User-Friendly Information

While you can certainly figure out something such as your mpg on your own, the driveBlue app provides users with an automatic solution that doesn't require any effort on their part. While you're driving, the app will show a color that ranges from red to blue. The blue represents your vehicles estimated max mpg. It's a very simple and quick solution that once you start using you likely won't be able to do without it. You can go ahead and enter in your routes manually, record routes while you're actually driving on them, and add locations as you go. By entering in the route the app is able to provide you with not only the mpg but also with the distance, speed, and even an estimate of the trip cost.

The User Experience

As far as the user experience goes with the driveBlue app by entering in some other small details you can use this app as a record keeper. Each time you rotate the tires, change your oil, and fill up you can enter it in. The app then tracks this data so it can give you an estimate of when maintenance is service is due next. Keep in mind this is just an estimate that is really meant as a reminder more than anything else. Many of the tools are actually automated such as the fact that the distance and odometer is updated while you are driving. Users also have the ability to reset the distance at any point so if you are trying to track one trip in particular it is no problem. If you're using the information for work purposes you can export it via .csv format for your employer or your own personal records. You can export the maintenance records, the fuel, and/or routes.
