The Queensland learner logbook app is a paperless way to record trips, send them to your supervisor for approval and submit your completed logbook to the Department of Transport and Main Roads for final assessment.
Make sure you submit your logbook at least 12 business days before your driving test. You can't take your test until we have approved your logbook.
Getting the app
You can download the Queensland Learner Logbook app free from the App Store or Google Play. If you can't find the app, try upgrading your device's operating system or using a newer device.
Download the app to your own device or to a trusted device that you can regularly access. If someone else will be using the device, log out so that no one else can see or change your trip data.
Help getting the app
If you log in on a new device with your email address and password, all of your synced data will be transferred automatically.
You can check the Summary screen to see when your data was last synced—before changing devices, it's a good idea to manually sync your data by tapping the sync icon to make sure that any recent trips, vehicles and supervisors are included.
Any trips, vehicles or supervisors that were deleted won't be transferred across. If you need them on the new device, you will have to create them again.

When your device is connected to the internet, any changes you make in the app will be synced to our servers and saved securely. If you're offline, you can still use your logbook—the changes will be synced the next time you're connected to the internet with the app open.
If you've taken a trip while your device is offline, approval emails won't be sent to your supervisor until your app's data has been synced to our servers.
When you open the app, the first screen you'll see is the Summary screen.
The screen shows the:
driving hours for trips that have been approved by your supervisor, both as a total and broken down into day and night hours
number of trips you've logged in the app
number of trips that you've submitted but have not been approved by your supervisor
number of supervisors and vehicles you've added to the app
last time your data was synced.
You can add a new trip, vehicle or supervisor to the app by tapping the plus icon at the top right of the screen or the green plus button at the bottom right of the screen.
Data syncing
Syncing happens when:
you perform certain activities in the app, such as adding a trip and
you are connected to the internet.
You can also tap the sync icon in the top right corner to manually sync your data.
You will need to enter details for at least 1 supervisor before you can add a trip.
After you record a trip, your supervisor will be sent an email with the trip details, either immediately or the next time your app is connected to the internet. If the supervisor approves the trip, it will be added to your driving hours.
Add a supervisor
You can add a supervisor by tapping the plus sign on the Summary screen or the Supervisor screen.
To add a supervisor, you will need their:
first and last name
driver licence number
email address (this must be different to the learner driver's email address)
phone number.
You will also need to indicate whether they are a driver trainer.
Once you've added a supervisor, you can tap the star next to their name to set them as a favourite—this means they will be selected automatically when you create a new trip.
Driver trainers
If you take a trip with a driver trainer, you'll get 3 hours towards your total for every hour of your trip. You can do this for up to 10 hours to get 30 hours towards your total. If you take a trip with a driver trainer at night, you can choose either to have the trip count as triple hours or as night hours, not both.
When you add a driver trainer as a supervisor, make sure to tap the Is this supervisor a driver trainer? toggle and enter the name of their driving school. The app will automatically add the extra time for trips with this supervisor until you've reached the limit.
Update or delete a supervisor

Night trips
Any driving time between sunset and sunrise can count towards your night driving requirement.
Sunset and sunrise times vary based on time of year, location and time zone.
Within the app, a night time travel toggle will appear if any part of your trip was between 4.35pm and 7.55am.
If you drove at night, you can turn on the toggle and record how much of the trip happened at night. When the trip is approved, that part of your trip will be counted towards your night driving requirement.
Note: If you make a false or misleading logbook entry by incorrectly claiming all or part of a trip as night time driving, you may be fined and not allowed to take your practical test until 6 weeks after your resubmitted logbook is approved.
If you take a trip at night with a driver trainer, it can either be counted as triple time or night hours, not both. You can turn off the night time travel toggle to get your triple credit. For example, if you take a trip with a driver trainer between 7pm and 8pm, you can choose for the trip to be counted as either 3 hours of daytime driving or 1 hour of night driving. You can claim triple time for up to 10 hours of trips with a driver trainer to get 30 hours towards your total.

