HONK Partner 4+

Make the app capable of turning into landscape mode so it will work on a sideways iPad that is mounted. I’m not going to re-mount my iPad and app is hard to use sideways. Also, allow multiple logins so it can ring my phone when I’m out of the car and iPad at same time while I’m driving or in the car. Multiple logins would also allow me to take pictures/video on my phone when out of the vehicle without taking the time to unstrap my iPad. Also add a profile settings tab so a driver is able to update a phone number or other personal info. Customer service is impossible without a phone number so the app needs more options. Other than the above suggestions, Honk is great to work with and I’m happy to be a provider.

The app requires you to have location services set to “always available” so they can track your location and see when you arrive to a job, but they fail to mark you as “on scene” when you get to a job. You can also only mark a job complete after “arriving on scene” so if they fail to mark you on scene and you perform the service you can’t mark it complete. Once complete you can call and let them know the service was complete, but you will be 5-20 minutes “late” on your ETA which will affect your provider score. The advantage of this app is they’re the newest motor club and technologically the most advanced, but all the old school clubs use towbook which blows honk out of the water on user interface. Yes you can connect honk to towbook however if they call to offer a job it will not be received on towbook, only through the honk app, resulting in issues. I hope honk will fix these issues, but reviews from years ago would suggest they will not. Great concept; horrendously executed.

This app is the worst it makes your phone have the most annoying nonstop car honking sound and you are unable to change it and it goes off all hours of the day and night. I think 99% of the jobs that you are notified with are fake to make it look like customers are in need of help to get you to use the app. It shows a lockout is less than one mile away and I can be available right away but the jobs are never given. The very few times a job is received payment is never a issue but the payout to do a lockout on a Sunday at 3am is around $30 so I’m not using this app any more. They require you to pay and signup for a massive amount of insurance to do business with them but only pay $30 for a job and only one job every four months.
