### 3/5 — Doesn’t Let Me Choose Flying or Driving

*2025-08-21, version 1.2.1*

I don’t always want to fly! I live in Montana—we drive everywhere. I want to know how long it will take me to drive from point A to point B, not fly from the nearest airport to me to the nearest airport of my destination; eg., Florence, MT to Simms, MT. The app only gives flying distance & time. Very disappointing.

### 2/5 — Where is driving time??

*2025-06-17, version 1.2.1*

Worked momentarily for driving then quit

### 2/5 — Trip calculator

*2024-10-30, version 1.2.1*

This app is good when it gives you the driving distance but most of the time all it gives you is flying distance. This needs to be fixed.

### 2/5 — Travel Math

*2024-10-21, version 1.2.1*

This app no longer lets me select flying or driving options. Defaults to flying only and will not give me option to select driving. Removed and redownloaded app, still not working. So frustrating

### 2/5 — Driving miles option

*2024-09-26, version 1.2.1*

I agree with the truck driver. I couldn’t switch from flying miles to driving miles distance either. Where’s the option to switch?

### 3/5 — Needs to update to choice of flying/driving

*2024-08-29, version 1.2.1*

As others have stated sometimes the app shows both flying and driving and other times it only gives flying as an option without being able to show driving distance.
It’s too bad because it’s a great app when it gives you the choice.

### 2/5 — Something is wrong

*2024-07-29, version 1.2.1*

I am another unhappy user.  This has been a go-to for me for years and suddenly I am only getting flying times.  Those are useless.

### 4/5 — Will not give drive option

*2024-06-01, version 1.2.1*

Although I have used this app for two years, in the last few months it will only load a flying option. It is impossible to change to the driving option. Please fix this !

### 1/5 — FIX THE APP!

*2024-05-27, version 1.2.1*

You advertise flying AND driving calculations but there's only flying. No way to change it, and you even ask for MPG! For what? My plane?

### 3/5 — I like this app, for the most

*2024-04-14, version 1.2.1*

First, you must enter MPG and gas price in order to have Driving miles calculate.  Otherwise, only flying miles calculate, which is just not the best option to default to in my opinion.  Under the gear (preferences), there really should be a preferred method of transportation.

Calculations are pretty quick, and accurate, but no indication of route being used to calculate the mileage.  So, you have to break up your trip in smaller junks to get mileage for your intended route. Which really takes so d time and planning.

Second, selecting an entry to re-type a different location (city) is next to impossible.  I have to click at the end and the click delete multiple times to remove an entry so I can enter a different location.

It’s not a great app, but it does the job.

### 1/5 — Only flying options

*2024-02-19, version 1.2.1*

The app defaults to flying miles with no option for switching to driving. Please fix this.

### 3/5 — Trips

*2024-02-17, version 1.2.1*

I loved this app so much until recently. I always counted on it and it was priceless to me . Until I put in a location and wanted to see how far to my destination and all it shows is via flying. Some locations to a particular destination will work however, others only show via flying and the bar across the top only shows flying. You have no option to choose driving like I used to . I did delete app and reinstalled but the same problem. Ugh

### 1/5 — Does not show mikeage

*2024-02-16, version 1.2.1*

The app no longer shows distance in miles - only inflight - totally useless now.

### 2/5 — Can yall update this thing already? 🙄

*2024-02-14, version 1.2.1*

Hurry up!

### 2/5 — Driving distance calculator

*2024-01-19, version 1.2.1*

I have been using Travel Math since I had my RV. Recently, Travel Math only calculates travel distance by plane without giving the option to compute my driving distance. If the app. Developers can fix this bug it would be greatly appreciated.

### 2/5 — Driving choice?

*2024-01-05, version 1.2.1*

I also have been using this app for a long time and all of a sudden, it just uses flying. We drive all the time and want the driving choice back!

### 1/5 — Trip calculator

*2024-01-01*

This app is good when it gives you the driving distance but  most of the time all it gives you is flying distance. This needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Not useful

*2023-12-07, version 1.2.1*

I have used the Travel Math website for years to find the nearest airports to a city, and the app was similar.  Now you have to put in 2 locations which makes it more difficult.

### 3/5 — Option needed to select flying or driving

*2023-11-09, version 1.2.1*

First off I’ve been using this app for a few years now for truck driving. It usually works well. However, recently I’ve been noticing of the app automatically selecting flying miles to with no option to switch to driving miles. Not good! Example: picking up freight in Rockford IL and heading to Bonduruant, IA. 
The app automatically showed “flying” miles and there was no indication of driving mile calculation. I’m finding this happening more and more with this app.
I need “drive”miles calculated.
Please fix this or add an option to select  flying or driving.

