    For those with iPhones and using the Pilot/J App ...

    If you recently installed an update to the Pilot/J app , you may have issues with the locater (GPS) function operating continuously even when the app is not active (and even if the app is shut down) you are having this issue when you see the "arrow" in the upper right corner of the home screen and it stays on. This will quickly run down your battery.

    Only way I could rectify this was to un-install the app, then re-install. Now all is well.

    I'd be more worried about the application hacking into my banking app and slowly filtering money out...I don't trust their pizza, their salads, much less an app on my phone.

    Assuming it's identical to the Android App.
    It can tell you where they are.
    Keep Track of Points/Showers
    Fuel Prices.

    Tells you if they have a Dennys or better yet Subway or whatever other Fast Food Joint.

    Loves, Pilot, Petro/TA all do basically the same thing as mentioned above, as well as list the size of the parking lot (spaces), fax numbers, current store and restaurant specials, and lists all the other amenities.


    No reason not to have all three, regardless android or iOS and be sure to register your rewards card.

    Pilot's app doesn't list the fax #s. What the heck is that about?
