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.
Book purchase does get you access but non-intuitive
So you create a digital account based on the book purchase. Then you end up and some third party digital magazine site, asking for the same information. If you don’t complete that second step (even though you already created a MilePost account), you can’t log into the app. Works fine if you do.
So it loses a star for that mess and loses another star for basically being a glorified PDF reader that doesn’t even work well. When zoomed in and moving around a page, it laps and has artifacts on screen.

Misleading advertising
Can’t use the digital. Bought the book with the idea that will have access to the digital version, but apparently you have to pay again,. Your advertising implies digital version access when buy the book ,,!,,,
This Milepost is not good anymore.
Completely out of touch, a relic of the 1990,s.
Much better Free Apps out there. Don’t waste your money and time.
Use Google Offline Maps in Alaska, or Travel Books.

Don’t wast your time.
Just read the rest of the reviews. Can’t even log in to get started. Online login to the digital version does not work either. Stick with the printed book.
Can’t even login / No support
Login works fine for website, login does not work for app, cannot reset password. Emailed support - absolutely NO response. Don’t waste your time. The developers of this app have never been required to use it since it does not work.
Free Access????
Both on the cover of the paper edition 2023 Milepost and inside state FREE access to digital edition but when registering with the priority access code your redirected to PayPal. NOPE
2023 and Milepost Charges For This?
Come on Milepost, I purchase your book then have to pay for a half-baked app that only works when I have internet service-IN ALASKA, REALLY? Please have your team step away from their desks and make something that really works and is helpful when traveling around Alaska WITHOUT INTERNET! I and many others would be willing to pay for something like that. ……until then Google or Apple Maps is more helpful, and they are free.

No issues logging in
Saw the reviews saying issues logging in. I had already set up the account and was logged in on the browser when I downloaded app. I clicked the 2022 version and it downloaded right away. No issues.
I think the idea of downloading a separate app rather than making it available through Apple Books or Amazon Kindle is dumb. I hate that its done this way. My 2 star rating is really a rebuke of this process. However the app does work.

You took something perfect and killed it.

Having driven up and down the AlCan 8 times in the past 30 years, it's been a staple to use the milepost, a hi-liter, and then reach out to the locals along the way for updates.
Why in God's name would you build an app that maps the wilderness of Canada and Alaska that NEEDS to use the internet?
Your app was replaced by a free map at the Stewart cutoff from a very friendly local.
I TRIPLE DOG DARE you to travel to Alaska using your own ap.

It's 2022 and still can't log in
Same as another reviewer, I bought the book and was anticipating the convenience of using the app. The web-based version of the book is not worthwhile. But even though I can log in to view that no problem, I can't log into the app, so that's a disappointment.
Terrible. Do not buy
The Milepost is a great resource but they should be ashamed of this product. Very expensive and does not download. Completely worthless. I am so angry and want my money back.
Wants to charge me full price
Does ask for my code
Scam Alert! Please read before giving them any money!
I installed the app and purchased the 2019 edition as an in app purchase for $24.99. As of one week, I’ve never been able to view a single page of it because when I try to view it, a pop up appears telling me I need to purchase it (again). I actually tried to purchase it again and another pop up appears telling me I already purchased it. I’m then given the option to view/download it and when I click it, a pop up appears again telling me I need to purchase it. It’s been this cycle repeatedly.
Now the shady stuff...they have a fake number listed so you can’t actually contact them to talk to someone (907-272-6070). They have two locations...I went to both and there’s nobody there for you to talk to at either one even though I went 4 times at different times of the day each time on weekdays between 9an-4pm...I was able to find a 1-800 number which I called and I was put on hold for a very long time after I explained my problem...they then told me they were transferring me to someone named Dave who would help me. After another long hold...I was connected to a voicemail asking me to leave my number and they’d call me back. Needless to say...that didn’t happen. Please read other reviews before you make the same mistake I did.

Can’t log in
Bought the book and wanted the app for easy access on the drive. Logged in to the website and created an account which led me to the app. Downloaded the app and now can’t log in with my information making the app useless since I’m not paying a second time.
Worthless
Its a piece of garbage. Don’t buy. Unable to load. Once loaded on newer device, unable to restore purchases. Waste of money.
