Pretty good app

Great app for work. Would like to see a competition option to keep it interesting at work.

Professional driver

Cutting edge technologie ,makes my job so much easier

excellence

This app is Amazing!

Annoying and buggy

Coming from Motive, the app is annoying and buggy.

Having to enter a location for the trailer pretrip, when it’s clearly in the same location as the truck is annoying. The app tracks my location, make it have an easy way to fill the field. Or use the tractors location.

I’m constantly getting notifications about being over houred when I’m clearly not. And the app doesn’t save when I go off duty half the time.

Lame

What has the world come to that our company’s micro manage every step we take

Growth

Still needs common sense programming

Yellow Logo is Hideous

Please anything else

Has a mind of it’s own

I’d give it no stars if I could. Two major issues; 1) when you change duty status to Personal Conveyance or Yard Movement, Samsara updates your status at the time the server receives the status change. But it changes you into driving at the time your ELD registers that the truck started to move. I have to sit for several minutes before moving to ensure it doesn’t change me to “Driving” in the middle of a 30-minute break while I’m fueling. 2) Split sleeper computation is unreliable. I’ve had multiple situations where it stated using the split sleeper option that I was legal, but the next day it showed me in violation of the 14-hour rule, ignoring the split-sleeper rules.

Ask Samsara

Please remove this bright yellow ask samsara bar from the screen. I have it on night mode to reduce light glare in my cab. This yellow bar defeats the purpose. And honestly from a drivers standpoint ask samsara is a useless tool no one asked for. I’ll give you 5 stars once that’s gone.

Samsara

This app used to be ok now it sucks with the new update now you have to manually put your truck number in and trying to put trailer number in have to do at least 3 times before it takes and now you have this stupid ask samsara bar at the bottom of the screen while your driving and that also messes with your headphones it just totally sucks

distracting and dangerous

every time I leave the app by swiping up, I'm prompted if I want Bluetooth engaged...

I'm forced to choose cancel or go to settings
My entire iPad is useless unless I make that selection

It is incredibly frustrating to have to do this like 10 times a day

Don't you developers have any brain brains?
Don't you know that a distracted or frustrated a driver is a dangerous driver

Get rid of that splash screen
We all know enabling Bluetooth devices we don't need to know this and be reminded through your app multiple times a day

No, I stood the home screen
how useless can read a thing

I've used this offer for a very, very long time through our company

The home screen should be the status of the driver. You know those big time remaining circles looks like clocks.

From there, a driver should be select selecting other items

Too much
Too much distraction

This app work best for all the upgrades

I'm super annoyed with the lack of common sense and planning ... come on Samsara... You've made your fortune.... don't reinvent the wheel every update

And get rid of that Bluetooth splash screen ,,,,,!!!!!!!!

Glitch

I just have a issue where as to I’m connected on my phone and company tablet and time I tend to put off duty on the company tablet yet on my phone it shows I’m still on duty.

Who chose the name? Why?

I’m being so serious, there’s no real positive connotation there. Who would willingly call their product Samsara and why?

Trash

Samsara driver app sucks. One should have Face ID to unlock. Once logged in the app should stay open but constantly closes. Doesn’t recognize the unit number your logged into. And 20-30 down the road you have to pull over to enter your unit number again. The aI camera sucks too. If you have a black shirt on it thinks your not wearing a seatbelt, randomly tells you to put down your phone you’re not holding. I can’t believe they charge companies money for this trash.

Samsara Driver

Excellent.

Drive cycle does not reset accurately

Your drive cycle is supposed to reset every week. but it doesn't.

Many issues

The latest updates have introduced a host of new issues, including not being able to run in the background properly, not being able to edit times properly on landscape devices, and a redundant HOS screen modal (which requires an interaction to close) when initiating driving status. The HOS do not always display properly and often send erroneous push notifications. As a developer, I would never ship a product this half-baked, let alone ignore the feedback provided by users.

Better routing

App is amazing minus truckers using it for routing we should be able to route around no thru truck zones

Driving while not driving

System kicks into Drive when I’m sitting still ALOT

Terrible

Hands-down, the worst ELD in existence, absolute trash I wouldn’t wish using this on my enemies
