Ratings and reviews

app definitely needs some work. when you first log in it demands you select a vehicle before you do anything else. you have to press a few buttons to decline doing so just so that you can go on duty. if you do select a vehicle, it goes straight to the dvir afterwards, still without giving the option to go on duty. you have to force stop on the app if you sign out for the day, otherwise it will send you shift notifications all night long, even if you log off. those are my biggest gripes.

It's handy, but it sometimes changes status on me when I'm sitting still. I've lost a few breaks to it randomly moving me into driving status while I was parked. I don't know why it does it. It doesn't happen often, but I still wish it wouldn't do it ever. Was just minutes from my break being over today when it did it and I lost about 26 minutes to my break having to be restarted. I can't even fix it on the logs when it does so, due to it being set to GPS. I was hoping to get to Atlanta by one.

I like the app but the one problem I have is when I go to go off duty, it stays in Drive time. Sometimes I have to literally run to use the bathroom, the app shouldn't make me stop and go through another selection about whether I want to sign out or not. Just change my status and be done with it. If I want to log out, I'll do that separately. I wasted almost an hour of on duty time before I realized what was happening. Very inconvenient.
