Trucker Path is a navigation app designed for truckers, offering features like truck stop locations, parking availability, and real-time updates. While many users praise its utility and accuracy, recent updates have led to widespread complaints about app freezing, incorrect routing, and issues with paid features, despite the developer's claims of bug fixes.

Who it's for
Trucker Path is for professional truck drivers who need a dedicated navigation and trip planning tool with real-time updates on truck stops and parking. It is not for users who prioritize flawless app stability, accurate navigation in all scenarios, or seamless CarPlay integration, especially given the recent negative trajectory of updates. Users looking for a free, reliable navigation solution might find its limitations and push for paid features frustrating R5.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. Many positive reviews are short and general, while negative reviews are detailed about specific issues like freezing, inaccurate routes, and CarPlay problems. The developer's release notes mention 'bug fixes and performance enhancements,' but recent user feedback directly contradicts these claims, indicating ongoing or new issues.

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.
- [R1] Easy to use.: Is ok for mention the truck stops hotels and parking places not to great. I look in another website for that. Not accurate.
- [R11] Favorite App: This is by far the best trucker app out there. Very accurate real time updates and I like that drivers have the ability to help out other drivers. We can adjust the entry/exit points. Read / write reviews of shippers / receivers and ask questions in regards to those same places
- [R12] Very useful app would recommend: Haven’t paid any of the subscriptions, but overall a very good app very helpful
- [R20] Love the apps: This app help me find truck stops when need most. Help me find those unknown place that a lot spaces and good food too.
- [R22] 90% Accurate: It does have its moments where it’ll try to send you down a road that’s truck restricted but i’ve had that happen with most gps’s and that’s where looking over your route comes into play anyways. pretty good app 👍
- [R25] The trouble w Chicago: No bridges under 13’6 it’s a blessing. Thank goodness
- [R58] I’ve been using this app for 4 years: In the beginning I loved this app it helped me avoid low bridges and roads that are not semi friendly and it never steered me wrong. I’ve been doing the updates, I’ve reset my phone, I’ve turned my internet on and off but I’m still running into the same issue. Every time I try to look up an address on the main screen it will pull up the address and when I sele
- [R48] Navigation: This is a great app for trucking navigation, as well as finding fuel stops. It gives real time updates on road conditions, and gives alternative routes in the event of a traffic delay. I recommend 10 out of 10
- [R7] Trucker GPS: This is absolutely worth the money I spend on it it’s the best I’ve ever had
- [R8] good: good product i wish it has little extra tools to be on phone but its a good replacement for gar gps
- [R15] 100% worth it: I was using garmin 720 and then One of my trucker friend told me that try truckerpath so I downloaded and start using men I never seen navigation app like that all time best app this map know every single thing on route Thanks for making a map like that thanks a lot
- [R50] Great Option: I still use my Garmin but most times I prefer this app for directions
- [R10] App freezes and slow: Trucker path used to work fine with no issues until recently it’s been freezing when I open the app even with good WiFi connection. I try to open and reopen the app but the problem persists. It’s stays on a white screen for like 3-5 minutes before it decides it wants to work. I tried restarting my phone multiple times but the problem still continues. Now I’ve tried uninstalli
- [R17] App barely launches: It never loads regardless of service strength. Constant freezes is so frustrating when every minute counts
- [R18] Freeze and log: I’ve been a loyal Trucker Path subscriber for the past 3 years. During the first 2 years, the app worked great and was very reliable. However, recently I’ve been experiencing constant freezing and lagging on the map, especially after the latest app update. It has become frustrating to use, particularly when I’m on the road and depend on it for navigation and trip planning. Please
- [R90] Could be good: I can’t keep it from freezing up
- [R2] Navigation: It’s worst navigation app
- [R9] Trucker path is ok: The app is okay… it can sometimes put you on a better route then co pilot ( work gps ) but this app has sent me on some crazy streets and also when I’m on the route it is showing it will constantly say “recalculating” all in all it has some good features especially for scales being opened or closed so you know what you are in for up ahead also putting in the dynamics and dimens
- [R27] Map: Locations are not popping up as it should. It has me on a new Truck route. I am in a 53 foot trailer.
