Garmin eLog™ Positive Reviews

Owner operatorI had lots of errors, then noticed the twist lock was not locked into all the way. You connect then plug then, there is a plastic nut that you twist all the way till it stop. Then I was unable to sign in, almost every day, the only way in was to register again as an administrator. I had lots of administrators, until I deceived to backup and disconnect\delete the app, and then reconnect|reinstall fresh! Everything went fine for 2days, until it happened again! You feel like you lost all your data, that’s how it is when you register for the first time..BeYou23Version: 7.70

Is an excellent deviceThe only has to improve, the option to modify is we was in the wrong operation for example if we was in duty intead of personal convenience or off duty, because sometimes forgot to change status and is imposible to modify the previous log.Boru40Version: 8.60

It doesn’t have hours of shift leftIt only has hours until break, hours of drive left, hours available tomorrow, and hours available in week. Nothing for how long until your 14 hours is up which is frustrating, it also changes to off duty sometimes when you were in off duty personal conveyance so when you start driving again it switches you to on duty driving. Otherwise a decent app I haven’t had any other problems..AsdcxfgtVersion: 6.90

Cost effectiveBest eLog out there. THE APP AND ENGINE PORT IS DOT COMPLIANT. I love it because I don’t have to pay a monthly subscription. Why do that when your driving info can be kept right on your phone or a flash drive. The eLog is great for owner operator who don’t have a fleet. DOT INSPECTIONS ARE A BREEZE. Your log recap is easily accessible from your phone..Repost-MasterVersion: 8.40

Garmin elogI have been using the device and app for at least two years and have found no issues or problems. Buy it once and no monthly payments. It’s more than paid for itself..HandyfreightVersion: 8.60

Loving the ExperienceLoving the app and it works great for what you need it for. The only thing that I don’t like is that when you’re out of hours you can’t explain that you’re trying to get close too a safe haven to park or do a reset..Zolo87Version: 8.50

Great product for priceThe adapter from time to time has issues connecting with the truck. But other than that this unit is great. I’ve been using it for just over 2 years and haven’t had any issues with DOT..Shithead707Version: 8.60

One year laterAfter using this for a year now I can say I’m content enough with it. It took me a while to figure out some of the operations but now I’m good with it. The yard move function automatically changes to driving status around 20 mph, you’ve been warned..MontanatruckerVersion: 8.50

Horror?Well I’ve read a few horror stories but this isn’t one of them! I’m have a great experience with mines and plus no recurring payments is the best part. Now if only they can kick it up a notch and do the state to state mileage and border crossings for fuel taxes then it will be supreme!.Rowcosta DaddyVersion: 8.60

Overall helpful appThe app works good. It’s free unlike most other ELDs. It does disconnect from the device (Garmin DEZL) I have and my phone more often than I’d like and it’s a pain to try to reconnect. Other than that it’s really simple to use and like I said before, it’s free..RujaworkVersion: 8.50

Could be betterIts doing great for me, the fact of no subscriptions payment is awesome, is easy to use, I recommend highly One last thing to improve: 14hrs shift is not there and would be perfect of we can see it along with the other clocks Thanks Garmin!!.Battery man !Version: 7.50

Garmin ELDHad to get this for myself. Haven’t been asked by DOT yet but seems to work just fine. Have had a couple issues, Garmin fixed a couple, still one ongoing. They’ll probably fix it eventually..Ghost135Version: 7.80

ElogThe app is not the most user friendly. It takes a little bit of a learning curve. However, for the price of the ELD and no monthly subscriptions it is worth it..Garmin ElogVersion: 8.60

Needs the Texas Intrastate optionIt doesn’t allow you to chose it to do the Split Log option. Also in Texas, we are allowed to do 15 hours On Duty, 12 Hours Driving, 8 Hours Reset.Underwood FreightVersion: 7.80

Owner operatorIt’s easy to use and I don’t have to pay monthly for service I bought it two years ago for $200 and have been using it since then.Abo azariVersion: 7.70

Jafri3212I’m so happy with this app I don’t have to pay nobody. I back up my data saved in my computer and I’ll set thank you very much Garmin I love you.Jafri3212Version: 8.60

ReviewI’ve been used by 3 years now, with the updates its getting better every time. Just buy it and connect to your personal device, that’s it. Simple. No monthly payment at all..JCHL5161Version: 7.80

Works great and easy to useI have been using this app for 3 months now and I so far so good. Juts make sure to make a fielder to save logs apart just in case.TalaveratalaveraVersion: 8.40

Add shiftEverything is good except “shift” timer. Developers add this feature to app. This will help to increase overall rating and usability. Everybody really need to see their work hours!.Roadpirate66Version: 6.91

Easy to useI’m using garmin Eld and it’s very easy to use and I can email my daily log and Pretrip inspection to my email for backup records.Jeff nehringVersion: 8.10

Garmin eLog™ Negative Reviews

Total crap!!!switch before you get in troubleEverything was great and I was happy as everything was going smooth but suddenly after my latest iPhone update my entire elog got reset and all my driver / admin info for lost. Not good at all Garmin. Then I switch using it with my new purchased Garmin dezl 780. Again it was working great as in the middle of my travel o lost all logs and ask to reset the driver. Like somebody intentionally removed all my logging info. I am here at loves in West Virginia amd going to get a paper log! Why shame Garmin what a shame . When I get home I start to look for a serious eld solution . Now I am considering to change to another platform..ChobakouVersion: 7.70

