Auto Miles: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/auto-miles-automatic-mileage/id817598888?ls=1&mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/auto-miles-automatic-mileage... It's an automatic mileage logger for iOS I've been hacking away at part time for a few months. I wrote it because I constantly forget to log my tax deductible trips, and at the time couldn't find anything that worked well without requiring me to do a few minutes of work after every drive. This week (mostly today, really) I've been working on custom tax system support for international users since a bunch of users are looking for it, plus a bunch of minor bug fixes (ugh): https://i.imgur.com/sXec0dm.png https://i.imgur.com/sXec0dm.png https://i.imgur.com/7330lr3.png https://i.imgur.com/7330lr3.png As an aside, I would kill for iOS to have a static maps API like Google does. MKMapViews are way too resource intensive to have multiple on screen at a time like Auto Miles needs, and I found MKMapSnapshotter to be really finicky and still use too much memory.

Awesome, thank you! As an aside, searching in the app store with "automiles" doesn't bring up the app. I've been using 'Moves' to track contracting hours. In that vein, would be great if you could add hour tracking, e.g. for the time spent at a client location.

  Huh, thanks for pointing that out! May have to add the misspelled name into the keywords for the next version (iTunes keywords are a PITA: they're limited to 100 characters, and can't be edited between versions). What do you mean by hour tracking? Like time-sheets functionality (which seems a bit out of the scope), or something simple you could type in how long you spent at the location? I've been considering adding a notes option for logs, which might work for something like that.

    Right now I will look up how long I've spent at a client location to prepare the timesheet for billing. If the app, like Moves, knew where 'work' is, it could do this automagically. Could be out of scope depending on perspective, but for me it would be killing two birds with one stone.
