I downloaded it and was putting in my information when I was told I would get two days free and then would have to pay to continue. It didn’t say how much. Im very leery of on line purchases ### 3/5 — Maybe I don’t have it setup correctly *2024-10-15* I live near NY and Connecticut which has Parkways with very low bridges and no trucks or RV’s are allowed. I did use a truck app that did well but no CarPlay. I download this app because it had CarPlay and it is for Rv’s. Now my comments, 1st when you use CarPlay you get the map but no other info unless you look at the phone. Example, how far is it to your exit. If you’re listening to your radio and the app announcement comes on, your radio stops playing until you select it again. Lastly, on my last trip (190 miles) the app lockup 4 times. Good idea for this app but it needs a lot of updating ### 5/5 — Highly Reliable *2023-09-21* My wife and I have been full-time since May 2014. We were not initially aware of SmartRoute; I do not recall exactly when we found it, probably something my wife came across. For us it has saved us a number of times from routes from Google that have vertical clearance issues, weather closures in three round trips from Albany, Oregon to Raleigh, North Carolina with excursions to sightsee or visit family/friends in both directions. It has never failed to get us to/from an Interstate and an RV park without incident or clear routing through a urban area involving multiple interchanges beltways or other interstate highways. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for taking the time to post a positive review. We really appreciate it! Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or suggestions in the future. ### 4/5 — Best one so far *2023-06-03* Have used this app for trips across 10 states so far and with one exception, it gave us the best routing for our RV. Verbal and other audio alerts are helpful as is the ability to customize what the map shows and what alerts are received, e.g., truck stops by name and distance. The one exception for good routing took us through a dense urban area for about a mile- there was significant road construction everywhere so that may have been the reason. Overall, very satisfied and renewed the subscription. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to post your positive experience. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have suggestions for future features. Menu > Contact Us. We look forward to hearing from you. ### 1/5 — RV APP? *2023-05-31, version 3.1* This is a truckers app ! It appears to like city traffic. ### 1/5 — Has issues *2022-09-17* Gave us bad directions. We were heading down the Pennsylvania Turnpike and were told to “make a right”, which wasn’t an exit but the access road! Which of course was gated closed so couldn’t use it even if we wanted to. We went 30 minutes further out of our way to get to our destination. ### 1/5 — SmartRVRoute *2021-11-29* I would NOT recommend this app. I got it because we were heading cross country from Lake Ozark to Tupelo, MS. It seemed to work OK to Memphis although I missed a gas stop due to a road name change that had not been made. I also could not find a location for the RV Park, it was in the listing but did not seem to know where it was. The worst part was going through Memphis where it led us onto surface streets in not great condition and traffic lights rather than four lane limited access routes. NOT RV FRIENDLY!!! **Developer response:** Sorry you had difficulty. We want to investigate the route we provided and the settings used on the app during that time. Please call or text ‪(786) 445-0822. ### 5/5 — So helpful *2021-08-12* This apis great **Developer response:** Thank you! We are delighted to be of help. ### 1/5 — Will not route! Error 400 continually *2021-06-19* Inoperative on iOS 14 and over 60 fb of free memory! Unusable and a waste of time! **Developer response:** Please contact us directly so we can assist you. the app is iOS 14 compliant. Call or text ‪(786) 445-0822 or email to help@smartrvroute.com ### 1/5 — Wrong mileage - no customer service *2021-02-25* Wrong mileage and no way to contact someone! Send emails, nothing! My experience I was ripped off! **Developer response:** Please contact us directly so we can assist you. the app is iOS 14 compliant.
