  1. [R4] TruckSmart ™ 1/5 · US Please fix the damn app!!!: I can’t add a payment card, I can’t book a shower, please fix and LEAVE it the hell alone!!!
  2. [R12] TruckSmart ™ 3/5 · US Improvements Needed: The app in its basic form is pretty good. Being able to reserve a spot, book a shower and find locations is a great start. Four added suggestions I have are as follows. 1. Allow for navigation/route planning to the selected TA/Petro location within the app. 2. Unlimited transaction history with more details, perhaps an actual receipt copy for all transaction types. 3. The abi
  3. [R30] TruckSmart ™ 3/5 · US Can’t see fuel receipts.: I would like to see my fuel receipts on the app. Getting showers and parking is fine.
  4. [R37] TruckSmart ™ 1/5 · US Terrible: This app hasn’t worked correctly for the past year. Every time I try to reserve a parking spot, it says to complete driver details, but my details are already filled out. How long does it take to fix this issue? Several updates have taken place, yet the issue remains. The same occurs when trying to use points.
  5. [R1] TruckSmart ™ 1/5 · US Absolutely user unfriendly: How is this the worst app as opposed to the Pilot/Flying J and Loves apps? Nothing works properly, never wants to take card information, and the format is 2008 mobile web quality. They never update it and don’t really seem to care. TruckSmart? I guess that’s an oxymoron. Update: the new app seems only half finished and half working. Still garbage.
  6. [R3] TruckSmart ™ 3/5 · US UI needs to be updated: The app is decent, however in my opinion it needs a major revamp. Compared to other apps for major T/S like loves or pilot, truck smart seems to be out of date. Yes, you can accomplish the basic tasks you are looking to achieve, but the UI is a bit frustrating at times and the app loves to crash.
  7. [R5] TruckSmart ™ 5/5 · US Great app…: When it lets you sign in. I have no idea why it’s kicking me off and giving me all these error messages when I use the same login they already have in their system. It needs to get fixed.
  8. [R10] TruckSmart ™ 1/5 · US Still broken: App still broken, haven’t been able to sign in since day 1. Now it’s incorrect format. I give up. Your truck stops are out dated and so is your apps. It be best to rebuild from the ground up from a collage kid out of a tech school. Fire whoever is in charge of your apps!!!!
  9. [R9] TruckSmart ™ 3/5 · US Notice: It’s slow and glitchy.
  10. [R6] TruckSmart ™ 3/5 · US Points vs coins: Ultra one point work OK as long as I can print it onto a receipt, but I keep losing my points at the register today is the second time it happened
  11. [R7] TruckSmart ™ 1/5 · US -5: What a gas station, what a lousy program, I have a fourth level and one shower! It's a total disgrace, I'll leave the gas stations and move on Love’s
  12. [R13] TruckSmart ™ 2/5 · US Points left to keep Platinum disappearing: Now how am I supposed to know how many points I have to fill to keep platinum?? It disappeared. As long as it took to come with this new update…. Was it tested? lol NOPE
  13. [R21] TruckSmart ™ 3/5 · US Error: App giving my problem on account . Doesn’t recognize my profile and not accumulating my point when I fuel . Doesn’t update my profile
  14. [R15] TruckSmart ™ 3/5 · US Change it back: Whatever happened on this last update isn’t working. I can’t issue a license plate state that you are now asking for and there’s no way to update it in our profile. Also, there isn’t any customer service available on the weekends. Please fix the app
  15. [R28] TruckSmart ™ 2/5 · US This app hasn’t been updated since 2012.: I don’t know who gives this app a rating over 3 stars but they’re obviously insane. The whole system at TA is complete trash compared to Loves or even Pilot. App is garbage, barely works and redeeming points is a complete pain. Do better
  16. [R48] TruckSmart ™ 1/5 · US Even worse!!: Latest update and it’s even worse!! Cannot pay for showers & parking at all….DO YOUR JOB AND FIX THIS GARBAGE APP!!
  17. [R73] MacroPoint For Truckers 1/5 · US Battery sucking app: Normally I can go all day on my phone but when the tracking is enabled , it drains my battery in 8 hours
  18. [R97] MacroPoint For Truckers 1/5 · US Mucha batería: Le gasta mucha batería a los teléfonos
  19. [R74] MacroPoint For Truckers 4/5 · US tracking all the time: UPDATE. TRACKS YOU SEVERAL DAYS AFTER IT SAY "Tracking stop" . SO SEVERAL UPDATES LATER STILL THE SAME. EXCEPT NOW IS AI CALLING YOU FROM MACROPOINT. SO MUCH FOR REDUCED CALLS. THE REST IS SAME. when You deliver load it supposed to stop, but in small letters is that it might continue tracking after You are done for up to 3 days. in reality as long as the app is on Your phone
  20. [R75] MacroPoint For Truckers 1/5 · US Not sure: Seems to work OK while you have a load but I’ve delivered loads to three weeks ago that are still hanging around on there. They obviously don’t care to clear them out once they’re done they do not need to be hanging around.
  21. [R93] MacroPoint For Truckers 2/5 · US TruckDriver: Hey DRIVERS!!! Pay Attention to When ya complete a load even after using mark load complete tab and submitting, Had a load completed on a tuesday morning that kept tracking thru the weekend. Caught it 8 days later still tracking and New Load NOT Appearing. Something is VERY wrong either this app or theiving Brokers that Use it?
  22. [R101] MacroPoint For Truckers 1/5 · US Tracking never stops: This app spies on you for many days past the completion of the load! Be aware !
