What's New in Pleasant Routes

2.3

August 14, 2026

CarPlay is here. Pleasant now lives on your car screen: your routes with GO, turn-by-turn with a tap-for-full-directions banner, add a stop mid-drive (it gets a star on the map). And the routing got smarter where it counts: scenic and pleasant routes are now connected to our Great Roads index — hand-curated drives, coastlines, and byways — so when a great road runs your way, your route finds it. Behind that sit hundreds of stretched of rating roads rated by real people teaching the map what a good drive feels like. Thanks to the drivers in Umbria, Maryland, and Maine who shaped this release. Keep telling us — the community is the map.

Great idea!

This app is a refreshing alternative to Waze and Google Maps. I love that it prioritizes a more enjoyable driving experience over the fastest route. I am excited to use it on my weekend drives through the back country. What a great idea!

Response from developer

Thank you so much! I hope it helps you have some great weekend drives!

The kinks have been worked out!

It is so nice having this app when I’m on my hot girl walks. I live in nyc, so I walk the same streets everyday but Pleasant opened up so much more of the city for me. Who knew there was so much nature here!?

Response from developer

Live for reviews like this! Walking NYC is where the idea for this app began. So glad you love it!

Love this app!

Such a great idea - I love being able to use this to find the nicest way to get where I’m going vs just the fastest way.

Response from developer

The navigation is fine but CarPlay would be an immense improvement and earn 5*
