   Fun but not very useful. I can get all the same info and plot a trip on google map.

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Cost?. Why hide the subscription cost? Searched the site and the app. Ended up deleting

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Wow. Useless money grab. The description said one thing, and then within 10 minutes of planning my first trip, every simple promised activity was betrayed by a plea for an upgrade to make it happen. In short, I couldn’t plan one simple trip without being shaken down. Shame on you. App deleted.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Awful!. Did not work. Lots of bugs. Not waste your time.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Ruined with new update. I am on my hands and knees, begging you to please fix your app. Updating my review because the additional updates still don’t resolve the issue. You need to add the distance between stops in the reorder & group section and allow us to see the map while moving stops. It is impossible to plan a roadtrip with lots of stops when you can’t see the distance between each and where each stop is. When you’re reordering the stops, you’re just blindly doing so, with no rhyme or reason. This app is now completely unusable for its entire purpose. I’ve been using it for years and have so many routes. I am begging you to fix it. At least add the distance between stops in the reorder & group section or allow us to move around stops again on the main screen. I’m trying to plan a couple roadtrips currently and it’s very very difficult to do so

6. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

   Hate the latest update. I loved this app for planning normally this would be a 4 or 5 star app. But the new UI updates make it very hard to plan a route. As a simple operation try going back to the same place on a single trip and you can not. I have no way off adding a place if I search as I can only remove it. The reorder and group function is not intuitive and way too many clicks. Just please add a duplicate function or add again function.

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Useless without premium.. Aside from the potential to save and revisit a route, there is no functionality I can’t get from using Google maps without paying. Search along route function is limited to restaurants. All other search categories are locked. Used this app for all of about 90 seconds before realizing its uselessness and deleted my account.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Cant cancel subscription. Will not let me cancel.

9. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

   Early But…. The review was so good that I signed up for lifetime, MISTAKE. Cancelling because it needs a lot more developing to be of any use planning a trip! To be fair, made the decision pretty quick, like not even 30 minutes of use.

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Nothing. Literally provides nothing until you sign up, then demands premium before you can figure out if it will work for you. Not worth the hassle.

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Pass! Can’t Fully Try Before You Commit. I can’t fully commit to paying for premium if I can’t see what I am paying for. I need an app I can commit to for my trips. There’s not enough with the free version to make an informed decision. So I will go with the competitor RoadTripper. With that I can see what I am paying for. Too bad. I was open to trying something different from the usual. Unfortunately they lost me as a customer from the beginning. Maybe in the future they’ll change this and I can consider them for my next series of trips. Roadie if your reading this, please consider.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ugh. Free version is worthless. Maybe it’s better if you pay.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I don’t get it. What is the point of this app VS just going straight to Apple Maps? This still just takes you to Apple Maps and in fact makes it a lot less seem-less. Bugged I wasted my money because I forgot to cancel before trail was up and was charged for a full year. Not sure where they got all their good reviews.

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Lacking so many possible features. I’ve spent 15 minutes playing and find it way to lacking on everything. I cannot even find the way to read the step by step instructions for a route. Very minimal web site also. Not discussion that I see about the Premium at all. Not enough reviews to be rated after 3 years. I feel they need a macOS app as I prefer using a real keyboard and a larger screen display to plan my trips. Yes, the iPad app will run on an M1 Mac albiet in a tiny screen window. I'll stick with the great Road Trip Planner - far more features.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Nope. After easily installing, I had issues with the app. Mainly text and print not lining-up correctly. Deleted and will stick with Waze.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Terrible. I thought I would be able to put in multiple stops and build a itinerary but, I don’t think it allows and the app is not user friendly.

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    PAY to search for ANYTHING other than food place.. Not paying for an app that you can't try first.

18. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    GPX imports not working. I was hoping to import a trip into this app hoping to use some of its features, but all I get is an error. Tried several different trip files and restarting ect, but nothing has worked. Wish I could get the $30 bucks back.

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Cannot see things along the route- do not pay. Very disappointed the the paid version of this app. I was hoping to use the app to plan ahead and see stops to add along the way. We are going from texas to Florida, I mapped the route, clicked hotels and it showed a group of hotels in north Arkansas (a state we are not even entering). The companies soliton is too zoom in, piece by piece rather being able to conclusively plan the trip, we have too basically look 4-5 times but by bit. There is not way better than any free app such as Google Maps to plan a route. In fact google maps actually shows things “along the route”.

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not worth it. Hard to navigate, adds stops out of order and you can’t change them. It’s impossible to sort out. Canceling

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Hard to add to route. Can’t find and add stops, can’t get alternative routes for entire trip.

22. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Kind of useless without Premium. We downloaded the app to find scenic routes, and interesting things along the way. Attractions, Gas Stations, Campsites, Hotels, Parks, etc. are all behind the paywall. Without purchasing the premium subscription, it’s a less useful map app.

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Another not-truly-free app. I hate that so many apps these days say they’re free but once you start trying to maneuver around the app, you find out you can’t do much of anything without paying some monthly or annual fee.

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Free version useless. When I opened the app, it grabbed a location near me from GPS and made it my home location. When I attempted to change it to my actual address, I was prompted to upgrade to the full version to be able to do so. Really? How are you supposed to plan a trip without setting a starting point? Failure to be able to change even the most basic information without paying for the full version renders the app unusable to me. I can understand that adding locations, or notes, would require an update to the full version, but preventing a user from setting up a basic profile is pretty unforgivable. Deleting this app immediately!

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Unsatisfied - not user friendly. This is not a very good user friendly app and I wish I had never purchased it!!!! Sad :-(

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Roadie. Downloaded the free version, worthless, doesn’t make me want to pay for upgrade, put locations in bizarre order, making the trip twice as long as needed, says you can tap and drag to change order of places? How? Guess you have to pay? Useless!

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesn’t Work as Stated. The app says it works on iPad and iPhone. I downloaded it on my iPad. It wouldn’t orient itself with the iPad. It only works when the iPad is held vertically. My case prevents that. I then tried it on my iPhone X. I was able to creat an account.with no trouble. However, when I tried to actually use the app, it would send me to location services in settings. This continued even after I enabled everything for the app. I’ve defeated the app and will look for one that I can actually plan trips on.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    It literally doesn’t even navigate. It’s an app that just draws a line from one place to another, and you can add stops along the way. Not much else. If it does any of the other things- I can’t find out how because there’s like 6 buttons and the ui is bad.

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Pretty dumb app. It can’t even logically order your waypoints. I did a start point in WA and a destination in CA. As I added stops it had me bouncing back and forth between WA and CA then OR and back. It’s not smart enough to auto sort. Deleted.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Pay to share with friends. I would use this app over Google maps but they make you pay just to invite your friends to your map which is kinda stupid considering that majority of the times you are going to want to share with friends
