Most of the time it’ll say forbidden route or expired. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore. *2024-09-25, version 1.2* The app doesn’t seem to scan on iPhone anymore. APP needs updated bad. ### 1/5 — Simply does NOT work *2024-09-02, version 1.2* QR code scanner doesn’t work. When you attempt to enter the info manually, there is an error message and you are told the permit does not exist. Would be a wonderful tool if it worked at all. These issues have happened in both MT and IL. ### 1/5 — Cannot get the App to work *2024-07-13, version 1.2* This App was great when it first came out. In the past year or so I haven’t been able to successfully scan the QR Code and says “Permit does not exist” when I manually enter the Illinois permit number. ### 1/5 — ERROR *2024-04-22, version 1.2* Internal server error ### 1/5 — Please fix camera focusing issue *2024-02-03, version 1.2* Please please please fix the camera focusing issue on iPhone 15 Pro. I can’t scan the QR code because the camera does not switch between the 3 lenses. App is virtually unusable right now. ### 1/5 — No *2024-01-28, version 1.2* It worked great the first time I used it. I tried to use it again and it doesn’t scan qr code. ### 1/5 — It only has a few states *2024-01-28, version 1.2* Why would you only have a few select states? I needed IA, MO, OK and TX. None of them were on the app. ### 1/5 — Meh *2023-12-16, version 1.2* Be ok if it would actually scan the QR code even 1/4 of the time. Be better if anywhere on a permit it actually said what the key is so you could type that in as permit number itself does nothing. Out of 20 times trying to use the software it has actually only worked 3 times. And not nearly enough states involved to make it even remotely worth it ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-09-07, version 1.2* I am hopeful for this app to work some day 🤞I was able to use it once months ago. I don’t understand why it’s taking so long to get it working properly. ### 1/5 — It would be great if it worked, useless as it is *2023-05-09, version 1.2* Keep throwing errors at me, iPhone 12 Pro Max or 13 Pro Max with iOS 16.5 ### 1/5 — Junk *2023-05-02, version 1.2* Absolutely useless can only get one state permit to work ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-11-29, version 1.1* Does not work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-06-28, version 1.2* I wish the permit office would not recommend this app. It is complete and utter trash does not work at all. Total waste of time. ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-04-24, version 1.2* Would be an awesome app if it kept working I used it one day and then could not use it the next now it will not work at all just keeps saying error 404 I can’t put the permit number in manually because it won’t work ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-02-04, version 1.2* Don’t waste your time or money only works on certain states and no freehand to adjust route or input for unsupported states ### 1/5 — Updating *2026-01-25, version 1.2* Hasn’t been updated in 2 years. Doesn’t always work. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-01-10, version 1.2* Will not scan codes and every time I put numbers in it say error ### 1/5 — Fix your app. *2025-10-11, version 1.2* Works great in Illinois. Cause every other state just says error. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2025-08-19, version 1.2* I’ve tried this app for multiple different states. They all give an error message or just doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Can’t even focus the camera on QR code (Iphone 16 pro) *2025-02-24, version 1.2* Bad reviews from 2 years ago, I give it a chance and the app is even can’t scan the QR code on the permit ### 1/5 — Don't work *2025-01-30, version 1.2* waste of time don't work ### 1/5 — Tx *2025-01-20, version 1.2* Texas giving bad request this is thee worst state And needs done quick ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — HUGUES GOUPIL Driver at Transport Bellemare. *2024-01-09, version 1.2* This application is a game changer for us on the road and make the part of following the permitted routing a lot easier and it will be very nice to have other state joining in the use of this great application. ### 4/5 — 👍 *2023-03-21, version 1.2* Love the app! Great for routing through IL! Sure wish it was useful in the rest of the lower 48 states. ### 4/5 — 👍 *2022-11-17, version 1.1* Love the app! Great for routing through IL! Sure wish it was useful in the lower 48 states. ### 4/5 — 14 pro *2022-10-20, version 1.1* Won’t work w i phone 14 pro. But my old 12 i phone worked great ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2024-09-04, version 1.2* So I am a pilot car driver and I try to have my routes just the same as the driver so we’re on the same page. Routing a Mississippi route on Google maps and couldn’t find Ms 198 so after I got frustrated I decided to try pro miles and it worked! I do wish it had other features and I hope the app only gets better! ### 3/5 — API *2024-06-09, version 1.2* Where do I find the API key to manually enter a permit? ### 3/5 — Pro miles Route *2023-07-22, version 1.2* The problem that I’m having here with the app is that when I scan it it says that the permit is not found. I don’t know if the app needs to be updated but I do put in the permit number and the state and it does not bring it up I don’t understand, it might need to be fixed or the bugs fixed and that I have been driving for 43 years and I just love the app when it works ### 3/5 — Needs more work *2023-04-06, version 1.2* A few states only work, and doesn’t always work properly. Would be a great app if you could get the total North American map system to with it. What are you doing to address/achieve this? Get your people going on it! ### 3/5 — Needs work *2022-04-17, version 1.1* I love not having to plot out routes. I think this could be a great tool, however there are issues. When you get off route, and by off route I mean you stop at a rest area, the app won’t shut up about it. This app needs a mute button so badly. It’s so distracting. The “car” is in the middle of the screen, rather than the bottom of the screen (so you can see what’s coming) like ever other gps app. The time remaining info should be replaced with miles left. The time countdown is off so badly it has no meaning. The map has no details on it at all. The world has gotten used to Apple Maps and Google maps. When I use ProMiles, I run Apple Maps on a second screen, because it’s necessary. Split screen on iPad is missing. And yes, I’m waiting on more states as well. I hope this wasn’t harsh. I use it in Illinois every time that I can. Looking forward to improvements. ### 2/5 — Error *2023-08-13, version 1.2* Used it once worked great, went to use it again kept giving me an error message “ IL says internal server error” --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
