Doesn't fully support 5th wheel setups. It lets you specify a 5th wheel for your trailer but all weight specifications mention tongue not pin/hitch weight. When trying to specify the pin weight as the tongue weight it states "value is too high to be realistic" and I must specify it as a % which is not accurate since it is in .5% increments. Then it incorrectly calculates that as a % of tongue weight and not payload capacity.

Thanks for flagging this, and sorry for the frustration. We’ve corrected the pin-weight entry restriction and fifth-wheel terminology for the next update. You’ll be able to enter your measured pin weight directly, with clearer guidance on how it counts toward your tow vehicle’s payload and relates to hitch limits.

To expensive, $30 p/yr really for an app I'd only use once a year, and to get full info of your Rig set-up you have to pay - very unprofessional. Older app atleast you could see your basics easily to understand. sorry no way.
Developer reply
Ken, the free version offers more than the old app ever did: check any tow vehicle and caravan combination, simulate loading and compare setups, with no account. Pro maps your rig’s unique load distribution and centre of gravity, checks compliance and stability, and tracks maintenance, because staying legal is only part of towing safely.

Love the new and feel of the new GUI. Can you please fix when adding a picture in the Garage it's extremely pixilated that having no picture looks better than having anything. I love everything else though.
Developer reply
Thanks for taking the time to give us a review Matt, and thanks for flagging the image issue with us! That's all fixed now and is live in build 113. Feel free to reach out again if needed! Cheers, Rhys

Wish I could ho back into time and have the non complicated version of the app
Developer reply
Thanks for taking the time, and I'm sorry v2 feels heavier than the old version, that's genuinely not what we were going for. We have a complete guide at docs.loadmate.io that may helpful for you, but if the new layout is getting in your way, I'd really like to know exactly where, drop me a line at rhys@loadmate.io and I'll personally help you.

very good guide for your vehicle and caravan, especially great to know things before you spend on your dream caravan, only to find that you have to buy a new vehicle 😀

This is an excellent app. I have tried a few online calculators to compare with my own Towing Spreadsheet but this app has all the right inputs to get a more accurate result.
Developer reply
Thanks so much, Ricky! We're thrilled to hear the app met your expectations and held up well against your own towing spreadsheet. If you have any ideas for improvements, feel free to share. Safe towing and thanks again, your feedback means a lot!

The first time I used it it was OK but I got different results from my spreadsheet. I went back into it and you cannot edit your data beyond a certain point, you just get bombarded with full-screen ads that stop you. I am about to remove it which is a shame as the concept is good and I might very well have bought the paid version if I had any confidence in it. But as it stands, stay away
Developer reply
Hi Peter, the free version exists to give a taste of LoadMate, ads and limits included. We’re not a big corporation; we rely on fair pricing to keep building useful tools. Rating us 1 star because we don’t give it all away for free is unfair and unhelpful.

Awesome tool for managing weight distribution in our new van and tow rig! It has seriously saved what's left of my sanity and helped us not only understand what is necessary for compliance but also safety. its particularly great for keeping on top of how weights change while you are travelling as you add/remove loads and makes it easy to do whatif scenarios in the app before you start moving things round in the van/car, lastly the support has been top notch. Highly recommend!
Developer reply
Hey James – really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! It’s been awesome helping you get set up, and I’m stoked to hear LoadMate’s made a real difference on the road. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything — safe and happy travels!
★★★★★Nix Enquev7.324 Feb 2025
Good idea. Unfortunately, all too often poorly executed. Free version is very limited to extent of being nearly useless. Coupled with no response to Go Premium option, I removed app. 2 chief failings: 1. I added the minimal load as trial. Then I found it could not be altered or even deleted. 2. Go Premium option didn't work, so I can't decide if it is worth a trial, nor how much does it cost. I feel not enough thought in design of free version to allow features to try and perhaps tempt me.
Developer reply
Hi Roy, thanks for the detailed feedback and for engaging with us directly. We've since resolved the Premium screen issue and understand the frustration. Appreciate you giving LoadMate a go, and we hope the recent changes offer a better experience if you return.
