Driver Card Reader - application for reading a driver's card

To read and download the data of your tachograph driver card, perhaps to view information related to the flight, or for more in-depth analysis, there is an application known as Driver card reader.

It is very easy to use and allows anyone to connect their tachograph card to their Android smartphone. This is how it works and everything you need to know about it.

What is it and what is it for

As expected, the app is only compatible with Android smartphones at the moment, but the iPhone version is expected to be rolled out by December next year, the developers said.

It's not free, costs 5,99 euros, but who wants to try, know that he can download time-limited version (download link below) and use it for 33 days without any limitation, registration or obligation.

In short, as already reported, Driver Card Reader is an application designed for drivers and carriers that allows you to read a digital tachograph driver card by connecting your smartphone to a USB card reader, thereby analyzing the relevant data.

How the driver card reader works

First of all I demand You need to use Driver Card Reader, and there are two of them: a USB card reader and a smartphone that is compatible with the OTG connection standard (for example, to check if your phone is compatible, just download the USB OTG Checker app from the Google Play store).

After your driver card is connected or not, the app will show youinterface very intuitive, also translated into Italian and divided into two main sections: one for reading the map and storing the data on the device (or sending it by email), and an archive where you can view the information you downloaded earlier.

At the bottom there is a page reserved for settings that allows you to access a wide range of options through which personalize everything: from time of work to export to PDF and Excel, going by the colors of the graphs and the type of reading.

In addition, to dispel any doubts, by touching the icon with three vertical dots in the upper right corner, you can access a section reserved for frequently asked questions regarding various aspects of the service.
