Hurdlr Mileage, Expenses & Tax 4+

I found Hurdlr looking for a mileage tracking app. This is the the only App I found that allows you unlimited mileage in the free version! Other apps force you to pay after a certain number of miles or trips. Not Hurdlr! I also love how it auto tracks my mileage (without draining the battery) as tracking mileage was always something I was really bad at doing myself. Being able to keep track of my Income and expenses is also so helpful as I don't have steady income or expenses and I used to wait to do this at the end of the year out of laziness which was so stressful. I love how this app can help ANY small business owner or freelancer. I probably could have saved so much money in tax write offs had I been using this all along. Not only that but I no longer need to stress about adding up my expenses at the end of the year or wishing I had written down my mileage for each client! The customer service is also great! I love how they have a direct chat integrated into the app and definitely do what they can to help and make their customers happy. I wish I had this app years ago. Tax time won't be as stressful for me anymore!! Thank you Hurdlr for making my life easier!

Thanks for your positive review!

I have been using the app for a little over a month now. It has been a great help estimating my taxes for the year, tracking expenses, and tracking miles. I have two problems that prevent me from giving this app a 5-star rating. The first issue is that you can’t just turn on the tracking, you need to rely on the app being open and figuring out that you are moving. I’d say the app is about 95% reliable at doing this when it is open, and about 10% reliable at this task when closed. Typically I remember to open the app so its not a big deal…except when the app crashes in the background and I don’t notice. Having a dedicated on button would be really nice and the fact it doesn’t surprises me. My final issue with the app is its annoying incessant desire to always never be closed. I go in to check on my tax burden and move money in my budget and as soon as I close it I get an annoying pop-up and jingle. Folks, I’m not always working so seriously cut this feature out or make it so I can turn it off separate from other pop-ups. I like knowing when I need to identify payments as business/non-business, but the constant “open us back up for better tracking performance” is just obnoxious.

Hi there, thank you for your detailed review, we really appreciate the feedback. We're glad to hear that the app is helping you stay organized and estimate your taxes. We do offer semi-automatic tracking, which allows you to manually start/stop the tracker to only track certain trips. In regards to keeping the app open, we recommend this because, as you've seen, Apple is very strict about apps running in the background if they're not kept open and interacted with. If you're using the automatic mileage tracker, we'd recommend ensuring that you're always keeping the app open in the background so Apple doesn't kill the app from running when you need a trip tracked. Please reach out to us if you have any questions! Best, Lizzie @ Hurdlr

As an UBER driver I was recommended to keep track of my expenses and mileage most especially. When I started UBER a friend recommended Hurdlr not knowing of what I really had in my hands until tax day came around. I didn’t know how to use it very much throughout my first six months but I was always helped by the hurdlr Team within 15 minutes of messaging them to help on an area. They would walk me through every step to use the app as best for my purpose.
I tracked my miles as I drove, kept receipts saved by taking a picture and saving them in the app as well as my Cloud. When time came to do my taxes the app creates an Excel spreadsheet with different tabs of your expenses, mileage, separated by either Personal or Business. With the totals of amounts at the bottom very well detailed for your tax preparer or Hurdlr can also do your taxes for you.
I’ve been very happy to of been recommended this app to track my expenses and mileage and for the fee of 50$ and tax deductible it was worth every penny. The perfect app for taxes:) and your business Totally recommend it for you to aid in your Business!

Wow thanks for the review! We're really happy we were able to make your tax filing easier and less stressful. Thanks for being an awesome Hurdlr user.
