Where GoTime - Teen Driving Log wins
The phone does the logging. Tap “Start Driving” and GoTime tracks driving time and distance by GPS, then marks the session as day or night from sunset and sunrise data. Since July 2026 a running drive also shows on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Road44’s listing never mentions GPS: distance comes from odometer readings or a trip distance you enter, and each drive carries a day or night flag.
One log for the whole family. Each teen gets a profile with separate progress, session history and supervisor access, and the listing promises unlimited family members. The log syncs across phones so any supervisor can log from their own device, and a drive in progress syncs in real time. Road44 records a supervisor’s name on each drive and keeps drives on your device, but its listing does not mention multiple drivers.
Bringing an old log over is built in. GoTime imports an existing driving log from a PDF, and since August 2026 that works with a log from any app. Its release notes also describe tracking progress toward your state’s required hours. Road44’s listing does not mention importing a log.
It costs nothing, and more people have rated it. GoTime has no in-app purchases on the App Store or Google Play, and its description promises “Complete feature access” with “No subscriptions required.” It holds 4.9 from 142 US App Store ratings, against Road44’s 5.0 from 10. Its listing also says its reports are “accepted by DMVs in all 50 states”. That claim comes from the developer. Road44’s listing makes no DMV claim.
Where Road44 wins
It logs money as well as hours. Road44 records earnings, tips, expenses and fuel on each drive, with odometer readings and a trip purpose: business, personal, commute or medical. You choose hours, distance, earnings or trips as the main measure and can switch any time. GoTime’s listing mentions no money fields, odometer readings or vehicles.
Each practice drive holds more detail. Road44 logs the skills practiced, including parallel parking, lane changes, highway entry and three-point turns, along with five road types and six weather options, parking lots and ice included. You can add or edit any past drive on a form where every field is optional. GoTime records road type, weather, the supervisor and notes, but its listing does not mention skills or a form for past drives.
Your drives stay on your phone, with no account and no ads. Road44 needs no account, and its listing says your drives stay on your device. Its privacy label declares no data used to track you and lists Purchases, Identifiers, Usage Data and Diagnostics as not linked to you. GoTime’s label lists Location, Contact Info, User Content, Identifiers and Usage Data as linked to you. To be fair, its listing says logs are encrypted end-to-end and location information is never sold. Its App Store age rating also says it contains advertising.

Which one should you pick?
Pick GoTime - Teen Driving Log if you are a parent logging a teen’s supervised hours and want GPS to fill in time and distance, with day or night marked automatically.

Pick Road44 if you want a detailed log you fill in yourself, with skills, road types and weather on every drive, past drives added by hand, and your drives kept on your phone with no account and no ads. If you drive for money, it is also the only one of the two whose listing mentions earnings, tips, expenses and fuel.
