We spent more time improving my driving instead of deciding where to go.. **Developer response:** 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! ### 5/5 — actually super helpful <3 *2026-06-11, version 167* Didn’t think it’d be much help but it really was. Easy to use and made my practice a lot less stressful.. :) ### 5/5 — decent app for learners... *2026-06-10, version 167* Not perfect but really useful. Gave me a better idea of the roads and helped me feel ready for the test.! ### 5/5 — actually super useful *2026-05-26, version 167* Didn’t think it would do much but it helped loads. Easy to use and gave me a real sense of the test route layout.... ### 5/5 — simple and does the job.. *2026-04-27, version 165* It’s not complicated which I liked!! Easy to follow and helped me practise properly instead of just driving about.. ### 5/5 — didnt think id use it this much!! *2026-04-21, version 164* Didn’t think I’d use it that often but I ended up using it most weekends. Helped me get used to the area and boosted my confdence forsure!! ### 5/5 — happy I tried it!! *2026-04-14, version 164* I wasn’t reallyy sure about it at first, but I’m so glad I gave it a try. RouteBuddy helped me understand the routes better and feel more prepared.! ### 5/5 — really helped me get familiar with the area :) *2026-04-12, version 164* RouteBuddy helped me get used to the test area ahead of time. Everything felt much more familiar on the day, and I felt way more confident.. ### 5/5 — didnt expect much but worked great *2026-04-11* 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. **Developer response:** 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! ### 4/5 — Good but needs improvement *2026-04-11, version 163* The test route was okay, but it would be nice if the map could be on landscape and portrait, rather than being portrait only. It was challenging to be on portrait, as my phone stand is for landscape orientation. ### 5/5 — worth every penny!!! *2026-04-10, version 163* I wasn’t sure if it would be worth the price, but it totally is. Practising the real test routes helped me feel prepared and calm on test day.! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish con *2026-08-30, version 172.0.4* Actually just can’t feel trust in it. How to stop the subscription?? ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE THIS APP *2026-08-23, version 171.1.0* I really want everyone to read reviews before downloading any app, this is a lesson i learnt the hard way, i just asked google ai for best apps for test routes and it showed me this app in the list and i downloaded it and paid for the premium and tbvh i regretted spending my hard earned money on this, this is the worst app for test routes do not download this, its gps is very outdated and it does not navigate properly, i just used this app two times and i was done, it kept guiding me to a different turn and showing me something else, PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOOD REVIEWS, they are prolly fake or some people might like to be played with🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Absolute waste of money *2026-07-23, version 170* This App is an absolute mess, the voice over is too low & very cranky, not connecting to Google Maps, meaning you need to rely on the in App road map, which sometimes is not always accurate, way more expensive than it’s counterparts, did not enjoy the good use of my money, I will never recommend this App to anyone ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-07-13, version 168* 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 ### 1/5 — Navigation is poor. *2026-06-17, version 167* Useless app not worth the money. Navigation doesn’t work, instructions not properly given in due time. Not safe to use on the road. I request a refund for my purchase please. ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2026-06-10, version 167* 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. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2026-06-08, version 167* I have paid for the app and the route shown was the wrong one and some of the route was not working. I downloaded driving “driving test routes” app and it is working. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother! *2026-06-06, version 167* Not been able to complete a test route. App is unable to: redirect when a wrong turn is made Location tracking on the app is awful. The map stops highlighting routes mid drive and so much more. Definitely not £13 worth of app I will be trying to get a refund! ### 1/5 — Fraudulent *2026-05-06, version 165* App is still charging subscription even after canceling it, very bad experience ### 1/5 — Awful app - and reviews being moderated? *2026-03-27, version 163* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — practice finally felt proper hihi *2026-08-14, version 171.1.0* Before this I was just driving around hoping for the best 😂. Having actual routes made my practice feel like it had a purpose tnx! ### 5/5 — better than expected tbh *2026-08-11, version 171.1.0* Wasn’t sure if an app would actually help but it did. Seeing the same roaads again and again really made a difference ### 5/5 — great alongside lessonss *2026-08-10, version 171.1.0* My instructor recommended this and I’m glad I listened. We used it during lessons and it helped me focus on the roads instead of worrying where to go next... ### 5/5 — didnt realise how helpful it was *2026-08-04, version 171* At first I thought it might not make much difference but I was wrong. Seeing the same roads a few times really helped..! ### 5/5 — made private practice better *2026-08-02, version 171* Used this with my dad when practising outside lessons. Having somewhere to go made the drives feel more organised instead of just driving arounnd ### 5/5 — better than i expected :D *2026-08-01, version 171* Was a bit unsure at first but it actually turned out to be really helpful. Helped me understand the area and feel more preparedd ### 5/5 — really useful on weekendss *2026-07-17, version 168* I used this mostly when practising with my mum at the weekends. Made it so much easier knowing where we were actually going ### 5/5 — made me feel less lost!!!!!!! *2026-07-14, version 168* 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.. ### 5/5 — no more random practicee *2026-07-10, version 168* Before this me and my dad would just drive wherever 😂 Having actual routes made every practice drive feel like it had a purpose. ### 5/5 — proper confidence boostt *2026-07-08, version 168* Didn't realise how much seeing the same roads again would help. Went into my test feeling waaay more confident than I expected. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
