Rōute keeps your whole trip in one place, laid out day by day, and it works whether or not you have a signal. Pay $4.99 once and it's yours. No subscription, no ads, no account to create. Your trips live on your phone. STOP TYPING IN YOUR BOOKINGS Open a confirmation email, tap Share, and pick Rōute. It reads the booking and pulls out the airline, the times, the flight number, the hotel, the confirmation number, and the address. You check it looks right and it drops onto the correct day. You can paste a confirmation instead, or upload the PDF, or share a Fora itinerary link. YOUR TRIP, DAY BY DAY Flights, hotels, cruises, activities, restaurants, transport and notes, each with a time, a confirmation number, an address and a booking link. Reorder a day by dragging. Attach the PDF so it's there when someone asks for it. Still deciding? Mark something tentative and it sits in the plan without pretending to be booked. Say who each thing is for when you're not all doing the same thing. Type a flight number and a date and Rōute fills in the rest. Pick how it looks: eight faces across five themes, from cream paper to true black. IT CATCHES WHAT YOU MISSED Rōute reads your itinerary for the mistakes people actually make. A connection you can't make. A night with no hotel booked. Two stays that overlap. Not enough time to get across town. Import a plan from somewhere else and it runs that check straight away, so you find out the connection is impossible before you're standing in the airport. Send the same confirmation twice and it shows you what changed. ON THE DAY, IT REACTS When a flight slips, Rōute works out what that does to the rest of your day and tells you that, instead of telling you the flight slipped. You land at 9:35 and dinner is at 8:00, forty minutes away. That is the thing worth knowing. Running late for your own reasons? Tell it, and the same thing happens. A slow lunch, a border queue, a taxi that never came. It stays quiet the rest of the time, and that is the point. A ten-minute delay that breaks nothing never interrupts you. A delay that fixes itself never reaches you at all. When something does go wrong it is one notification that keeps getting more accurate, never eight, and it always says why. A trip opens on the day you're on, with when to leave for each stop and what changed today, so nothing is lost by the app staying quiet. Live flight status carries the gate, the terminal and the times in each airport's own time zone. Near departure it moves to your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with a countdown. Sunrise and sunset sit on the day, because how much daylight you have decides how much fits in it. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Everything you've saved is on your device and readable on the plane, in a tunnel, or on a foreign SIM you haven't sorted out yet. The online parts step aside quietly when the network isn't there. TAKE IT WITH YOU Export a clean PDF itinerary to print or send to whoever's meeting you. Get a day's stops on a map, then hand any one of them to Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, Uber, Lyft or Grab. Search every trip you've saved by confirmation number, hotel, or city. WHEN YOU GET BACK Rōute Wrapped turns a finished trip into a card worth sending: the route you took, the days, the miles flown, the stops. There's a Year in Travel recap too. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS No account. Nothing on our servers. Your trips sync across your own devices through your own iCloud, and they ride your normal device backup. You can export any trip to a file and keep it forever. Try it free with two trips. Unlock unlimited trips once, and it stays unlocked. Part of the Āpex Suite by HYTimes App Studio. Pay once, own forever. No subscriptions.
