What Parents Are Saying

We were using a crumpled paper log from the DMV and kept losing track. DashLog made it painless — I can see my daughter's progress on my phone anytime.

Parent of a 16-year-old, California

The night hour tracking is a lifesaver. We didn't realize we were behind on nighttime hours until DashLog showed us. We would have been scrambling at the DMV.

David R.

Parent of a 15-year-old, Texas

My son actually looks forward to driving practice now because of the badges. He's going for the "Mission Complete" badge and it keeps him motivated.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many supervised driving hours does my teen need?

Most states require 40–60 hours of supervised driving practice. Kansas requires 50 hours (10 at night), Missouri requires 40 hours (10 at night), California requires 50 hours (10 at night), Texas requires 30 hours (10 at night), and Florida requires 50 hours (10 at night). Check your state's GDL requirements for exact numbers.

What is the best app to track teen driving hours?

DashLog is a teen driving log app that tracks supervised driving hours, logs day and night sessions, includes state-specific knowledge quizzes, and gives parents live location tracking during drives. Available on the iOS App Store.

Do I need to keep a log of my teen's driving practice?

Yes. Most states require parents to certify that their teen completed the required supervised hours before taking the driving test. Keeping a detailed log with dates, times, and driving conditions is strongly recommended. DashLog automatically tracks every session.

How does DashLog work for parents?

Parents download DashLog, create a family account, and invite their teen. When your teen is driving, you can track their live location, log sessions together, and receive arrival/departure alerts at saved places like school or work.

Is DashLog free?

DashLog is free to download and use. DashLog Premium is available as an optional subscription with a 7-day free trial, then $4.99/month or $39.99/year.

What is a Graduated Driver License (GDL)?

A Graduated Driver License (GDL) is a system used by all 50 states that phases in driving privileges over time. Teens progress through three stages: learner's permit (supervised driving only), provisional license (independent driving with restrictions), and full license (unrestricted). GDL programs reduce teen fatal crashes by up to 40%.

Does DashLog track nighttime driving hours separately?

Yes. DashLog automatically detects whether each drive is during daytime or nighttime based on your location and local sunset/sunrise times. Your dashboard shows both total hours and nighttime hours separately, mapped against your state's specific requirements.

Can both parents use DashLog to log driving hours?

Yes. DashLog supports family accounts where both parents (or any licensed adult supervisor) can log driving sessions for the same teen. All sessions are combined in one progress dashboard, so co-parents do not need to coordinate on paper.

Does DashLog work in my state?

DashLog supports all 50 U.S. states with state-specific GDL requirements, including total hours, nighttime hours, and permit holding periods. Select your state during setup and DashLog configures your progress goals automatically.

Can my teen use DashLog too?

Yes. Teens have their own DashLog account within the family. They can see their progress, earn badges for milestones (first drive, 10-hour club, halfway there), and stay motivated with streaks and achievements.

How does the live location feature work?

When a driving session is active, parents can see their teen's real-time location on a map. DashLog also supports saved places (school, work, home) with arrival and departure alerts. Location is only tracked during active driving sessions, not 24/7.

Can DashLog generate a report for the DMV?

Yes. When your teen is ready for the road test, DashLog generates a professional, print-ready driving log report that documents every supervised session with dates, start/end times, duration, and day/night classification. You can print it or share it digitally.

What devices does DashLog support?

DashLog is available on the iOS App Store. Android support is coming soon. The app works on iPhone and iPad and requires iOS 16 or later.

How is DashLog different from Life360?

Life360 is a general family safety app focused on location sharing. DashLog is purpose-built for teen driving practice — it tracks supervised hours against your state's GDL requirements, auto-detects day vs. night driving, generates DMV-ready reports, and includes driving-specific features like skill tags and badges. DashLog complements Life360 rather than replacing it.
