Road Tripper for Negative User Reviews
✓ AnnoyedDo not buy or download.... ABSOULTELY USELESS. CAN NOT EVEN FIND MY HOLIDAY DESTINATION!!!.Version: 3.7
✓ Cool app...Downloaded this app to help plan a 10 day east coast road trip. It has potential to be very handy..however needs many improvements. I found it challenging to intuit how to use, and the user guide minimal. Tried to upgrade for full use of features .... But nothing changed, functioning stayed the same.... Hopefully they get back to me on that soon . ... Would be a nice option to have the app synced up with landmarks, parks, attractions, business, etc. So you can see if there things of interest along your trip route. An ability to "plug" in multitudes of destinations on one map AND be able to rearrange the order later would also be a nice feature .... Then to be able to see to be able to see miles between each destination. AND the FULL trip highlighted on the map all at once. This app is One of a few of it's kind Out there ... so I hope they keep working on making it better and better..Version: 3.4
✓ DisappointedThis use to be the most important app for me in the world. But lately it's not worth it for me at all. Every time I pin point an address and I put in it about 15 at a time after I pin point them the address doesn't come up on the side of the pin point, so I have all these markings on my map but I have no idea which address it could be. A month or so back it was working perfect. I'm very disappointed..Version: 5.02
✓ Good start. Love the idea.Love the idea for the app but it still has a coupla big issues. Would be great if settings (miles vs. km, satellite vs. map, etc) could be adjusted from within the app rather than having to go to iPhone "settings" area. Also, my changes didn't take effect until I restarted my phone. Work out these issues and I'll give it 4-5 stars..Version: 3.3.2
✓ CrapI touch the map and it makes a point. I try to hold my finger to delete the point, it makes another one. I successfully delete it. Every other time I touch the map it makes a new point. After 2 minutes the app tells me I need the full version. I don't even know what this app has to offer as a result and I am now deleting it..Version: 6.12
✓ Poor designDifficult to work with, no guide or explanation provided, google maps is better.Version: 7.7
✓ Terrible due to Apple MapsThis app is really destroyed by a terrible map experience. So much is missing that its really hard to actually find the road you want to drive down, and it tries to suggest you drive over water sometimes meaning you have to make additional map points just to keep you on the road in the first place. Very disappointing.Version: 4.04
✓ Good idea, poorly executedHas a lot of great ideas, but not easy to figure out, even after reading the how to. I keep trying it again to see if it has improved, but it is just not very intuitive..Version: 7.11
✓ Rip Off Piece of GarbageBEWARE!! I would give it zero stars if I could. Poor instructions. Terrible ability to update routes and added points. Goes 'direct' (as the crow flies) even when you have via 'Car' selected. Their website does't work and it wasn't worth the time or money expended..Version: 13.4
✓ Perte de temps perte d'argentBug bug bug... Rien à faire aussitôt que l'on souhaite modifié un point dans un trajet, on se retrouve au premier way point...très désagréable et frustrant. À corriger impérativement!.Version: 7.3
✓ Glitchy appThis app is very glitchy. Keeps booting me out when I try to move points around. You can't just drag the route like you can in google maps. Makes it very user unfriendly. I'm so frustrated with it that I'm going to delete it..Version: 6.11
✓ Search function doesn't workMakes it useless as you can't search for Poi or Street name. Hard to navigate as clicking whilst scrolling maps automatically ads the way point. Try another app not this one.Version: 10.8
✓ Faulty search functionSearch function doesnt work. Makes it almost useless..Version: 10.8
✓ MrThe route type menu does not work now.....Version: 4.01
✓ Not easy to navigateInstructions are few, and you have to "search" around for answers. One cool thing is if there are alternates for your trip, it does list them, and you can decide which one is best for you. If they had all instruction in one place it would be an easy tool.Version: 4.02
✓ Not really FreeThis app is only free to download. To use any features beyond mapping routes to local places, which is best done by far superior map apps, you have to pay to use the main feature. They don't advertise this on their website where I found out about the app. Their website claims it to be totally free to get and use. Even on websites advertising anything that is not tru is still false advertisement..Version: 13.3
✓ WhyWhy is this app free and then once installed, asks for money to use basic features..Version: 12.2
✓ New version is very badIt keeps crashing on my iPad and I cannot open it at all. How can you release it without testing..Version: 6.0
✓ Another farseNot great untill you buy the version. By then i was tired of wondering how it worked.Version: 7.8
