As others have said, it stopped working entirely this spring. Very sad…sure hope the developer brings it back! ### 1/5 — How do you even enter a location name to get started? *2025-07-02, version 1.3.8* App is immediately useless. I cannot fathom why, in 2025, this app doesn’t have the basic navigation functionality of allowing one to simply tap the map to set a destination, or enter a location name. I’m stunned at how awful and useless this app immediately is/was. Like, seriously, how? ### 1/5 — No longer maintained *2025-06-09, version 1.3.8* This app has not worked since around March. I had used it a few times and I really liked that I could dial in my scooter’s limitations and get a route that was perfect. I miss this app terribly. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2025-06-09, version 1.3.8* Non functional. ### 1/5 — Won’t Search Direction’s Route *2025-06-04, version 1.3.8* The app just won’t search the results/directions so i had to give it 0 stars for being inaccessibility. ### 1/5 — Wanted to give it a try but it doesn't work - doesn't recognize addresses and returns error codes. *2025-05-18, version 1.3.8* It only returns 500 internal server error for any attempt to get directions. Also many valid addresses are not recognized at all (and I don't mean obscure addresses - normal roads!) Great idea as I hoped this would help with LSV navigation which NO ONE serves. Just need to only use roads that have a 35mph (56kmh) or less speed limit. If it is fixed I'll try it ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore. *2025-05-07, version 1.3.8* Used to work fine, but hitting the “get directions” button does nothing now. Super disappointing. ### 1/5 — Does not work with IOS 18.3.2 *2025-05-06, version 1.3.8* App loads but does not respond when I submit a route ### 1/5 — App needs updating *2025-04-27, version 1.3.8* I would love to offer a review but the app continuously returns a 500 error. That either means the app needs updating or Magellan has abandoned it and has not removed it from the store. ### 2/5 — Doesnt work *2025-04-24, version 1.3.8* I downloaded this 2 weeks ago and it hasn’t worked once after trying it 4-5 times; I keep getting an error message. ### 1/5 — I wish it worked *2025-04-19, version 1.3.8* I really really wish I could use this app but when I try to navigate it gives me an unknown error. I’ve tried so many thing to see if it would work but nothing fixed it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work… *2025-04-19, version 1.3.8* I get an error every time I try to generate a route. I wish this worked! ### 1/5 — App don’t work *2025-04-17, version 1.3.8* I type in a direction and it constantly gives me an HTTP response error no matter what address I put in. Someone must have put in the wrong code for getting the API. ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2025-04-13, version 1.3.8* I used this app for 3 years and it was incredibly helpful to navigate roads on a 50cc scooter to avoid higher speed roads. Sadly, it no longer works. Very disappointing! ### 1/5 — API is Down *2025-04-06, version 1.3.8* App just throws api errors on any search at all ### 1/5 — No longer functional :( *2025-04-01, version 1.3.8* This app used to be a lifesaver. Unfortunately, routing no longer works. “Https failure”, maybe the devs stopped paying for hosting. Such a shame. ### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX *2025-03-25, version 1.3.8* App does not work at the moment please fix it. It has been like this for a while ### 1/5 — Used to work great *2025-03-09, version 1.3.8* I used this app for 2 years. Great directions for a low-speed Buddy scooter! Suddenly it throws an “unknown error” with any destination. Please fix! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Non-functional *2026-06-15, version 1.3.8* Unable to actually get directions/navigation. Selecting “Get Directions” does nothing, the app does not register a response. ### 1/5 — Awful App *2026-04-16, version 1.3.8* Maybe I could give a review if that app actually worked, it’s gives an error every time you put in an address. Useless ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2026-03-15, version 1.3.8* Errors out constantly. ### 1/5 — nonfunctional *2026-02-24, version 1.3.8* App doesn’t work please fix ### 1/5 — Was great, but now it won’t work *2025-09-22, version 1.3.8* App stopped working a little while ago. Can’t calculate a route. ### 1/5 — No longer working or supported *2025-09-11, version 1.3.8* I’m no longer to get this app to work on any device. I’ve tried every which way imaginable. I have tried reaching out to the developer and have received no response. It’s very unfortunate. This was a very good app that ai really liked. I’m super sad. ### 1/5 — Broken App *2025-08-14, version 1.3.8* I tried downloading and using twice and kept getting 500 internal error. Fix your app! This app is a great idea but in execution it is pure trash. What happened? Did tariffs scale down on quality? ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-07-25, version 1.3.8* Completely unusable you put in location and speed etc press get directions then NOTHING ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything *2025-07-19, version 1.3.8* It used to work months ago but doesn’t do anything when I put in address. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Won’t start route *2025-07-08, version 1.3.8* It won’t start route ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted. Thank you *2020-11-23, version 1.3.0* 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Genius! *2020-10-21, version 1.3.0* The app I’ve been waiting for! Thank you, ScootRoute, for making my scooter and bike rides safer and easier. ### 5/5 — I’ve been wanting an App like this for years. *2020-10-05* I had a 50cc Yamaha Vino for years and I will soon be the owner of a Honda Trail 125/CT125. Small displacement engines and US speed limits don’t always mix but this app lets you create a route with your top speed in mind. I can set a 45 mph max speed (the Trail 125 can go faster but gives you a little more wiggle room), and the app successfully routes me around highways and 55 mph county roads. I have two requests: allow for routes over 300 miles, and allow downloading maps for offline use, even if those are paid add ons. The scooter and low displacement motorcycle community will eat it up. ### 5/5 — Even great for city-to-suburb rides *2020-08-20* My son and I like to go on long bike rides. Scoot Route is great because it helps us avoid busy roads and hills. I have been able to explore brand new routes I never knew existed thanks to Scoot Route! ### 5/5 — Great for Bikes too! *2020-08-16* I bike to work every day and even though I can use Google maps I use ScootRoute to be on the safer side. I like it because the first thing they asked me is for Destiination and I’m usually in a rush. It’s become part of my morning routine and as the world opens up I can’t wait to use it to get all over the place. ### 5/5 — Great Idea *2020-08-12* Finally I can ride my scooter navigating routes that are scooter-friendly! The Bike Lane integration is also super helpful! Looking forward to plotting more routes!! ### 5/5 — Great Idea! *2020-08-12, version 1.1.0* Awesome application, great idea! Helps me navigate around streets and roads allowing me to avoid steep hills or highway speeds that are too fast for my scooter. ### 5/5 — Finally!!! *2020-07-09* I have been looking for help navigating the Boston streets for a long time. So excited to see this app in the store. ### 4/5 — Not working on my new iPhone 16e *2025-08-08* I’m only ably to get the app to open. Even after deleting and redownloading, I can even send a feedback or bug report from the app. It keeps saying internal server error. It ran flawlessly on my old iPhone. ### 4/5 — Great, could be greater. *2023-10-29, version 1.3.8* Please make 3D, Thank you. 😊👊 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
