The most recent update for iPhone does not let me see the route on a map. Been thinking someone would say something before me. As for a suggested improvement….When picking up multiple orders from shipper… It would be helpful to be able to take pictures and make comments about the condition of materials of individual orders at pickup. I deliver building materials and I need the ability to show that I didn’t cause damages to material. For instance, broken drywall, ripped open concrete bags, lumber with forklift gouges. Of course, I guess the shipper would have to request that function be turned on and they may not want that.

The app alone is ok but can use improvement to benefit the user. The camera caption is fixed at a zoomed-in position and there is no option to adjust camera. You have to stand back to get the image in full frame. When you take the photo in landscape view it zooms in even more and there is no way to change it. This was not the case a few months ago but someone thought this change was important. Taking photos upon completion of the installation and delivery is the most important part of using the app.

Need a fix for Apple version to allow adjustment of the orientation of a picture. I have to hold my IPhone in landscape position to get a portrait orientation. Also suggest a feature to allow drivers to email themselves a summary of the trip at the end for payroll purposes . Drivers often have to keep such records manually to make sure they get paid properly. The summary should include the trip number, miles, stop information-name & location and number of stops, any pay notes entered. Obviously It doesn’t need anything confidential like BOL images or proprietary customer info.
