### 2/5 — No,No,No.

*2026-08-12, version 2623.100.218179*

Why even bother with an app that doesn’t work for a cellphone???

### 2/5 — Slow

*2026-07-29*

Since the update where you can access the entire dashboard, the app has become terrible. Everything takes forever to load. And somethings don’t ever load.

### 3/5 — Samsara is great but lacks mobile support.

*2026-05-28, version 2620.100.21820*

The Samsara fleet app really struggles. I'm using a new iPhone on high speed WiFi and the app constantly has issues loading events, the map is buggy, and I constantly get the "we're sorry an error occurred" if I want to load anything. Refreshing does nothing to fix it. 

This is 100% not a connection or hardware issue because YouTube, Netflix, Google Maps, etc. all work lightning fast while Samsara Fleet struggles to display pages. 

Additionally, the app does not keep you signed in, so I have to manually type my email and password every time I want to use it. 

I love the Samsara platform for driver safety and it works very well on PC but the mobile app is simply not up to par.

### 3/5 — Freezing

*2026-05-20, version 2620.100.21820*

It freezes all the time or will not open.

### 3/5 — Love samsara but

*2026-05-14*

We love using Samsara in our business. The classic app for fleets is really good. It is missing some features I wish it had, the new version of the app has those features but it is so unstable. It is very slow, it regularly kicks you out, and it glitches many times as you use it. All of us at our company tried to use it and everyone experienced the same issues. We all were using the latest iPhones so it isn’t because of bad hardware. We all switched back to the classic app and it works very well it just misses a few features.

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble. We'd love to understand more and help you resolve any issues you are seeing! Please reach out to our support team at samsara.com/help and we’ll be happy to help.

### 3/5 — Darkmode

*2026-01-25, version 2542.100.17060*

Most apps often a darkmode option why doesn’t samsara fleet app have it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Too many bugs

*2026-07-01, version 2621.100.103146*

Running on a 17 pro max. Very laggy. Truck numbers are incorrect no matter how many times I change them. Customer support sucks. Overall, there is much better out there for what you’re paying.

### 1/5 — App map crash

*2026-06-30, version 2621.100.103146*

For the last three weeks my app will crash when I try to view my fleet on the map.   Major problem! Please fix

### 1/5 — Do not purchase

*2026-05-15, version 2620.100.21820*

Must log in multiple times per day. Very frustrating. Never had to log in multiple times per day with our other fleet tracking app. May sound petty, but who has time for logging in every hour and wait on MFA that often never arrives?

### 1/5 — Go Back to Basics-Unusable

*2026-02-21, version 2610.100.17347*

Our organization uses Samsara and this company, while innovative, had really did the opposite when it comes to their Fleet App and website. Two-Factor Authentication lacks severely as you can just go right back into the website bypassing MFA. When you do select the option for text message you’ll never get a code. Look, I shouldn’t have to MFA on my phone. When I need to access information ASAP and I have to sit there and wait for MFA to not send a code via text but go to my spam email and get it that way is time
Consuming and time is of the essence when I have to pull video or respond to an accident.  Even when the app works, it’s plagued with errors and reloads. You all have bloated your app too much and the backend can’t handle it. Go back to basics and try again.

### 1/5 — Speed it up please

*2026-02-09, version 2542.100.17060*

We love Samsara as a platform but the latest version of the fleet app is bad. This app used to be so good. A while ago you made a change where the app could do pretty much everything you could do online, which at first I thought was really great. But ever since that happened the app runs very slow. It takes so much longer to load, it freezes regularly, kicks me out and makes me log in, and some of the features just don’t work in the app because it can’t run fast enough to do them.
I’m using an iPhone 16 pro by the way.

### 1/5 — Love samsara, hate the app update

*2025-12-22*

The previous samsara fleet app had very simple bits of information but was really easy to navigate and give you access to basic info really quickly. The new update has one good thing, you can access everything but it does a poor job at all of it. Imagine trying to use the online version on your phone and it’s not mobile friendly. There are a lot of bugs to be worked out and it crashes regularly. Go back to the more simplified version please. If I need the full-blown features then I will just get on my computer

### 1/5 — Some good features, but …

*2025-12-07, version 2533.100.16434*

Web based software and mobile app sucks.  Made from people that don’t actually use it other than modifying and “improving” features. Customer service lacks use of common sense; always request videos, screenshots, etc. when requesting improvements, system errors…  The equipment is very expensive. 
We have over 300 tracking units.

### 1/5 — Update ruined app

*2025-10-23, version 2530.100.15454*

Ever since they changed it to a web base map the app runs like garbage. Forever to load the map forever to zoom in and half the time the names don’t show on the icons.

### 1/5 — Never Loads

*2025-09-25, version 2530.100.15454*

Don’t know what happened but for at least 2 month now just a stuck loop of LOADING…

### 1/5 — A distraction to our drivers

*2025-09-23*

This software has become a distraction to our drivers.  It gives false reduce speed warnings, reduce following distance warnings, hard event detected warnings, false seat belts alerts, etc  It has become the very thing we, as a company, are trying to avoid.  

For instance, I was installing the system on one of our trucks and I moved the box out of my way on the floor board and the alarm went off, stating harsh event detected.

Multiple times we have given thumbs down, comments, and explanations as to why the system or “AI” was wrong.  Nothing has changed or updated.

As a safety manager with about 35 trucks, I would not recommend this product to any company.  

Complaints:
1.  It’s AI needs to be trained by the company that purchases it and yet we don’t get reimbursed for time spend training their system.

2. Is a distraction with constant false alarms of speeding.

3. Creates an attitude of mistrust with employee and employer relationship due to the constant false alarms and alerts.

4. Creates an environment of road rage when our employees slow down beyond the posted speed limit to shut the system up thus aggravating other drivers.

5. System does NOT recognize posted speed limit signs, attached seat belts or drivers that are alert but rather gives false alerts to slow down, fasten seat belts, take a break, etc.

6. Customer service reps have very think foreign accents that are difficult to understand.

This product is not worth the distraction or the money.