Piece of crapFirst the app would crash and I would have to Reenter all my admin and driver information, I was able to fix that by saving it a jump drive and back up data but then came the government audit and the CSV file wouldn’t upload to Garmin eLog Web Portal. Called support and they ‘created a file’ Leaving me hanging! Very Frustrating! Support said they were having a small amount of ‘cases’ and no one could help me that day. Do not buy this product! It’s a scam! Garmin needs to pull this product off the shelves!.Sammie78bVersion: 7.90

ClunkyI doubt they talked with many drivers when it came to the user interface. I found it to be clunky not very intuitive. I also believe it is a huge mistake to lock out the application until you buy and install the Bluetooth adapter. People want to test this type of app BEFORE dropping $150 on the adapter. Luckily I borrowed an adapter from a friend so I could tryout the app. I’m glad I didn’t waste my money on buying the adapter..DragunRyderVersion: 7.90

GarbageWords can’t explain how much I hate this app and the piece of junk eLog device. Ever since I’ve bought it and used this app it’s nothing but issues one after another. First off the eLog doesn’t even read my miles on my truck. Secondly I have times where it acts like it’s disconnected. Lastly this has happened more then once it wants to erase all my information with my logs and reports now I have to literally start over with new logs I have no driving history or nothing try explaining that to a Dot or cop.Seth_96Version: 7.70

OutdatedI have this garming Eld. App looks outdated. The features are outdated. You need a usb stick to get your data of the eld. Why can’t the information get save in the tablet automatically? I hate that weekly I’ll have to plug an usb to get my data of. When you edit a log date, driver needs to accept it, im tired of accepting it and it still there. Garmin really needs to address this issues and the outdated looks on the app.Ariel.hcs570Version: 8.50

Bad equipmentsIt’s a really bad equipments, why Because it’s disconnected from your truck with no reason and all data in it’s eld is disappeared and not any more available to review it This happens with me several times with no reason, I never disconnected it from my Truck and when that’s happened so you need to download garmin elog again and start over as a new user Not recommend.AtefbrkaVersion: 7.80

App keeps crashing and can’t recover filesMy driver needs a reliable eld with a functioning app, but this is not it. It works fine most days but then suddenly it forgets your login, logs you out, and keeps crashing not letting you access anything. My driver now has to reinstall the app and lose his past 7 logs. He has to risk being fined for not having the logs of the past week because of this unreliable app..Ruiztrans01Version: 7.10

Tired of thisUsed to work just fine but for the past 6 months I’ve been having to delete, re-install and restore the app from a previous back up because when I need to start my week the app won’t even let me login. 6 months and they haven’t fix this issue for iPhone. Looking for a different ELOG now..Rich ChVersion: 7.80

Not compatible with IPad Mini 6.IPad mini 6 is listed but is not actually compatible or available for download on the mini 6th gen. I bought the iPad because it was listed as working and I’m very disappointed in the lack of oversight on Garmin’s behalf. I need this for DOT compliance and now need to find an alternative solution. Heads up to anyone thinking of buying the iPad mini 6..Mendoza & sons truckingVersion: 8.00

Keeps deletingAbout every week it keeps deleting my account and I have to creat new ones and it’s very frustrating this morning when I logged in and drive after about an hour it said deactivated and again have to create a new account.Peektime transportVersion: 7.80

On duty deducts from drive time?Wondering why being on duty is taking away from my drive time? If I’m on duty, it should be taking away from the daily on duty time and not the drive time. When I finally am in driving, I’ve already lost whatever time I was in on duty from my drive time. Is there a fix for this?.Craig180Version: 8.50

App is brokenIt doesn’t work on my new iPhone but works on my old iPhone 5. Keeps crashing and deleting driver profile causing me to have to delete the app and lose logs and reinstall to set up driver profile again. The app needs to be fixed, completely broken..VinacovictorVersion: 7.70

Would not recommendThis ELD is not worth the money, it has many issues that go along with duty status as well as THE ELD KEEPS DELETING PREVIOUS LOGS AND YOU HAVE TO START OVER. This has happened to me twice, sure you can back them up but after EVERY SINGLE DAY? I’m supposed to sit in the truck more to back up my logs? No, I’ll be searching for a DIFFERENT ELD..Zombie25flayerVersion: 7.10

Lots of bugsIf you use a smart phone it often has trouble reconnecting to the unit once you get back into the truck. and the app constantly crashes, ive had to delete and re download it several times which causes you to lose all of your HOS logs. quite concerning in the event you are stopped by an inspector.Creatednickname23Version: 7.10

It’s a necessary evil.I am not impressed. It glitches frequently putting me on drive time when I’m not. Doesn’t keep track of the total daily hours. Making corrections is impossible. So when it glitches you are screwed.Schopen HaulingVersion: 6.91

Do Not Purchase!I was super excited to try this and from the beginning it’s been plagued with issues. Finally the last straw was that it wiped me out and forced me to recreate a new account so I lost 2 weeks of logs and their solution was well create a new account, backup daily, Wait for a patch or find a new ELD. Wasn’t even concerned..Jack31bVersion: 7.80

Deletes admin accountThis issue with deleting admin accounts needs tone fixed. Clearly I’m not the only one, and being unable to reliably use the device opens us drivers up to fines..RamonMaldoVersion: 7.80

No Canadian or Alaskan rulesets.If you are a driver that crosses the Canada/US border frequently, Garmin’s support page says to just track your own hours, even though the app’s going to throw violations at you. What a wonderful thing to show the scale officials during an inspection. “Oh sorry officer, my log doesn't support Canadian hours.” I’ve complained, expressed the benefit for their customers, and an edge over their competitors if they would add the missing rulesets, but each time receive a quick but form-letter response. I’d give them a 4 for a solid product, but for support, I have to give a 2..InnukwolfVersion: 7.10
