### 1/5 — Hardly helpful

*2025-02-03*

As much as McLeod customers pay for their software, they could have done a far better job at developing this app. Button layout and configuration is all over the place and doesn’t have a clean progression from screen to screen. Almost every company has an app these days—theirs could be much better. But I’m sure there’s a CHARGE to get the upgrade lololol

### 1/5 — App down over a week.

*2024-12-18, version 2.85*

The app has been down for over a week. Maybe you should hire some 2nd graders so it could get fixed.

### 1/5 — It’s trash

*2024-12-14, version 2.85*

App keeps saying I’m driving when I’m not and it won’t let you remove the warning

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2024-10-03, version 2.85*

App is complete trash. It’s always an error message Unable to load data

### 1/5 — Junk

*2024-06-08, version 2.82*

Garbage app never lets you in with an iPhone always locked out for driving when if you been parked for an hour.

Useless.

### 1/5 — This app belongs in the garbage.

*2024-06-06, version 2.82*

It’s the year 2024 and this app runs like it’s in the year 2009. This app is mediocre and the only reason I use it is because of my carrier.

### 1/5 — How do?

*2024-03-11, version 2.78*

### 1/5 — Update

*2024-01-25, version 2.78*

The app needs updated badly can someone please do something??

### 1/5 — Fix

*2023-10-03, version 2.77*

App wont open at all, just spins on the loading screen and says request timed out. Please fix

### 1/5 — Still worthless.

*2023-08-24*

App still crashes constantly, and keeps getting worse. Whoever is in charge of developing the joke at a dispatch app needs to be fired or shot!! Already sent several support requests to their pathetic excuse for a customer dept with no response. Garbage software from a garbage company!!

### 1/5 — App Trash

*2023-07-25, version 2.75*

Yea this app goes out more than the electric company in Venezuela

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-04-28, version 2.74*

Stop selling this app and software to carriers. It’s barely usable and done at work 99% of the time. The 1% it does work it’s not correct.

### 1/5 — Notification don't work

*2023-04-12*

Notifications do not work with either iPhone 10 or 12. I've u installed and reinstalled. Changed notification settings several times. Nothing works. 

Also the "it seems like you're driving"button comes up all the time, even when I've been parked for several hours.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2023-01-03, version 2.73*

This app crashes all the time to the point you have to delete it and hopefully it will start working again

### 1/5 — Crash

*2022-12-22, version 2.73*

App crashes all the time uses too much data it also needs to track location to work… very poor app

### 1/5 — Anywhere app

*2022-10-28, version 2.73*

Lord this app exist for what reason??  When it’s working it’s 50% at best. When it’s not, lord you have to go through so much to get it to work again. 75% completely useless

### 1/5 — App function

*2022-09-14, version 2.73*

This APP is junk 1 star is too much it appears they don’t care to fix it. Last review was a year ago and it was junk then it is now.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Basically useless

*2026-07-06*

This app does not open at all and constantly shows a message saying it appears you are driving. Sometimes I’ve been stopped for over 30 minutes and message is still shown. No option to skip or anything just locked out. I literally cannot use the app until the end of my workday when I’m off work and the truck hasn’t moved for over an hour.

### 1/5 — No, i'm not driving

*2026-04-17, version 2.89*

Let me open the gd app, i'm not driving and even if I was it's none of your damn business.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-04-11, version 2.89*

Complete trash like back to 1970s software!

### 1/5 — Will not open

*2026-02-23*

Starting yesterday it will not open on my iPhone. Frustrating to all levels. Have two phones and it will not open on either. Frustrating to a whole new level.

### 1/5 — The TMS system that bleeds companies dry

*2026-02-07*

The amount of businesses I’ve consulted with that have bought into McLeod & then gone under is astounding.  The others refuse to use the interfaces or addons.  Whether you pay up front or pay monthly they milk companies for all they can.  At some point, I won’t be surprised if a class action lawsuit comes into play.

### 1/5 — Mediocre

*2025-12-11*

The app keeps saying “warning it appears that you’re driving” when I’m literally in sleeper berth on my iPhone. Closed the app and reopened it like 10 times and it keeps saying the same thing. McLeod, fix this bug, if not then I’ll save up some money and hire a real developer to replace this with modern day skill and User Interface.

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2025-05-25, version 2.87*

App won’t load or unable to load data 5/25/2025

### 1/5 — Slow 🐢

*2025-04-13, version 2.87*

This app take entirely way too long to load the “My Loads” tab.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2025-04-05, version 2.87*

It works pretty much flawlessly on android, but on iOS it is terrible. It would be good, I like it better than the android version, but it keeps telling me that I’m driving when I’m firmly planted on my sofa at home. There used to be a button “I’m Not Driving” they got rid of, and now it’s unusable.
And lately it started crashing when I tap on the load assignment (on occasions when it actually opens)
(iPad Pro M4)
Good thing I’ve got also an android device otherwise I wouldn’t be able to transfer the paperwork to the company.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-03-15*

Unfortunately my company uses this app to track deliveries, and I get paid accordingly. With that being said I haven’t been able to log in to this app for 2 days now so what’s the point of even having an app!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very convenient

*2023-10-26*

I like the convenience of having the ability to send and receive load info on my phone. It’s nice being able to see my next load or two as well. The system on the truck is limited to only showing current loads.

### 5/5 — Correct Spelling

*2021-10-03*

Hire…..not higher. No wonder you couldn’t figure out how to use this app.

### 5/5 — A masterpiece of convenience and utility

*2019-08-22*

5 Star all around. 
Great customer support. 
Great for the company and especially for the driver. Saves me time and helps me have access to things I need from my cellular device. A person concerned of location services and battery draining just need to learn to configure your phone settings. Keep up the good work and please continue to support and use this application.

### 4/5 — Bring back the greyscale filter

*2022-04-11*

I absolutely love this app but hate that you got rid of the greyscale filter because the documents would always come out clear and as an owner operator it felt good knowing that my paperwork was clear and easily readable since my pay depends completely on these documents

### 4/5 — Missing Settlements Link

*2022-03-16*

What happened to the “Settlements” tab? That was the best part to me...getting to see my check stub a few days early.

### 4/5 — Sarge

*2020-04-03*

I like the app but one thing that bugs me is that after I click on loads to view my loads it seems to take forever to load. I don’t know if this is due to something on my end or yours? It would be nice if it were load quicker.

Thanks to all the people behind the scenes working on this app. Please be take care and keep your self healthy.  Sarge

### 3/5 — Always tells me I’m driving

*2024-10-15*

This app is fine when it wants to work. When I’m sitting perfectly still it tells me that I appear to be driving and I can’t do what I need to do. Please fix this!

### 3/5 — It down again.

*2021-09-30*

It acting up again. It telling me that my company I’m trying log into is not the right one or is betraying my company.  Can scan get info or log out or in as keep just popping the message up as soon as I open the app.

### 3/5 — Alerts & messages

*2020-06-23*

Downloaded many times and can’t get any type of notification on my screen for messages.

### 3/5 — Customer service issues

*2020-01-29*

Don't complain to mcleod that your notifications never go away after their latest update, or you'll never get notifications again.
