My only issue is that on the license plate spotting game, only Puerto Rico and DC is included in the US Others category. However, the US Virgin Islands license plate is a license plate used in the US territory of islands of St. Thomas and St. John. ### 2/5 — Extremely clever app but horrible pay wall *2026-06-27* Ridiculously expensive for premium I get charging a fee in today’s age $10 a month is insane. Really good idea but greedy. **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words about the app. On price: Pro covers the real per-trip costs of routing, AI planning, and live weather, and it keeps the app independent and ad-light. The core app stays free forever, and an annual plan brings the monthly cost down a good bit. Appreciate you giving it a try. ### 4/5 — Name That Song doesn't work? *2026-04-03, version 3.2.0* 4/3/26 Update: An update with working song games has been released. I've had a chance to try them and they work great. So thank you! What is keeping this review from being 5 stars is that I was originally enticed by the game connecting to my own Spotify account. The new games don't do this, and I wish they did. Original Review: I only purchased this app because Name That Song sounded fun. I have a Spotify premium account. I connected it successfully. I click into the game and it's just a pink screen that says "pick a playlist" but there are no playlists to choose from and the screen is unresponsive. Can't find support for this and if this game doesn't work I'd want a refund. ### 3/5 — Few issues but good app *2025-11-02* I’ve used the app in the past with no issues. This time i spent the money for all games and the music one isn’t working, wasting my money **Developer response:** We just released an all new update with new music games! No Spotify or Apple Music Subscription is required! ### 2/5 — Good *2025-04-22* I bought the premium version and the guess the song has continuously not worked ### 4/5 — Fun app but I have a suggestion! *2024-08-01* So this app is really fun I went on a 5 hour car trip with my family and it passed the time it's super fun and I highly recommend it it helped my parents for the gas price and my siblings enjoyed the games although I have a suggestion! Maybe leave some of the games unlocked cuz after some games I couldn't do more cuz they were locked! 😞 but overall a really good app! ### 1/5 — Warning: Porn ads *2024-05-26* We got this app to play on a family road trip and when there are ads in the free version a XXX porn ad popped up. COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE in a family setting, and as an adult it was upsetting to bump into unwillingly **Developer response:** Hi, ads are served by Google and based on your own browsing history. We do not intentionally serve these ads. Additionally, there is an in-app purchase option to remove all ads from the app. ### 4/5 — I reccomend *2023-11-12* Fun way to have fun on a road trip but for little kids lookingbon their parents phone to play, not a good app. Some if the things are not family friendly on specific games. **Developer response:** Thank you! As of version 1.11.0 we added a new feature that allows you to set a passcode to access the After Dark quizzes. ### 5/5 — Fun app! *2023-07-13* We r driving up the east coast and having so much fun using this app! Well worth the $ ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2023-03-28* Had some pretty entertaining things to do to keep us busy! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Forces you to pay to do anything *2026-07-29* Any feature you may want it’s behind a pay wall. It’s completely useless if you want to explore this app. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work? *2026-06-26* I was expecting to be able to put in start and end locations and then use the map to add stops, but it did not work. When I add a stop to my trip, it never shows up on the trip. It would show I had another “stop” on the trip stop counter, but when I open the trip, nothing new appears. I messed around with it alittle more and I just can’t get it to do what I want. I want to plan for gas and food stops at specific times during a long drive and plan ahead for hotels. Whatever I’m doing wrong, it shouldn’t be this hard to do something so practical. I got the upgrade thinking it would automatically find gas and hotel stops, and it did find a hotel stop, but no gas stops and it changed the route! I couldn’t figure out how to edit the route either. I dont really understand why such important functions like this seem to be non existent or hard to use. I must be doing something wrong but for the life of me I cannot use this app to plan a road trip. **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback and sorry for the frustration. The bug where a stop raised your counter but didn't appear on the trip has been fixed — our latest update also makes it much easier to add stops and move them between days. Please update and give it another try. You're right that Pro should find gas stops, not just hotels, and shouldn't reroute you unexpectedly — we're actively improving both. If anything still isn't working, email us and we'll help you plan your trip. Thanks for giving us the chance to make it right! ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-06-22* I can’t seem to get much to work in the app. It errors out, forces weird dates on me and wants to create its own trips. Trying it for another day and the. Moving on **Developer response:** We're working hard to improve the app and constantly monitor for errors. Please contact support and we'll get your issues resolved. