Gives you good tips on places to stop, but also just an easy way to plan a trip. I always found it frustrating that the trip doesn’t come out in the order I put it in, well I contacted the developer and there is a fix for it. I thought I would share here for others that need it. Hold down the location and then you can place it where you want it in your trip. **Developer response:** We developed Road Tripper to help users plan their trips and we are happy to hear from satisfied users like yourself. Thank you for your feedback! ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2017-11-15, version 15.3* I’ve used it for about 5 years...occasionally. Works pretty well for planning long trips on back roads. Lacks some flexibility in additions, changes, revisions, but overall a good tool. ### 1/5 — Rip Off Piece of Garbage *2016-04-14, version 13.4* BEWARE!! I would give it zero stars if I could. Poor instructions. Terrible ability to update routes and added points. Goes 'direct' (as the crow flies) even when you have via 'Car' selected. Their website does't work and it wasn't worth the time or money expended. ### 1/5 — Not really Free *2016-03-26, version 13.3* This app is only free to download. To use any features beyond mapping routes to local places, which is best done by far superior map apps, you have to pay to use the main feature. They don't advertise this on their website where I found out about the app. Their website claims it to be totally free to get and use. Even on websites advertising anything that is not tru is still false advertisement. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2016-01-26, version 13.2* This app does not work. Period. There is no clear way to plan a road trip, and even if it did, it doesn't have any way to filter searches. There is no auto-complete for map searches leaving you praying this app can find your destination. And there are glitches in the user interface that need to be resolved. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2015-11-27* Don't bother installing. You have to pay for it. Just use the free web version. ### 2/5 — Why *2015-11-19* Why is this app free and then once installed, asks for money to use basic features. ### 1/5 — Get the "real" one, not this one *2015-11-08, version 12.1* This is a horribly-buggy knockoff of the original app, and is a waste of memory and effort. The good one is spelled with an "s" and comes from the website of the same name: Roadtrippers ... with an "s" on the end. Don't be mislead by THIS terrible app. It took me a while to discover the actual Roadtrippers dot com website and corresponding mobile app .... so please benefit from my experience.. ### 3/5 — Nice but... *2015-10-26, version 12.1* Not a bad app if you use it to follow Interstates but I couldn't get it to draw a route on the Blue Ridge Parkway without it taking me off the Parkway or me having to place way markers. It seamed a bit harder to navigate the App at first but after a while it became easier. Just wished you could put in a Named Highway and it would route you from start to finish. ### 1/5 — So frustrated *2015-10-14, version 12.0* Not user friendly at all. Creates way points where I wasn't tapping. Not easy to use in any sense. Won't even go to searched location and let me set it as a point on my trip. What a waste of 3 dollars! ### 1/5 — faulty search function *2015-09-02, version 10.8* Search function doesnt work. Makes it almost useless. ### 1/5 — good idea, poor execution *2015-08-23, version 10.8* If you have to offer video tutorials of how to use your app, the the design is poor. It's hard to use, hard to add a place, can't search for a place. Basically you load in all the data. What's the point? ### 1/5 — Awful! *2015-08-01, version 10.8* The worst app I have ever purchased. Extremely confusing and not user friendly. Do not waste your money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unintuitive garbage *2025-05-06* Worthless! **Developer response:** To get started with Road Tripper, please see the How to Use document included within the app, checkout the tutorials on our YouTube channel, or visit the FAQ page on our website: zurapps.com. ### 1/5 — Useless tool *2021-07-09, version 18.5* Fail. Non-intuitive and very weak instructions for use. ### 1/5 — Poorly designed *2019-05-10, version 16.3* Right away it zoomed me into New York when it had my current location half way across the us. It also has some preset locations which linked my destinations together instead of directing me from my current location. The design faults also include the set route completely covering the highway/interstate numbers making them impossible to read. Terrible. Won’t use anymore ### 1/5 — what a mess *2018-06-09, version 15.8* was saying i was in a different state trying to go to some random state... not useful at all... deleted after 5 minutes ### 1/5 — Unusable unless planning to purchase *2017-09-03, version 14.6* Wouldn't do anything but show predestined ending location. I'm not willing to give my information for a subscription prior to getting to use it first. ### 1/5 — Road Trip *2017-08-13, version 14.6* Road tripper was a trip. Wouldn't let me get started without paying for premium app. ### 1/5 — Hard to use *2017-05-29, version 14.4* This app is not user friendly. I cannot change route. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2017-04-24, version 14.4* It doesn't know where you are tapping on the iPad and it's UI is terrible ### 1/5 — Road Tripper *2017-04-09, version 14.4* Seems to hang up a lot and does not work smoothly. Would not recommend ### 1/5 — Don't bother. *2016-11-19, version 14.1* Total rubbish. Complicated and useless. And I can't work out how to unsubscribe so will prob end up wasting £4.99. Month on nothing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice UI *2023-02-27* I love the new UI compared to the previous years I used this app! **Developer response:** Thank you for your comment.

They got back to me within hours and re-implemented the functionality in a couple of weeks. **Developer response:** We developed Road Tripper to help users plan their trips and we are happy to hear from satisfied users like yourself. Thank you for your feedback! ### 5/5 — 5 star *2015-06-24, version 10.8* It's very eazy to use ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2014-10-04, version 10.2* I have had this App for a couple of years now and although it has had a few hick ups on the odd occasion which I have got around with a hard reset, I am very happy with it. Updates have generally made some good improvements at times when I have thought what more can be done. I like that I can email my route/travel plan to family and how simple it is to use and can be amended. I would like to see it allow for more than one route per map. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-07-18, version 10.0* It has many cool features and it is also very easy to use. I'm glad I found it! ### 5/5 — Life saver *2014-07-03* I'm in sales and this app is great for planning my day. It has so many features and yet it's easy to use. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Amazing App! A true drivers must have! *2014-06-05, version 10.0* Highly recommended for anyone that lives to drive and see new things. 5 stars all the way! ### 5/5 — The Sign Guy *2014-03-31, version 7.11* Great App! Makes my job so much easier! Great tech support from these guys also. highly recommend this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