### 1/5 — Update App

*2026-06-01, version 1.2.1*

Needs to update to latest IOS as no longer functions. Use to use all the time and it worked well.

### 1/5 — Same Negative Review

*2026-01-20, version 1.2.1*

I feel the same as others…been using for years, no longer have drive/fly option.  It was great until you changed it.  I deleted the app until you get back.  Most useful version is the DRIVE calculator!!!!

### 1/5 — Fix the type of travel flight/drive NOW!

*2025-07-20, version 1.2.1*

I have used this app for many years and loved it, but now it has a glitch that needs fixed!!! It doesn’t give you the choice between drive or fly anymore. It just gives you one or the other with no way to change it to what you want. There used to be a choice at the top before you entered your location and destination. Now that bar is gone. This app isn’t useful if you can choose your mode of travel, if you can, it’s a great app with great info! Please fix it now!!!

### 1/5 — App needs an update

*2025-07-07, version 1.2.1*

After 9 years please update this app

### 1/5 — What happened to the Drive calculator

*2025-06-02, version 1.2.1*

What happened - I used this so much before when going to and from by car - now just flight info??

### 1/5 — Unhappy

*2025-05-23, version 1.2.1*

As soon as I downloaded the App. I was charged $34.98. If Customer Service refunds me I can possibly change my review. As of now, I’m not satisfied.

### 1/5 — No longer gives driving miles

*2025-05-04, version 1.2.1*

Bummed that driving miles are no longer an option.

### 1/5 — No Driving, Only Flight

*2025-03-08, version 1.2.1*

This is really strange because they used to be a driving distance map. But now there is only a FLIGHT distance on the app!  What happened?  I’m looking for the driving distance between states.  It only shows the distance by FLIGHT now!  No driving distance listed.  What happened?

### 1/5 — Driving is MIA

*2024-12-18, version 1.2.1*

I need the drive math not the flight math and it is not available anywhere in the app!  
This has been an issue for far too long, please get it fixed!

### 1/5 — Frequent User (formerly)

*2024-07-06, version 1.2.1*

This used to be my “go to” app for picking stopping places to overnight. Can’t use anymore because it stopped offering the “driving” option. Who cares how many miles there between A & B if you’re flying.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-05-15, version 1.2.1*

This is a great app but there needs to  be able to use it for electric vehicles. Hopefully that’s possible.

### 5/5 — Driving Distances.

*2023-08-30, version 1.2.1*

I have used this app very often and it has helped to provide me information to plan my trips. Mostly, I drive therefore I’m more interested in getting driving distances not flight distances, however very recently I discovered that in many instances the app shows only flight distances which surprised me that the ability to see driving distances is no longer available. I will be happy if this is reviewed and brought back. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Add a save trip feature

*2019-02-08, version 1.2.1*

I do a lot of road trips and often need to calculate more than one location at a time.  A “save trip” feature would be very helpful.  That way I wouldn’t need to keep putting in information as travel plans are changed.

### 5/5 — Great Free App!

*2018-07-31, version 1.2.1*

No nonsense, simple app. Very nice. No advertisements.

### 5/5 — International too

*2018-06-08, version 1.2.1*

This is great, also international routes!

### 5/5 — Invaluable app- A SERIOUS MUST

*2018-05-08, version 1.2.1*

If your after an app to make your holiday abroad, or I guess , just using for home, this is the 1 & only app I’d recommend. I’m currently on a road trip across the US, ( our 1st trip here) and this particular app has SERIOUSLY made my life so much easier as far as working out my daily driving journey’s. A+++++. Love it/ THANK YOU-👍. Coming from an AUSSIE, this isn’t something it take lightly- CHEERS

### 5/5 — Very Helpful

*2016-11-27, version 1.2.1*

As a frequent traveler this is one of my essential tools.

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2016-09-30, version 1.2.1*

I enjoy this app very much. I do a lot of traveling and I always like to know how far, how long...thanks for the info!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2016-05-21, version 1.2.1*

We used this last year for 6 weeks on our American road trip. It helped plan the trip before we left the uk and was accurate and helpful every day. We will be using again for our European road trip, coming soon....

### 5/5 — Driver

*2016-05-03, version 1.2.1*

Helped me out a lot with my trip planning
