## Description

WorkWave Route Manager is a mobile extension of the WorkWave Route Manager product designed to streamline routing for drivers. It builds optimal route plans that cut planning time, drive time, mileage, and costs, and enables real-time replanning to adapt to change. Route Manager 360 connects operations with drivers and supports rapid, constrained multi-vehicle routing and scheduling. 

Driver features include real-time routes, stop check-in/out, turn-by-turn directions, delivery status, barcode scanning for proof of delivery, and live GPS tracking with ETA. It also supports delivery notifications via email and SMS. Typical productivity gains include 20% drive time reduction, 30% mileage reduction, 25% cost reduction, and 22% increase in capacity. Note: continued GPS use in the background can decrease battery life. Schedule your demo at workwave.com/route-manager or call 800-835-9817 to get started.

## Review summary

Users report that while WorkWave Route Manager can be easy to use and save time on deliveries, stability, accuracy, and performance are problematic. Repeated crashes, forced logouts, and disappearing routes undermine trust. GPS and address data are often wrong or incomplete, making navigation frustrating. UI regressions from updates break controls (dropdowns and bottom buttons), and slow map loads worsen the experience on iOS. Several reviewers note missing core features (viewing depots in-app; adding stops on the go). When it works, the app is capable and helpful for routing.

### Pros

- Easy to use and straightforward UI.
- Gets the job done and can save time/money for deliveries.
- Performs well in unfamiliar routes and delivers spot-on routing when functioning.

### Cons

- Crashes, logouts, and routes disappearing (unstable app).
- GPS and address accuracy issues (wrong coordinates, missing/incorrect addresses).
- UI/UX regressions and broken controls after updates (dropdowns, bottom buttons).
- Performance slowdowns after updates / long load times on iOS.
- Missing core features (in-app depot viewing; adding stops on the go).
