### 5/5 — Love love love

*2025-07-13, version 4.8.4*

I’ve love this app since I downloaded it!! It’s the best app and computer program ever to plan out long roadtrips with LOTS of locations and lots of details.

### 4/5 — Good for Planning and Travel

*2025-04-26, version 4.8.4*

I’ve used RTP since 2019 and have worked well with it so far. Moving the pins to Apple Map so they appear in CarPlay can be a challenge at first but once I figured out the process it became routine. That’s as much due to Apple’s software support as it is RTP software. If RTP was directly supported in CarPlay, it would be much better.

### 5/5 — Intuitive and multi-featured

*2024-08-18, version 4.8.3*

This is app works like a charm and most functions are intuitive-some things are tough to associate with an icon but I did find a few link graphics less intuitive than most others in the app, however once you explore and learn what takes you where, that problem goes away. The designers generously packed this app with lots of simple to use, relevant tools for trip planning.

### 5/5 — Terrific App

*2024-06-09, version 4.8.3*

My GoTo for Travel.  Once you understand its features, you will travel far.

### 1/5 — Directions needed

*2024-01-21, version 4.8.3*

I wish there were directions on how to use the app

### 1/5 — Good Intention

*2024-01-12, version 4.8.3*

Very cumbersome to use. I wish my club would go back to routes printed on paper.

### 1/5 — Road trip

*2023-09-07, version 4.8.3*

It not very clear how to use.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-06-20, version 4.8.2*

Definitely frustrating to try and set up a trip

### 1/5 — Need a tutorial to navigate

*2023-01-06, version 4.8.1*

It would be nice to know how to navigate this app. It feels like something that could be useful, but I am having trouble figuring it out.

### 1/5 — Not able to receive shared files

*2022-11-14, version 4.8*

Sharing with the family doesn’t work
