I tried General addresses such as Albuquerque, NM to Dallas, TX and it was still unable to recognize them. Deleting. ### 1/5 — Perhaps don’t publish until the app is ready for use *2018-12-23, version 2.0.6* They say to use the web browser version, but that doesn’t work either. It says it’s unable to use your location. Then it says it can’t connect to the internet. My internet connection is fine. ### 1/5 — Simply does not work *2018-12-18, version 2.0.6* Promising idea. It would be great to plan a trip a week in advance and choose a route based on weather in the winter. But the app simply does not work. It should be taken down. Don’t put your home address in it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2018-12-06, version 2.0.6* No matter how I format it, I can’t get any address combination to work. I tried: commas, no commas, caps, no caps, abbreviations, no abbreviations, etc. I even thought my addresses might be on lesser known streets so I tried the addresses of major landmarks in the corresponding cities. It’s all invalid. Additionally, even if it did work it doesn’t support the copy/paste tool so all addresses have to be typed by hand. That makes entering unfamiliar addresses unnecessarily frustrating and increases potential for mistypes. I’m disappointed because I would love an app that shows the weather along my travel route rather than having to piece together routes and local weather forecasts from several sources. ### 1/5 — Not Prime Time *2018-11-25, version 2.0.6* Loaded it and tried it. Just like previous commenters, it didn’t work. I put in departing from Spring, TX to Oklahoma City, OK. It came back and said “Sorry, the address you specified is invalid.” The authors need to take the app down until it is workable. With a rating of 1, people won’t even bother to download it. We need an app like this. Hope you can make it work. ### 1/5 — If I could rate lower, I would *2018-11-25, version 2.0.6* Don’t bother with this app. I’m convinced no one monitors or updates it. No matter the combinations of address types I try (city, state) or (specific addresses at start and end locations), I just get an error message, making the app totally unusable. ### 1/5 — Not working *2018-11-22, version 2.0.6* Great when it worked...but a hot pile now. Type in any address and “Sorry, the address you specified is invalid. Please try again” is all you get, even with their own example address. ### 1/5 — Absolutely ridiculous *2018-11-18, version 2.0.6* You promised to fix the problems. I read your responses saying you would fix them and you respond in your own words not cliche responses that all say the same exact words. This is why I believed “hey they probably fixed this because they told each and every person that they would.” NOPE. Didn’t work at ALL. “Chicago, IL is an invalid city. Please try again.” What?^^ It’s 2018. This concept shouldn’t be complicated. ### 1/5 — Would be great if it works *2018-11-14, version 2.0.6* This app doesn’t work no matter what address to put in it constantly says address is invalid please fix your app because I could really use this when traveling back to my hometown especially during the winter ### 1/5 — Can’t find address *2018-11-06, version 2.0.6* I need to get to an airport from my home and it said the address couldn’t be found. Since it didn’t specify which address was the problem, I tried both a couple ways (current location, my home’s address, the address of the airport, the name of the airport), everything pulled up but when I hit go it would say not found. ### 1/5 — Unable to enter address *2018-10-24, version 2.0.6* Same as one of the other reviews I read, I was not allowed to enter my trip in formation due to the error message telling me that the address was not valid. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-09-15, version 2.0.6* Tried various inputs for addresses. All invalid, even the auto fill addresses which I’d assume would be correct. Possibly include a formatting example of the address of how it’s enter is that particular. ### 1/5 — Address Invalid—Can’t get past step one *2018-09-14, version 2.0.6* Every time I enter my “To:” and “From:” information it just says “Sorry, the address you specified is invalid. Please try again.” I have literally tried everything. City and state, exact home address, gps “current location” and destination address, gps “current location” and city of destination. It makes no sense because when I type the address, it predicts the rest and a scroll bar comes down that I can select it from. So how is it invalid?!?! NOTHING WORKS!! And I’m about to lose my mind. Negative star ### 2/5 — Server down ? *2018-04-20, version 2.0.6* The app has the right idea. They got the route going but kept giving me error messages while it was loading the weather. ### 1/5 — One star is as low as I could rate this app *2018-03-31, version 2.0.6* I downloaded the app and for two days it will not connect to the server. If I could have given it a negative rating I would have. I will delete the app as soon as I submit this review. I am sure there are apps that work. However, to be fair it is free so the price is hard to beat. On a positive note, you get what you pay for! ### 1/5 — Still not updated. *2018-03-10, version 2.0.6* I see many complaints of error message last year, but nothing has been done about it since it’s still happening. