Excellent app and developer

Great app for anyone who travels to places more than once! Sweet feature lets you see the ETA’s of all your saved locations. I fly drones and this helps determine where to travel based on traffic, etc. Highly recommended!

App comes in handy and gets better with each update

I am hearing of new updates in the works for months to help alleviate the 12 etas limitation within widget. We will now have folders for better organization.

With that new update we have been told that we will be able to openly communicate with support through application.

Also, when u click on a location it gives you three travel options, not sure how u can select which option you want to choose or if it just automatically picks the shortest one. Can we select which route we want to take ?

Would also love option to sort by distance from your current location when looking at a list.

Can you please share ETA (HaHa) on when this new version will be released or if a test flight version will be released. Thanks.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review and for the feedback. Apologies for not being as responsive as we should on X and email. Our inbox is overflowing with users thinking our we manage visa applications for the UK (for the country's Electronic Transit Authorisation) and we get 100s of these a day. This sadly has made responding almost impossible. We do have a new version coming and with that we'll move our support into the app. In the meantime communicating via this review system is probably the easiest :) To your questions - yes lists/folders are coming as is the ability to order via distance. CarPlay has been hugely successful for us and we want to add more to that experience too. Thanks so much for your support.

App comes in handy and gets better with each update

Please provide an avenue for communication with your customers as emails go unanswered and you haven’t been live on X. Happy to hear in one of the review reply’s you mentioned categorization is coming, I assume through folders. Hopefully this will assist with CarPlay’s current limitation of 12 items. Also, when u click on a location it gives you three travel options, not sure how u can select which option you want to choose or if it just automatically picks the shortest one. Would also love option to sort by distance from you when looking at a list.

Great. Curious widget choice

The app is great at its core function. I find it strange that you don’t have a widget like the larger “Directions” widget that shows travel time to multiple places instead of distance. The app is called ETA and is all about time but you focus on distance?! Just an odd decision that’s all

App Broken

Setting up a commute widget on iPhone causes crash and Apple watch widget displays incorrect travel times or doesn’t even work. Pls fix.

Super App

Super App. Nach dem letzten Update können auch andere Apps für die Navigation ausgewählt werden. Schön wäre es, wenn hier auch Sygic verwendet werden könnte.

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for your review. Sadly lots of third party mapping apps have removed support for URL Schemes which is the technology we use to activate directions. We're in the process of updating our approach to hopefully provide more support. One option we're looking at is better integration with the Shortcuts app to give you the user better control of where you get your directions. --- Auto Translate --- Hallo, danke für Ihre Bewertung. Leider haben viele Karten-Apps von Drittanbietern die Unterstützung für URL-Schemata eingestellt. Dies ist die Technologie, die wir zum Aktivieren von Wegbeschreibungen verwenden. Wir sind dabei, unseren Ansatz zu aktualisieren, um hoffentlich mehr Unterstützung zu bieten. Eine Option, die wir prüfen, ist eine bessere Integration mit der Shortcuts-App, um Ihnen als Benutzer eine bessere Kontrolle darüber zu geben, woher Sie Ihre Wegbeschreibungen beziehen.

Want To Love But…

The idea is great. It’s like having geographic bookmarks for your car, with traffic factored in. And no data collection is a *huge* plus in my book. However, the integration with navigation apps other than Apple Maps does not work. Other choices are unclickable. Heck, as I discovered today, even the Leave A Review link doesn’t seem to work. And to top it off, emails for help have gone unanswered. Sad.

It I a great app, but…

I use this app diligently when traveling for work. Always adding my hotel, job site, and airport to make it super simple to get to where I need to be in an unfamiliar city. Is there a limit of destinations on apple CarPlay? Only had of them display there. I wish I could view all of them to make it super simple when driving.

Unable to import locations

I'm unable to import locations from my iPhone app running on ios 26 onto my Apple Watch SE 2, running Watch OS 26. Whenever I try to do that, the screen shows as loading and never completes. Please fix this issue asap.

When I try creating locations manually on my Apple Watch, the ETA predictions differ widely from the iPhone and doesn't show the most up to date eta, which defeats the purpose of having a watch face.

Good: but a question remains

A useful little app that perhaps doesn’t get the publicity it deserves.

One thing which irritates is the seeming inability to alter the order of one’s chosen destinations.

They can be deleted, yes. But if you add a new one, however important it is to you and no matter how well used, it still goes to the bottom end of your list.

I’ve raised this point with the developer but didn’t even receive the courtesy of a response.

Has anyone found a way to alter the order in which destinations appear?

Home screen widget no bueno

I bought this, hoping to get real time travel ETA info on my home. Screen to monitor traffic and what not. Unfortunately, the widget doesn’t work. It says that it requires set up, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to do so. Tapping on the widget Quickly opens and then crashes the app. Just thought I’d give a heads up to anyone else tossing five dollars out there for this.

FWIW, it looks like iOS 26 is bringing the basic widget functionality to the Maps app

Widget doesn’t work properly

I have used this app for a few years and it’s generally good. I purchased the calendar connection and in app it works great. I set up the calendar widget and it doesn’t work properly. It doesn’t add the extra buffer minutes. The widget has one time to leave and the app has it 5 minutes earlier. Also when I press the widget, it opens the app and then the map app but it won’t let me “Go.” It shows “Steps” instead.
Edit: the issue is with Apple Maps. I switched the navigation app to Google Maps and did not have the same issue with steps.

Thanks so much for your support over the last few years. We love hearing from long time users! :) Sorry to hear o fate issues with the widget and thanks for letting us know about the issue when getting directions. Is this with Apple Maps or another maps app. Either way we'll get onto a fix and we have a big update coming later this year.

calendar option crashes it

The app crashes if you give calendar permissions. emailed support but no response and I could not receive a refund.

Quick way to navigate to favorite places and provide a glimpse of how long it will take.

Hope they continue to upgrade application. Very useful. Bring some more icon choices when setting up navigation link within control center.

Doesn’t work

The app doesn’t work correctly on my Apple Watch. I want my $5 back

Watch app doesn't work

The watch app doesn't work and it used to. It won't sync with my phone and it won't update times. Location services are on. Such a shame. I'll re review if they fix it.

Pretty good

I like this app and having it on my watch. It needs to give you the quickest route to your set location by default. I have 2 ways I can get to work everyday. I check the app, and it's just telling me one, unless I click in and look at all the possible routes. It should just show you the quickest.

Does not work with Watch

I used to rely and love this app for its watch complication. However, the complication hasn’t worked in almost a year. Hope someone makes an ETA that works so I can make the switch

Excellent app

Absolutely love this app overall. Excellent support and updates keep coming. So simple and makes sense. Only issue I have is I have quite a list and only the first 9 locations seem to update on launch. Hopefully there will be a way to refresh a location further in my list. Please. Please. Please and thank you!!!
