Roundtrip Press Kit
Information
Description
Roundtrip is a digital logbook for NSW learner drivers that replaces the NSW paper logbook and makes recording practice incredibly easy and fun.
Roundtrip can automatically record practice time, location, weather and more so learner drivers can spend less time entering information and more time practising.
Learner drivers can also track their NSW learning goals, track bonus hours (e.g., 3-for-1 accredited instruction) and let TfNSW know they’re ready to sit their P’s driving test once they’ve completed the minimum logbook requirements.
Roundtrip was one of the winning app pitches of the NSW Learner Driver Logbook Innovation Challenge.
History
Eat More Pixels were one of the winners of the NSW Learner Driver Logbook Innovation Challenge in Oct 2016. We entered an incubation phase with Roads and Maritime Services and launched the app in September 2017. During the incubation phase we also completed the Startup School Online by Y Combinator for the Roundtrip app.
Eat More Pixels has a history of building innovative apps for learner drivers. Dr Zac Fitz-Walter, one of the co-founders of Eat More Pixels, created a gamified logbook app for his PhD to look at how game elements could learner drivers to undertake diverse driving practice and lead to safer drivers.
Roundtrip is the next evolution of this app.