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Simply doesn’t work *2018-02-12, version 2.0.6* Although free, there is no point even downloading it. When you enter your origin and destination, it will just say it cannot reach the server. I guess you might say it's worth every penny you pay for it. That's a shame; it's a great idea. ### 1/5 — Why is this even listed? *2018-01-16, version 2.0.6* This app does not work. AT ALL. It will connect to the server. Doesn’t even try. Just delete it if you’re not going to fix it. It looked like it was going to be pretty good. Too bad there’s no server to support the app. ### 1/5 — Too Bad *2017-12-18, version 2.0.6* It simply doesn't work. It will map the route just fine, but it just clocks and never produces the weather. I tried it for a couple of days thinking it might be having a bad day. No luck. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless app *2020-01-03, version 2.0.6* The app and website are pretty useless I’ve tried every address format possible and tried multiple addresses and get an invalid address error every time. Even if you select use current location it says unable to find nearby address. Hopefully the developers will fix the issues because the concept is cool and it would make planning long trips a lot easier. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-09-10, version 2.0.6* Took me about 5 minutes to get so frustrated with this app I had to delete it. No matter how many times I tried, it would not accept an address. Also, when I tried to use my location, it couldn’t find me. Garbage. ### 1/5 — Hasn’t work on apple products forvyears *2019-07-29, version 2.0.6* Used this app extensively for several years on iphone. Then it would not show locations or routes. Call the developers and was told they were working on the app for ios. After 2 plus years I am still waiting. Was a great app but not is just junk. App should be removed from app store. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-05-20, version 2.0.6* Not worth your time. Great concept, but it couldn’t find any starting address, even with the current location option. Developers: fix that feature first, then re-release and we’ll see if you’ve got a viable product! ### 1/5 — Not good *2019-05-10, version 2.0.6* I tried this map to navigate during severe weather and it did not work. Was not able to pick up my address. I really needed this at this time due to floods on several roads. ### 1/5 — Caution:Read ratings before downloading *2019-02-19, version 2.0.6* This app does not work at all on my iPhone 6. It will not recognize any address and gives you zero instructions. If I am doing something wrong I have no earthly idea what it could be! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-02-04, version 2.0.6* Cannot “find address” even when you just enter a city and state. It’s obvious that the developers have not done a good job and are not trying to work out the bugs in this app. ### 1/5 — Address always comes up as invalid *2019-01-19, version 2.0.6* This app has the potential to be incredible. Unfortunately, he address always comes up as invalid. Please fix it. I believe it could saved lives. Thank you. ### 1/5 — All Addresses Invalid *2019-01-18, version 2.0.6* Same problem as many others. All addressed input, no matter how formatted, are rejected as Invalid. Last update was 2 years ago. Has it been this way for 2 years? ### 1/5 — Won’t accept address *2019-01-06, version 2.0.6* Great concept but horrible execution. Won’t accept any address or even use the current location. Deleted the app 10 minutes after downloading it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Can not connect to server *2018-06-15, version 2.0.6* I have not been able to use app since downloading it. Great idea....too bad it doesn’t work. ### 5/5 — Perfect and simple app *2017-01-03, version 2.0.6* Planning a drive for my mother and this is exactly what I needed! None of the more complex dopler apps provided clear data. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted *2016-11-23, version 2.0.6* Why hasn't anyone else thought of this?? I'm usually stuck checking the weather of multiple cities or areas along my route. Way more convenient. ### 5/5 — This App Needs to be Promoted *2016-06-04, version 2.0.6* I have been looking for an similar to this due to all the changing weather conditions here in Central Texas. Here it is and easy to use with great information. I'm glad to see this out there. Would be nice to use as you drive to keep up with changing weather conditions. Still a great app! **Developer response:** The next update has an auto-refresh feature which will update the weather information whenever it is newly available, stay tuned! ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2016-04-01, version 2.0.6* Needed to know the weather forecast for a trip to Orlando and guess what... There's an app for that!!!! And a perfect one at that. I could not of asked for better accuracy for weather along our route... Well done! ### 5/5 — Perfection. *2016-03-31, version 2.0.6* I've been wanting an app that shows weather along a travel route for a long time - Weather on Wheels delivers exactly the information I want in a way that's easy to understand - plus, it's FREE. Doesn't get much better than that. Thanks, devs! ### 4/5 — What Hapoened? It use to work great! Can't reach Server *2017-03-31, version 2.0.6* I guess it might be unreliable. When it work this was a great app. I hope they fix the problem. ### 4/5 — What a great idea! *2016-07-25, version 2.0.6* …but the first time I tried to use the app, I got this message: Sorry, the server is unreachable. Please try again later. ### 3/5 — It was great when it worked *2017-08-05, version 2.0.6* This was a fantastic app when it worked but it hasn't worked for months now. I don't want to delete it since I'm hoping the app developer will fix it. But right now it's totally unusable. ### 3/5 — Server Unreachable *2017-02-26, version 2.0.6* Been trying to use this for three days and get the message, "server unreachable." What's up??? I have used this as recent as a week ago and good app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
