PITA

This app may require Bluetooth or it may not. Still haven’t figured out how to use it in my older toyota tacoma, which doesn’t have Bluetooth. As far as i know this app is the only way to get the HOV discount on TexExpress.

As for privacy, who knows? I see GoCarma’s policy on their website, but i have no idea what the companies that contract with gocarma do with the data.

Finally, the whole concept of building TexExpress lanes instead of just adding lanes to the freeway is ridiculous. But Texas…

Terrible App!

Terrible App, more pain than it is worth. Very non user friendly, especially if you have multiple vehicles.

Always on

This is always on and tracks location even when nowhere near toll road and no way to not do this and still get the discount

The app keeps reverting back to one driver while we are driving along the same route.

We have to constantly keep opening the app and constantly tell it that we are writing together because it keeps reverting back to a single driver. That is very dangerous to keep doing while driving on the freeway.

Don’t recommend

Such a hassle. Their system is terrible & so is customer service. I asked for passenger pucks for my child and an elderly family member 3 months ago and haven’t received.
