Very useful app. I can make routes fairly quickly based on speed or distance. The only improvements I can suggest would be the ability to port nine stops at a time into google maps. As of right now, to my knowledge, it only does one-at-a-time and you have to go back into RoadWarrior to check-in. Google Maps can have up to nine stops at once. Also if traveling between multiple zip codes, the ability to focus on one area at-a-time.

Ive been using this app for a couple of years and it's just gotten better over time. I use it professionally in my job as a courier and have found no other multi stop routing app that that comes close to matching this one on how well it works, and ive tried them all. Any app can be improved, and I'd love better accuracy for plotting stops in rural areas (which im sure is an issue with the map source and all maps suck for my rural area), and id love the ability to export favorites. Great app!

The algorithm that is used seems to keep changing between updates. And to be honest it feels like it's getting worse. That's has been multiple times I organized the route and saved myself over an hour. That is a lot of time I would have wasted had I trusted your app. I have been using this app for about 3 years now and I may have to switch if things don't start progressing into a more positive direction soon. Other then all that app seems to work fine.

I've been using this app for my day to day route planning as a pest control technician for 2-3 years, it was Great and I highly praised it to my co-workers. With this new HERE map integration how ever, it's extremely buggy and take well past 3 minutes to calculate routes then says to check my connection even though I'm on wifi! Update: the app is working again mostly. I've had 2 issues calculating or optimizing since reaching out to support. Thank you for fixing it!

Capitalism kills another great thing, sigh. I've been using the route planner on the website or this app for work for years. The latest update switched from Google Maps and now the website and app are absolute trash and literally do nothing correctly. I'm assuming Mapquest switched maps because felt they could save money, but now they'll lose a ton of money from subscriber losses. Terrible business choice from every angle.

I love this app. I have successfully been using the app for over two years now. It's one of the best out there for routing. I do approximately 30 stops a day, but sometimes have need to route over 100. This app does it all. I love the color coordination for different stop types. The web based report stats have helped tremendously. The ONLY thing I wish it would do, would be to recenter the map with the stops. Once I've zoomed in, I have to move it back in place to show the route. Make automatic!

I've been using this app since February and it has been terrific! I loved this app, it made my day more productive and efficient. Then last week they "upgraded" the app and switched to HERE. Since that change this app is unusable. It won't connect at all. I enter all of my addresses and wait for it to load. And wait... and wait.. until it tells me it can't connect and shuts down. I contacted support and was told to log out and log back in. That is their solution? That obviously doesn't work.

Works really good, but sometimes If you're not checking it could re-route you somewhere else and that is wasted time. Also, I work with bar codes on my packages. If possible could you develop a feature within the App that let's you scan the bar code to populate an address instead of speaking or typing which would decrease errors. Thank you~

I work 4 UPS & use the app on Saturdays when we have between 15 stops & are scattered everywhere. While some people are running all over the place, I'm finishing extremely quick. If there was a way to take a picture of all the addresses from the manifest they give us & have the app add the addresses, this app would be amazing! Very annoying how it skips addresses on the road I'm on, this app needs a ton of work!

At first the app runs excellent, I even bought the premium subscription. 2 things have been big issues though, one is that the app quit displaying which side of the street the address is on (which really sucks when you drive a big pesticides truck that is difficult and risky to turn around in people's driveways with tight, narrow roads, and I need all destinations to the right of the truck for equip.) The other major issue is that once I click "Navigate" on R.W. it brings me to maps like always, but the actual destination on google maps is mixed up and not the correct address that was put on the R.W. app. Same thing happened with the "Circuit" app. If I could upload screenshots on this review I definitely would. But I cannot explain the frustration this has cost me, I used to love this app but it seems to deteriorate in proper programming. I am now stuck with this subscription and am having to constantly change the screwed up addresses to get through my 45 stop days... it seems this now is only useful to display my routes.

Awesome, works like a charm! I use this app for my Saturday route (I'm FedEx) because it's very spread out and changes every time. I plug in the stops, hit optimize and the app does the rest. It sets you up for the fastest and most efficient routing possible. If you have certain time commits then you need to keep an eye on that, you can jump around and do stops out of order and then hit optimize again and it redoes it from ur current point. Really, really like this app!!

Update 1/4/23: Having to relog in at random intervals is even worse than before. Needs some serious TLC there. Fix this irritating issue. Getting past that, this app is a beast. One of the best for delivery couriers. Original review: First off love the app, works pretty much all the time. Accuracy could be better but I've learned my area enough to know when it's a little off. The reason for 2 stars: constantly having to relog in at random intervals. Fix that & I'll raise the star count back up.

I previously gave a crappy review for this app, and I am truly sorry. Apparently, I'm able to reorder however I want; I couldn't figure it out the last time I tried it out. I do wish I had an option to turn the "check-in" screen reminders off, but all in all, this is a great app which I really enjoy now. I'm not sure what happened to BestRoute and BestRoute Pro, but the apps along with the developer seem to have completely vanished. I wish him well though, and am now very happy with how much smoother and flexible RoadWarrior is over BestRoute.

This was a solid app for plotting a large numbers of stops, however the new $10/mo fee is ridiculous for this type of app. Just looking at the reviews has to make the devs realize that. It's useful, but there simply isn't $120/yr worth of features in it, just greed. I was hesitant to keep paying the $5/mo because the optimization is mediocre most of the time, not factoring in what sides of the road stops are on so I'm often spending time fixing the optimized route it creates. Uses Google Maps. Confused how the "provider map costs increased 10x"?? It uses Google maps.

Good app, but they just doubled the price. Right in time for the busy holiday season. And they took away the ability for Pro users to download your routes (now you have to buy the $30/month enterprise edition for that basic service). Pretty scum bag move to gouge your customers like that without even adding any features... but hey, what else is new in corporate America?

Loved the app and its feature set before the newest update. The new "here" map that has replaced the old "google" map has made this app feel like I'm trying to use a 10 year old phone on the daily. Has made my work life significantly harder. I work for a large scale delivery company where time matters. The new "here" map has easily added 1+ hours to me and my teams day. Will be soon switching to a different service. Reached out to support and they stated they are unable to offer a switch.

This app is terrible! The GPS through the app isn't specific once you arrive close to your destination it gives a range of blocks instead of the specific address and a picture. This is dangerous when your driving. Having to go from gps 2 the app 2 c what ws entered. There isn't a place to go back and add a stop without creating a completely new route. Also if you're using the app to deliver packages there isn't a place to enter the placement of your box location in your car in the app.

I definitely love the fact that I can put in so many stops and this app is somewhat accurate. With that said I will discontinue using this app. There's too much that must be done between two apps, to get to my next stop and 500 characters is not enough to explain my frustration. Furthermore, it only allows for one destination at a time and usually brings you the neighboring property or just the area. The routing system is decent but causes more trouble than I have the space to complain about.

I like the versatility this app provides for planning routes. It takes time to become proficient, but it's easy enough to fumble through and create an intelligent route. The free version is good enough for an auto parts delivery person but doesn't offer enough stops for a larger delivery company, like FedEx or UPS. The pro version allows for more stops, more options, and is very reasonable.

Great route optimization app, free version let's you optimize ~ 8-10 stops per route. HOWEVER, the real reason I'm taking time to leave this review: gave the pro version a try and forgot to cancel in time. Emailed the company assuming that it wouldn't make a difference, as most companies count on you forgetting to end trials which allows them to start charging you, BUT THEY REVERSED THE CHARGE. This says everything about this company. Only thing they could change is ease of address input. ❤️
