Got to pay

Cant run a single route without paying pretty disappointing. At least give me 5-8 routes a day that I can use this guy on.

Response from developer

Sorry for the disappointment. Server and routing costs mean I am unable to offer free daily routes, but I appreciate you taking the time to try Rods.

Need CarPlay and French

Good

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! CarPlay is already supported in the app. What else would you like to see? Write to me at tadas@driverods.com.

App behind paywall, can’t delete account.

Don’t download, this app will force you to pair a credit or debit card and won’t let you delete your account, I saved myself before any charges could be made but I see the shady practice in action, be careful

Response from developer

Hey, sorry about the settings not appearing before the trial. Thats fixed in 1.7.6. Nobody is forcing you and even if you forget that you started a 14 day trial, you can always refund it within 90 days. Hope you give it another shot.

Excellent potential!

This could easily be the only driving app I use! Its great for navigating the city but really shines when you make a route and rip it around gravel roads! The creator is also always taking feedback and is super nice! Give the app a shot, you've got nothing to lose and plenty to gain!

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for the kind words! What would you like to see next? Let me know at tadas@driverods.com 🏎️

Stuck

Doesn’t let me create an account. I’m stuck on the log in page. Love the concept, not so much the experience.

Response from developer

Hey Potatotwist, I'm sorry for the trouble. This issue is already fixed. Could you please try again and let me know at tadas@driverods.com if you're still stuck?

Really cool idea

I love the idea and seems like its great quality the only thing that i wish was that it was free

Response from developer

Amazing work

I’ve been using this for about 5 hours so far and I’ve had a great time the call outs are at a good pace for most part and it’s pretty immersive can’t wait to see what’s next.

Deceptive

Saw an ad for this online, looked great! Downloaded it only to find out that you can only use it with a subscription, which wasn’t mentioned in the ad at all. Either be upfront about the subscription or give us a free option

Response from developer

I'm sorry the subscription caught you by surprise. I try to keep pricing clear in the app store listing, but navigation and map server costs mean Rods requires a paid subscription to operate.

Useless

I am very disappointed with this app. After purchasing a subscription, it still shows that I have no active subscription and I cannot access the paid features. I have checked my account and payment, and everything has gone through correctly, but the app does not recognize it. This is extremely frustrating and makes the subscription useless. I expected better reliability and customer support. I do not recommend this app in its current state.

Response from developer

Hey, sorry that this happened, there was a bug with an entitlement and is already fixed. I understand how frustrating that was, especially when you started yuor free trial. Please do give it a try now to fully experience the app 🫶🏻

Race tracks

Would it be possible to add free hand points? I was trying to map
Sonoma Raceway but the routing did not work maybe because it’s a private road? Also if it would be possible to map out auto cross layouts that are shareable it would be awesome.

Response from developer

Thanks for the 5-star review and feedback! Route planning currently relies on public road maps, but free roam is available anywhere. Feel free to write to me at tadas@driverods.com.

Great app low cost for

Small team very responsive, does really great work building this app to something that’s easier to use to make rally style callouts for driving. Some hiccups and bugs as it’s early on in the development but it’s worth a download to try if you go out driving often.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot!🚗❤️

Awesome experience

This is like Google Maps but better. You can still navigate to places but it’s so much more immersive when you get to feel like a rally driver. A definite must-have for weekend backroad driving.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for your feedback!
