It is a very good application, and I’m genuinely impressed by how accurate the trip timings are. The only area I feel could be improved is the location/navigation feature. When I mark one stop as “Done,” it automatically takes me to the next stop, which is great. However, when Zeo sends the next destination to Google Maps, it does not always communicate the exact address accurately. Improving this would make the experience even better.

Being a courier this app is great value. Although a few points….. doing 100+ stops a day, it would be great if pressing the done button had a bit of a delay. Sometime accidently press it twice without noticing and then find out i missed a few stops at the end of the day and have to go back. Also s…

The perfect routing app for me! I praise the developers and all those involved for keeping this app free at 15 deliveries. I usually have about 12 deliveries daily. I am new to the delivery business and this app makes things so simple that I may take on more work and gladly pay the yearly fee for the 500 deliveries tier. I think of this app as my coplilot, truly a joy to use daily. 6 stars!!!

Installed and used this app while performing disaster assessment for a large national non profit asstance agency during the New Jersey hurricane Ida disaster. The job required that I drive to various addresses all over the state on a daily basis. The app allowed me to get to more destinations while minimizing driving time, hence speeding assistance to the clients.