✓ Poorly designedRight away it zoomed me into New York when it had my current location half way across the us. It also has some preset locations which linked my destinations together instead of directing me from my current location. The design faults also include the set route completely covering the highway/interstate numbers making them impossible to read. Terrible. Won’t use anymore.Version: 16.3
✓ Marginal at BestOn the previous version the "The By Car" feature quit working so everything was "straight line". Updated and car feature seems to work but now the banner ads are back and the app wants me to pay another $1.99! This thing is far too buggy for me to recommend..Version: 3.7
✓ Great trip plannerThis is a GREAT road trip planner. To change distance from Km to miles, go to iPad/iPhone Settings app, find Road Tripper and tap on it and then change distance from Km to miles. Newest update (version 7.0) is terrible. I can access only one of my routes. Please fix ASAP! Version 7.1: This version is NO better. I still can access only one of my previous trip routes. Please fix ASAP..Version: 7.1
✓ Road TripperDoesn't load paid version. RT tells me to contact iTunes. Car route takes me through the neighbors's yards and not on the streets and highways. Should not have downloaded the paid version. Not worth my time and effort to contact iTunes for a problem or a refund..Version: 7.9
✓ Nice but...Not a bad app if you use it to follow Interstates but I couldn't get it to draw a route on the Blue Ridge Parkway without it taking me off the Parkway or me having to place way markers. It seamed a bit harder to navigate the App at first but after a while it became easier. Just wished you could put in a Named Highway and it would route you from start to finish..Version: 12.1
✓ Road tripperAbsolute rubbish no instruction and maps appear briefly then disappear , great idea but useless in practice ..Version: 3.8
✓ Total Waste of TimeSee Title - this app does not even begin to work..Version: 10.2
✓ Complete waste of $2This app is not easy to use - I found myself going to maps and on-line to do my road trip planning. Pins are hard to move around and it does not provide driving instructions -- it only draws inaccurate lines between destinations. Don't buy this..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Don't botherThis app does not work. Period. There is no clear way to plan a road trip, and even if it did, it doesn't have any way to filter searches. There is no auto-complete for map searches leaving you praying this app can find your destination. And there are glitches in the user interface that need to be resolved..Version: 13.2
✓ Need to buy in app purchases first!!Not a useful app at all since you have to buy in app purchases in order to log in any of the history or interesting sites to see along the way so I will just go to a different app instead.Version: 15.14
✓ Only in Km and not miles?It seems like this is exactly the app that I'm looking for except I cannot seem to find an option to change the distance from kilometers to miles. :(.Version: 4.02
✓ Poor updateThe app worked better before the update .....test before you release updates!,.Version: 6.131
✓ Do not botherThis application uses the new seriously flawed Apple maps, so this has no benefit over the native Apple application. Do not even waste your time down loading this application..Version: 4.04
✓ MPartial display on iPad, iOS 5. Not very intuitive. Hoping for an update soon as it is. Not fully functional..Version: 6.1403
✓ Terrible!!!This app is awful!!!!! It is impossible to work. I am confused and unable to set more then one location. It also tricked me into paying 2.99. I thought that if I upgraded to the full app it would open option to make a road trip but nothing changed with multiple way points but nothing changed! 😡😡😡😡.Version: 7.0
✓ Waste of Time & MoneyWaste of $3.00. Confusing to use. Can get the same results from my google maps. I thought it would give you interesting points of interest along your routes. If it does I can't figure it out!.Version: 10.8
✓ It's a map and that's itNot sure of the point. No different than google or apple maps..Version: 5.10
✓ Added CostI purchased the full version of this app about a year ago. I have been very pleased with it. It appears that this new version will now require you to make an in app purchase in order to Share the routing with another device. If I do my plans on my iPad, and then wish to send them to my iPhone to use on the road, I will only be allowed to send one map per day, or pay an additional fee. I am not pleased that a necessary feature of this app, which was included in the app that I had purchased initially, has now been made a cost item..Version: 5.10
✓ Good ideaI like the ample text boxes. You can get lots of information in them. Lots of good choices in the information menu including a brief tutorial and u-tube links. But what's driving us nuts is that every time you open it, it takes you back to your start point at the beginning of your trip. We have not been able to find the "current location" button on the iPad version at all. You can follow your progress but when you stop, takes you back to the start of the trip. And when plotting your trip, if you look for a motel, say, outside the app and come back to the app, it again takes you to the start of the trip not where your last point was. Then you have to scroll to find your last pin. Very inconvenient. Love the "miles" and " driving time" information. Updated: tried this app again and it's a total fail. Don't buy..Version: 10.8
