessary App

This app is just like any other expense tracking app. It works. It’s great. I’ve been using it for years. The only isssue is that when tax season comes along. My deductions are clustered into 1 big amount. I can’t see how many miles I have to traveled that I ca use to deduct from my taxes, on the amount of money I saved from tracking those miles. Furthers more when I add supply and food expenses that also gets combined into the grand total of how much money I save. It doesn’t separate the different categories of deductions that I’ve made. It groups it all together and there is no way for me to see exactly how much money I’ve saved from Miles alone and how much money I’ve saved from supplies food etc. because when my accountant asks how many miles I’ve driven I can’t give an exact answer when they ask how much money you’ve spent on supplies I can’t give an exact answer because the grand total is clustered into one giant number of how much money I’ve saved. So this app needs to organize itself in the way that when people choose a category for deductions he can separate it so the user can identify specifically how much miles I’ve driven how much they’ve save from those total miles and from other categories how much money they spent on supplies how much money they can save based off those deductions they can make to just make it easier for when tax season comes around.

Keep the ads in the app, please

I installed this after a recommended mileage tracking app failed to work. This one seems designed for rideshare drivers, shoppers, and free-lancers, not company employees. The interface is busy with links to health insurance for the self-employed. All of this is fine, though, and I didn’t mind being quizzed during setup about whether I have health, dental, and vision insurance. (Already got it, thanks.) I finished setup and closed the app. But then Stride started spamming me from the background with notifications that do nothing but shill for insurance products. Look, I already told Stride I’m not in the market, so (insert swearing here). I have enough trouble staying focused without this nonsense. We’ll just have to see how well the mileage tracking works without an immediate reminder notification. I’ve demoted Stride notifications to “daily summary” status. And if the daily summaries contain Stride insurance ads, I’m deleting the app.

It’s decent. Great AI

Excellent easy to use tracker. The ai fills in the route very well unlike gridwise, which draws a straight line during loss of data connection. Mileage tracking is spot on due to this feature. Downsides. Why so cellular reliant when going through and adding? We have enough data parasites. Has to connect to see map images and again to open map image. Resets to current date after adding missed mileage during later dates. The blue is a little bright with the white letters for me. Options would be great. Seem to recently have a issue with the app stopping tracking. I have an xr and may be accidentally hitting the “stop tracking” while cycling through apps. A better location of that would also be great. Thanks for the accurate tracking otherwise. HAVE YOU CONSIDERED A VERIFY BUTTON TO STOP TRACKING? This thing of arriving home to find the app has stopped tracking for whatever reason is getting old and Stride will be removed like Gridwise. If it really this difficult for so called educated people to produce a quality mileage tracker? Id call my college demanding a refund! Seriously if I have to babysit another junk app I might as well do it without a tracker. Keep writing your pathetic No Responsibility policies cause it’s all you got

Location setting draining battery

Leaving the location setting to always on drains the phone battery way too much to make this app worthwhile for me. It would be helpful to have a widget with buttons to start and stop tracking miles so you don’t have to open to app to do that. Because even with the reminder from the app you still have to open the app and then press the plus sign and then press track miles. It’s not safe if the reminder only happens when you start to drive away from your home. So having a widget would make tracking easier and safer. And then it wouldn’t be absolutely necessary to leave the location setting to always on either if the track miles function was more readily accessible. Ultimately a more functional Apple Watch integration would be ideal but in the mean time I feel this would suffice as helpful update. Thank you for making this app free and I’ve found it helpful for tracking expenses. This is the only main issue I found that brings my rating of the app down.

CAUTION DO NOT USE, APP IS FAULTY!

The app erases mileage. On numerous occasions it shows mileage and money saved using the app then a few hours later shows a completely different amount that was less than what was shown a few hours before! It also logs imaginary mileage after I end my session and completely shut down the app by double tapping the home button and swiping up on the app. When I go to use the app the next day, it shows that it is tracking mileage, even though the night before I stopped tracking and properly shut the app down. It's like I have a magic iPhone that leaves my bedside table and turns the app on on its own and takes a journey. Apparently my iPhone can fly like Peter Pan because the map shows straight lines like it doesn't follow roads. Beware of this app. Especially if using it for tax purposes. If it can't even do the basic task of tracking mileage correctly, would you use stride for any other services they provide? Hey stride, how about getting the 1 thing down first before offering other services like finding health insurance! The only thing this app Strides for is failure!

