### 3/5 — Not that intuitive

*2019-12-21*

This is a relatively handy app but the interface isn’t great. It’s a bit clunky and there is no obvious way to add a new route. I have the full version but can’t add an additional route. 

It’s basically working as I’d hoped but for the inability to add a new route.