✓ Don't even consider downloadingI cannot understand how an organisation can put so much effort into producing an app that simply doesn't work the way they say it should. I can't even delete the app off my Ipad..Version: 7.8
✓ PointlessDon't bother installing. You have to pay for it. Just use the free web version..Version: 12.2
✓ Ruined by Apple MapsI previously loved this app, but unfortunately Apple maps have ruined it. I am told that the developer has no way of using google maps. Prior to iOS 6 this app was fantastic..Version: 4.04
✓ UselessUses apple maps. Screenshot of googlemaps is old.Version: 4.04
✓ This app is garbage!!I had the old version, I believe produced by someone else, and it wasn't perfect but it was easy and almost fun to use. This is a waste of time and money. Wish I could get my three bucks back. Activating gps mode keeps sending my around the world. Apparently I'm in the ocean off the southwest coast of Africa. Even when choosing travel by car it shows straight line routes that don't even follow the streets. I never could get the points of interest (museums, parks, etc) to show up. The old version was instinctual and easy, this piece of $&@% requires watching tutorials just to barely get started and that's about all the help they offer. I've wasted half an hour on it. Complete crap..Version: 10.8
✓ Doesn't workEntered my points and asked for a car route. All I got was a direct line across several states. App is not intuitive and does not work as advertised..Version: 3.2
✓ Good idea, poor executionIf you have to offer video tutorials of how to use your app, the the design is poor. It's hard to use, hard to add a place, can't search for a place. Basically you load in all the data. What's the point?.Version: 10.8
✓ Crashes if trip has over 10 stopsUseless for road trips. Crashes unexpectedly.Version: 6.12
✓ Keeps getting worseI LOVED this app when I first got it in August! It helps me to keep up with my husband's work trips. But with each new upgrade, it gets worse and worse. Now, I can't even move a new location to the proper place on the list. Every time I do, the app shuts down and it doesn't save. And it's honestly getting quite annoying. I wish it would just go back to the old way it was. I hate the new big points and the view of the map..Version: 6.0
✓ Jury out?Well it was out for about a minute and a half . . . But as other reviewers have pointed out, it uses Apple maps so you have no accuracy at least until Apple fix their stuff there. It will find a route* (if you know where you are going hehe) but if I want to use Apple maps the inbuilt app is faster and more responsive than this one. (Additionally, I found the controls rather imprecise, and taking up so much of the screen and download time on an advert within a map app is annoying.) *For instance, it came up with three locations for the exact same place in a city I will travel to - each several miles apart..Version: 4.04
✓ Your Application is betterI reckon you guys should add the function to add multiple pins in each time. That will make easier to use you app. It will more convenient if you added that function..Version: 5.03
✓ Unstable appThe idea here is great and more powerful than google maps. But the latest update with 3D maps has made it crash more often and has killed some of my existing maps from previous versions. Crashes when I try and reorder points which means I can't add any more because new points always default to last on the route which is not where I want it..Version: 6.01
✓ Keeps crashingA great looking app but continually crashes. Think I will have to give up on it. How do I get a refund?.Version: 6.11
✓ Mauvais départL'apps payant ou pas crash. Je ne peut comprendre comment il est lié à Google maps. iPad mini OS 8.3.Version: 10.8
✓ Awful!I just purchased the app and have tried to use it for about 10 minutes and it has crashed SIX times already! I paid $2.99 for the full version and I already wish I could get my money back. The concept is fantastic, but if you can't use the app, there is no point. Save your $!!! What a waste..Version: 6.1402
✓ RubbishDon't bother.Version: 3.7
✓ ConfusingNot the easiest to navigate. I've been trying to figure it out for two days. Actually have to close app and reopen to get to list of maps screen. Although there maybe an easier way. Then I realized app seemed familiar. It was previously published under name of Maps which I already had and gave up on. Whichever one you you use it also shows up on the other. Wasted my money on a duplicate program just with a different name!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Buggy and FrustratingHad substantial trouble with app calculating routes. Often skipped destinations or would not render the route correctly on screen. Would rather have my $3 back from the in-app purchase. Note that bugs seem to increase with the number of destinations added..Version: 10.0
