Spoke (Circuit) Route Planner

I work for a private courier company and have tried all the routing apps out there and can honestly say that Circut is hands down the best you will find. No annoying limits or in-app purchases and it covers everything from optimizing the the stops, to loading your vehicle and it works seemly with both Google Maps and Waze. The only catch is that if you want to add more than 10 stops to a route you either have to upgrade to the subscription version or figure a way to break your stops up into multiple routes which has never been a problem for me. Actually there’s one more catch - if you want to take photos of your deliveries, the paid version will associate your photos and provide shortcuts to the photos within the app at each stop, but the free version does not allow for that but it doesn’t affect my utilization at all. The best part is the customer service…I had a few questions when I was first getting to know the app so I posted them to their support team and they respond literally IN MINUTES no matter what the issue. I’ve converted all the other drivers that in working work with over to it and our boss loves the fact that you can share your route with real time updates as to the deliveries you have made and the forecasted time for the rest of your deliveries which is updated with every delivery which helps account for traffic. Tons of flexibility when it comes to setting up start and end points of your route and is truly a time saver. I even find myself using it on my personal time if I have a lot of errands to run or just want to be efficient with my gas. Highly recommended!!

I have a bread delivery route that’ does 2 days out of town.I was skeptical as to how much time the app would actually end up saving me when I first downloaded it. However, from the first time I used it, I definitely saw a difference it made by reordering my delivery stops for me. I saved finished 2 hours earlier the first out of town delivery day using it and a little over an hour on the 2nd out of town delivery route day (they are completely different delivery stupa on each of the two days. My favorite feature is that you can 1) save the route for future use 2) put in the start time of deliveries and put in an estimation of Joe long you are usually at each stop to give an idea of time of day you will likely be done with all deliveries 3) it allows you to input time restrictions for any or all stops and it takes that into consideration when putting stops in order to achieve best time. It’s an amazing app and I highly recommend it!!

I service copiers and get sent to big cities with multiple calls and this lets me punch in all the address from Furthest to closest to my home. It then auto routes them for me so I can go to calls that are near each other and not waste time riding from a back to b when c may have been just up the road. It syncs through google maps as well and directs you to each call. If you have CarPlay the directions show on your car screen and when you arrive just tap the delivered button and it will green check it and move to the next location. When all the calls for the day are done it sends you on the shortest trip back to your home or starting address. Copying and pasting all the addresses from the calls are the only tedious thing but normally I would be manually searching google maps to see how far each location was from where I was all day long. Now I do about ten minutes or less work first thing in morning, press go and my day is OPTIMIZED… saves gas and time. Great app don’t screw it up.

Those who are not in business are used to doing things around their elbow, and we little consider how much fuel we waste browsing through the day shopping. As for me, I have traveled thousands of miles taking photographs, and yet I never thought of “optimizing” my road trips. It is charming to wander down out-of-the-way roads and lanes and cowpaths when one has no schedule or deadline, but as gasoline prices rise and one becomes ever more aware of waste and climate change, organization becomes more and more important. This application is designed for commercial use, and even contemplating the benefits to the environment the universal use of it would have is inspiring. The GOOD NEWS is, IT WORKS! While I cannot personally afford the continued expense of full daily use myself, any business would probably find a subscription would pay for itself in no time. It is easy to use, VERY flexible, accurate, and amazingly intuitive. I think that it can be used for up to ten-destination routes daily for free—I hope that is correct—and if so it is one of the best pieces of “freeware” ever written. Large-route businesses with a lot of deliveries will find the subscription fees are very reasonable, and the more-efficient routes will be good for everyone! Thanks from me to the Developer—when I am made happy, you have done a GREAT JOB! I use it with Google Maps, and I find the interaction really seamless.
