It does what I need it to do. But I’ve paid for the premium option multiple times and it continues to show adds unless I make ANOTHER purchase. And I cannot find an option to contact anyone 👎🏼👎🏼 ### 1/5 — As is bugged *2025-04-08, version 1.0.3* Intuit credit karma ad is bug will not let you see calculations ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2025-02-19, version 1.0.3* Used to be a great app even with the ads. Now you can’t even see how far to slide as the ads are unexitable. You can’t get past the ad even when it’s done. App is now broken unless you pay for it. ### 1/5 — Ad Comes on and thats it *2025-02-17, version 1.0.3* Ad comes on and thats it stays on the ad doesnt switch back to Scale ### 4/5 — Great app *2025-02-15, version 1.0.3* I love this app…however recently the commercials are freezing the app. When in a hurry I often give up using this app because of this. ### 4/5 — Please update for newer android phones *2025-02-10, version 1.0.3* The app works well enough on older versions of android, but the current and newer versions of android are incompatible with this app. Fix that, and I’ll give you 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Scale *2024-11-07, version 1.0.3* Sometime app doesn’t provide accurate information like it should, no matter what the weight is , it supposed to be accurate,once u fill out all the necessary fields correctly ### 1/5 — Love this app but I still have a problem with it *2024-08-09, version 1.0.3* I love this app I am a truck driver I have also dyslexia I use it all the time but have one slight problem why am I paying nine dollars a year and I’m still seeing advertisements when I’m working in the truck and using it I need to use it now not when the commercials over with how can we fix that problem fee need to be to cancel all commercials advertisements if I’m looking for a game or something like that I’ll look under games not under the app that I’m actually using that I need to use ### 1/5 — Ads have disabled app *2024-08-07* I love this app, used to use it 2-3 times a day but now there are adds that block it from working even though I paid money to use without ads—HELP!!!!!!!!! ### 2/5 — Smh *2024-04-02, version 1.0.3* This app been getting the weight wrong u think it’s correct on this app but different when you get on the cat scale they need to update and redo the app correctly ### 2/5 — Stupid App *2024-03-31, version 1.0.3* Stupid app won't let you pick a subscription. Constantly closing out and weight is now off. ### 1/5 — They will take away permanent, and make you rebuy. *2024-01-20, version 1.0.3* Purchase, premium, permanent, add free, for life. And it was just taken away at random purchased back in May 2022, for 24.99 and now for me to re-purchase as an additional 44.99. It’s a really good app for all truckers at all levels of experience. It is very accurate, you said what you want in the app and if you go over, it tells you. It tells you what to put it in, gives you how much is going to weigh in that hole. Down to the pound I’ve been using it for years, never had an issue with my weights. I for one hate apps that have ads. Purchased premium permit add free open the app today and it was gone. All of the sudden there were ads showing. I really wish and development of this app, they would move the home button, setting button, and subscription button somewhere else, or make it a bigger button. you have to click on it numerous times just to get it to register that you want to go back to the home screen. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — paid but still get ads *2026-08-26, version 1.0.3* i paid for a year and i still get ads and if i have no connection it won't give me the calculations cause the ads won't load. Which is why i paid for the ad free version for a year and still don't have access to the app. ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-12-16, version 1.0.3* Those ads are getting in the way of using your actual app. I don’t want to download it. I want to scale my loads. Normally a X pops up in the corner to close it out. It just freezes up. ### 1/5 — Ads have disabled app *2025-11-12, version 1.0.3* Here we are again-love the app, use it several times per day, paid the money to keep ads off, now ads are highjacking the main screen and cannot get past without pulling up the ad and dealing with it-very hard to get rid of or get out. Keep my freaking money, I am finding a new program! ### 1/5 — Used to work great *2025-06-05, version 1.0.3* It used to work great but in the last month or so it hasn’t been working at all it will give you completely wrong information by about 10000 or more pounds in either direction ### 1/5 — Only advertising *2025-05-31, version 1.0.3* App broken, work only advertising ### 1/5 — Can’t skip ad when ad is done. Thanks royal kingdom *2025-05-20, version 1.0.3* Title says it all ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore *2025-04-27, version 1.0.3* Used to be a good app . But now that adds have been added it no longer works. The app gets stuck in the add and you can’t get back to your axle’s weight . ### 1/5 — NOT FREE ANYMORE! *2025-04-27, version 1.0.3* This was once a good app until they got greedy and now you have to pay for it instead of watching their ads ### 1/5 — Junk *2025-04-25, version 1.0.3* Can’t get past ads, it just sits there and does nothing when you push continue or the x worthless ### 1/5 — Реклама *2025-04-24, version 1.0.3* Реклама не дает возможности увидеть результат взвешивания ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Les recomiendo *2026-01-24, version 1.0.3* Excelente aplicación fácil y práctica 10 de 10 ### 5/5 — Me *2025-04-28, version 1.0.3* NICE ### 5/5 — Works great *2025-01-19, version 1.0.3* Works great gives you options on inputs if scale is a over all scale u can add steer + drives or drives + trailer with over all which gives a nice ball park o and if u want to know hole spacing the closer the holes are to each other u have 4” far apart 6 ### 5/5 — Very helpfull app *2025-01-16* Its helping for your weight calculation and adjusting slide ### 5/5 — Ads have disabled app *2024-08-13* Thankyou to someone who fixed the ad issue!! I use this app 2-3 times per day and it is fantastic, have turned fellow drivers onto it, etc. please disregard prior reviews regarding ad issue-wish there was a better way to get help! ### 5/5 — Super Quick & Easy! *2024-08-01, version 1.0.3* I was looking for an app to calculate rear tandem placement for my teammate. I’ve always loved math and it’s more like a puzzle for me and I’ve done most of the calculations in my head. But after finding this one and using it, it’s so quick and simple I don’t tax myself, I just use this app. I like how you can adjust the weights to be equal on Drive and rear tandem. I would love an option to do a 60/40 for drive/tandum placement. ### 5/5 — easy i use it everytime *2024-05-30, version 1.0.3* 1.) measure the distance between each eyehole center to eyehole center. 2.) count all the holes in your rail including the forward plug and before the plug. 3.) note which hole is the minimum for first pin. 4.) note which hole is the maximum for first pin. 5.) after gathering that initial data trailers within a fleet are usually all spec the same. 6.) put trailer in minimum hole. 7.) scale. 8.) find a parking spot and input scale ticket info and note hole used when scaling and double check all settings in app, click through to see adjust advice. 9.) if need to adjust, slide tandem to the rear and place a tandem slide stopper in the correct hole forward of the target hole. (usually 3 spaces forward of target: if wanting hole 14 then place in 11 so that it stops at target when sliding back forward.) 10.) no need to rescale, its correct if the process is done correct but you may want to double check the rescale the first few times to build confidence in using the app with the method. 11.) extremely handy to use when hauling multi-drop loads with shifting weights and needing to scale after every drop to readjust. 12.) it has been said that a perfect load balance between drives and tandem will save on fuel mileage to $30 ++ per drive shift. I have been using for several years now with every load and never a problem with scale stations. ### 5/5 — Neat *2024-01-19, version 1.0.3* Neat. ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2023-02-10, version 1.0.3* The easiest and most efficient way to balance the load. If you are not good at Math like myself, this takes all the guess work out of it. Just remember to scale with full fuel tanks or your weights will be off the first time you fuel. ### 5/5 — Good with on caveat *2023-02-04, version 1.0.3* Works great but u cant use steer+ drive and drive + trailer at the same time it on or the other some shippers only have over all wieght scales so why not use steer+ drive and drive + trailer as u drive across the scale --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
