The monetization strategy of the app is a mixed bag; while users appreciate the low cost of $2 to remove ads, many express frustration over the overwhelming presence of ads and the requirement to watch them to access certain features, including ride history. Some users feel that the app's functionality is compromised by these ads and paywalls, leading to a negative experience despite the app's potential. Overall, while the app is seen as a good value for its price, the aggressive monetization tactics detract from its usability.
- “I'm not complaining about the monetization.”
- “No ads and works well.”
- “They're pretty good about not doing microtransactions for every little thing.”
- “Also, even though I have all the advertising settings turned off, it still sends push notifications with ads, and the only way to disable them is to turn off notifications entirely for the app.”
- “However, after one update, the history of the ride becomes unavailable unless I watch some ads, and after another update, I can't get my data unless I buy premium.”
- “Riddled with ads, useless permissions, and paywalls, on top of a bad UI.”

Users report significant issues with optimization, noting that despite disabling battery optimization settings, the app fails to function properly unless the screen is kept on. The paid version does not enhance performance, and while some users find it effective in specific locations, overall battery management remains a concern.
- “Battery optimization is off as suggested by the app.”
- “It needs unchecking of battery optimization, which is a bit heavy on the battery, but otherwise good tracker.”
- “Perfect performance in the Tahoe mountains.”
- “Even after turning off all battery optimization, nothing.”
- “Paid version offered no improvement in performance.”
- “Saves absolutely nothing… battery optimization disabled, background activity enabled, locked in memory - doesn't work.”

Users express frustration with the story aspect due to the frequent interruptions caused by mandatory advertisements, which detracts from the overall experience and leads to excessive notifications on their devices.
