Bad update

I’ve been using this app for many years as a full time RVer. It was one of my favorite and preferred apps until your “update.” Now I find myself looking at an alternate rest area app option. You’ve added advertisements and have made the app no longer user friendly. I had favorites saved and can no longer access those. Poor choice to make changes from what used to be a great and easy to use app

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. The app has always had ads, but yes I had to change how they are displayed to be compliant with the advertising agency that I'm using. There is an in-app purchase that will allow you to remove the ads. Displaying ads is the only way I can afford to keep this app operational. If you email me I can manually transfer your favorites for you.

Upgrade Issues

While I appreciate the upgrade you guys worked so hard on the app is now harder to use. There is no way to make comment or rate the stops anymore and I have to watch an ad every time I try to get directions to the stop. Where did all my previous badges go? Also the check in feature never works since upgrade.

Response from developer

Thank you for the constructive feedback. The comments were removed because the majority of them were either gibberish, spam, or vulgar. I decided it was not worth the effort to monitor them. I'm still in the process of getting the ratings back in. If email me I can manually transfer over your badges.

New update

I have been using this app for a long time and love it !! The new update is pretty cool but it shows a rest stop closed and when we came past it was open and actually stopped and used the facilities I tried to update it but it wouldn’t let me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. Can you please email me the details of the rest stop you weren't able to update? That will help me track down and fix the problem. Thank you!

App gets better every time I use it!

At least, I’m constantly finding new useful features! The ease at which I can access different maps and tools is awesome!

A Traveling Must Have!

We grew use this App as we travel across this beautiful country of ours to find rest stops!!!