✓ Does not workWas excited about this, very disappointed it does not work!.Version: 10.8
✓ Uses apple maps not google maps.Uses apple maps not google maps so is essentially useless..Version: 4.04
✓ Keeps trippin out...Worked to start with - just - now not at all..Version: 4.02
✓ Just Awful - what's the point?A blog said this app was a must have for cross country road trips to track where you go. I sincerely wish I knew sooner into the trip how terrible this app was. Constantly stopped tracking, crashes every single time I use it (no exaggeration), freezes, difficult to manage, can only place five points until you have to pay for an upgrade. I wish I had anything positive to say but I'm just sincerely disappointed in the quality and processes of this application. If you're going on a road trip, find something else or grab a sharpie and an atlas to save yourself the frustration and disappointment. This app would be great if it actually worked..Version: 7.3
✓ WorthlessI downloaded this to plan a multi stop road trip. It's worthless. Plus it's always in 3-D mode so the maps are always distorted by the bird in the sky view, maybe that can be turned off but it's not in the menu or on the developers help site. Otherwise it's clunky and has poor controls..Version: 7.7
✓ Doesnt workPlain and simple this app doesnt work. The website has all sorts of categories and will show you things along your route. This app has none of that and you cant add points except from contacts orcurrent location. Considering the entire point of this is to connect with things in places i have never been this app is a monumental failure..Version: 7.11
✓ A good idea but needs moreApp only let's you plot places on the map. To be a true trip planner, it should let me sort the points I've plotted in order of distance from my current location (waypoints) and then provide driving directions to each one along the way. That would be ideal for 'places to see' on a road trip..Version: 2.1
✓ No goodLots of problems that can't be fixed. I want my money back..Version: 6.1311
✓ Continually crashedI'm unable to write a full review ....... I don't seem to be able to keep it open long enough to use it.Version: 7.10
✓ Perfect for holiday planning!This is a brilliant app for holiday planning. I recommend you access the very informative 'HELP' section via the information button, which explains exactly how to use and personalise it. Its not just a route planner - my boyfriend and I are using it to pin points of interest in different colours so we can decide exactly where to go to cover everything we each want to do. However, it can crash and I just recently Los all 10 maps I had on here and I have had to start over. Make sure you make backups with this app, it's a little on the temperamental side..Version: 6.1403
✓ Not an easy appI'm not having an easy time with this app. Also, you are limited to a few locations and I cannot figure out how to delete the locations that were preinstalled. I may as well just use my regular maps app that came with my phone!.Version: 6.1403
✓ Worthless - don't waste your timeDownloaded it to see if I could plan a driving trip from Los Angeles to Seattle. First, it keeps giving me a starting point in New York, and then after I point it it back to my current position in Southern California, it said I had used up my 5 credits, and asked that I upgraded to the full version. It is a scam. Only gave you a quick look and then ask for money, and I may add at the 'quick look' is also worthless. Don't download this app..Version: 7.8
✓ Don't bother.Total rubbish. Complicated and useless. And I can't work out how to unsubscribe so will prob end up wasting £4.99. Month on nothing..Version: 14.1
✓ Not easyNot easy for the new comer to navigate in creating a trip and getting to the clipboard.Version: 19.2
✓ Not having much luckI purchased this app recently, & have not had any luck getting it to locate an address from my contacts as a starting location, nor does it seem to be able to accurately find my current location. When I read the description, it looked as if this would do the things I wanted in a road trip planning app, so I was excited. The interface looks as if it would be great, but I'm sorry to say that I am sincerely disappointed, & not sure it even deserves the one star I've given it here..Version: 3.6
✓ Still no export to GarminWhen I bought the app almost a year ago I asked about exporting or saving in a Garmin compatible format. I was assured it was "in the works". Well, I guess not. Which makes a great app for planning a trip almost worthless on a motorcycle..Version: 4.03
✓ Ring Roadtripper bewareFeel ripped off, bought wrong Roadtripper. Not happy couldn't get it to work, not user friendly at all.Version: 10.8
✓ Get the "real" one, not this oneThis is a horribly-buggy knockoff of the original app, and is a waste of memory and effort. The good one is spelled with an "s" and comes from the website of the same name: Roadtrippers ... with an "s" on the end. Don't be mislead by THIS terrible app. It took me a while to discover the actual Roadtrippers dot com website and corresponding mobile app .... so please benefit from my experience...Version: 12.1
