[QUOTE="0ssu, post: 5064146, member: 84986"] Not sure if there has been a thread made about this or not. I worked as a PVD last year and I'm doing it again. Last year I could get the app on my own phone but the entire app is a glitchy piece of :censored:. This year I'm using their phones and the issues are even worse. It takes me at least an extra 1-5 minutes per stop due to the app being slow, freezing, camera blurring, not scanning, etc. Today the navigation wouldn't work at all and I had to manually input the addresses I couldn't find into my personal phone to navigate. It also logged me out and wouldn't log me back in until I drove half an hour back to the center costing me over an hour of time. It was not uncommon for this to happen last year, I would guess about 20-30% of my work time was dealing app related issues instead of delivering packages. I had hopes that the app would be fixed as it naturally should have been by now, but it's worse. Is there anyone knowledgeable of the app or are there any fellow PVDs who can give me some pointers or information of how to mitigate these issues? Or at least let me know it's not just me or the phones at my center? Also can I not use my own device this year? My center said they don't think so. Overall I'm not surprised the app is trash, it probably is poorly integrated into their old school logistics system and basically thrown together when they created the PVD position. [/QUOTE]
