Google Play“I've been using Total Drive for the last 2-3 years but I have found the app to be too dependent on the internet. The driving instructor app is packed with awesome features similar to Total Drive but without the heavy reliance on the internet... Overall very happy and I'll be transitioning all of my students across to this app.”
