Very poor update!

This newest version is horrible! First of all, I can’t silence the music any more. I don’t even want to open the app now! Second, I like to know when the truck is in my neighborhood, not within 3 miles. I’m not going to drive to find the truck, but I’ll walk up to a mile. Get rid of the loud music especially, though!

This update is no improvement

The app was basic but fine before the update, now the location tracking is running every second even when the app is closed. I have to delete it

New app much better but not perfect

The new app is MUCH better than the old one, but unlike the old one, I can’t turn off the sound. Please give us a way to turn off the sound!

Was great for a while

There is no longer a way to adjust settings, so alerts just blare out randomly and loudly now. That’s obviously not okay so had to remove it

Never ending tune

I used to love the sound of the Mister Softee truck. Unfortunate the app continually plays the tune and there isn’t a way to turn it off unless you lower your volume

Eww

Not only does the Mr Softee music play every time I open the app but it doesn’t even show me any trucks! I can only see trucks across the country while I hear the Mr Softee jingle from outside my window

Terrible in general

bad.

I downloaded the app and it asked me for a bunch of different things. Yes, I understand the location allowing part but why does it need my motion cues??? That’s just kinda odd like honestly it’s weird too… Another thing that I noticed was that the app wouldn’t allow me to track the exact location that I was at even though I have my location on. I also tried refreshing and scrolling out of the app which did not seem to help at all so honestly just don’t waste your time on this app

Poor design

This app shows pins where a truck is nearby but when I click on that pin it gives no address. Ridiculous.

Mr softee has boundary issues

Always asking for my location and access to my devices- can’t take no for an answer. Every time I open the app the same pop up nags appear. No you don’t need my location info 24 hrs a day. Living up to creepy ice cream truck stereotypes.

Useless app

Inaccurate and doesn’t update. Drove around wasting gas for a truck that wasn’t there.

Not useful

Don’t tell me a truck is nearby when it is in a whole different city. It would be much better if we could set a radius or have like a schedule or something, but I don’t need an app to send me a notification when a truck is nowhere actually near me.

Useless, pointless

Useless app. Trucks never where they say they’re located or going to be

Don’t work

Doesn’t work at all.

Annoying permissions

Stop begging for my fitness and location data. It’s so frustrating and such an overreach.

What about north east?

There are none in the north east area in America

Notifications & Pop-ups

Since the latest release, the app is TERRIBLE. I get constant notifications that a truck is near when there isn’t one close. I even got them on vacation in Mexico.

I also get multiple popups insisting that I give them access to Motion & Fitness, Always-On Location, etc.
NO MEANS NO. Stop harassing me every time I open the app.

Time to delete this trash. Too bad. I use to love it.

Excellent

It tells me exactly where it is at all times and notification’s me when it’s near although it would be a 5 if someway this app would connect to the ice cream van and we could ask the van to come to our home or go back to it because it takes me ages to get the money out and by the time I have it’s gone :(

Couldn’t turn off the sound!

Tried for a few minutes to turn off the sound. Slider all the way down, silent mode on phone, tried all the settings I could find. Have to be silent to avoid kids losing their minds when the truck isn’t nearby!

Waiting so far

I hope this app is worth it

So sad

I wish there were a way to text them
we
all pile in the car to get ice cream and there gone so sad and my alarm does not go off when there in town
My alarm is set to go off but doesn’t go off when there around
