### 4/5 — Reward delivered as promised

*2026-03-19, version 2026.02.0*

App was simple to use. Minor glitches, and stops were slightly off. Reward was delivered as promised, but did have to wait a week or two.

### 1/5 — Intrusive and dangerous!

*2024-11-24, version 2024.11.0*

Used the app for  several days after notification of a state-sponsored travel survey.  Found the question s to be very intrusive and of no value to the state.  Appears to be a thinly veiled attempt to track movement for future taxation schemes.  DO NOT TRUST IT.

### 1/5 — Puzzling to see this is with cdot

*2024-11-16, version 2024.09.1*

Not sure the objective. Disappointing

### 2/5 — Too much time and personal info

*2024-11-14, version 2024.09.1*

I couldn’t even make it past the first three days of the week-long transportation survey because I got so weirded out by the sheer amount of and depth of information they needed about me. Wayyy too much PII. Very complicated surveys for each trip with no estimate of how long it’ll take to complete too. I really wanted to complete it but it felt invasive and not worth the $20.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-10-31, version 2024.09.1*

I was supposed to use this for a certain amount of days. The app kicked me out (logged me out at some point) and all the work I had done was gone. Then I tried to get back into the survey and it said it was too late. Huh?! So you’re telling me all the driving I did and confirming my trips was all for nothing?! What a waste!

### 2/5 — Survey that’s not upfront.

*2024-10-01, version 2024.09.1*

Started to fill out a survey for Travel Mass, thinking they just want to ask a few questions.

After many questions later they require tracking your movement via this app? Very deceptive to not mention this upfront. 

Awful in terms of privacy. Poorly designed UX and product management. 

Told friends who also receive the mailing postcard to avoid this survey.

### 1/5 — Scam no reward upon completion

*2024-06-13, version 2024.05.2*

Did the 7 day tracking and surveys and completed it but never received my $25 gift card reward. Tried contacting support email but received no response either. A big waste of time and personal data given for nothing.

### 2/5 — Poor performance

*2024-06-10, version 2024.05.2*

So does not scale to the number of concurrent users, so frequently just opening the dashboard results in watching the spinner for you to 60 seconds…

### 4/5 — Yay for improving transportation options and safety!

*2024-06-05*

rMove worked well as I recorded my daily movements to fulfill a MassDoT survey. I’m an avid user of public transportation and have no car and I believe in making public transportation, bike lanes, sidewalks, etc work for everyone! The app was easy to use and generally captured my travels accurately. There are some small improvements that could be made in user interface, survey-question clarity, and movement tracking, but nothing that made using the app too difficult. Also, shoutout to y’all as a Vermont company ❤️

**Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback and for using rMove™ to support the MassDoT survey! We're glad to hear you found the app easy to use and generally accurate in capturing your travels. Your support means a lot to us. If you have any specific suggestions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to our support team at usersupport@rsginc.com.

### 4/5 — Bugs in the app

*2024-06-03, version 2024.05.2*

The app is not always working when it is guessing the details of your trip.  When select either confirm details or edit details the app is stuck and will not go to the next step.

### 2/5 — Glitch

*2024-05-15, version 2024.05.0*

App tries to “guess trip detail” and glitches. Every time it guesses. Please fix

### 1/5 — Deceptive Practices

*2024-04-18, version 2024.04.1*

This is not a “survey” app, they want to record your every movement and don’t tell you this until after you’ve already signed up.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2026-03-14, version 2026.02.0*

Couldn’t complete a survey due to app crashing when asking for my home location. 👎🏽👎🏽

### 1/5 — Scam alert!

*2025-11-21, version 2025.09.0*

Don’t waste your time! Did this and completed all requirements, and never received anything! Don’t give up your privacy or waste your time with this SCSM

### 1/5 — What is the point?

*2025-11-17, version 2025.09.0*

Completed the surveys and did the work as requested. I was prompted to send data. Phone is connected to the internet and when I have continuously hit send date- get an error over a 2 day period. Do not use the app.

### 1/5 — Crashes when trying to use location services

*2025-10-24, version 2025.09.0*

App crashes at the home address screen because it tries to bring up location services and bombs out. I’m stuck in a loop with no way to put my address in manually, so I guess I just can’t do the survey.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t correctly record travel

*2025-05-24, version 2025.05.0*

The app didn’t record MILES of my very first trip.  And it doesn’t allow me to correct it.

### 1/5 — SCAM❌❌❗️❗️❗️❗️❌❌❗️❗️❗️

*2025-05-22, version 2025.05.0*

It asks for children’s school addresses which is very weird and creepy, it asks for your location at all times, it asks for all your family members information, and after you do all that it just says “Thank you” and you DONT get ANY money. Do NOT trust that paper in the mail.

