Cannot select Custom Vehicle in Route planner
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.

Terrible
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.

A Worse Routeplanner (AWRP)
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.

Buggy
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.
Sounds like a great app… until…
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.
Nope
Current location and battery level are correct… So I input a destination address, hit enter and nothing happened.
Impossible to use iPhone
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.

7.1.5: several bugs remain
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.

Does not filter out unreliable stations
We were stuck plugging into level two chargers down US Highway 50 through Nevada, because the app routed us to unreliable chargers.
Unable to search for a destination
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
Buggy, no support
Can't log in with existing password, can't reset it because reset e-mail never arrives, support plays dead.
Complete junk. Want my $5 back.

Requires an account
Searching for locations does not work and you cannot plan routes without creating an account.
Used to actually Work
Last couple of updates has broken many features. 7.1.5 is now totally broken. I can’t type in to destination fields. App doesn’t seem to be working with GPS. Screen just rapidly flashes. I have used this since 2021 but am unable to get it to work now.
Still bad after all these years
Yes, it does route plan, route to chargers, etc, pretty well. But GPS guidance is still pathetic. As others have pointed out it falls behind, loses track of where it is, I’ve even had the map completely disappear in CarPlay. Hard to believe it’s still as bad as ever as an actual driving aid. Shame.
Self inflicted wounds
Recent updates have made the app more buggy. GPS lags and sputters. Display color scheme decided to do its own thing. Nav voice unmuted itself.
What happened??
This used to work flawlessly!! Have the premium and the OBII as well. My last three trips have been WAY off! Today it said I could make it 76 miles further than my battery go could. Not sure what they are doing!! Everything is way off and used OBII and without and ZERO difference.
It used to be better
I don’t know what happened recently to this app but it used to be great. Now it seems to have gone downhill in the past year with really flaky ux. Screens freeze, there are frequent hangs when I look up alternate routes, and it just ignores route selections at times.
The ux has also become pretty unintuitive. Like when I try to select next charger, it keeps selecting the same charger. Then I have to cancel my route, mark the charger as do not use, then I have to re plan after removing my previous stops.
I also can’t connect premium features like Enode

SoC indication while navigating is always off/incorrect
The app works wonderfully but when I set the state of charge of my car before starting the navigation, when the navigation starts the state of charge indicated is always off. For example my car is charged to 50% and when I start the navigation it will say it’s only at 31% for seemingly no reason.
Hit and miss
Sometimes it seems to work well. I love being able to plan charging on long trips. But this last time I noticed all sorts of issues. From freezing while navigating to incorrect speed postings and just general issues with proper route selection. Might be time to seek out another product.
Great for planning, not so much for navigating.
The good: This app has taken ALLOT of anxiety out of making trips in our EV.
The bad: Even with solid cell service, it frequently gets behind or looses where it is all together. The blue guidance line often goes missing at complex intersections (!!) and the speed limit indicator routinely fails to up date, with 70mph displayed though 30mph city zones. We’ve had to pull over numerous times to confirm our route in Google Maps.
