Road Trip Planner Viewer

I have been using this app for a couple of years now. 24 National Parks and counting. I pick an ultimate destination and edit stopping points along the way. I try not to drive more then 3 to 4 hours between stop overs. This allows me to see the routes and time travels. I can insert new POI/destinations and edit the pins to reroute accordingly. I am not to techie,so probably don’t get the most out of apps? But I believe that free apps are just that and no one makes stuff for free. Always room for improvement, but time cost money and programmers aren’t free.

First let me say I’ve been using computers for a very long time and I can generally figure things out pretty quickly using the trial and error approach. Appreciated being able to try a free version before buying the full version. So I started with trial and error and soon realized that wasn’t working for me. No problem, I’ll use the tutorial. Swiped through the examples and thought “cool” this is easy. So, started a pretend trip, which should have been pretty easy. Home to 2 poi to home. Got the home in. Even got the first location in. Couldn’t figure out how to add the second location because the + sign wouldn’t come up again. Back to the tutorial. Went through that again. Started over. Same issues. Played with it for about an hour or so and finally decided to move on. I agree with the person who commented about Streets and Trips, not because I’m looking to go back to a pc but for its functions and ease of use. The developers snarky comment to a helpful suggestion from a customer told me all I needed to know.

I’ve spent a lot of time searching for a trip planner, this one is beyond my expectations. The tutorial is just the get started guide. I’m traveling full time in our 5th wheel trailer. I downloaded this app after starting this seasons trip. Many of the features available were not in the tutorial but in the sample, so don’t forget to check it out. When entering dates and times I found the travel time was added in the data. One of the best parts in this app is the ability to edit the errors easily. Bottom line I’m loving it!

This has the potential of being a great app, but as is, its mostly just frustrating. I have yet to figure out how to delete a pin once it’s placed without deleting the entire file and starting all over. There also does not appear to be a search function in HELP. If there is and I’m missing it, that’s just more evidence of being non-user friendly. The developers would do themselves a huge favor to study Microsoft Streets and Trips for useful features and intuitive user interface.

I don’t see why this is any more useful than maps. There are no features that allow you to set a destination and plan a multi-day roadtrip, by setting the destination and adding legs of the journey while looking at the entire route and seeing pois on the way. You have to know where you want to stop ahead of time and that can be mapped with google or safari maps. Or maybe you can do that but it isn’t user friendly then.
