App is “meh”
I downloaded this for a bike trip around the dikes of the North Sea. As well as being a real battery hog, there are a number of other deficiencies:
- if there are more than 1 route between points, you can’t choose
- if you do choose a different route than the “default” between points, you can’t adjust
- no way to quickly navigate for the specific points you already went through on an in-progress trip
- advertising keeps popping up and way to easy to accidentally touch it
- can’t adjust an in-progress trip
Wouldn’t use again for my next trip.

Great app which can still be improved
I use the Plus version which is great value for the money. In general the app works very well and we got great use out of it during a 700 km tour around the Netherlands. Some areas for improvement:
> When you skip a knooppunt while en route (for example due to a detour), the app tends to hang at the last planned knooppunt prior to the one you skipped. Sometimes you can force it to catch up by using the pause function, but that doesn’t always work.
> There is no way to edit a route on the fly once you have started. Sometimes you feel like adding a spur or extra loop while riding, but editing is not possible.
> There is no way to edit the middle of a saved route (even when not riding). You always have to delete knooppunten from either the end or (by reversing the route) from the start.
Despite these potential improvements, I like the app a lot. I love the integration with the web version.

Must have App for anyone visiting Holland to cycle or walk
This is an amazing app. Just wish the UK ahead a similar one. If you want safe enjoyable cycling on dedicated cycleways then visit Holland.
Don’t forget the Netherlands may be flat but it is also windy so take that e-bike.
