BATTERY CONSUMPTION
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Motus has been designed to limit GPS and battery usage, but we recommend charging your device while driving to extend battery power.

Why track location always?
CSainz55
A recent update requires the app to “Always track location” to be enabled to use. Why can’t we track only when app is being used? Moths doesn’t need to know where everyone is going when not using business miles.
This app is a battery leech!

Seriously, it’s bad enough that manual mode will always short you on milage, but this is quite possibly the single worst app I’ve ever used in regards to battery life on any phone. Motus + 20 minutes of talk time will kill a full battery in less than your work day. I seriously have to leave my phone charging in the car when relying on this app because the battery drain is so bad, thus defeating the purpose of having a cell phone. Meanwhile, without the app running at all, my phone battery lasts all weekend long.
Is there lower than 1 star?

Bottom line.. manual mode on an iPhone does not work. Period! Frustrating! Fix the app
Hate this but have to use for work

Every time there is an update, it just spins and spins so I can't get rid of the red notification. Get this garbage fixed.
If I could give 0 stars I would.

This app is awesome when it works. Unfortunately it rarely works correctly. The helpless desk at Motus is, well, helpless. YOU are not their customer. The company paying the bill is the customer so motus doesn't care about you. They will not fix anything.
MOTUS does not care about their customers

My bank account information was stolen so I had to shut down the bank account and open a new one. My MOTUS payment covers my car payment (the car that I only have for this specific job) and my gas money to do my job. This payment is received by me on the 15th of every month. Now MOTUS says they will smip this payment and add it to my payment next month. MOTUS has refused to help me figure out a way to get the payment on time since they deem it as no fault of their own. Now I have to figure out a way to get enough money together to hopefully not lose this car that I have for my job. Clearly MOTUS does not care about their customers. Very poor service. I’m now stressed to the max over this. I have never missed a payment on anything in over 15 years and now I have to worry about my car being repo’d through no fault of my own. Once again.... It’s very clear to me that MOTUS does not care about their customers. The agent I spoke with said their manager has the ability to approve an out of cycle payment but would not because it was not MOTUS at fault. If they cared at all they would have at least spoke with me to see what had happened and why it was important to me. I encourage the company I work for to look for a better system than MOTUS to find a reimbursement program. Two thumbs way way down.
Battery killer

I’m required to have this app as part of my job unfortunately this App will murder your battery.
Terrible to use
Fjam1237
The app lacks simple features like the ability to reverse a trip. Instead you have to manually enter the return trip. Also, it consistently doesn’t load your saved locations. Amazing the creators of the app let it out in this state. The former Runzheimer program was far superior. Classic case of the bigger company purchasing the upcoming better competitor. Every day I use this and get frustrated.
Keeps asking if I want it to run, then shuts down without notice
Consumer 123444
Shuts down without telling me, I lost 2 weeks of mileage because of this. If my company didn’t force me to use this bad app I wouldn’t.
Was great but battery killer
RR151
The app often doesn’t start recording till about 5 miles from from start location. With new update it works and kills my battery in 9 hours. I have times set up for business hours and in middle of night it still getting gps information.
