Driving Instructor Manager vs LessonBuddy

Driving Instructor Manager is an Android and iOS app for handling the day-to-day records and coordination of driving lessons. Instructors can manage bookings, see statistics, record lesson outcomes and skills development, and produce progress reports. Bookings sync with the instructor’s calendar, while centralized student records hold contact details and lesson history. Before scheduled lessons, the app can send students SMS and push notifications; instructors can customize the timing and message text. The maker says data is backed up to cloud servers and synchronized across devices, and that the app supports UK DVSA requirements for progress tracking and lesson records. School administration is included, but theory lessons and practice tests are not. The privacy policy describes encryption in transit and at rest, authentication, access controls, security updates, and secure server infrastructure. Core features are free at free, though the maker says premium features may be introduced later. Instructors can delete accounts, which also permanently removes associated student records and lesson data.
