Misleading Premium Subscription

The description for the premium subscription implies that purchasing it will let you connect the app to your car via Bluetooth to obtain real-time telemetry for state of charge.

This is false.

Purchasing premium allows the app to work with OTHER apps, that work with ODBII dongles, which you ALSO have to buy and subscribe to. ABRP cannot connect to your vehicle on its own.

The purchase is therefore a bait-and-switch. You pay expecting to get a feature, but that feature doesn’t work, unless you pay even more to buy something else.

Additionally, the CarPlay UI is horrific and confusing. The map is ugly and jittery. Buttons are non-intuitive, and pushing them has irreversible consequences; you WILL wind up rerouting yourself to a non-optimal route while just trying to figure out where you’re going or change the map view. The voice callouts use the old assistive voices instead of your Siri voice.

Gut, aber nicht intuitiv

Tolle app, bietet bessere Planung als viele andere Apps. Allerdings nicht ganz intuitiv zu bedienen.

Zudem funktioniert die Funktion „Ladestationen entlang der Route“ nicht zuverlässig. Mal lädt es kurz ein paar Stationen, die sofort wieder verschwinden; mal wird nichts angezeigt. Wenn diese Funktion fehlerfrei läuft, platziert den Button dazu oben im Sichtfeld, nicht erst unten. So sieht den kaum einer und viele Fahrer interessiert genau diese Funktion. Und es fehlt dort noch die Einstellmöglichkeit des Radius‘ bzw Abstand zur Route. Die App changing time kann das besser. Wenn ihr schon deren Funktion abbilden wollt, müsst ihr mindestens gleich gut sein

Do not purchase - scam

I bought the premium subscription. yet the app itself states I do not have a subscription. There is no support from either Apple or ABRP. Complete waste of money.

Long trip!

Will write more later after I get home from my 3000 mile trip coming up shortly. I just finished 4000 miles and for the most part. I’m pretty happy with it, just put a dongle on and we’re trying to get it dialed in, but it looks pretty good.

Carplay’de kullanmak için premium satın al?

Uygulamayı deneyeyim dedim. Carplay’de kullanmak için premium almam gerekiyormuş. Çok basit hesaplar. Ürünü denemek için Satın almayacağım.

7.1.13: several bugs remain

The app has greatly improved but version 7.1.13 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.

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

CHEIO DE BUGS

Impossível adicionar veículo, ao clica ele fecha todo o aplicativo

Kullanmayan bilemez

Son 1 yıldır OBD cihazı ile birlikte kullanıyorum. Gerçekten hiçbir şekilde burada şarj cihazı varmıydı yada burayı gider miyim endişeniz yok. Sadece planlamayı yapın ve sürün. Yapanların emeklerine sağlık.

Disappointed with the app

Planned my first road trip using the app. A couple of the stops were spaced too far apart and exceeded the range. I have the app connected to the car and the specifications entered correctly. Generally it got me going in the right direction, but made me very nervous about the stops.

Harita Güncel Değil

Google Haritalardan Destek almanızı öneriyorum. Kesinlikle güncel değil. Yazlığıma şarj istasyonu kurdum. Konumunun olduğu yerde yol var ancak sizde yol görünmüyor. İşaretçi ile belirliyorum harita üzerinde arka sokağa atıyor planlamada. İşaretçi doğru yerde ancak planlamada arka sokak üzerindeki adresi gösteriyor. Ben Google haritalarına adresimi girdiğimde kapı numarasına kadar gösteriyor.

Peugeot e2008

Merhaba
E2008 aracımın bağlantısını yaptım be canlı veri bölümünde dış ortam sıcaklığı -40 olarak görünüyor onun haricinde bir sorun görünmüyor

Glitchy

Many of the features that it espouses to offer do not work very well. Such as; if you choose a preferred network it is all that it shows so more like exclusive network; on my most recent trip the map kept directing me to take an exit just to then get right back on the highway; routes are not customizable. I have a series of chargers I am familiar with on my route, but rarely can I enter those without the app totally rerouting me. I am cancelling my subscription, it’s more hassle to figure out than it worth. Google Maps will do just fine.

Don’t deviate from the app suggested route

Difficult to set exact route used.
Address system not exact. Eg wrong suburb, finds incorrect location. And chargers in the wrong location.

Still in beta phase as of October 2026

Still does things like take you 5 miles off the highway for a 40 kW charger, passing by a 200 kW supercharger on the freeway.

Subscribed but not working

I subscribed for 1 month,When I try to open in car play, again it asks for subsection. Even so many reminders on App Store they are not giving refund

Battery SOC % 4% out!

I find it staggering that despite alerting ABRP quite some time ago that a difference of 4% is less than ideal their response was “it is something that will correct itself over time”. Even more staggering is that after 3 plus years there has been no change! How simple would it be to give the user the ability to correct the difference between the Vehicle’s SOC and ABRP’s theoretical SOC?

En amélioration, mais quelques détails encore …

De mieux en mieux mais toujours pas de recherche vocale dans CarPlay ? C’est pourtant une question de sécurité …
Sur CarPlay en affichage multi-apps, la fenêtre qui montre le point de recharge devrait également montrer le statut des bornes disponibles/occupées.

Onbetrouwbare live navigatie

Een app die alles heeft wat electrische wagens nodig hebben. Alleen is een cruciaal element onbetrouwbaar: de live data bij het navigeren is onbetrouwbaar. Wat is het punt om een zeer gedetailleerde laadplanning te leveren wanneer files niet gedetecteerd worden? Telkens weer een frustrerende ervaring om ABRP te gebruiken maar eerst google maps op files te moeten checken.

Maps and navigation

Don’t know how people can say- good navigation!!??. I’m driving in town main road, you can see upfront is clear- no traffic whatsoever. For some reason ABRP decided to take me off the main road and used other routes because is the same time. What??? It’s just planning the route is very strange and doesn’t make sense. The only thing that makes different is that on the EV CARS shows battery %, but even that is right very rear. Speed limits is wrong also.
Honestly don’t know why should I use ABRP !???