- [R35] Overall function: I apologize for giving it one start. I pay for it every month and use it but the only reason I’m still using it is because of CarPlay. This app has so so so so so many bugs that it has done me more harm and troubles than good. Stops speaking all of a sudden, says to go right exit but it means left, you take an exit for a Truckstop and the stupid thing reroutes from the longer way
- [R85] Love it but I hate it. It’s super buggy.: This app gives a lot of useful information but it’s super buggy when it comes to CarPlay. I would usually have to delete it and reinstall it once or twice a week for it to work. And normally I didn’t mind that much. But this time I did that now my trucker path on car play isn’t working at all. It says “trucker path CarPlay integration coming soon” doesn’t
- [R123] Waste of money if wanting carplay: I tried emailing 3 times to support about CarPlay integration not working and they don’t respond. They don’t care and only want your money. Do not buy if you expect CarPlay to work correctly.
- [R150] Hi: This app is complete garbage. I connect it to Apple CarPlay, and as soon as I simply minimize the app on my phone, the navigation disappears from Apple CarPlay. Make a proper app. One-star review.
- [R4] Fix problems: This is really annoying. After every phone restart, the app demands new payment and doesn't work in the paid version for about 10 minutes. · translated
- [R33] Login: Doesn’t let me log in old account
- [R39] No support and stole 1yr subscription: Many times change my chosen route on its own without notification; routes me out of interstate to secondaries and back to interstate a couple of miles later; a few times routed me through a weight restricted roads luckily I noticed b4 too late; at renewal time sales person called me offered me a $30 discount which I accepted and paid over the phone, a couple
- [R43] Deceptive free trial: After download you offered a free 7 day trial but get charged before the free trial ends.
- [R134] Its used to be the best: Past 2 weeks lots of glitch and cannot find address that google Maps does find
- [R234] Not the best: Glitchy, road information doesn’t show up unless you zoom in, limited route options, scales don’t show up until you’re right on top of them, no simple way to back out of a programmed destination etc etc. For what they charge for this mess a guy is better off buying a Garmin Dezl..
- [R34] New update is terrible: New update zooms out too far while I’m driving. My turn will be coming up, and it’s zoomed way out, certain exit points can be very confusing, I’m going to stop paying if this is not fixed. I’m also sitting in a fatality and losing time because truckerpath said the accident ahead was cleared, and it’s not. Thanks Truckerpath.
- [R65] Too slow and not zoom enough to see where you turn: This app was working fine for a couple of months now start having some issue. It’s too expensive for having this slow, not zoom enough to show you where to turn I almost make a wrong turn South Florida following this app
- [R5] Make it make sense.: dear Trucker Path, if I can't get a truck route from point A to point B without having to pay then stop asking me about weigh stations, how many parking spots are there and to take pics to help keep your system updated for free.. point A to B.. not A,B,C.
- [R28] Popups: They’ve slowly added more and more gate pop-ups to using the app. Hard to trust a company that’s gonna interfere with its own app just to be able to advertise to you.
- [R174] Used to be the go to app: Man been years since I used trucker path. Hated it after it got bought out. I see they did away with pop up ads and now there is no open with Google Maps button so they try to get drivers to pay a subscription lol. I wouldn’t pay money for a list of truck parking spots or a route to get me there. Google Maps and experience is free.
- [R408] Decent app: The app is useful to know where truckstops and stuff are Other than that well ... for myself i can’t see reviews, the map moves at a crispy 1FPS, ads and pop ups appears when i try to see info on places but other than that its ok
- [R36] WHAT GARBAGE!: This doesn’t provide ANYTHING my load management app and/or Google provides… was looking (and searched for) an app that will calculate the time I should leave not just give me the the time in hours! There’s no way to default to a 10-hr break, when I should stop, nothing!
- [R165] Click Bait: The only thing “free” is the download. You then have to pay to use the APP.
