Not very good at the driving coach feature. If you approach a red light, and it turns green, you will get dinged for a traffic signal unless you stop a green lights.
Also, all Bluetooth features on my phone fail to function properly until I went in my settings and hit forget this device!! Now I can make phone calls from Bluetooth again… and AirPlay works now too
This app needs too much work. Going back to DriveCam again.

Cell service required

Changed the way it connects to my phone now it is constantly stuck in driving mode when I stop in a low cell signal area - sucks now

Terrible service

Motive was once a decent app. Then someone decided to remove the countdown clock from the screen so a driver has no idea how close they’re getting to a violation by glancing at the screen. Now a driver has to take the time and the distraction to keep up with it on a completely different device. It’s not good customer service and it’s a poor quality app from this regard.

Sucks so hard

Constantly disconnects I go to change my status after driving four hours and it still shows that I’ve been on duty the entire time. One of the worse HOS apps I’ve ever had to use.

The worst ELD app there is

Unbelievable unreliable will not stay connected when you turn off the engine. Disconnect while driving. The pre-trip category is like you rebuilding a truck. You have to put your truck number in every time it gets disconnected or when you log out and have to log back in although we drive the same truck every day. It’s just not a good investment for anybody nevertheless the trucking industry. I cannot give it any stars unless it’s minus stars.
