Troubles recording location
A great idea for an app! The first day I used it, I had no troubles recording my location. But after setting my location settings in iPhone to “always allow” it failed to record a big trip I went on last week which was very disappointing. The app lets you manually add roads and paths and I’m tempted to do so for my trip, but how cumbersome and annoying that is. I troubleshot it a bit and I believe you have to open the app for it to record your location; which is misleading because i thought the always allow location setting would permit it even when the app isn’t open. But overall a great and fun idea for an app, no ads, the free version does everything I need it to, and the premium version is pretty cheap. (2$ a month, or 10$ a year) seems like a passion project and not a scummy app trying to empty your pockets.

Barely usable
The first two days, I had fun, enough to fall for the premium purchase, but I wish I tested some more. Today, the app drained 44% of my battery within 5 hours. If that’s not bad enough, the app is also not reliable. If you don’t open it every once in a while, it stops registering your travels. Now, I realize this one’s on iOS and not on the devs, but so what? It makes the app unusable either way. I just wish I didn’t spend money on it.

Response from developer
Firstly I’m sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced. We’ve made some very significant improvements over the past few weeks and have more in the pipeline. If you reach out via email or discord. Both are listed on the bottom of our site. NewRoads.app Id be happy to coordinate a full refund.
Love watching the map appear as I explore
NewRoads makes exploring my neighborhood and city so much fun. I use it to track my “hot girl walks” and it pushes me to walk just a little bit further every day to clear the map a bit more. The stats and badges with Pro make the data nerd in me happy. Highly recommend.
