Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I've been paying for the subscription for a while, and everything worked great until two weeks ago. The app freezes completely and becomes unusable. I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled it several times, but the issue continues. At this point, I may have to cancel the subscription because I can’t work with the app like this.

I’ve used Hammer for about two years and it’s saved me more times than I can count. I’ve even jumped on their subscription (you get the whole app for free I just subscribed to help the dev team). Starting this past Monday though, it keeps crashing and today I couldn’t even open the app, just instant crash.
Nate All In
This app is not well programmed! Whoever is responsible for routing and height updates is ultra conservative and not efficient to reduce travel time and Bridge heights. It has its good points but as a Trucker who has to watch both height and routing don't ignore your instincts!
