Roadie: Road Trip Planner & RV

Dear developers- I’m sorry that a lot of people don’t read the instructions to learn how this app works then blame the app when it doesn’t magically lay out the route for them. We planned our trip last year from Oklahoma to BC, Canada and back with this app. 5,325 miles and 50 stops on the route. Sure we had to learn how to use the app, but once we did it was fantastic. We knew how long it would take us from point to point, and how far it was which was a lifesaver for that trip. We bought the lifetime membership which paid for itself in the form of stress relief, time and organization. I’ve tried a LOT of road trip apps and they’re not nearly as good. You can always add advancements for improvement and I look forward to those. I’m happy I found this app.

**that stars arent working for some reason - if they dont show up - i rate this app 4/5, but it has the potential for 5/5!! Just downloaded this as an alternative to Roadtripper who recently doubled their membership fees and downgraded their app - see their recent reviews, its not good… Anyway, this Roadie app is a decent replacement but it definitely has some improvements to make. Granted I am comparing to Roadtripper which was originally very good; now not so much… Would love to see these changes in Roadie: * calculate trip cost based on mileage and gas (according to your specifications for your car) * be able to see hotel and attractions descriptions and photos within the app and not have to view each one in google maps or other map app -Developers, is it possible to link up tripadvisor somehow? *calculate the cost of the trip using current avg gas prices, your vehicle specifications, miles of trip and cost of things along the way like hotels, tours, food budget, etc * have a more detailed waypoint list, with mileage btw each waypoint for your trip. * sort waypoints by date, * and be able to toggle waypoints on and off. Otherwise, i think its a really good alternative. Lets give Roadie our money so they can make this app better than Roadtripper!! :)

I love the interface. Very easy to use and can search for just about anything I type into the map search. The smart insert feature is also great when adding a new point to your route in the middle. It gives you estimated miles and times between your points so you know how long/far you will be traveling any leg. Your can save trip routes for planning more than one trip at a time (2 in free version, infinite in purchased version). As I pull a travel trailer (RV) for my trips, there are a few things I would like to see added and be able to test in the free version before I purchase the upgrade. 1- allow specs of my travel trailer (length, height, weight, propane on board) to be entered so the app can map around any low clearance bridges, weight limited roads, propane limited tunnels, hairpin turns, etc. to be sure the road mapped is safe for travel with my RV. 2- ability to identify specified miles and/or time travel down a route so that a campground/stay search can be done in that area. Currently, I take a guess by sight, add a random stay point to the route and see how long/far it takes to get there. If wrong, remove point, guess further up or back and repeat until my miles/time is close to what I want to travel in a leg. It’s functional but could be made much easier if the app can just pin a point in the route at how far/long you want to travel as an option. With these 2 functionality adds, this app would be worth purchasing for me.
