Driver review

Scanning documents is quick and easy

Update

Tried out the ability to upload pdf and it really helps, would love to see the pdf ability become available for the android version as well, as would like the random issues with departing from locations to be solved.

Response from developer

Hi, we recently added the ability to select PDF files. Please check it out by tapping the folder icon :)

Good

Takes great pictures and easy to use

Response from developer

We're so glad you like Sidekick :)

Always down

In the 1 year I have had this app the servers have been down at least once a month. Sometimes more than 1 time a month. This is crazy to me as trucking depends on these apps to show on time delivery and arrival of loads. And each time the issue continues for 4+ hours

Response from developer

Hi, fhnmvx, Sidekick does rely on your carrier's server to be online. Our support team is available to troubleshoot if needed at sidekicksupport@mcleodsoftware.com. While the app does periodically reach out to central McLeod servers, we've not experienced outages of the frequency and duration you describe in the last year.

I hate it!

The app is bad. It’s poorly designed and buggy. Add too many photos and it crashes and you have to start over. Not enough categorical options for documentation uploads. It’s overly complex when it doesn’t need to be. I work for another company that had one developer that word great!

Response from developer

Hi CMBeebe, thank you for your feedback. We're working to address the issue you describe with uploading multiple images at once.
