### 1/5 — SUE Technician

*2026-03-13*

This app is an embarrassment for Trimble.  I use it everyday for recording field data at work.  Rarely do I NOT have to close it out and reopen the app to collect a feature multiple times within a workday.  When it does function somewhat normal they make an update and it’s even worse than before.  Poor Software development and back end server issues plague this company

### 1/5 — New Update

*2025-12-04*

Recent update is terrible. App force stops at random. Picture added to a point crashes the app.

### 1/5 — Zooming in on app view

*2025-09-11*

You folks HAVE TO KNOW this feature simply is broken on a fundamental level.

### 1/5 — Zooming glitch renders it unusable

*2025-07-14*

I rely on using this app for work. Recently, there has been a zooming glitch on the map view where it does not recognize pinch to Zoom, and when you try to pan with one finger, it adjusts the zoom. So there is no way to pan to a project area, and the zoom adjusts in in a cycle as you move the finger up or down

### 1/5 — New "Projects" view is a huge downgrade - please change it back.

*2024-12-03*

The new "Projects" view ("Cloud vs Local") is a huge downgrade from previous version for two reasons. 

1. It now shows ALL projects in the entire account, instead of only showing projects where the user has ToDos / tasks assigned to them. 

Now we have to scroll through all our projects just to find the ones assigned to us. 

2. The cloud vs local thing is super confusing and unnecessary.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-09-20*

App constantly crashing and freezing.

### 1/5 — Very frustrating

*2024-02-09*

It’s like they purposely try and complicate your workflow. From the app to the website, the receiver to batteries. Problem after frustrating problem.

### 3/5 — Needs an iPad version

*2023-07-10*

It would be better if it has an iPad version

### 1/5 — Poorly Written App

*2022-08-21*

Needs to go onto website to log in. Claims it’s logged in and syncing but when you look into things it didn’t upload anything. Can’t log in if tethering through any other device that can log in.

### 1/5 — Project recognition issue

*2021-10-17*

Although I’m added to a project in trimble connect, it’s not popped up in the app. It’s so annoying as there is no way to troubleshoot it…
