Roads

The App crashes when I start the route.

Great app, one caveat

Personally I love this app. It’s helped me find some great routes and you can save them too! The community feature is cute, just wish it was more active.

Only downside is that your round trips always start from your current location instead of the address you enter… almost like your input is treated as a suggestion. It would be nice if the app also displayed the speed limit, many navigation apps do.

Apart from that, it is a sweet little gem. I will still use it :) I’ve really enjoyed it so far

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. A round trip can generally start at your address. All you need to do is enter it or have the location picked automatically. Have a nice week, the ROADS team.

Updates despite iPAD O/S version not supported

Rather than warning me that my iPad/OS version is not compatible, ROADS is installed and absolutely unusable.

ROADS should have left the prior version in place and supported.

All my routes are inaccessible.

Apple CarPlay compatibility.

I wish the developers would update the app to work with Apple CarPlay. It won’t even show up as an app that can be added or used in the CarPlay settings.

Mehr als nur eine App – pure Begeisterung!

Mehr als nur eine App – pure Begeisterung!

Diese App ist für mich das perfekte Beispiel dafür, wie Technik und Menschlichkeit verschmelzen können. Der Support ist extrem zuvorkommend und nimmt sich wirklich Zeit – eine Seltenheit in der heutigen Zeit.

Das Design ist erstklassig und die sportliche Umsetzung macht einfach nur Spaß. Man merkt in jedem Detail, wie viel Herzblut das Team in die Pflege der App steckt. Wer eine App sucht, die nicht nur funktioniert, sondern begeistert, sollte sie sofort herunterladen. Von mir gibt es die maximale Punktzahl (und eigentlich noch einen Daumen obendrauf)!

Thank you very, very much for your kind feedback. We are super happy that you like our app. Best wishes from the ROADS team.

Gave up at login

Can’t log in using either my Apple ID or Porsche ID. Tried several times and gave up. If sign in is this hard I have to assume the entire app is utter garbage. Didn’t want to waste anymore time.

Crash

Crash every time when initiate a route. Pretty much useless

Very hard to use and buggy

I like the *idea* of this but this is one of the most frustrating apps I’ve used in years. The UI is incredibly unintuitive, the app crashes or times out constantly, and when you make a route it’s full of inaccurate AI slop descriptions that you can’t edit.

Great potential! Almost there.

The app itself works quite well, the development team has clearly fixed a lot of the initial issues of the app which is much appreciated. I love meeting up with friends and going on scenic drives near me. Something I noticed which would be a great improvement is upgrading how we create and manage routes created. Right now I can only figure out how to create one tour at a time? There isn’t a clear way to create a blank tour that I can add more routes. To me, routes and tours is a fun way to set up and scrap book future drives.

Great experience

Just got my first manual car, a Scion FR-S, and this app has been perfect for finding fun routes to practice and enjoy driving. Works great, and the latest update fixed a lot of the old issues mentioned in reviews

Unnecessary animation

The app has unnecessary opening animation that just takes too long. I just want to tap open the app and go. Also wish it could integrate with google maps or apple maps

Dommage

Dommage qu’il y a pas un mode qui nous permet de changer de langue comme de mettre en français

Very buggy

The navigation system is bad in city it makes you take unnecessarily turns and then ends your route before you can even drive a minute

Great idea but lacking in implementation

The old app recorded your route and then saved it this seems have a very poor editor where you can't edit your route and the import option doesn't seem to work for a standard GPX file.

I think the idea is great but it needs more work.

I like the improvements in the latest update which reduces the number of crashes…good to know it must also improve my driving!

Leider kein Querformat

Im Grundsatz finde ich die App super – auch für „Nicht-Porsche-Fahrer“! Die Erstellung von individuellen Routen mit vielen Wegpunkten ist etwas mühsam. Ein absolutes NoGo ist, dass es offensichtlich keine Navigation im Querformat gibt. In meinem Fahrzeug-Setting ist das leider ein KO Kriterium.
Die automatisch erzeugten KI Texte scheinen sich nach der Bearbeitung auch auf Anfrage nicht sinnvoll zu aktualisieren. Das ist aber vergleichsweise unwichtig.

Good

Very nice job Porsche

Missing ferry connections

Great app, but planning trips with several short ferry connections along the Norwegian fjords is not supported. Please fix 🙏

App is unusable

App basically doesn’t work at all, i had to refresh the app like 5 times just setting up my account since it kept glitching and then finally got everything setup for it to keep loading for almost 20 minutes and then crash and make me restart.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. Please update to the latest version where we fixed a couple of issues. Have a nice week, the ROADS team.

Poor tie in to Apple play

Route on phone does not appear on apple play display. Not up to Porsche standards.

Fix the gps starting point

The route are always generated starting from my house, even when my gps location is at a different spot on the map. This renders the create route functionality entirely useless
