Quick answer
Teen Driving Log by NerdsGeeksGurus, LLC is a $1.99 iPhone app for logging a teen’s supervised driving hours, with a start/stop timer, driving conditions, skills practiced and a countdown to license day. It has been on the App Store since 2010, but it was last updated in June 2020. There is no iPad version and we found no Android version. It is also not the same app as GoTime - Teen Driving Log.
Road44 (Driving Hours Tracker & Logger on both stores) logs each drive live or after the fact, with a day or night flag, road types, weather, skills, supervisor and distance. It can count hours, distance, earnings or trips. It is free to download with optional Pro plans, but its listing does not say which features are free.
If you have an iPhone and want to pay $1.99 once for a simple teen practice log, pick Teen Driving Log. If you need Android or iPad, a PDF logbook, or an app that is still getting updates, pick Road44.

Where Teen Driving Log wins
One $1.99 purchase covers everything. Teen Driving Log costs $1.99 up front and sells nothing inside the app: no subscription, no in-app purchases, no Pro tier. The timer, conditions checklist, skills, countdown, progress graph, CSV export, backup and sharing all come with that download. Reviewers say it is worth the couple of dollars. Road44 is free to download but sells Pro at $2.99 a week or $29.99 a year, and its listing does not say which features are free.
A long track record with parents. It has been on the App Store since 2010 and has 4.3 stars from 160 ratings. Reviewers say it is easy to use, that adding or fixing a drive is simple when you forget to press start, and that they came back to it for a second child. Road44 arrived in 2026 and has 10 ratings.
Built for one job: a teen’s supervised hours. Its listing is about the practice time most states require before a license. It graphs the percentage of required hours done and counts down to license day. It can also share progress with friends and family by Messaging, Facebook or email. Reviewers praise how much detail each drive can hold, including conditions and skills practiced. Road44’s listing mentions neither a license-day countdown nor sharing.
A stated backup path and a Data Not Collected label. You can back up with the export function or save and restore to another device through iTunes sharing. Files app access to the backup came in May 2020, and a pop-up that reminds you to back up came in December 2016. Its privacy label reads Data Not Collected. Road44’s listing does not mention backup, and its label lists Purchases, Identifiers, Usage Data and Diagnostics as data not linked to you.
Where Road44 wins
It is still getting updates. Teen Driving Log’s last update was version 2.7.5 in June 2020, more than six years ago. Its listing still refers to “iTunes sharing” and “reviews posted in iTunes”. Road44 came out in 2026 and was updated in August 2026.
Android and iPad. Teen Driving Log is an iPhone app with no iPad version, and we found no Google Play listing for it. Road44 runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, so it works whichever phone the family uses.
A logbook you can print as a PDF. Teen Driving Log exports CSV files for a spreadsheet, plus a zip of its database. Its listing does not mention PDF or printing. Reviewers say they email the spreadsheet and print it for a driver’s ed teacher. Road44 exports Text, CSV, PDF or image files in a table or card layout, with no watermark. You pick the fields and the date range, with a live preview. Neither listing claims that a state or DMV accepts its log.
Distance and a supervisor field on every drive. Teen Driving Log’s listing does not name distance, supervisor or vehicle fields. Road44 records odometer or manual distance, the supervisor and the vehicle. Once the practice log is done, it can count distance, earnings or trips instead of hours.