Good, needs to improve data export

I’ve been using the app to track rideshare miles driven and I am happy with what it does so far. However, lots more room for improvement in exporting data. The current generated reports contain unneeded labels in numeric data. For example, the text “mi” in the export of miles or a dollar sign in currency columns. This may be ok for a text report but causes problems in .csv file exports. The fields with the extraneous labels have to be modified to get to raw numbers that can be modified or used in calculations. The header row is where the labels belong, never in a numeric data field. Also, I’d really like to be able to export data for a specific date range so I can periodically update whatever external spreadsheet or database I am working with. Right now, the only option is for all data of a given year. It’s a nuisance to export the whole year’s data to get the last week or month of data. Two more additions. Please add the TIME spent driving to the mileage data report. I really want to get a report on time driving. Maybe even some stats on when. Finally, create a report that will let me export the data for each log file as a row of CSV file data. Give me the choice of exporting as one row per file, one row per day, per week, month or quarter. Finally, include the number of miles and hours driven in the weekly deduction email along with their dollar value.

Easiest app to use for mileage and expenses

I really like Stride compared to the other apps out there. It tracks mileage well and instantly calculates your profit. I like the fact you can categorize by jobs, add photos of receipts, and other expenses all in one place. I would be willing to pay for a premium version. I’d like to see auto detect motion start and stop, similar to MileageIQ. That should be an option to turn on and off as desired, since sometimes I forget to turn it on. My biggest complaint however, is it is not easy to search for added expenses and update or make modifications. There are 2 columns “Deductions and Income”. If I need to search for the expense I have to scroll the entire list looking for it. I should be able to search “dash cam” for example and find every expense associated for that category. II’ll add to my review as I think of more improvements the developers can add.

Not bad has some issues

After a year of use now, while I’m driving the app keeps closing unbeknownst and to me. By the time I have to switch from GPS to look at other stuff when I click on the Stride app it has closedown so the history of my driving and keeping track of my exact miles, it just draws a straight line for the last place it said I was at and to where I’m currently at now.So I’ve been using this app for about a year and a half now. For the past four months it’s been shutting down on its own. It’s open but running in the background as I’m using maps in the foreground. I’ll occasionally click on Stride as I’m driving and it’ll be reopening and not accurately tracking my miles. It’ll have a random line going straight from the point when I shut down to the point I reopened it (by reopening it I mean clicking on the app that’s already open to check my miles to find out they close down while it was open). So it’s a little frustrating, it’s about 65 to 75% accurate. It’s a a good program overall but unless you continuously switch between the apps, this app randomly closes down if you will, but it’s still open just not accurately tracking your miles.

Love the app. Its FREE

I have tried number of other mile-tracker apps some weren't FREE. This one is FREE. It doesn't ask for money at all. No ads except life insurance. Even the life insurance window doesn't bother you at all. This app (in my opinion) is very close to perfect. Missing only 2 things.1st. As an Uber driver I want to be able to track my miles to deduct. So far this app does the job very well. No complaining about that. But I want to be able to track my maintenance/insurance/gas expenses too. At the end of a year I want to be able to see both result and get the most tax deduction.This option would make the app PERFECT for a driver like me.2nd. When I was trying number of mile tracker apps one future seemed very useful. Its mile log. If I could, I’d want to set a reminder that would ask me every morning (there can be more options to set the days you work/drive, everyday or Monday through Friday or select the days you work) if I want to LOG my mileage of the car. This data can be used as 2 step verification (double checking) for tracking my miles more accurately. If these 2 features I mentioned were available within the app, I will definitely 100% change my 4star to 5star. I’d recommend this app to all my friends who drive for living.

Amazing End to End Driver Necessity

Overall I’ve been leveraging this for quite some time. I have familiarized myself with all services offered (Not to mention they continue to add more and more benefits) and I can’t express enough how wonderful it is. You have to use it for yourself to really understand the full capabilities but the bottom line is that it is enabling Drivers to finally receive respectable benefits (health, taxes, mileage, etc) that are competitive to what you would normally receive in more structured working environments. Check this app out ASAP if you are a driver (or gig worker), I rate it a 5 of 5. (Again, there’s always going to be areas that need enhancements or tweaks. But..... in my opinion this app is (by a long shot) way more superior than any other available alternative out there today.)A+++
