made me feel less lost!!!!!!!

I used to spend half my practice trying to figure out where to drive 😅. RouteBuddy sorted that out and made every drive feel more useful..

Love this! 😄 We’re so glad RouteBuddy helped make your practice drives more structured and less stressful. That’s exactly what we aim for: making it easier to focus on improving your driving rather than worrying about where to go!

Waste of money

Tried to practice test route. Satnav feature with car play is awful. Can’t send the route to google maps. It kept putting huge rerouting message on the screen even though I was perfectly on the route. Had to get passenger to manually navigate me using the route as a map. Then the route it had included a closed road which makes me doubt the validity of the routes. Complete waste of £13, I would like my money back

Thanks for your feedback. RouteBuddy is designed to provide accurate UK driving test routes, and many learners successfully use it with CarPlay. The rerouting messages and closed roads you experienced are usually due to temporary changes in road layouts or device/GPS settings, not the app itself. Routes are regularly updated to reflect current conditions. Please contact us at support@newdriveprogramme.com so our team can help troubleshoot and make sure the app works properly for you.

no more random practicee

Before this me and my dad would just drive wherever 😂 Having actual routes made every practice drive feel like it had a purpose.

Love this! 😂 It’s great to hear that RouteBuddy gave your practice drives purpose and structure. Being able to follow actual test routes really makes a difference in building confidence. Glad it worked so well for you!

made my lessons more useful :D

My instructor suggested we use RouteBuddy during a lesson and it actually worked really well. We spent more time improving my driving instead of deciding where to go..

Thanks for sharing! It’s great to hear that using RouteBuddy alongside your lesson helped make your practice more productive. The app is designed to let learners focus on improving their driving rather than worrying about which route to take, so we’re thrilled it worked well for you!

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.

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.

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.

Confusing at best

I paid the subscription and expect it to deliver.
It fell short, sometimes it lost the route, & kept saying rerouting which wasn’t super intuitive, while I did gleam some route information, which helped. I’m tempted to say on the value for money front, spend the money on another driving lesson to help practice technique as routes don’t mean that much.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the app didn't meet your expectations. We're actively working on improving the user experience to make navigation more intuitive. Your input is valuable, and we appreciate you giving RouteBuddy a try.

Quite good👍🏻

It’s good to have when you want the test routes to be read out and seen on a map, would’ve been better if the speed limit of the road is also on it. There is also a good amount of routes to try with (around 15 routes at where I’m having the driving test).

Can’t access the app

Bought the app and downloaded it this morning. I can’t access the app and have requested a password reset but haven’t received an email with a password link on it. Likewise, I didn’t receive the emails when purchasing the app which directed me to create an account and password. So far, not a great experience, and the email request for the password reset hasn’t been received either.

The best ever to pass your test

Must get this, you can practice the actual routes that will be used on your test. The App works well, the navigation is similar to Google maps. This made is possible for me to pass

So much potential but deeply frustrating

This app has everything but will mess you up badly at roundabouts. It does not say which exits to take and you’ll have to reply on the line on the screen to see where you have to go, and you’ll see that literally last minute by the time it’s already late.

The map is a bit slow if you’re used to using google maps and you have to plan a bit early to take turn left and right as map but you’ll get used to it. But the roundabouts! What on earth were you thinking?????

Terrible app

It does not have a trial version. After you subscribe you will notice how awful this app is. It does not navigate properly. Has a robotic voice, does not manage your screen lock and lock the screen even when you are running the app.
There’s no other way to try the app without subscribe. The app is not minimum functional without purchase. It should not have listed as a purchase app. Can’t navigate without purchasing. When I did I found how awful the app is.
