Steadymile / Reliability

Reliability

We road-test it, and publish the numbers.

Automatic tracking is the whole product. So before launch we test it on real roads and publish what we find, whatever it is.

How the test works

  1. About fifty real drives over up to three weeks: short hops, highway runs, stop-and-go, parking garages.
  2. Three different iPhones, newer and older, in normal daily use.
  3. Every drive checked against the car's odometer and the clock: did Steadymile catch it, and how close were the miles and times?
  4. Battery measured on days with one to two hours of driving.

The bar to launch

  • At least 97% of drives captured with no taps
  • Distance within 3% of the odometer
  • Start and end times within 2 minutes
  • Under 5% battery a day

If it doesn't clear the bar, it doesn't launch. That's the rule we set before the first drive.

Results

The road test is running now. Results, drive by drive, appear on this page before launch.

Why we watch our own tracking

No phone app catches 100% of drives: iOS can pause background apps, settings get changed, phones restart. What matters is knowing right away. Steadymile alerts you the moment its tracking is interrupted, with a one-tap fix, so a gap is minutes long, not a month.

Coming soon to iPhone

Start the new tax year with a log that keeps up.

Free to track every drive. Reports $24.99 a year, and that price never rises. Or $79.99 once as a Founder, until April 15, 2027.
