## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-12-05*

None of the functionality stated in the user guide works.

### 2/5 — UI bugged

*2020-07-27*

Didn’t seem to work...  user interface bugged

### 3/5 — Not practical for real-world TSPs

*2022-02-06*

I downloaded this because I wanted to provide a real world list of destinations and solve the resulting TSP. Frustratingly, the app does offer this capability somewhat: you can add points on a map by long-pressing them, but not by just providing the name or address!

Please make this practical to use by simply providing a search box to add destinations!

### 3/5 — Nice but needs save option!

*2018-05-23*

Would be 5 stars if I could save images!

### 4/5 — Good... but sometimes hard to read menus

*2023-08-22*

I think that this will be an excellet tool for demonstrating what the Traveling Salesman Problem is.

I find, though, that the menu is very hard to read because of the color palette used; I can hardly see the menu selections.  Would be great if there was a way to make them show up better regardless of the color palette chosen by the system.

### 4/5 — Amazing and Fun

*2013-01-06*

This is really a lot of fun to play around. My only problem is the "Germany 120" data set.  22 years after the reunion it still has only cities from West Germany!?!  Seriously?  Could you not find better data or is this a political statement?  Maybe you should add a set of only Confederate States of America?

### 4/5 — Great gee whiz app

*2012-02-15*

This is an absolutely state-of-the art *exact* solution of the TSP ported to the iPhone.  

I wish it has a graphic interface for entering your own problems.  That would make it 5 stars (I think the PC version has one).

### 5/5 — This is amazing!!!

*2022-08-22*

It takes a little learning time, playing with the settings, but it's not hard at all. It's absolutely amazing how easy it is to use once you get the hang of it.

Personal tip, I found it easier if you go into editing software to remove the background. I played around with some coloring book photos and they came out very easily.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2020-05-05*

Awesome!

### 5/5 — For education and fun!

*2015-11-13*

Exact solutions to the traveling salesman problem have driven the development of integer optimization for a long time. This app provides a beautiful, fun to watch, visualization of the run of such a process. Maps can be generated randomly, read from the Internet, or chosen from some built-in examples.

As an extra, photos from your iPhone can be turned into exciting line art!

The current version has many illustrative animations that can help students understand complex combinatorial algorithms visually.

### 5/5 — math is fun!

*2013-08-01*

who would have thought?

### 5/5 — This is great

*2013-06-03*

This is great. I have to sell a lot of things every day. To do that I travel from door to door, from city to city and I hate visiting the same place time. I also want to get back home in the end. This app does all of the above and more. It's got pretty pictures.

### 5/5 — So amazing

*2013-03-24, version 1.3*

I never realized that the Concorde could be so fast. It blows my mind!!

And so many other algorithms to look at

Than you for this

### 5/5 — Tsp

*2012-12-01*

Nice app

### 5/5 — Go Jackets

*2012-09-05*

Unsurprisingly, cool.

### 5/5 — TSP on iPhone is amazing

*2012-08-30, version 1.2*

For anyone who knows about the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), this is an amazing app: it allows you to solve TSPs on your iPhone, using the state-of-the-art TSP solver.  It would make a great demonstration of the power of optimization for many math classes.  Also, the dual solutions are colourful and pretty, and the tours from photos are very cool.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-04-22*

This is proof their is "an app for that"

Can't believe my eyes that someone made this app. Awesome