### 1/5 — Asking for too much

*2025-05-16, version 2025.04.0*

As the title says

### 1/5 — Be Alert - SCAM

*2025-03-31, version 2025.03.1*

This app masquerades as collecting travel data to help transit authorities. You are given, if you jump through all the hoops, the promise of a gift card. I did all the surveys, but then was told it wasn’t enough. How am I to blame when the app thinks March has only 30 days… You also must surrender a significant amount of personal data. I foolishly participated.

### 1/5 — Super Glitchy

*2025-03-29, version 2025.03.0*

I unfortunately wasted a ton of time trying to troubleshoot this extremely glitchy app. I am using an iPhone 15 and it will not work for me. When I attempt to complete a survey it freezes and then closes. I tried deleting, reinstalling, restarting phone etc. I give up!! Way too much trouble.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-03-02, version 2025.02.0*

Installed the app, entered the survey code I was given, and was told it was not recognized. Apparently you also have to participate long term to get the reward, which is not disclosed prior to entering or attempting to enter the survey code.

### 5/5 — Painless survey participation

*2026-03-25*

I enjoy participating surveys, but sometimes the process is so painful. This app made it simple to keep track of where I went and record details for the survey. 

I appreciated how, after a couple of repeat trips, the app would suggest how I would complete the entry without even having to make a selection —  but also gave me the option to override the suggested responses to make it accurate. That streamlined the process for daily trips.

I also thought it was helpful that you could go back and fix things that weren’t quite right from earlier trips, even a couple of days later. That was another great way to help survey participants actually fulfill their responsibilities.

**Developer response:** We’re glad to hear you enjoy participating in surveys and had a positive experience using rMove®. It’s great to know the trip tracking, smart suggestions, and editing features helped make the process easier and more efficient for you. We appreciate you taking the time to share this thoughtful feedback—it helps us continue improving!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-06-25, version 2024.05.2*

Easy to use, I got a gift card emailed to me 13 days after completing the surveys

### 5/5 — Unsure about all of this

*2024-06-14*

Edit: all previous statements retracted. Really did send gift cards. Hopefully the data that was obtained will improve travel in the state 

Doesn’t seem to record trips properly. I’ve got a sneaky feeling that I’ll be “ineligible” for my gift card when this is over and they’ll still get whatever data from me

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your concerns about rMove™. We're sorry to hear that your experience has not met your expectations. Please contact us at usersupport@rsginc.com so we can assist you directly.

### 5/5 — Great app for tracking trips!

*2024-06-09, version 2024.05.2*

Easy to use, quick to respond! Questions gave all the options I needed which made checking a box and moving on quick!

### 5/5 — Intuitive and easy to use

*2024-05-22*

This is set up in a very intuitive manner, which makes for ease of use and I also noticed very low battery usage, even though it is always on in the background. Very well designed for the Chicago survey.

**Developer response:** We're happy you found rMove™ intuitive and efficient! Thank you for your positive feedback.

### 5/5 — Easy Survey to Complete

*2024-05-10, version 2024.05.0*

I partook in the Oregon Transportation survey.  Survey ran daily for a week.  Was comprehensive yet easy to complete.  I found the survey intelligently put together.  Actually enjoyed filling it out.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2024-04-25, version 2024.04.1*

Love a simple easy to use UI. Straight up worked, didn’t waste my time and auto guessed my movements, and when it was done it told me so. Good job.

### 5/5 — Tried to Make Surveys as Easy as Possible

*2023-12-26*

I appreciated that rMove recognized the patterns in my answers and would auto-fill my answers when it could. Most surveys took about 5 minutes or less. I was never confused about how to answer a survey, or what it was asking, or had an unaccounted-for answer. Yes, my battery did drain faster, but it wasn’t a significant issue for me. It was easy to contribute to a study that will hopefully make commuting easier in the long run.

**Developer response:** We love to hear it! We're so glad you enjoyed using rMove™!

### 5/5 — Really well done

*2022-10-27*

This is a really well done, intuitive app. It monitored everywhere I went almost all accurately. The only stumbling block is if I park my car and go to the supermarket and then walk past my car to go back to the apartment.(I live in Manhattan and drive- call me crazy.) It becomes a little hard to track everything. But those little minor issues don’t overshadow a wonderfully planned app. Congratulations to the app makers!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your comment! We appreciate your positive review and feedback.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2022-05-23, version 7.2.1*

It was fun and easy and I definitely enjoyed the reward!!
