New Features

The developers have been busy adding a host of new features to this version which we have listed below. Users have requested many of these features via email or our facebook page.

 

Version 2.70 (uploaded February 2, 2017)

Fixed error in 7/14/28 Day counting – app was not calculating correctly on rare occasions when users had ‘old counting 7/14/28 Day periods’ switched to OFF.

 

Version 2.65 (uploaded November 28, 2016)

Fixed error calculating 14 day totals – app was not breaching sometimes when counting hours for a 14 day period with ‘old counting 7/14/28’ day period was turned OFF.

 

Version 2.60 (uploaded October 30, 2016)

Fixed Driver Stats issue when counting long/night hours – app was showing incorrect totals for long/night hours in Driver Statistics when ‘old counting 7/14/28’ day period was turned OFF.

Check boxes for user details not showing on some devices – fixed issue where ‘old counting’ checkboxes were not showing for user details on some smaller devices

 

Version 2.55 (uploaded October 10, 2016)

Minor bug fixes introduced in last version – issues with Google Drive and extending subscriptions fixed.

 

Version 2.50 (uploaded October 4, 2016)

Old counting option for 7/14/28 Day periods (except WA rules) – the last update changed the counting calculation for 7/14/28 day periods to begin from the end of a 24hr (or greater) break. Whereas we have had advice from the NHVR in regards to this change we are not confident that law enforcers will be as up to date with this change.

We have introduced a switch in user details (Vehicles > Drivers List >Tap on your name in the list) so you can choose for Logbook Checker to calculate the old way (count forward from the end of any major break – turn switch to ON which will be the default) or the new way (count forward from the end of a 24hr or longer break – turn switch OFF).

Driver Statistics has hours to be released – if you have the above switch turned to ON (old counting for 7/14/28 day period) you will get hours to be released tomorrow, 3 day and 6 days again.

For those with the switch turned to OFF (count forward from end of 24hr break for 7/14/28 day period) it will now tell you hours left for current 14 day counting period, hours to be released at end of this period and when the next counting period ends.

Emailing range of work diary sheets no longer crashes – app would crash when emailing range of work diary sheets particularly for those driving 2up.

Find closest town using GPS fixed – finding closest town using GPS wasn’t working on devices with Android 6.

 

Version 2.40 (uploaded September 9, 2016)

New 7/14/28 Day calculation – the courts and NHVR have clarified the meaning of ‘relevant major break’ to be a 24 hour break when counting work/rest hours for a 7/14/28 day period when driving using Standard Hours, BFM and/or Standard bus. The app now calculates forward from a 24 hour break (or greater) when counting work/rest hours for a 7/14/28 day period.

Delete/Edit button added – you can now delete a logsheet/log entry/ vehicle and/or 2up driver using the delete button (trash) at the bottom of the screen when editing such an entry. You can also edit a logsheet by tapping on the edit icon (pencil) next to the relevant logsheet in the logsheet list view.

 

Version 2.30 (uploaded June 13, 2016)

New initial screen – when you start the app for the first time it now lets you select between starting a new diary, downloading an existing diary from iCloud or restoring an existing backup on iCloud.

Renew subscription lockout time reduced – if you have issues renewing your subscription you only have to wait 2 hours now before trying again rather than a full day.

Show Breaches on Driver Work Diary - drivers can now show breaches when viewing/emailing/printing their Driver Work Diary sheets.
