### 2/5 — Basically a Calculator

*2026-07-11, version 2.9.3*

This app just takes the average mpg of your car, the distance of your trip, and divides. Would be useful if it helped plan fuel stops for cost efficiency. This app is not really worth more than a google search.

### 3/5 — Pushes to premium a lot

*2026-05-10*

Its good but atm it keeps saying im used my free calculations when i never use it, like i get you gotta make money but im poor rn, why else would i be checking how much fuel to go somewhere

### 4/5 — great app

*2026-04-06, version 2.9.3*

this app helped me calculate the way to my plans perfectly but i just wish it had more spots than 5 spots to add

### 3/5 — Half the page taken up by bottom bar

*2026-03-03*

Good selection of local prices, but you can’t minimise the bar at the bottom which takes up 50% of the page. So the map, which is the only bit I really want to see, is half the size I’d like it to be.

### 2/5 — Wants me to upgrade

*2026-01-16, version 2.9.3*

Ive had this app since it was launched and used to work fine, now says I’ve used my monthly limit each time I’ve gone on the app over the past few months when I haven’t even been able to see one trip due to this problem

### 2/5 — Pas du tout gratuit !

*2025-08-24*

On vous annonce "calculer GRATUITEMENT votre itinéraire" mais lorsque vous entrez les données, il faut payer et s'abonner. Donc NON ce n'est pas gratuit.

### 3/5 — Needs improvement but overall what I wanted

*2025-08-07, version 2.9.3*

I would give it a 5 star if I hadn’t paid for the full version. I want to be able to set the default gas rate to whatever I want because it defaults to $5/gal and I don’t like having to change it. Or If it would sync up with local prices it would be even better. I love that it does save my vehicle type though!

### 2/5 — Was Good

*2025-03-18*

Was good now you have to pay if you change your car contacted the developer about this no response have now deleted roadtrip and installed PetrolCalc

### 4/5 — okay

*2024-11-25, version 2.9.3*

Good app to use but there is no way to delete a vehicle without paying.. we no longer own the vehicle linked to the app so now it’s useless to us because we cannot delete it & would rather not pay to just 1 vehicle linked.

### 3/5 — Check pricing

*2024-09-07*

Before you download be aware of cost

### 1/5 — Another subscription model

*2024-09-01*

I sold my car recently I cannot delete it an add my new car. Everything is behind a pay wall

### 1/5 — Pretty worthless if it doesnt update the prices

*2026-03-23*

With current prices through the roof decided to try the app out, but its completely useless as its showing prices that are at least 2 weeks - maybe more - out of date. I wish i could still get diesel for 137p a litre!!! (Currently over 160)

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Our apologies, we switched the underlying petrol data to be much faster to update – if you restart your app, you should see prices are back to being live updated.

If this worked for you, it would be great to get you to update the review to 5 stars, this means a lot for us!

Thanks

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-03-02, version 2.9.3*

Not even close to accurate. Says a 30 mile trip will cost me $10 in gas. Can’t adjust the price of gas and it’s not even close to correct in its estimate.  Deleting right after this review.

### 1/5 — Was good now bad

*2025-11-21, version 2.9.3*

Bought a new car and now would have to pay a hefty subscription to use it? Deleted.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-06-02, version 2.9.3*

Tried 9 different locations from my google maps faves 

St Aidans 
Yorkshire wildlife park 
Saddleworth hotel 

First three, not found 

Waste of time 

Deleted

### 1/5 — too expensive now

*2025-05-19, version 2.9.3*

from 99 cents p/m to $3.99?????

### 1/5 — Used once 8 months ago

*2025-03-04, version 2.9.3*

Thanks for deleting my info from your web site. Sly little money maker by taking a small amount monthly for your app charge

### 1/5 — Loved and now deleted

*2024-11-18, version 2.9.3*

Used to love this app and so useful. Wouldn’t mind an ad or two but over the top wanting payment just to swap a car around after I bought a new car. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2024-11-03, version 2.9.3*

Loved this app for years, went to use the app again and at some point they’d changed it, so now they want me to pay a subscription to delete my nans car and put mine back? Absolutely not 💀

### 1/5 — Used to be free now it’s all subscription based

*2024-10-19*

It’s really disappointing to see a company that used to have all of their features for free now charging for the most basic features of adding a car into your account. I remember when the app launched and it was an amazing app which had my Support 100% now unfortunately, I just don’t think I will be using it as every single thing that used to be included on the app for free is now a paid subscription. 

Really disappointing to see that the developers have sold out To make profit. Blocking free features behind a paywall. I understand you need to make a profit but you should be adding a new feature set in a subscription rather than removing existing features

### 1/5 — Disappointment and deleted

*2024-09-29*

Looked exactly what I needed, added functionality and a pretty good UI.
I did have doubts when I was required to make an account, and then find the tiny cross to dodge the subscription page, but what made me leave the app and delete it was simple the woefully inaccurate map of petrol stations.

I zoomed into a town I knew had four (and could identify them on a map) and NOTHING. Checked range, zoomed in and out, still nada.

Which makes this useless to me- I need to rely on being able to find stations, not just have them randomly available or not.

B-bye

### 5/5 — GREAT APP

*2026-01-25, version 2.9.3*

NOT DISSAPOINTED. GREAT APP TO PKAN TRIPS AND TO ESTIMATE THE COST VERSUS FLYING

### 5/5 — Gas calculators

*2025-12-28*

Simple and easy to use can’t beat that

### 5/5 — Pretty accurate.

*2025-11-28, version 2.9.3*

Road tripped a 2012 dodge grand caravan from Las Vegas to Los Ángeles it said about $160 in total I spent $163 total round trip averaging 18mpg

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2025-10-26, version 2.9.3*

I use this app to help me calculate the cost of little trips in the car. Its pretty accurate!

### 5/5 — Commentaires

*2025-08-18*

Application très pour les calculs de frais de déplacement

### 5/5 — Really useful

*2025-01-28*

Easy to use and fairly accurate. You put in your registration number and journey and hey presto. Wish it had a better icon though, the logo just doesn’t register in my brain as a fuel calculator.

### 5/5 — Very handy drive planning app

*2024-11-04*

Well built app. Very useful when planning normal or more complex journeys!

### 5/5 — Great for planning trips

*2024-11-04, version 2.9.3*

I love being able to easily see how much a long trip might cost me when budgeting out a holiday. Thanks Road Trip

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-08-18*

Great app used it a couple times a while ago, just re-downloaded it recently and no matter how good my internet connection is or my data when it lets me select the location and my car the fuel prices don’t load, no matter what I do
****(Creators are lovely people, bug was found and now fixed!!!)******

**Developer response:** Thanks to you we discovered a bug which meant you weren’t able to use Roadtrip. So sorry about this! We wanted to thank you with a year of Roadtrip Pro for free. Can you email emory@getroadtrip.app to claim?

### 5/5 — Really handy when you’re saving the pennies

*2024-07-23, version 2.9.3*

Obviously depends how heavy your right foot is but it seems to be pretty accurate. It certainly does give you a rough idea of how much you need saved if you’ve a trip to take.

At at the total price of free, I believe, it’s worth every penny :)
