### 1/5 — Sondra

*2026-05-11, version 5.1.2*

The app worked amazing until they updated it. Now it will not load or let me reset a password or anything

### 1/5 — Not a good experience, mostly broken

*2026-05-11, version 5.1.2*

This app has promise but is fundamentally broken.  

The most important feature navigation simply says “coming soon.  Navigation is not available.

POI search returns “unable to load results”

I don’t know how this app got pass the apple review process.  

This app had promise but it’s not usable in its current state.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Update

*2026-05-01, version 5.1.1*

I really wanted to try this app, but it never updates. I’ve left it for hours on a strong internet connection and nothing. Totally freezes up.

### 1/5 — At first it was great:(

*2026-05-01, version 5.1.1*

When I first installed it it was great.  I had set up an account and saved certain sites, ect….A few weeks later it wanted to do an update but never finished and I could not log in.  Son deleted and reinstalled it. After that I tried to log in and said there was no internet. I was sitting next to our modem at home.  I reached out to CS twice and no response. We leave to hit Route 66 and now I have to pint and find a new APP. Good thing there are a few out there.

### 1/5 — Unusable now

*2026-04-30, version 5.1.1*

I used this app a few years ago & it was a nice way to plan a great trip. I deleted it because I couldn’t get an update to download & the app stopped working altogether! I want to plan another trip so I tried again. It forces me to download & update but NEVER finishes! Ruined a really great app! I’m done!

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-04-28, version 5.1.1*

I couldn’t even get it set up. Every time I tried to create an account I got an error because of incorrect formatting. But it wouldn’t tell me what format was wrong. I also couldn’t get it to download anything. I have high speed fiber optic internet and after like 1 hour the dial was still spinning. I deleted and redownloaded twice and nothing worked. Essentially it does absolutely nothing. Also, the link to the app support takes you to a browser window that doesn’t open. So there is no app support.

### 1/5 — Does not download data

*2026-04-22, version 5.1.1*

This used to be a great app. We were planning to do another segment of Route 66 using this app. It will not complete download to update the data. It is now useless.

### 1/5 — Never completes downloading offline content

*2026-04-08, version 5.1.1*

This app promises turned by turn directions and points of interest, but those features require off-line content which never finish downloading. I gave it an hour with a strong fast Wi-Fi connection and then gave up. If there was even a progress bar that was rising I would’ve given it all night if it needed it, but all it gives you is a spinner and no way to tell if it’s even making progress so I’m not going to mess with it anymore.

### 1/5 — Totally Crashed

*2026-04-02, version 5.1.1*

I downloaded this app perhaps 5 months ago to plan my Route 66 journey. I was pretty amazed & pleased with all it had to offer. All set to use it for my trip starting on April 7th & 2 weeks ago it crashed - HARD! Keeps saying it needs to update navigation & loops for hours & hours to no avail. It never completes & will not function at all. Tried this again at least a dozen times with no luck. Deleted the app & reinstalled half a dozen times & still no luck. Had a friend download it so I could see if perhaps it was just my phone; & they had the same problem. Put in a Support ticket & I get an error message. This app has gone from the top to the bottom overnight. Very disappointed & scrambling for an app to replace it.

### 1/5 — Update

*2026-03-21, version 5.1.1*

Was an awesome app a few years ago. Now it tells me to update. Update never downloads and now I can even use the app anymore
