The way the app communicates with pupils means I don’t have to juggle different numbers or emails. Everything is managed by the app. I love that you can offer pupils a gap in your day to be filled, and I also love the ability to broadcast messages to the pupils you select.

Pros Having everything up front and visible to both learners and instructors avoids the 'I didnt realise I had a lesson / no shows' Its a one stop shop providing Diary Management, Reminders of lessons, Payment features , Progress tracking and reflective logs. Cons There really isnt much to dislike about the software. Many of the features I would like added have been communicated to the developers and they have or are implementing them.

Pros Total drive is an instructor specific app that provides great management tools, constantly improving and very responsive. Pupils love the dedicated app with all of their relevant information and instructors have an easy to use tool to keep track of their pupils Cons More options for pupil payments would be good as there is currently only one provider and payments are sometimes slow to come through.

Approachable developers in considering and making valuable updates. As a multi car school I needed a system where I could be more efficient for our instructors. The whole system provides everything both the instructors and pupils need. It’s easy to use and has so many additional benefits rolled into a very reasonable monthly fee. I love that I can customise it to suit our school. Parents like the transparency of records in one place. So pleased for them to have got recognised in the Intelligent Instructor Awards. Well done to you all🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Pros Customizable progress record and reflective log Dashboard for each instructor Ease of admin to manage instructors diaries Cons Pupils are not able to visibly confirm seen and accepted lesson by the instructor Edited lesson times are not sent as a notification without cancelling Could be linked to give pupils Anytime Success 4-in-1 app too perhaps for a small fee? I note MyDriveTime do this too. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

It has made life so much easier. We have been using TD for over 2 years now and we wouldn't ever consider being without it. Pros Where do I start?! Progress chart so a learner can see how close they are getting to be at test standard; lesson reminders automatically sent out; reflective log for learners to complete - this is a really powerful tool for goal setting. And last, but certainly not least, the superb support we get from the developers. They are so responsive to the ideas that are submitted. This app has truly revolutionised how we work and made it so easy to adminster not only my own diary but to oversee what is happening with all our instructors. Cons One aspect I would like to see improved is the ability to message everyone on our waiting list so that we can keep them updated with one message rather than having to message them all individually.

Pros I have used Total Drive since the beginning and it is amazing. Constantly updated to keep up with requests from the users. It delivers what is important! Works extremely well and is very reliable. I have tried a competitors app and to be honest, I don't think anything could ever be as good as Total Drive. I rely on Total Drive to help me manage my business, and my students all love using the app as well - I have never heard anyone say a bad word. Cons I have not got anything negative to say - at all!

I have recommended it to others. The only minor issue I have is that in some areas I am not able to get online and need to remember to check their progress records while I have a signal. Pros I love the pupil progress record and the reflective log. The lesson reminder system is great. Cons I do use the online payment system but I do discourage it. The stripe payments seem to take a while to reach my account especially if a weekend is involved. I pay for something which doesn't save me much time. I prefer my pupils to pay by bank transfer.
