What's New in The Long Way

5.0

August 11, 2026

Unlimited Route Calculations: Free accounts can now calculate as many routes as they want. The weekly limit has moved to exports — you get 3 free exports per week (sending a route to Apple or Google Maps), with unlimited exports on Premium. Explore as many routes as you like and only export the ones worth driving. Motorcycle Support: You can now add motorcycles alongside your cars — pick from a curated list of top brands (Harley-Davidson, Ducati, BMW, Kawasaki, Triumph, and more), enter your model, and optionally log your engine size and MPG. If you enter MPG, fuel cost estimates work just like they do for cars. Motorcycles show their own icon throughout the app — in your garage, on trip cards, and in the route selector. Smarter Route Suggestions: We've upgraded the AI powering our scenic route generation. Routes are now calculated with a more capable model, which means better road selection, more interesting waypoints, and descriptions that actually capture what makes a drive worth taking. Referral Codes: Sharing The Long Way with friends? Referral codes can now be entered at sign-up to track how you found us. If you received a code from a creator or friend, tap "Have a referral code?" on the sign-in screen to enter it. UI Polish The tab bar in My Drives has been cleaned up — it now uses icons only, giving each section more breathing room, especially on smaller screens. Bug Fixes & Stability: Fixed an issue where the export limit modal on guest accounts could be clicked through General performance and reliability improvements

User reviews

Nice app

Super nice app, and I use it on the weekends to go to random places, but whenever I try to purchase the premium membership, it’s doesn’t let me and the button just doesn’t work. Maybe if this app barely made the dev money, maybe that’s why. Overall, I like this app and it has a nice interface. Even though it’s most likely vibe coded.

A little too early rn

You can’t really use the app at all without an subscription. It’s also kind of buggy and says that I used up my 3 route limit without actually generating any routes. Apparently this bug is being fixed but it hasn’t yet. there’s a free trial for the pro version so use that before you try to use it beforehand and get frustrated

Motorcycles

This app seems great so far but I think motorcycles should be able to be added to my garage. It’d be super cool

Subscription

Seems really cool just isn’t free friendly since I can only do 3 routes a WEEK. If you want to use this app, it’s painful if u don’t buy the subscription.

Useless app

1 out of the 6 “features” are free. The app was made with Claude in a day. It’s super slow and looks awful. The “dev” spams tiktoks and argues in comments. Don’t waste you’re time 😂
