Customer Reviews
People, get a clue before review....
For those of you who think its cumbersome to enter actual odometer readings and think you dont need it in an IRS edit, you are clueless. Good luck with that since your mileage means SQUAT without having your starting and stopping odometer readings....you think the IRS takes your "reported final mileage" at face value?? think again, without your start and stop readings, you are S.O.L.
Developers pay no attention (as I know you will knowing the facts) to those who request taking out odometer readings...they obviously have never had to run a business. good app. keep up the great work.
Almost perfect
This really is an outstanding mileage tracking application. It's easy to use, beautifully designed, and minimizes the amount of information you need to enter each time you use it. But it is missing a couple of points, which might be important to some people:
There is no ability to set kilometers instead of miles. While this isn't a big deal, because you can just interpret the "miles" to be km, it is annoying for those outside the USA.
You can't edit the IRS mileage "value." Different countries have different amounts that they can claim for mileage, and employers often use a different value amount than the IRS does. When compounded with the fact that the mileage is shown in miles rather than kilometers, this makes the "value" amount shown rather useless for a lot of people.
It really needs a "Personal" category in addition to business, charity and medical. People who are self employed and using their personal vehicle can choose the "percentage of total miles" tax approach rather than just business miles. Under this system, the tax department needs to see total miles with your business miles to calculate a percentage. Without a "Personal" category this becomes awkward.
The only other issue is that the developer has no feedback or support information on his website, so it is impossible to contact him, even for feature requests. It would be nice if there was information on the site for support contact.
The best mileage app
This 1.5 update is simply great. I have tried almost every mileage app in the app store, and Milebug has been my favourite since the start: no clutter, clean UI, a good balance between basic functionality and configurability, flexible unit settings so usable in Europa, smooth export to Excel and Numbers, never crashes (VERY important for an app like this).
There were a few things on my wish list and with this update all of that has been taken care of. So with this update MileBug has come to full maturity. Many thanx to the developer, who's been working on improvements at a steady pace.
