## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — 👎

*2025-08-01*

Its stopped working

### 1/5 — The route is not “optimized”

*2023-04-18*

My familiar 1:50 drive is over 3 hours when planned by this app. Perhaps the route is a few miles shorter, but “ain’t nobody got time for that.”

### 1/5 — The app need a fundamental ability

*2023-04-09*

The app need to slow user to place a pin on the map to add to the destination list. Not always you know the address but know the place.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous routing👎🏼

*2023-04-07*

Ridiculous route to address only 50 miles away that I’m very familiar with

### 1/5 — Can't use it with Google maps

*2023-04-07*

It works only with Apple maps 
Which is not working in our country 😬

### 2/5 — Looks Promising, but…

*2023-10-24*

I couldn’t get it to accept any address I entered. The “Add” button never came on. Don’t know if this is a bug in the app or my doing something wrong. Perhaps the interface could offer a hint if there’s a trick to it?

### 3/5 — Works as designed, but ...

*2023-04-09*

Route is optimized only for driving distance, not time, and no way to change that.  I tried it on a familiar 60 minute drive.  The app shortened the driving distance by two miles, but drive time is 50% longer -- 90 minutes.  Through a complicated series of turns in major city traffic, it put me on a narrow, twisty, hilly two lane road for a ten mile stretch which closely parallels a fast interstate highway.  Optimal?  In terms of distance, yes, but at great cost in time and significantly greater fuel burn.  App is of no practical use to me.

### 4/5 — Need to be able to fix a starting point and an ending point

*2024-07-04*

I start my day at the same place everyday. I need to be able to optimize my stops based on that fact.

### 5/5 — Good🤘🏼

*2024-07-22*

It’s you need to get urself out of sticky situation.  Use this app you will be glad u did🥸

### 5/5 — Super Excellent

*2023-04-07*

Most needed tool finally created - thanks

Add ability to show name of location/ business that was in my search results to the turn by turn instructions 

Only shows the addresses which leaves me blind to the name of where I am going

Example- I search for Walmart in city X    It finds this place and it’s address.  Now be sure to say Walmart in city x in the turn by turn instructions 

Thanks !!!

### 5/5 — Finally! What I want!

*2021-07-21*

I’ve been looking for this for years and years. My old circa the year 2000 Microsoft maps app could do this and since then I’ve never seen this feature until today. 

My prayers have been answered. App works great.

### 5/5 — Works as described.

*2021-07-20*

No complaints, does exactly what it says it does. Lets you add in addresses for your trip and it optimizes the route.
