About myCarpool
myCarpool is the perfect application for managing a group of people who wish to regularly travel together in the same car (carpool), for example when traveling to and from the workplace.
It keeps track of all the journeys made and by which driver, to automatically answer the big question:
« who will be the driver for the next trip? ».
You can also keep track of your carpooling activity with financial and environmental statistics, such as the number of kilometers you have saved, and how much CO2 or petrol you’ve economized.
Thanks to the Planning feature, you will be able to declare events on specific dates, like someone in your carpool group is absent, needs to drive or cannot drive.
When the date occurs, these events will then automatically appear in the main interface.
And because « planet saving » can be tried everywhere, myCarpool is also available in the following languages: French and simplified Chinese.
Stand-alone mode...
------------------------------------------------------------
myCarpool can be used by only one of the carpool group, in which case this person can manage his/her own group members.
If you choose to enter your members telephone numbers, they will automatically receive a text message (SMS) when you make an update, for example when creating a new trip.
... and secure Connected mode
------------------------------------------------------------
myCarpool can also be used in Connected mode!
If several people in the same group use myCarpool, they will always be connected. Anyone can create a trip, create an event, modify the group characteristics, update his/her own information, in each case, the other group members will be automatically notified.
To ensure the confidentiality of your personal information, myCarpool does not use a central database to synchronize information between all members applications. myCarpool applications simply communicate directly with each other using SMS messages.
So each group can be sure that their information is only known the group members.
Important: To use connected mode, you should ensure that your subscription includes unlimited SMS texting.
You can disconnect your myCarpool application from your group members at any time (to stop receiving SMS notifications). This is recommended when travelling abroad, where text messages may include a surcharge.
Always synchronized
Connecting for the first time to your group, or reconnecting after a new application download (handset renewal) is easy.
myCarpool will automatically synchronize itself with your chosen group, downloading seamlessly the group characteristics, current driver scores and all statistics.
Trip history is stored locally on your handset in an SQLite database. Thousands of trips can be stored with instant access to all information.

A great idea. One problem: It immediately crashes when opened on my Nexus 5x with Android 6.0.1. When this will be fixed, I will raise the rating a little. Will be even greater (and I will give 5 stars then), if it will handle more complex situations: 1. People who share more than one pool. e.g. Bill and Susan work only some of the days, so they can share pool with all the group on days they work, and should be expected to drive less often accordingly. Harry and Mary have the same working hours on Wed. and Fri., but different working hours on other days, so they can share the general pool on Wednesday and Friday, but will be calculated for their own pool on other days. 2. Different car sizes. e.g. Joe and Pat have a compact car so they can take only 3 + 1. Jim and Sue on the other hand have a SUV so they can take 6 + 1. All others can take 4 passengers + a driver. So in some cases one driver can take all the pool, and on other days more drivers are required. 3. A case where parents are driving their kids to school or other activities, so some kids may have more than one driver, and some drivers may have more than one kid. Turns should be decided by the kid only.

Was looking for something similar. Looking forward for two additions. 1. Would be great if whatsapp can be used for communication. 2. Trip dates is exportable to csv to do some manual analysis.

Perfect app for us. We are a group of people who know each other and want to drive to work alternatively. Looking for a similar app on iphone, but could not find one from hundreds of carpool apps.

The only app of this kind. No huge social network, just a bunch of friends who want to share their car and commuting time. I wish it could use WhatsApp as communication channel.

An application to manage a group that is regularly commuting to work. There is no equivalent in the Google Play. Thanks to the GreenSoftwareTeam

The instruction set in the download for my Android phone (HTC PG06100) doesn't match the actual screens that I am seeing. The instructions talk about Connected Status, Standalone Mode, Connected Mode, SMS Notification Status. "If you do not want your application to send SMS messages, check that both Connected Status and SMS Notification Status are off".....I don't see a screen where this change can be made. I do see in the page, "Manage the carpool group", where I can select "Visible" and/or "Active". Do either of these two selections tie out to the Connected or SMS Notification status? For now, I am rating this a 3 star, but hope that I get answers that can help me move it up to 5 stars.

Awesome app and exactly fulfills our needs. We are bunch of guys driving to the same office destination and as always the question arises 'who is driving?'. The app uses the point system as not always all of us is driving together. There are days some have vacation or is sick and the app takes care of that. NOTE: If the app crashes on startup it is because it does not have proper permissions set. It crashed for me on my Nexus 5X, Android 7.1.1. and I had to manually grant permissions for SMS and Local storage. It should ask me for this permissions on while installing application, but it didn't.
