Based on the official DSA driver training syllabus, Records is the essential app for UK driving instructors wishing to have easily accessible and constantly up-to-date pupil progress and payment records.

Records helps you track each of your pupil's progress in 32 different driving topics (see below for a full list of the topics included). Store separate notes for each topic and email the full record to your pupil at any time with the touch of a button. With Records, it couldn't be simpler to keep your pupils constantly informed and up-to-date, making sure you both know what you've been doing and what you're about to do.

PLEASE NOTE: Some reviewers have expressed disappointment that this app does not store addresses and telephone numbers. To be clear: this app is not a contacts app and nowhere in the description does it claim that these features are included. Every iPhone and iPad comes with an excellent contracts app pre-installed. Records does not attempt to recreate the functionality of the pre-installed contacts app.

Records is a universal app for iPhone and iPad. It requires iOS 5.1 or higher.
