Presently when I open the app, it tries to open for 2 seconds, then closes down. I simply can’t get it to open on a newer iPad Mini 6. ### 2/5 — Works for 2 out of 5 *2025-07-15, version 4.1.0* On iPhone it’s almost impossible to keep it working ### 3/5 — Ko *2025-01-14, version 3.9.9* App is good but I hate that you can’t minus it down to look at the map or anything without it starts beeping then cuts off ### 4/5 — Does what is made for👍 *2023-12-17* Havent had any issues . Although Would expect it to improve its feedback on keypad speed. ### 4/5 — The app *2023-05-06, version 3.4.3* Tha app freezing but everything else is ok ### 2/5 — Problems *2023-04-28, version 3.4.3* The application is very inconvenient for the driver to use. iPhone 13 pro.Permanent disconnection from the equipment. Mobile Device Shut Down.If you are driving to of duty personal convenience and your Mobile Device is Shut Down , then when it suddenly reconnects , Drive starts recording and the status of duty is interrupted .This is a big problem.And the last 3-5 weeks after the update, the application has become very stuck. And you have to reinstall it, delete it and download it again. ### 1/5 — Terrible lags *2023-04-23, version 3.4.3* It keeps lagging and freezes and this all happened once after it made me update the app to use it ! Terrible ### 1/5 — The app is always buggy *2022-12-01, version 3.3.3* The app is always buggy ### 4/5 — Needs a split view or stage manager mode for iPad *2022-11-21* Please in future updates add split view or stage manager mode for iPads. Everything else looks fine. ### 1/5 — Is shutting down if you open another app *2022-11-04* After the last update the app itself is shutting down if you try to use another app. I use the gmaps at the same time, now after update i need to move to other eld provider ### 1/5 — Stay away *2022-04-23, version 3.2* This is the most useless and the the worst eld app ever. Doesn’t even deserve 1 star ### 1/5 — Trash *2021-08-03, version 2.5* Always freezing and disconnecting. I would rather use omnitracs than this garbage ### 1/5 — Driver *2021-02-28, version 2.2* This is the most expensive and the most useless ELD. Everything is against drivers. If you correct your mistakes you can’t transfer to DOT and you’ll get violations for ELD web service. Very sad to use this. Hopefully I will find better one. ### 1/5 — It's simple and VERY annoying. *2020-12-19, version 2.0* Require to keep your iPad ON all the time while driving.If not, frequently you will get "device disconnected" and your status move to ON DUTY. Then contact your safety department to modify, STOP the truck to accept the modification. NOT RECOMMENDED ### 2/5 — 1 *2020-11-01, version 1.5* Always shows incorrect geoposition... ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-10-11, version 1.4* I had very bad experience with GPSTAB Always have problem. Not recommend anyone. If the refund my device money. I will go with another ELD company. ### 1/5 — App keeps closing down *2020-05-15, version 1.3.3* I don’t know how this app has 4.6 stars at a time of my review May 2020. App is simple and very easy to use. BUTTT the main issue I’m experiencing is that the app keeps closing while I’m driving and it won’t record my driving time. On the log it shows as app shut down and it will record it as just on duty. So basically if I don’t check I’m screwed. I’m just waiting to the day when DOT officer pulls me over and ask how I went off the radar back in PA and appeared in OH in without driving. I’d say it’s very lame. I just like my iPad. I don’t want to spend another couple of hundred dollars for Android where this app works like a cham. It works perfectly on $79 android tablet??? What??? Unbelievable. So please devs do something ### 2/5 — Horrible app *2020-05-06* This is by far, one of the words ELD apps I have ever used. Very basic and filled with bugs. When you are working, it works perfectly 90% of the time. But when you are off duty or in PC mode, it constantly switches to “on duty” on its own. For example, if you’re in PC mode for the weekend, if you PC to the store, 5 minutes or so after you stop, it will automatically switch you from PC to on duty. If you don’t realize it, once you leave the store, driving on your personal time, it switches you from “on duty” to “driving” thus completely screwing up your clock. When you call tech support, they tell you that they can’t fix your clock. So, now you’re in violation. And there’s nothing you can do about it. This app was not designed for owner operators. ### 3/5 — Фризы и зависания. Небольшая просьба разрабам *2020-04-25, version 1.3.3* iPad Air 2 iOs 13.4 Фризы и зависания скролле. При смене режима определяется локация (4-8 секунд ). И если в этот момент сделать любое другое действие то процесс ожидания зависает. И можно отображать сигнал остовой связи на основном экране? Можно отображать все изменения статуса, а не только 5-6 последних? Чтобы под графиком был весь список. Можно чтобы значение в FROM: и TO: переносились на следующий день? С уважение Руслан Ханов, Otaman Trans Group inc. owner operator ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Experiment not reliable product *2025-04-10* 1.Inaccurate placement of truck movement 2.600$ deposit 3.When you do 34 hour sleeper cycle randomly stop and install driving hours 4.When you call support they are useless “there is nothing we can do” 5.Not synchronized event sheet ### 1/5 — What update? *2024-09-14, version 3.8.4* After yesterdays update literally nothing works…. What did you guys fix? Literally every5ingg was fine now it’s crashing down on my new tablet ??? ### 1/5 — Not the sharpest tool in the shed *2024-08-08, version 3.7.5* On a good day it will crash about twenty times in an eleven hour day. Since the last update it won’t even connect to the truck and is in perpetual search mode. So if you enjoy running paper logs this is the ELD for you. ### 1/5 — Terminated *2024-08-02, version 3.7.5* No running in the background ### 1/5 — Not good anymore *2024-07-29, version 3.7.2* Last update wasn’t good. It stops working even when you’re actually driving. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-07-23, version 3.7.1* after the last update it stopped working!!!!. Garbage🤮 ### 1/5 — Not working properly *2024-02-19, version 3.4.8* The worst eld ever as soon as you close the app Its switch you from driving to on duty and when you are on pc and stopped its still switching to on duty and there is no split hours on this eld ### 1/5 — 0000 stars *2023-08-05, version 3.4.5* This app is garbage i got no choice bc of the company i work can’t switch ### 1/5 — The app is very slow *2023-06-14* Several of us have been using this app for a few years now. It was fine in the beginning but these past several months have been soo slow. We tried using different devices and they were all updated. All other apps are working fine but this app is soo slow! Something needs to be done! ### 1/5 — Последнее обновление плохое *2023-04-26, version 3.4.3* Ipad pro на м2 процессоре после последнего обновления это просто кошмар! Программа тупит тормозит и просит несколько раз подписи. Через раз не переходит на драйв! Прошу вернуть предпоследнюю версию. Пробывал и переустанавливать и кеш сбрасывать. Устройство перезагружал несколько раз ничего не помогает. Бесит больше всего что очень много запрашивает подпись. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-01-27, version 1.3.1* Glad I got started early before the mandate, GPStab helped a lot ### 5/5 — Good quality product *2020-01-27, version 1.3.1* Cool features and price is not too bad ### 5/5 — Thanks dev *2020-01-25, version 1.3.1* Inspections are so much faster now with this app ### 5/5 — Perfect app *2020-01-25, version 1.3.1* GPSTab is the easiest app to use on the market!! ### 5/5 — Such a great app *2019-06-20, version 1.2.1* Using GPSTab app for a couple weeks now.