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2026-05-24* I purchased this app approximately 2yrs ago, and when I opened it to use it for my current road trip, found out they had somehow switched to a subscription service. So now it’s asking me to pay $7/mo ($7 is the price I paid for the whole thing) or the “lifetime subscription “ for $15. I feel this was a bait and switch situation- I never would have bought this app if I would’ve known it would be a subscription and essentially that $7 up front was taken under false pretenses. If you try to use the app in its Free version, you will be interrupted by ads every 2-3 seconds, and each add lasts at least 10 seconds- rendering it essentially useless. **Developer response:** Hello, this is completely inaccurate. Anyone who purchased at any point since the app was created has access to the full version. You emailed support and we responded - please respond to our email and we will resolve. ### 1/5 — Name That Song doesn't work? *2026-02-22* I only purchased this app because Name That Song sounded fun. I have a Spotify premium account. I connected it successfully. I click into the game and it's just a pink screen that says "pick a playlist" but there are no playlists to choose from and the screen is unresponsive. Can't find support for this and if this game doesn't work I'd want a refund. ### 1/5 — Nothing here but prompts *2025-08-06, version 2.1.2* This is just a bunch of prompts to make up games with no tracking. Not a game. ### 1/5 — Don’t pay for premium *2024-12-14* I paid for premium to use the music game feature and it will not work no matter what I do. **Developer response:** Hi, this game requires an Apple Music or Spotify subscription which is stated in the app. Please email roadtripapp@halfpeeled.com if you have a subscription and are still having issues. ### 1/5 — So irritated-SCAM *2024-09-20, version 1.12.2* Paid the “o e time” lifetime e fee of $7.99 and NO access to games and other road trip trivia! ### 1/5 — Maps don’t work *2024-07-31* I wanted to use this to map out a route and find attractions on the way to my destination. The map function is so buggy. I put in the full address and it overwrites it with a similar address in a different state. Useless. **Developer response:** Hi, we apologize you were having this issue. Can you please email roadtripapp@halfpeeled.com with more information so we can debug and fix the issue. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2024-07-19, version 1.11.0* Sound doesn't work on any device Never get new stuff ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A need for all trips *2026-06-14* I love this app so much. It has so many great features and it’s extremely user friendly. Something I wish was included was somewhere to add in the ages of those on the trip or possibly a category of “kid friendly”. There were a few suggestions on the trips that my young children could never attend but it also suggested great family places. I also think it would be nice to put in my home address so that we have a starting point for road trips. I would even like to see some local trip suggestions. Being in Texas, I could go in any direction and it become a day road trip. **Developer response:** Thank you so much, this made our day! Great news: both of those are now in the app. You can set a "family-friendly" preference so suggestions fit younger travelers, and we've added loop trips that start and end at your home address - perfect for those any-direction Texas day trips. Give them a try and let us know what you think. Happy travels! ### 5/5 — Professional road trippers *2026-06-04* This app is a MUST when planning our family road trips. We hotel hop across states so the games and planning help tremendously when finding alternative routes and stops with 4 kids! I’ll never use anything else! **Developer response:** This is so great to hear - thank you for the support! ### 5/5 — Family fun *2026-05-17* Love the app! We use it to pass the time in the car with the family. Highly recommend!! **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-10-13* Super fun my family loved this game Highly recommend this game ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-08-24* This is a great game. I have so much fun on this. My favorite thing is a license plate order. I could be on this for hours. ### 5/5 — Um *2025-06-29* It slays ### 5/5 — Overcharged *2025-03-10* I downloaded this app and on one of the first screens, it said I could get lifetime access for $9.99. I decided to go ahead and get it, as we do a lot of roadtrips and this app has good reviews. However it charged me $50! Do not call this gimmick. **Developer response:** Hi, you emailed our support last week and we responded. Please respond to our email requesting more information. The purchase is non-recurring, it's impossible to be charged more than the price that is displayed. You may be seeing other purchases on your credit card that are grouped with this one. ### 5/5 — Entertains the Driver too! *2024-07-06* Love this app as it entertains the driver without having to look at your phone. Can play it with as many passengers as you like and have kid friendly, regular, and r rated games depending on who is in the car. I even used this app at home to entertain friends and family with the fun games! Highly recommend! **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — GREAT APP!!! *2024-03-20* I love this app it had great ideas on places to go, great ways to track where you have been, great games/entertainment, amazing, family, trivia, and great attractions. ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-07-13* Driving 8 hours towards Cape Cod and thoroughly enjoyed the games, trivia etc. made the long ride most enjoyable!!
