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. ### 3/5 — Limited places per file *2022-09-03, version 4.7.84* This is ok if planning a small road trip because it doesn’t allow more than 50 places per file. Can’t add ‘missed’ locations if file has reached the 50 location limit so have to start again. Looking for an app that allows for a longer road trip. ### 3/5 — Good info *2022-03-12, version 4.7.84* I like the idea but the map lacks detail… one of the reasons I don’t like Apple Maps. Wish it would interstate with Google maps. I find that Google maps has more detail not just major highways. ### 1/5 — Almost useless *2021-09-16, version 4.7.84* This app does less than google maps, total waste of space! ### 3/5 — Newbie *2021-08-06, version 4.7.83* I love the idea of this app. The tutorial seemed very straightforward, but when I tried to employ it, I struggled. I will persevere, however. ### 3/5 — Planning definition - *2021-06-16, version 4.7.82* To think about what point you want to go from another point where you want to begin. This one like the three others I tried make you start from where you are and want to track you where you progress. I am flying somewhere else then driving from there. No pin drop allowed without exact address or data downloaded from something else. Planning not allowed. Want 5 stars? Dumb it down and allow me to be smart. Allow me to just put pins in cities and towns and pick my path and once complete compute the distances and let me decide how far I want to go and drop pins in hotels and campgrounds and places to eat. Collect what I want from me and then collate. Going to just go sit at google maps and print to pdf after I look it all up myself. ### 1/5 — Scrambles Stops *2021-06-11, version 4.7.82* I spent four hours planning a trip, and when I came back to it, the stops were scrambled with regard to the order along the way. Many were also missing, even though I added them using addresses, city, state, etc. ### 2/5 — Going to have to pay if you want details *2021-06-04, version 4.7.81* Miles, time, tolls, ... Trying to plan a trip, but this version won’t specify details from one location to the next? ### 1/5 — Roads *2021-05-14, version 4.7.81* This app dose not have all roads, just main ones most county and state roads do not exist, this app is useless. I type in an address it goes to nearest town, with no roads. 🤷‍♂️ ### 2/5 — Wish it worked for me *2021-04-30, version 4.7.81* Not able to get support without joining google groups, then the support is mostly other users. The app doesn’t recognize that I paid for it. So won’t save or route my trip, therefore useless to me. Apple App Store marks it paid for So bummed can’t get it to work ### 1/5 — Totally Frustrating *2020-09-25, version 4.7.71* Tried to use the demos numerous times and kept crashing. Contacted support and they said try a different browser-safari, no luck, Firefox, no luck, Chrome, no luck on either my iPhone or IPAD. I’ve tried to set up a password for the subscription I paid for- link doesn’t work. I’m going to have to send an email to technical support just to cancel the subscription I signed up for. ### 1/5 — Plan a trip *2020-06-20, version 4.7.71* Not user friendly! ### 4/5 — It works really well and it’s good *2020-06-19, version 4.7.71* After I bought the paid version, it works really well. The developer seems like he’s tired of hearing about how his free version doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Very difficult *2020-04-20, version 4.7.61* Very difficult to figure out how to use. Haven’t programmed a trip yet?! ### 1/5 — So far...not so good *2020-03-01, version 4.7.50* Can’t map a very common route ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — App is terrible - Desktop version great *2022-04-03, version 4.7.84* All the app does is display a map of your route. Pain to have to open computer to get more info when phone is always handy. No arrival or departure dates, no address of destination pin. Pretty much just a non functional picture. But the desktop part is great. ### 1/5 — Confusing app *2022-02-21, version 4.7.84* App is not intuitive, gave up trying after 5min ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2022-01-28, version 4.7.84* Hard to use ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-09-24, version 4.7.84* I paid so I can save my trip and it is telling me I can not save my file. Also, it does not auto-populate the addresses. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great *2022-09-01, version 4.7.84* Imported waypoints from a big overseas trip. Easy to do, now a great reference for past journeys. ### 5/5 — EASY to use *2022-08-02, version 4.7.84* So EASY to use, we transfer files (trips) between our IPDADsthen we independently review We can easily pull up old trips to find our good memories along with data like cost, distance, how long we stayed…. Who could ask for anything more! ### 5/5 — Just right *2019-04-27, version 4.7.2* I’ve spent a lot of time searching for a trip planner, this one is beyond my expectations. The tutorial is just the get started guide. I’m traveling full time in our 5th wheel trailer. I downloaded this app after starting this seasons trip. Many of the features available were not in the tutorial but in the sample, so don’t forget to check it out. When entering dates and times I found the travel time was added in the data. One of the best parts in this app is the ability to edit the errors easily. Bottom line I’m loving it! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-01-14, version 4.7* Awesome app, use it in conjunction with the Mac app for planning extensive overlanding trips / road trips. Works perfectly. Possibly some improvements could be made on the iOS app to view info about pins. Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Okay *2018-10-11, version 4.6.97* Have not had the pleasure but hope this review gets me to the down load ### 5/5 — Motorcycle tripping. *2018-07-14, version 4.6.95* Have used the app in 2017 for a massive motorcycle ride through 23 States and 5 provinces. It worked great. Doing a 3600km trip through BC right now with it. Ride hard, ride safe.
