Ratings and reviews

I have been using this app for a few years now and find it to be a very useful tool. However, it is not just the pure utility that I enjoy. I have 3 members of staff using Tripcatcher to record their mileage expenses and whenever any queries are raised directly with customer support, they have been very responsive and helpful. Definitely recommend.

It looked like this app would be great, but after my first trip was successfully logged it now won't allow me to select the address from the drop down list. Unusable. Very disappointed.

Doesn't work on Pixel 6. I was told by the developer that a new version would be released in January to fix this issue. Still waiting for the fix, and until then it's unusable to me so I have to wait until I get home and input my trips via the computer.

What's new

Updated to fix a pesky intermittent bug when displaying routes.
