I can absolutely understand others not comfortable giving there info. I went ahead and gave a name and number. The app is very use full from what I can see. The only downfall I can see is there is not enough people using the app, but I'm sure that will increase over time (being nobody uses a CB anymore). Also I can't seam to find a way to update the developer of this app that there is a new scale in Oklahoma on i40 west bout around the 329 (give or take) mile marker. Cool app!

Doesn't work. Not finding closest weigh station, most aren't even found using this when I know they exist. Stay clear.

I thought this app was in some ways updated by the actual scales by its not. It is a good concept of drivers being the ones updating but its hard to do that safely while driving , which is why after giving all my personal information to create a login id, I logged in to see that most scales weren't updated at all recently. I'm deleting this today.

It doesn't recognize but about half of the searches and no way to report an open or closed scale.

Good seems like Texas drivers update it frequently but there's always that small chance it could be open. But there's a few scales that are on state highways that are not on the page. How can I get y'all that info? This is for Texas only.

I don't even understand why I have to give all my info just to be able to look ahead to see if weigh stations are open or closed so we know ahead of time if we're gonna have to slow down & move to right lane and loose fuel! And this app wants to know all my info! That's pretty messed up! Its getting uninstalled!

Too many permissions needed. Too much info to create account needed.Not giving my real phone number and address. Not enough users. For it too work scales need to be updated at least every 3 hours. Also need a way to shutdown the app. Also when looking at the list view, should be able to see History there. Currently have to go to Map to see Scale History.

if you can incorporate your app into a trucker gps highlighting all main and secondary truck routes interstates us highways and highlight the main truck stops drivers use 24/7 would be a great feature

The information is not up to date any where from 2 - 20 days old absolutely worthless for what it was meant to be used for

I realize you have to tap on the location to find out the last time a driver updated the info. It's a good tool and can become even better with more drivers on it.

It's hard driving and reading the list it need to be bigger and bolder

The app keeps stooping when I need it. Also won't take cancel as an answer. Will keep asking for status of the scales near by over and over again until out of range. Also asks status of scales on adjacent highway when you can't even see the scales.

by X####:

Can't get past the log in. It logged me in initially. Then I went back and it's invalid user name and past word. It also won't pull up cities on the scales closest with in 200 miles do to cities I try to program in and says no location.

On my Samsung galaxy pro 12.2 tablet this application always starts with a view of the whole world (not just the usa). It asks me about scale statuses of scales I will never see, insistently - like 3 times in a few miles if you don't give it an answer you don't (and couldn't possibly) know. It hijacks my screen from my GPS program and then immediately turns off the screen completely, so I have to hit the home button and swipe to open just to see that it's asking me a scale status I'll never know. If you bring this program up on the CB radio, most people agree it's crap and it's broken and no one cares to fix it. To me it feels like they are loosing users, over this, which makes the program even more useless.

It works great 70% of the time. It force closes some times when I leave it on in the background and it's not my system killing it (on the excluded apps list). Occasionally it won't start up fast enough but that might just be Verizon screwing with my connection. Love it otherwise.

Otherwise, works well

I have been using this app for about 3 months the only thing I find that I do not like is that other drivers do not update the scales as they go by if everyone would get on board with updating it would be tops
