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?

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 !???

Sensacional

Excelente e muito útil!!!!! Ajuda muito!!!!!!

Won’t open after update 7.1.8

Just updated to the latest version and now the app doesn’t open. Before that, I found it to be somewhat slow to use.

app crashes upon opening

newest update crashes the app immediately upon launch. using an iphone 13 pro on ios 17, the previous version of ABRP worked fine. now it's unusable :(

Speed limit broken for months

Speed limit has been stuck on 70mph for months. Several tickets placed with no fixes.

Bad navigation and integration

I paid for the app before doing a 600 trip n Subaru Trailseeker. The car was listed n the app as available, and it thought that I’m all set. Nope, there is no OBD integration, having car listed doesn’t mean anything. GPS navigation was off by a street multiple times. App was erasing manual battery settings and replacing it with fully charged battery after each stop, then telling me that I don’t need to charge. It panning is ok, but using it for driving felt I had half baked product from 2005.

Impossible to get route details

I don’t want to blindly follow a route. I want to see which charger stops it picked. There is no way to see a route overview- distance/stop /charger speed etc.

it also picks bad,slow, or poorly reviewed chargers.

Please add vehicle/ route costing

Please add Porsche Taycan GT and Taycan GT Weissach

Can you bring back charging costs and total with a custom pricing for each station in case the cost/KWh is wrong

No good

It doesn’t tell you till after you buy the subscription that it won’t work if you don’t have a subscription with the manufacturer. Then they take your money and run

Não consigo cadastrar veículo

Não consigo cadastrar o carro. Eu toco e não vai

Great App, But…

The app on iPhone is great however I wasted money on the subscription to use CarPlay. It doesn’t return to your route without having to use your phone, very laggy to update and relies heavily on data connection. Stick with iOS app and that is great.

Progressively Getting Worse and Worse

The developers of this software actually need to use it. Over the past three years each update gets worse and worse. To the point where today it’s functionally broken. Can’t even add a vehicle and plan a route. Please return this app back to the stable and useful version it was three years ago. Shame on the developers for letting this app become so useless for what was at one point the benchmark in EV route planing.

Discontinued my subscription

I used a BRP on my trip to New Jersey. And it was during that trip that I realized there’s just too many things missing in the routing and how it routes that make it tough to use. An example I had to transition from I-95 to I-287 in Northern New Jersey. It put me in totally the wrong lane through the tollbooth and I wasn’t able to make the transition. By comparison in using the built-in navigation on my Mustang.Mach-E it does a much better job turns and exits. We are multiple lanes are involved. Also, the audio instructions are incomplete in my opinion. It needs a speech input to make changes while in route. Clearly the product has some very nice features just not enough at this time to keep using the product.

Dangerously inaccurate data

While I like the route optimization the app consistently misquoted posted speed limits. Apple & Google maps and my onboard VW apps all posted speed limits that accurately reflected roadside postings. At one point I was directed onto a bridge which was closed for construction! This bridge has been closed for some time yet its status was not reflected on its routing. This lapse in data delivery is both disappointing and dangerous.

Worst purchase of the App Store

I’ve taken half a trip with this app and so far it’s taken me off the freeway twice for no reason costing me 20 minutes of detour. Both times it just put me right back on the freeway but no traffic etc to justify it. Second time the on-ramp was closed so I had to backtrack 5 miles.

It can’t get my charge or range right so almost left me stranded if I hadn’t manually intervened. It’s almost 10% off on the readings. It’s insane.
