Ratings and reviews

Motus logs me out every few days, even though the option to stay logged in is checked. I have to skip the app info every time I log in, even though it has a check box stating to not show again. It somehow puts stops in the wrong order a lot, and misses stops at times. It has a database missing a lot of addresses, so if you have to add any stops manually because of aforementioned issues, it won't let you because the address is not in the database, even though the address has existed for years.

11/8: now the GPS doesn't work either. Clocks me out of my entire country....useless. Required by my employer. App hasn't worked since day 1 but now I can't even get in. Full bars and it tells me I have no service. Can't edit trips. Doesn't accurately track mileage. Eats at your battery life. Inaccutately records stops.

If you like having power on your phone you're not going to like this app. I have used both the Android and iPhone versions, and I have yet to find an app that soaks up battery power like a dry sponge as much is this app does. Downloading the latest version is meaningless. With the app in use, and making calls, I get about five hours with a full charge (and that is also while charging the phone at every opportunity I get). With the app disabled or removed, the same phone battery lasts all day.