Help with trips
Your logbook should automatically sync when you are connected to the internet with the app open.
Your summary screen shows the last time your data was synced.
To sync your data manually, you can:
tap the sync button in the top right corner of most screens
close and restart the app
log out of the app and log back in
Error messages may include:
The odometer is greater than the value of future trip
Another trip already exists for this odometer reading
The start odometer is equal to the end odometer reading
The odometer is not consistent with the values used in another trip
When you add a trip, the app compares the start and end odometer readings to trips you've already added for the same vehicle.
If you try to add a trip with a start odometer reading that's lower than the end odometer reading of a trip you took earlier, you will get an error message.
To fix the issue, you will need to check the time, date and odometer readings for your current and previous trips to find the mistake. A common cause of this issue is adding an extra digit (such as entering 100000 instead of 10000).
Example: You add a trip you took today and enter a start odometer reading of 5100 and an end odometer reading of 5200.
You then add a trip you took yesterday in the same vehicle and enter a start odometer reading of 5125 and an end reading of 5130.
The start odometer reading for today's trip can't be lower than the end reading for yesterday's trip, so you need to check the details for these trips.
The first 10 hours of trips you take with a driver trainer are counted as triple time (for example, a 1 hour trip will be counted as 3 hours). However, a trip counted as triple time can't be counted towards your night driving requirement, so you will need to choose how you want the trip time to be counted:
If you want the trip to be counted as triple time,don't choose the night time travel option—this will give you triple time but won't increase your night time driving total.
If you want the trip to be counted as night driving, choose the night time travel option—this will increase your overall driving time and your night time driving totals by the length of your trip.
You can update your personal details on the Profile page.
Your licence number and date of birth won't be visible, but they are stored in the app and can be changed here if you made a mistake entering them.
Update your email address
If you change your email address, a validation code will be sent to the new address. You will need to enter the code into the app before you can use the new address.
Change your password
You can use the icon in the top right corner of the Profile screen to change your password when you're logged into the app.
Export trip data
Tap the icon in the top right corner of the Profile screen and choose the Email my progress option to request an email summary of your logbook hours.
After you've entered your password, we will email the address you used to register for the logbook app. The email will have your licence number in the subject line and will contain 2 PDF attachments:
an overview document that has details of you, your supervisors and the number of minutes you've logged (approved trips only)
a trip details document with a table containing information about every approved trip you've logged.
You may be able to use these documents as proof of driving experience in another state or country—check with local officials for requirements.
Change your target hours
If you need to change the target hours in the app from the standard 100 hours including 10 night hours, tap the icon in the top right corner of the Profile screen.
You can change your hours if:
you have partially completed a paper logbook (you will still need to submit the physical logbook separately)
you've already submitted your logbook and we've told you that you need to complete additional hours—we will tell you what to enter in each field.
You will need to give a reason for the change and enter the new target hours.
If you've submitted your logbook already, you may need to tap the Unlock logbook option in the Profile menu before you can change your hours.
You will see the Submit logbook button once you have reached your new target hours.
Tap the icon in the top right corner of the Profile screen and choose Change hours.
If you've submitted your logbook already, you may need to choose the Unlock logbook option from this menu first.

the first option allows you to add the extra hours you'll need to complete before the Submit logbook button appears (for example if you enter 8 hours your new target will be 108 hours)
the second and third options ask you to change the total hours you'll need to complete before the Submit button appears (for example if you enter 54 hour your new target will be 54 hours).
The Summary screen will show your new target hours, and a note will be displayed showing that your hours have been changed.

the second and third options ask you to change the total hours you’ll need to complete before the Submit logbook button appears (for example if you enter 54 hours your new target will be 54 hours).
The Summary screen will reflect your new target hours, and a note will be displayed showing that your hours have been changed.
Once you've completed your required hours, a Submit logbook button will appear on your Summary screen—tap the button to begin the submission process. Submitting your logbook doesn't mean you have to take your driving test right away, so even if you're not ready for your test there's no reason to delay submitting.
Make sure you submit your logbook at least 12 business days before your driving test. You can't take your test until we have approved your logbook.
We'll ask you to confirm your mobile number so we can send you an SMS once we've finished reviewing your logbook. We'll either tell you that your logbook has been approved or let you know what you have to do next.
Before you submit you will have to read a disclaimer and confirm that all of the information you've entered is true.
