Motorway Services GB User Reviews

Top reviews

No route planner

Thought it would show services along my route without having to stop and change apps. As I am using my phone for navigation (Apple Maps) maybe it could show services along my route.

Hardly updates

It’s hardly ever updated so the information is old. It’s not reliable.

Motorway services

This is great for long journey breaks. Excellent and easy to use.

Great app…one suggested improvement.

This app has been invaluable to me many times in figuring out which services offer the best facilities and shops.

Wish it would auto detect the motorway that I’m on and the direction I’m driving though…that would be a great addition and you already have my location for distance measurements.

Not reliable

With 15 mins showed 2 services on southbound A1 as 1m and 6m apart, with different one the closest each time with the same two locations!

Response from developer

Please email app support so we can help and investigate further. It’s not a problem we’ve seen or had reported before but we’re happy to look into what happened in detail. Look forward to hearing from you.

Very useful

This is a very useful App when travelling on Motorways.
I have found this a "MUST HAVE" for planning a journey with adequate breaks. I have never had any problems using this app.

Not very useful

So it just lists service stations or shows them on a map? I’m not sure what I expected, but I expected something more useful than that.

Response from developer

The app includes all motorway services in Great Britain and details all the brands and facilities available at each and every one, and is updated every 4-8 weeks as various motorway services evolve and change. It provides several ways for motorway travellers to find and plan motorway stops prior to setting off. Services can be found by motorway, by map, operator, fuel type, brand, hotel, facilities, rating and so on. You can even book a hotel at a services from within the app if you want to break your journey or don't feel you can complete it. En-route the app can be used to find the next/nearest service stations, particularly useful if you find that you or your fellow travellers suddenly need the loo, fuel, food, drink or simply a rest. We encourage you to take a closer look and explore what the app is capable of. Please email us directly at contact@redkoalasolutions.com if you need help or have any suggestions for further improvement. We always listen to customers and have added features and made changes in the past based on suggestions and feedback.

Excellent app.

Gives all the information you needs and easily helps you find the nearest service area.

Excellent!

I cannot recommend this app highly enough. Detailed info and frequently updated. Quite superb.

Not a good time

The latest update is not downloading properly on my iPhone.

Response from developer

Your review was quite a while ago so we assume you solved your problem already. We thought it worth mentioning that struggling to download app updates isn't related to the app or app update itself and can be due to a number of different reasons relating to its delivery from the AppStore and installation on your device. If you experience the problem in future with any iOS app you can take the following steps which will usually solve the problem. - You need a stable internet connection, ideally wifi. Check its working by starting Safari and navigate to a well known website and see it display. - Check you are using the Apple ID/password you used to originally purchase the app. - Try restarting your device by shutting/powering it down and starting up again. - Delete the app from your device and re-download it (for free) from the AppStore. - Check your device is not absolutely full and that there is space to install the app update. - If none of these work, it may be that Apple are doing some maintenance on the App Store servers. Simply wait a while and try again later. If you ever encounter any problems like this or with any of our apps, please feel free to email us at contact@redkoalasolutions.com rather than posting a 1 star review and we will do what we can to help you.

Good but could be improved

Good app, could be useful to include postcodes of services as well as junction numbers for sat navs. And this might be a dumb point as technically there not on motorways but why not include "major" a road services (such as grantham moto services on the a1). Suitability of services for HGVs would be good as well.

Highly Recommended (A*)

I find this app really useful. Great for planning stops in advance and it saved me recently when I needed to find a splash of fuel and the toilet on a late return home.
I’ve bought and tried two other (cheaper) motorway service apps and was very disappointed with them.
This one is definitely the best I’ve found and the only one I now use. Highly recommended.

Outstanding app

Wow this is a first class app, would not be without it when travelling on the motorways. Highly recommend.

Excellent practical App

Brilliant app when you are trudging all and down the motorway. If you need to "spend a penny", need a break or getting hungry - the app will tell you exactly what is at each service station.
If you are a travelling sales person and need to get a hotel room - you can link direct to the website of the lodges/hotels directly and book your room.

Great Search Facility.

Good App and really appreciate the search by brand facility.

The map interface is easy to use and will be great on trips around the UK.

Very useful App.
