MyRideTrac tells me to close apps because of low memory

Android Help, General RideShare, iOS Help

Both Android and iOS manage the active applications in memory. Even if you have a 128Gb phone, not all of it is allocated to actively running programs. Most of it is used to store programs and their data BUT NOT RUN THEM. When your active program memory starts to run low, the operating system (Android/iOS) starts to put applications into hibernation - essentially shutting them down. It starts with background apps because they are... well... running in the background. When a tracking app gets put into hibernation, it stops tracking you! We were frustrated with the other tracking apps missing trips... and it was because they were put to sleep by the operating system! MyRideTrac gives you a choice to close apps before the operating system does. That…

Do I Need to Swipe Right or Left at the End of the Day?

General RideShare

NOPE. You can hit the RIDER button when you start your day and you are done. If you like to track your empty miles, you can hit the RIDER / NORIDER buttons during the day to tag your miles. But... because you are doing this while you are driving (it takes a second to do) (see video here) - there is no work to do when you get home, unless you consider opening that soft drink or beer work!

Is Anyone Trying to Sell you Something

General RideShare

NOPE with MyRideTrac. There are some who are offering free apps. They are pretty good, but... nothing is for free. They may be selling your tracking data or rating you for insurance purposes (Health or Auto), or trying to sell you something else. MyRideTrac runs on your phone, backs your data up to your Google Drive or iCloud and sends emails to you or whomever you choose. No tracking. Eventually, a coupon may find its way to you, but that is because it will BENEFIT YOU... e.g. SAVE YOU MORE BUCKS/DINERO/PESOS/EUROS whatever your favorite currency. So... beware those "free" apps.
