### 1/5 — App not working in I phone 14 pro

*2024-07-03, version 2.10.5*

App is not working in I phone 14 pro 
Useless app . Time wasting app

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-06-22, version 2.10.5*

This app is total garbage. I have been trying to link with my account for 4 days and all I get is Trimble blaming the cloud. Fix your junk.

### 1/5 — 1 Star is too much for this APP

*2024-06-20, version 2.10.5*

They should be ashamed to keep this app in the store

### 1/5 — Desperately needs to be updated

*2024-05-17, version 2.10.5*

The only thing this app is good for is changing status between on and off duty and receiving messages. When I look at my logs it doesn’t even show the correct times for log entries or even the correct day. Entries are displayed 25 hours behind. They also need to add the ability to certify logs from within the app.

### 2/5 — Who’s using this app

*2023-10-29, version 2.10.5*

Is anyone using this app? What’s your feedback?

### 1/5 — FAIL

*2023-09-21, version 2.10.5*

Useless garbage created by techies that don’t drive CMV or use HOS

Log status is not in real time 

Last updated to app 2 years ago …honestly?!?

### 1/5 — Needs attention

*2023-05-14, version 2.10.5*

App was good a few years ago but now it seems to hang on the log in screen. Hangs up before I can even get my username in.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-05-09, version 2.10.5*

Worst app ever total garbage nothing works properly. App support has no freaking clue what’s going on or how to fix it. Tap a star for rating really they’re not worth anything, is there a negative 5 star somewhere.

### 1/5 — Wrong date/log time

*2023-05-04, version 2.10.5*

The current date in this app shows the 3rd as the current date, even though it’s the 4th. The available drive time says 0:00, even though I have full drive time. Logging into the truck tablet shows I have full drive time. This app does not sync correctly at all and does not provide any value due to this flaw, thus resulting in low star reviews.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-04-11, version 2.10.5*

Nothing on this works anymore can’t see active trips just a waste of an app.

### 1/5 — App

*2023-01-09, version 2.10.5*

App will not load tried to refresh multiple times. Just stuck at connecting! Just buffering! 2 days now!

### 1/5 — iPhone app doesn’t work.

*2023-01-02, version 2.10.5*

App hasn’t been updated in over 2 years and it’s basically useless on the iPhone unless you need your load information in your messages at shipper. No notifications, no log support, and your eld shows up outdated unless you change your status on the unit in the truck. Also you can’t see what you’re typing in the app so sending a quick message requires doing it blind or walking back out to the truck to use the peoplenet tablet.

### 1/5 — Does not reflect the onboard computer

*2022-10-16, version 2.10.5*

It’s totally off the onboard computer and the company system even though they supposed to be synced, rendering it completely useless

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2022-10-05, version 2.10.5*

I wish I could give this app 0 stars this thing is a joke. When it’s not crashing on me it doesn’t even load up so I have to delete it then readd it

### 1/5 — Absolute junk

*2022-10-01, version 2.10.5*

This app is absolutely horrible, does not work with iphone and ive missed multiple loads because there is no notifications. Support is non existent and they just dont care

### 1/5 — outdated, slow, redundent, cluttered

*2022-08-16, version 2.10.5*

Peoplenet is for quite time enjoyng their early success and wide enogh clieture. Time changed. Applications like KeepTrucking are way ahead now with their abundence of features, simplicity and easy to adapt user interface. I had a chance to use it for couple months and cannot praise it more. No need for all those bulky and dadly slow units than distract driver's eyes most of the time. Everyone is using their phones now and this all one needs to have reliable ELD in their trucks. Minimum distraction, maximum safety. It's long due time for you Peoplenet to create a reliable ELD Phone/Pad application and have only tiny bluetooth connector with the truck's computer aka KeepTrucking to keep us drivers safely do our job.

### 1/5 — Garbage

### 1/5 — Junk

### 1/5 — Messages

*2024-07-26, version 2.10.5*

Before the upgrade I was able to check my messages from dispatch while away from the truck. Now I really can’t do anything with it, it’s worthless as far as I am concerned

### 1/5 — App is garbage!

*2024-07-08, version 2.10.5*

Android users can get their messages from our company but us iPhone users can’t! I wish you developers would put some time into this app like the android developers do! Wish I could give a zero!

### 5/5 — Peoplenet is complicated

*2019-03-22, version 2.7.0*

It need to more simplified regarding design and use ,, 
Peoplenet dont have ease of use, and rather than design and stuff If simple math  would be more helpful 
For experience purpose if peoplenet team  can use keep trucking it would help them

### 4/5 — Needs updating

*2021-10-08, version 2.10.5*

Will not work with IOS 15

### 4/5 — Not useless

*2017-11-13, version 2.5.9*

This is a good app when your not in your truck it could have more of the truck functions added to the app. I wish it was still available in the App Store

### 3/5 — How about adjusting DST March 2023…?

*2023-04-22, version 2.10.5*

Or put out another app?  What works, works great!  If you want abandon this app what is going to replace it?  A paid service?  Something!

### 3/5 — App Needs Work

*2021-03-06, version 2.10.5*

It's nice to have the app so I can take my phone into the scale house or hand it to an officer to present my logbook during an inspection.

However, both this app and the peoplenet receiver in my truck have so far displayed the wrong "drivetime available" and "70-hour duty cycle available" 100% of the time (Always says 0). Thusly, without manually calculating my log, I have no idea how many driving/on duty hours I currently have at a glance. 

Because of this, most other elogging systems run circles around peoplenet simply for the fact that they function at a basic level.

Thankfully, I do the same route every day and have my log on lockdown, but peoplenet would drive me absolutely bonkers if I had to do OTR with it.

### 3/5 — Updated/Fixed bug

*2020-06-15, version 2.8.13*

Great for drivers that use this app through their company. It’s great for sending messages to dispatch and receiving load info. 
There was an issue on my phone with the keyboard.  I notified them and they updated the app very promptly (within 1 week). Thanks!

### 3/5 — More wrong

*2020-06-11, version 2.8.13*

Thanks for finally fixing the message screen for the iPhone but the voice to text feature (the one next to the spacebar) still doesn’t work for more than a single second.

### 3/5 — Needs updating

*2019-08-08, version 2.7.4*

The app is nice but it would be nice to be able to send the forms our company has through the app and with the new ELD set up, the app and the tablet are not communicating properly. Please try and update the app as much as y’all update the tablet

### 3/5 — Lag time

*2018-02-02, version 2.5.9*

It’s great for the messages and load info, but the HOS seems like it don’t stay up to date with the truck. Other than that not a bad app.

### 2/5 — Needs major overhaul

*2024-02-19, version 2.10.5*

You should be able to do anything on this app that you can do in cab
