What's New in USA Rest Stops

5.1.0

August 24, 2026

I hear your feedback and have read the reviews. This new version brings back the "browse by state" option and I've changed how the ads are displayed as well as the content displayed in those ads. Unfortunately ads are a necessary evil as that's the only way for me to keep this app going. Please email me with any other comments or concerns. - Browse by state in addition to typing a state name in the search bar - Larger fonts to make it easier to know what to tap - Changed how ads are displayed to make them feel more seamless with the app - Added the "Feedback" button to the settings panel - Added text explaining why an account is required to edit a rest stop's details

User reviews

Very useful, tons of rest stops

I’ve been using this app for years. The latest update was a little rough but it seems to be trending in the right direction. I’m glad the state tab is back. The route feature is still neat so I can see every stop on my route. Still the best rest stop app out there in my opinion despite the ads (which are much better now than before).

Fraud on credit card

The app does not work last me it used to work. Makes you put in a credit card but says is free. Then fraudulent charges appeared on my credit card. I had to cancel the card. Used to be a great site for finding rest areas where me travelling throughout the USA. So disappointed.

Poor App Update

New update has REMOVED the ability to write a review for a specific rest area, unless you are able to “ check in “ at the rest area. If you are forced to pass a rest area that was showing in the app as OPEN, but then discover that it is CLOSED as you drive by it, you won’t have the ability to “ check in “ and leave an updated message to fellow drivers that it is actually CLOSED. The new Ad feature is very annoying as well, but it’s understandable that it’s needed to generate revenue.

Upgrade sucks

Pop up ads that can’t be dismissed. Forced to sign into Google or Apple. Can’t search by highway. You’ve ruined your app

Almost useless Now

The last update really changed this app..& not in a good way.. All I want to see are rest areas ahead of me in the direction Im going on the interstate im on.. Its just a mess now.!
