How to Move Your RoadReady Driving Hours Without Losing Them (2026)

If you're looking for a RoadReady alternative because the app is spinning, crashing, or throwing error 500, the hours themselves are the part that matters. Most states will not take “the app broke” as a substitute for a supervised driving log.

RoadReady stores your log on their servers. When login or save fails, the hours may still exist — you just can't get to them. The move is: capture whatever record you still have, then put it in an app that can export a printable PDF in every state. That's DMV Driving Hours Log, on iOS and Android.

If you can still open RoadReady, do this first

Before you delete the app or try another reinstall, grab a copy of the log. A screenshot of each screen of hours is enough. A PDF or CSV export is better. Email it to yourself so it isn't trapped on one phone.

If you can't export, photograph the session list, totals, and any night-hour breakdown. That is enough for us to rebuild the log.

How to switch to DMV Driving Hours Log

1. Download the app on iOS or Android and create an account.
2. Set the driver's state so hour targets (supervised, night, permit-hold) match what you're working toward. See requirements by state.
3. Add supervisors — the licensed adult who rides along. Exports include those names.
4. Bring the old hours over yourself with Add past drive, or send us the export and we'll enter them for free.

Two ways to move the hours

Enter them yourself. In the app, use Add past drive (from Logs) for each session: date, start and end time, supervisor, and night or weather flags if you have them. Twenty sessions is usually about 15 minutes.

Or send the export and we'll do it. Email a RoadReady PDF, CSV, or screenshots to support@dmvdrivinglog.com. Include the email address on the DMV Driving Hours Log account. The import is free and usually done in less than a day.

A full permit log needs Pro(a one-time $19.99 purchase). The free plan caps recorded practice at 2 hours, so we can't load 40–50 hours onto a free account. The transfer itself still has no extra fee.

If you can't open RoadReady at all

Send whatever you still have. An old email with a PDF, a photo of a paper backup, or a list of dates from a calendar is enough to start. We'll enter every session the record supports and tell you what's missing so you can fill gaps with Add past drive.

Don't wait until the week of the road test to reconstruct months of practice from memory. Start with what you can prove, then keep logging new drives in DMV Driving Hours Log.

Why the hours are safer here

• Printable PDF export in every state — a record you can hand in, not a generic affidavit
• Night hours from real sunset at your location, not a fixed clock time
• Works on iOS and Android, so parents and teens don't all need iPhones
• Supervisor recorded on every drive so the log matches who was in the car
