Love the ap

I wish it would save the attractions I have seen. I have the all access I have turned off the phone turned it back on. I go through and check the things. I’ve seen close the app open it back up. It’s all gone.

Most Recent Update

Why the heck did you move the search bar off the home screen? That makes no sense! Please put it back! And now all my most recent searches are gone!
Also, the map app selection is now malfunctioning! If I select Google Maps or Waze it only opens up Apple Maps and gives me a wildly incorrect travel time!
Overall a very bad update, please reverse it!

Response from developer

Scottster718 -- We appreciate your feedback! UPDATE: We just released a fix for mapping choices (v3.1.3). Search is in the More tab, and hasn't been on the home view since 2019 (when we added On Route). Recent searches are in a temporary device cache; consider using the app's "Saved" to keep places more permanent in your list. Thanks. - Roadside America

Nope

You have to pay money to get the app, then pay more money to be able to access the information on it. What a joke.
