Answers to common questions about Cruse Control
Cruse Control is a driving-hours tracker that helps learner-permit holders log supervised driving sessions. You can track total time, night-driving time, and bad-weather time, all against your state's permit requirements.
From the home screen, tap Start to begin a session. Choose your supervisor (Mom, Dad, Other, or a name you've used before). The timer runs in the background — you can lock your phone or switch apps and time will continue to be counted. Tap Pause if you stop driving for a break, then Resume when you continue. When the drive is finished, tap Save to log the session.
Tap Add Drive on the history screen. Enter the date, duration, supervisor, and any condition tags (night, weather), then save. The session will be added to your log.
On the drive history screen, tap any session to open the edit view. From there you can change the duration, supervisor, conditions, or delete the session entirely. Deletions cannot be undone, but you can re-add a drive manually if needed.
Night driving is tracked with a separate timer that you start by tapping the Night button. You can tap it before you start the main session (it will queue up and begin counting once the drive starts), or any time during the drive once it gets dark. Tap it again to stop the night timer without ending the overall session. Night minutes are saved alongside the session and count toward your state's separate night-driving requirement.
You can also adjust night minutes manually when adding or editing a session.
Weather driving is tracked with a separate timer that you start by tapping the Rain/Snow button. You can tap it before you start the main session (it will queue up and begin counting once the drive starts), or any time during the drive when the weather turns bad. Tap it again to stop the weather timer without ending the overall session. Weather minutes are saved alongside the session and count toward your state's bad-weather driving requirement (where applicable).
You can also adjust weather minutes manually when adding or editing a session.
Tap the state name on the progress dashboard. You'll see a list of US states — choose yours and the app will update to show that state's permit hour requirements. You can change this at any time without affecting your logged sessions.
