Terrible app
We are trying to use the app eastbound and it doesn’t work at ALL
You can’t enter your location and destination and get any information at all.

Worst App I have ever paid money for.
Horrible functionality, not adaptive to historical route, have to continue to click in and out to see attractions and I takes you back to where you are currently located. Total waste of money.
No hotels or POIs
I purchased this so that I could plan my itinerary in advance. Unfortunately the hotel and POI screens are all blank so I’m unable to do anything. The developer has contacted me to explain the issue and that a fix is on the way. This has not happened.
Over priced and not fit for purpose
The navigation function on this app is awful. The ETA’s and driving times don’t make sense. There is no way of saving POI’s that you want to stop at along the way. Save yourself 35 bucks and use google maps.
Not impressed so far
There should be a way to search POIs by name rather than just scrolling. You can bring up POIs and group by state but towns and POIs are not in alphabetical order and no search tool is available. Makes it very tedious to find a particular POI within possibly hundreds. Also the feedback feature within the tool isn’t working, tried numerous times.

times in car play are all wrong
the the navigation is telling me that I will make it 505 miles and 3 1/2 hours so unless I’m speed running Route 66 at 144 miles an hour that is incorrect
CarPlay claim is BOGUS!!
I rely on CarPlay on my screen but this app displays only a blank map. It is completely useless to anyone who doesn’t have a passenger who can use the phone on the trip. I feel completely conned and will NOT recommend this app to anyone. I wouldn’t have purchased this but for the promise of CarPlay. What a sad business practice.

Overall worked well
This app does have its quirks, especially on reroutes, but overall did the job on our trip. We would have struggled to not miss the all of the points of interest without it. One recommendation- increase the poi alert distance to .5 miles out instead of .2. We had no issues with CarPlay as some others have reported.

Quirky
I downloaded and paid for 7 day trial of navigation. Does not talk…does not work in landscape…but it is helpful.
Route 66
The app is helpful but other apps are available for free just as good. If I knew what the app was like and the attraction / viewpoints it missed a lot out I wouldn’t have purchased
Took my money
Charged my card but never got any type of update and only shows the option for me to purchase again. Don’t waste your time.
Needs Updating
No Satellite, missing a lot of attractions.
Did not like
Could not get maps to download. Eventually just deleted it
Might be the only game in town
I completed Chicago to Santa Monica in May, 2026 on a motorcycle, taking 18 days. I could not have used a guidebook very easily so this app was essential. I could not have done it without the app. BUT, the “places to visit” tab gives you a very uncurated list of waypoints, some of which are just restaurants that appear to have submitted their own promotional info to the developer and are really not useful, others are like maybe #6 on a 0-5 scale of “ interesting,” and some are on the wrong side of an interstate section so the navigation keeps taking you around in a circle. The navigation section of the app can be exasperating (see above) and has some glitches that should have been worked out by now. I could not get it to lead me from point to selected point on a day’s travel— it always wanted to lead me from my day’s start to the next site. I spent a lot of time swearing at it!

Great App
I did the Route in 2019 and used the EZ guide. Tried the app this time along with the EZ guide and it was a game changer. No longer having to have your head in a book trying to figure out the next turn as copilot. Actually getting to sit back and enjoy the ride was priceless to me! Will gladly buy again when we go back to Route 66!

Frustrating
Super frustrating to use for navigation. Closes out, loses location - I had to reenter starting points multiple times. The cool sights to see were called out as we were passing them so by the time we could tell the kids, we were already past.
Cool idea, but needs some work

Waist of Money
The turn by turn instructions are so small they are almost impossible to read. Then, the instructions are horrible. In one example the instructions said to Turn onto Historic Route 66. Since much of the route is on the frontage road of Interstate 40 I turned down the frontage road on the north side of the Interstate. In about a block there was a sign warning the road ended with no way out. (This was not a temporary sign.) I made a u turn and went to the south side of the Interstate and there was no frontage road. I then got on I-40 which is what the instructions should have said. In my wildest dreams I would never call Interstate 40 Historical Route 66. This type of instruction was the rule not the exception.
When driving a yellow warning message would pop up and describe a point of interest. This message stayed on the screen for about 5 seconds give or take 3 seconds. I didn’t use a stopwatch but counted 1 one thousand etc. By the time you saw it you didn’t have time to read it and before it disappeared. The type on these messages was also extremely small.
I also was never able to put an actual address for a destination, only a city. That meant I needed to switch to a GPS when I got close to my destination.
Before you buy this app look at picture they show and imagine trying to read it on your phone going 50 mph.

Expensive and frustrating
The app randomly shuts down while navigating, it will freeze, and if you switch between apps it stop navigation. I paid for the $20 for 7 days and fought with the app for 7 days. Tried to report the issues and got no feedback. So frustrating. If they fix the issue and price point it would be a good app.

No sync
Wow, no sync. After paying $44 I was disappointed the app isn’t usable between the iPad and iPhone - when the trial did. The response, this isn’t within our ability to make this right.
Now I can’t use the CarPlay feature! Bummer.

Couldn’t give me directions from Kingman AZ to Holbrook AZ on Route 66????
