## What is EasyRoute?

EasyRoute is a route planner for outdoor activities like running, biking and walking.

Simply tap the places you want to go along the way. It will follow roads and paths while also providing the freedom to route directly where you touch.

You can use EasyRoute for all of the following:

• Plan biking, running or walking routes while customizing them to be both enjoyable and safe. You can simply tap your start and destination points, or tap roads or paths you’d prefer to use along the way. You can drag the route to customize it as well.

• Let it guide you through the route on either iPhone or Apple Watch. It works equally well in the background so you can use it alongside any of the great workout tracking and analysis apps in the App Store, including the built-in Apple workout app. (With an Apple Watch, it can optionally record a workout directly to Health while following a route.)

• Customize the directions by adding, editing or removing instructions.

• Download data for offline use, so you can route in areas with no network connection.

• Share routes with others or export them to your devices -- works great with Wahoo ELEMNT bike computers! ;)

• Schedule a route and start following it right from a watch complication or an iOS 14 Home Screen widget.

• Enable iCloud to make routes on your iPad and sync them to your iPhone

• No account or sign-in required. EasyRoute does not collect information about you and there are no 3rd-party ads.

Thanks for reading this far down and considering this little app.

### 1/5 — Can’t alter

*2025-01-14*

It will only allow me to put start and stop, and I can’t alter the route in between

### 5/5 — More than it looks

*2023-08-24, version 5.3.2*

Creating a route on iPhone or M1 Mac and navigating on Watch works great. 

Offline maps mean I actually use the app as a general purpose map as well as routing. 

Bonus points for using Valhalla as the routing engine - the cycling routes this app generates come extremely close to CycleStreets, which here in the UK is the gold standard.

### 1/5 — From great to awful

*2023-07-22, version 5.3.0*

I have used this app for years and would have always given it 5 stars.  However, in the past weeks it has become utterly useless, constantly crashing, freezing etc…..it has become unworkable.  Have tried all the usual fixes for this but sadly to no avail.  So for now I would recommend people to stay away.

### 3/5 — Love it…however

*2023-05-16*

This app does everything that I need it to do. It easily zonks onto the map for easy measurements. The only thing that I have not figured out is how to get it on my Apple Watch. Someone please help me with this.

### 1/5 — Meh

*2022-12-22, version 5.0.1*

It was just very good, simple and easy. Then the owner decided to gain some more money removing basics features like topographic countours and all the trails from the free map. 
Good job, you’re now as the big (and better made) apps that I’m going to pay instead!

### 4/5 — Love this app - haven’t figured out storage

*2022-09-25*

I’ve been using this app for more than a year, and agree that it’s hands down the most convenient route planner I’ve ever found - great when traveling.  The only issue I haven’t entirely sorted out is why previous routes cannot be permanently stored to the phone.  There’s an offline mode that should work, but I still find that every time I open the app, it has to download previous routes.  This is a particular issue when I’m traveling without cell/wifi access, and routes I’ve created in advance are often unavailable - have folks found any solutions for this?

### 4/5 — Hidden gem

*2022-08-26, version 4.7.2*

This is an app that does just one thing, but does it very well. It let’s you create GPX-routes by simply tapping on a map. This app really is a hidden gem.

### 5/5 — Awesome Routing App

*2022-03-27, version 4.7.2*

This app is great! Easy to use and integrates really well with my Wahoo Elemnt.

### 4/5 — Buena pero falla el desnivel

*2022-01-18, version 4.7.1*

No le doy 5⭐️ porque las rutas las crea muy bien(mejor carretera que BTT que a veces hay que hacerlo de forma manual) pero tienen que corregir el desnivel de las rutas porque siempre marca mucho más de lo que es realmente.

### 5/5 — Simple, dues everything I need

*2021-04-18*

This is an easy to use app, I use this to create does to sync to my Coros Apex. Super easy. 
Only ask of the developer is to add the ability to set way points!
