Not Worth the Effort

I have access to the digital Milepost online through my purchase of a printed copy, but I never could get it to load in the App without making another purchase, because the app would never recognize my login. Purchasing it again for the app didn’t make sense, especially since it works only when you have cell service while traveling on the road. My solution was to download a PDF version to my iPad and that works great. So, don’t bother with the app.

Does not sync with paper purchase

I was hoping to use the app as I traveled the Alaska Highway in conjunction with the paperback version I purchased. I could not login using the digital login I had created with the online version. Instead the app asked me to purchase the rights to use the app. Not good!!

Unable to download or login

Downloaded the app and attempted to use the digital code from my hardcopy Milepost. I could create the account and the website accepted the digital code as valid with no problem, but after that I was caught up in an endless cycle of having to reenter my password. The printed version is great but I have yet to find an app or any other electronic access that works. I’d buy a pure electronic version but I think I’d be stuck with the same problem of “I paid, now what?” with no access.

Failed to login

Even though I have an account and use the correct credentials I get the error message “failed to login” without further guidance….

Very frustrating poorly, nearly impossible to login

The app is so buggy you can log in , the direct website will work one day then the next day take you onto a completely different landing page and will not allow access. The book seems good, expensive consider the digital side is useless in its current state.
