Review summary

User reviews consistently criticize TRUCE for being intrusive and power-hungry. Major issues include persistent permission prompts and location/Bluetooth always-on, leading to privacy concerns and battery drain. Many report unstable performance, slowdowns, crashes, and unreliable behavior. A lack of true off-duty mode causes continued activity off the clock. Some note conflicts with Android Auto and maps, including inability to answer calls. A few reviews acknowledge it aids driver awareness and is easy to use under constraints, but overall sentiment is negative.

Pros

Totally helps maintain driver awareness instead of recording unwanted calls.
Easy to use, with a restricted set of allowed apps (navigation apps and a few others).

Cons

Intrusive permissions and privacy concerns: constant requests for location and other data; perceived tracking.
Drains battery and keeps Bluetooth/GPS on all the time, including outside of work.
Unstable/buggy: slows device, crashes other apps, and displays permission prompts repeatedly.
Lacks true off-duty mode: app stays active when not driving, feeling company-enforced and hard to disable.
Interferes with driving and essential apps: cannot answer calls on Android Auto; maps can drop out or get kicked out, causing distraction.

2024-10-30	Se*****	App cannot handle two phones connected to android auto. Will not allow me to answer phone calls on android auto while I am driving, and automatically cuts off the call when answered.

2024-07-16	wi*****	put this on for my personal phone so I can take it with me because my wife is pregnant. it was ALWAYS on, if you tried closing it or anything it would constantly tell you it needs activated and it needs permission for all aspects of the phone! And it CONSTANTLY wants to have access to your location! But they claim that it doesn't track you or take any information. Seriously do not trust it.
