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.

Screen large text fixed – fixed formatting issues on Driver Statistics screen with large text
where some field labels were hidden and could not be read

you email/print your Driver Work Diary) or ‘hide breaches’ if you want to hide
them. If you email a range of sheets you can elect to send them with breaches
shown or hidden.
