CoPilot Truck HD USA & Canada App Reviews

Upgrade

I tried to upgrade & lost everything! I was send new pass word many times & never could open to maps! Now Im without

Buggy

The update is very buggy. If you have v8, wait to upgrade. Voice nav quits randomly, launching the app can take 5-10 tries, because it says it failed to activate, and it thinks I take about 30% of off ramps, instead of assuming Im following the route until proven wrong. Try that going down I15 in Fontana CA! On the plus side reroute are faster (which is good since it has to do them all the time) and low clearance/weight limit/truck restrictions are shown right on the map. Nice if youre ignoring the routing for detours or local directions, or getting turned around for that matter. Fix the bugs and I give it a 5/5

Good app;tried downloading region maps after north American map. It crashed. Could not resolve. Could not get help from support. I investigated other apps, nothing comes close. I repurchased this one again and downloaded north America & then Canada with out a problem. Works well!

Works good for me

Ive been using this app since march, and Ive been happy with it. Previously I used a Garmin 465t, and I feel this has been a superior product. There are bugs, but its strengths outweigh the weaknesses. Some of the truck routing is spotty, but this seems to be mostly local roads. The Garmin had the same issue. I pull hazmat constantly, and have not been led astray yet. I have also tried to submit map improvements through the app, and I have received prompt replies from support asking for details as needed. The software is quick, and the poi seem to be spot on. If you already have the iPad, I consider this to be a much better value than a standalone gps.

It works good but needs updates

Good

Useful software...but hard to find ONLY truck STOPS not all small truck services , ugly voice and tone. The best rerouting and traffic informations !

Only fair

After using for one month...I like it being in my Iphone. Seems to be well integrated. Good graphics and like the alternate routes. Like the map displays. Easy to enter destinations. Routes have been good. Rerouting is quick. But....rarely knows the speed limit, often thinks I have taken an exit when I havent and starts giving directions back to the highway. Has sent me down the wrong highway at a split three times now. A couple times it couldnt find a route to my destination but I rebooted and moved from a dock to a street location to ask and it was able to find a route. Only once has an address not been in the data base. The voice directions seem spotty at times and late at times and a couple times were just wrong and disagreed with what the map showed. The voice directions take some getting used to, my garmin nuvi directions were clearer and easier to follow, and generally better. These need work, as does the pronunciation. Phone speaker isnt loud enough to be heard in the cab, have to use ear buds all the time. For the price and convenience factor, and since the reviews for the other trucker gps units are lousy, this one is worth a try, but I hope it improves over time.

Ok but app design is poor for finding things

Great if you put in start stop and just want a route. Their truck "stops" include just filling stations and not real truck stops. So not very useful info if you are looking for a shower, food or rest area, etc, things found at a full truck stop. Although the maps are good its impossible just to bring up a map of a location and browse. Only way Ive found is to do the long process of starting and stopping another route and drilling down to finally get a map to look at. It should be much easier. Nice idea but overall app design needs to be redone and provide buttons/pull down menus to do something other than follow a route.

Would like a refund please

Would like a refund. App is not everything it should be for 150 dollars

Please update!!!!

I sincerely wish you guys would update this app. First off, make it fit on the iPhone 5 screen. Secondly, it would be so nice if you could try to make the app look like an iOS app. Lastly, I know your database should be pretty extensive by now considering how long you guys have been around but a couple nights ago I was told by this app to turn onto a road that had a weight limit of 4 tons. Why would I be sent down such a road?? Please revisit the voice guidance. Try to make it sound a bit more human. Ill keep using it because it works for me but there are some rough edges. Smooth them out please. HELLO??!! I wrote this review months ago and youve still done nothing. Come on guys!!!!

Update please?

With iOS 7 about to drop, itd be nice to know an update was in the works. At least for functionalitys sake.

IOS7

DOESNT WORK ON IOS7 can you guys update it on iOS 6 it was fine I loved it

OTR Driver

I like. The fact that the miles log is back. This app is running good on my iPhone 5, but, its running slow on my iPad 3. Dont know why? Maybe its that the iPad is too slow, but before the update, it ran fast.

No voice directions!

If you Bluetooth pair your iphone with your car audio (like most people do now days) you will not have voice guidance from the phone or the car audio. Support will not address the issue and refuse to acknowledge an obvious failure in their software. Dont waste your time and $$$

Dont work on iPad air

I had this app for year and was very helpful But as of new iPad air came out app dont work any more

Loved it for 2 years, now it dont work

Crashes on iOS 7.0.3 on my iphone 5s, only way to fix is delete and redownload, then I have to down maps again, killing me on data, downloaded 3 times at 1.5 gigs each time, gonna demand a refund and reimbursement for data if not fixed soon, crashed to black screen all 3 time dive downloaded ut! Not happy!!!

Dont waste hour money or time with this app

I have been using ALK software for years, but this app is the worst piece of junk ever. Directions to ramps that dont exist, streets not there, routing way out of your way, regardless of settings and customer service that is so bad, they might as well just not even have it. I get better routing using apples map app. I strongly advise to put your money into an actual GPS I your vehicle before spending it on this app

Still better than stand alone gps

Ive been pretty pleased with the app running on my ipad 3. The features are on par with my stand alone truck gps that I had previously used and the added benefit of the ipad has made it worth the price. My only concern is the lack of updates to the app. Its been 10 months since the last update and with a few noticed bugs and the need for regular map updating I would hesitate purchasing the app again. That said I havent noticed as many map errors as I did with my Rand McNally TND that was updated almost weekly.

Great product gone bad

Was happy with it until I upgraded to iOS 8.x Now it is no longer functional on 8.0.2 or 8.1 (yes, fresh install of the app has been tried). They state it requires ios6 or later...but dont be fooled, they dont support iOS 8.x.

Flexibility

Being a truck driver and being able to adjust the route to suite the delivery location is very nice. The basic setting will keep you on a truck route and legal, but when you can manually adjust the directions to avoid certain areas, or for a custom entry and exit at the customers location make it even better.
