About

Loopr

Features
Read full description

Loopr turns a pile of addresses into a route you can actually drive. Add your stops, then let Loopr solve the fastest order β€” or drag them into the order you want. Every leg carries its own distance and arrival time, so you can see the whole day before you turn the key. Then press Start: the plan locks, Loopr tracks which stop you are on, and each leg is handed to Google Maps or Apple Maps for turn-by-turn. Built for delivery drivers and couriers β€” and just as good for sales calls, service jobs, showings, or a Saturday of errands. PLAN THE ROUTE β€’ Add up to 200 stops by search, by long-pressing the map, or from your current location β€’ Optimize solves the order for you β€” and always offers Undo β€’ Drag any stop into place by hand β€’ Start from where you are, or from a fixed first stop β€’ Finish by returning to the start, ending at a fixed last stop, or ending anywhere β€’ Distance and driving time sit on the line between each pair of stops SEE THE DAY BEFORE IT STARTS β€’ An arrival time on every stop β€’ Set a start time and the whole timetable shifts to it β€’ Set a finish-by target and Loopr shows your slack β€” green when the plan lands early, red when it runs over β€’ Set only a finish time and Loopr works backwards: "Leaves 12:40 PM β†’ done by 2:00 PM" β€’ Count time spent at each stop into the total, so the plan reflects the day and not just the driving DRIVE IT β€’ Start locks the plan so nothing shifts underneath you β€’ A progress bar, a NEXT badge on the current stop, and Arrived to move on β€’ Directions hands the current stop to Google Maps or Apple Maps β€” set one in Settings or choose each time SCAN A PACKAGE (PRO) β€’ Point the camera at a label to add its destination β€’ Reads QR codes and barcodes, or reads the printed address directly β€’ Text recognition runs on the device β€” nothing about the label leaves your phone β€’ Always asks you to confirm the match before it becomes a stop SAVE AND SYNC β€’ Save the routes you run again, and rename or reload them any time β€’ Sign in with Apple or Google and your routes and preferences follow you to a new phone MADE FOR THE ROAD β€’ Light and dark themes β€’ Miles or kilometres β€’ A package count on each stop β€’ No background location tracking β€” Loopr asks where you are only when you ask it to LOOPR PRO Free covers 10 stops per route and 3 saved routes. Pro lifts both β€” 200 stops and unlimited saved routes β€” and unlocks package scanning. Optimizing, reordering by hand and navigation handoff stay free. WHAT LOOPR DOES NOT DO Loopr plans the route and hands each leg to your navigation app; it is not a turn-by-turn app itself. Estimates come from typical driving times, not live traffic, and Loopr does not know a business's opening hours. Terms of Use: https://apploopr.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://apploopr.com/privacy
