This update includes: • Improved turn-by-turn navigation reliability, with fewer false rerouting interruptions during driving test route practice • Reduced device heat and battery drain during longer sat nav and GPS navigation sessions • CarPlay improvements, including clearer speed and route information on screen • Added a mute control for easier voice guidance management while following driving test routes • More reliable screen switching when CarPlay is already connected before starting navigation • Clearer off-route alerts on your phone and CarPlay, helping you stay aware when practising test routes • Fixed a layout issue on the manoeuvre list screen • General navigation stability improvements for a better driving test routes app experience

Pathetic

I purchased this app based on the positive reviews, but unfortunately it hasn't met my expectations. The overall performance feels quite slow, navigation can be confusing at times, and the app doesn't feel as polished as I had hoped. There are some useful features, but the user experience could be improved significantly. I hope future updates address these issues.

didnt expect much but worked great

I didn’t think it would help that much, but it really did! The routes were clear and updated, and it helped me practise for the real test day.

Thanks for the great feedback! We’re so glad to hear RouteBuddy exceeded your expectations and helped you practice the real test routes. It’s great to know it made such a difference for you. Best of luck on the road ahead!

Awful app - and reviews being moderated?

This app behaved abysmally, to the point of wanting to hurl the phone out of the car with the garbled instructions and meaningless roundabouts, overlapped directions, and use of the awful "Here" back end when Apple Maps exists.

The developer even responded, but then I notice it is asking me for a review again - presumably, because they had the old one removed for the low rating.

Expensive, low-quality app and can't stand by their bad reviews as well as good? Trust is everything.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. RouteBuddy is designed to provide structured, guided practice routes and is used by many learners preparing for their tests. The app uses a dedicated navigation system to reflect test-style driving rather than standard sat nav behaviour, which may feel different to some users. We do not remove, edit, or moderate reviews in any way. App store reviews are managed by Apple. Developers cannot remove or edit reviews directly. If a review is no longer visible, it may be due to the platform’s moderation policies, not us. If you’d like assistance with your setup or experience, please contact support@newdriveprogramme.com.
