### 3/5 — Cannot select Custom Vehicle in Route planner

*2026-08-19, version 7.1.5*

After creating a custom vehicle due to my new model vehicle not being listed, the custom car cannot be used in the route planner. Despite it being the selected vehicle, it does not appear in the planner which repetitively asks for a car to be selected again. Just another bug I guess. Have requested my new model car be added to the list. The app seems well designed otherwise.

### 2/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-19, version 7.1.5*

If I try to change anything, the display constantly flickers and is unusable.
No integration with Contacts
Trying to enter a destination is not intuitive.

### 2/5 — A Worse Routeplanner (AWRP)

*2026-08-18, version 7.1.5*

Use PlugShare instead! ABRP has really gone down the toilet the past few years. Can’t use ABRP w Android Auto or Apple CarPlay unless you have a premium subscription (Good luck figuring THAT out; the interface is so obtuse that you can’t GIVE  them your money). PlugShare works beautifully with both Android Auto and  Apple CarPlay for FREE. ABRP keeps inexplicably  disconnecting navigation while you’re driving without even notifying you (surefire way to get yourself stranded w a dead battery). PlugShare never disconnects. ABRP’s interface is a nonsensical mess; whereas, PlugShare’s is pleasantly intuitive. Enough said.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2026-08-17, version 7.1.5*

Tried to used multiple times and the app is flipping out. Entered an address and the app won't resolve. Open a saved route and the app freezes in a flicker. Saw some good reviews but seems to have some issues.

### 1/5 — Sounds like a great app… until…

*2026-08-16, version 7.1.5*

The idea of the app is great, but it doesn’t actually allow you to plane a route. I’m sure it’s just an app issue at the moment. But if this is how it works the first time installing.. then Thanks but No thanks.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2026-08-16, version 7.1.5*

Current location and battery level are correct… So I input a destination address, hit enter and nothing happened.

### 1/5 — Impossible to use iPhone

*2026-08-16, version 7.1.5*

Whenever clicking on any charge station on map or on route, the app screen flickers rapidly and relentlessly. The web version certainly doesn’t do this. Also the app will not accept any address (city, state or full street address) for route planning. Literally nothing happens when you enter an address.

### 4/5 — 7.1.5: several bugs remain

*2026-08-15, version 7.1.5*

The app has greatly improved but version 7.1.5 seems to only use current location when sharing the plan with Google Maps, making this feature effectively unusable for planning. The issue is not present when sharing plan with Apple Maps.
For example, if I plan a London-Edinburgh road trip but live in Norwich, ABRP tells Google Maps that departure of the trip is from Norwich instead of London when the plan is shared with Google Maps.

There is another bug: details of charging locations are not displayed anymore once they’ve been bookmarked. Clicking on the location only displays “dropped pin”

Please fix.

Also, just like you can send the journey defined with ABRP to Google Maps or Apple Plans, a great addition would be to be able send a trip planned in Google Maps or Apple Plans to ABRP to tweak it in terms of chargers etc.

Another suggestion: could you please keep a list of the chargers excluded in the “Charging settings”, so that they can be included again more easily if need be?

Keep up the good work. It pays off. App ratings have improved. Thanks.

### 2/5 — Does not filter out unreliable stations

*2026-08-15, version 7.1.5*

We were stuck plugging into level two chargers down US Highway 50 through Nevada, because the app routed us to unreliable chargers.

### 1/5 — Unable to search for a destination

*2026-08-14, version 7.1.5*

Basic premise of a route planning app should be the ability to search for a destination. Unfortunately for this one, with all filters cleared it is unable to show any destinations. Awful
