Worthless. *2023-08-07* The worst part about it was that I was stupid enough to download this app. Avoid being stupid like me. Read the other reviews. @apple take this down! Update: the developer wants me to adjust this review because they say it is subscription issues. But the app is still crap and the request is shady. **Developer response:** YOU ARE CORRECT and the problem has been fixed (we think).

I was charged twice and never got my free trial. Just wasted $20. Plus when I entered the information on the app it came up with an error. Avoid this company like the plague. Enjoy my money crooks. As an update to this. I was told on the response below this to email them for my refund. So I did, got told to go to the App Store for my refund. I then replied that I was told to email this email address for my refund and that this just proves their are crooks. So then I got a snarky response back and they want my Venmo information. Avoid this company like the plague people. Update: I did not in fact get a refund via Venmo, because I do not have Venmo. I am however getting my refund back from Apple. There is a reason this app only has 1.8/5 stars lol **Developer response:** YOU ARE CORRECT and the problem has been fixed (we think).

If you are interested, please email info@triproutingtechnologies.com with subject BUG. The RSA Team Since Apple and Google handle all the billing, our hands are tied but to offer reimbursement. That's where Venmo come in. We sincerely apologize. The RSA Team. ### 5/5 — Gabuti *2023-04-15* I drive a lot for my job, but I also have digestive issues. Rest stops are a very real need for me.
