EACH PIN CAN HAVE MANY ACTIVITIES. For each activity you can record:

- name of activity
- activity date, time and duration
- cost
- phone
- FAX
- address
- URL
- email address
- confirmation number
- notes
- picture

There are two types of pins. Route Pins are used to create the route. POI Pins mark points of interest on the map.

Choose between Apple Maps or OpenStreet Maps. Cache non-Apple maps to disk for offline use. See the settings and Help for more info.

For air and rail routes a straight line can be displayed between pins.

Add, remove or rearrange the pins in any order you wish. Routes and pins can be sent to Apple Maps.

Too complicated. Bought this app to plan a big road trip. No real instructions given and I am not willing to keep trying things to see what they do. Others seem to have more patience than I. Also seems to be geared to those with RV’s. Should be simple.

Just OK. In the past, I have always used my desktop computer for planning road trips. However, the software is old and the maps are out of date. One particular feature I used is the ability to enter my fuel capacity and fuel usage and have the software provide me with a maximum travel point. This was extremely helpful in determining where to stop for fuel/hotels. This software only allow you to enter your fuel use not your fuel capacity- not if any value.

Great for planning your route. Many RV apps out there, not many straight forward - easy to use to plot your trip. Evaluate for your own use but I recommend this for all newbies like myself.

Great Trip Planning App. I was looking for an app that would allow me to plan a cross-country trip. This app is perfect for what I needed. Although it is a complex app, I have found it to be very intuitive to use. I’m enjoying the planning features and having fun planning my trip!

Wish I could use this app between my iPad Pro and iPhone 10X tho.... Wish I could use this app between my iPad Pro and iPhone 10X tho...

Lacks MAJOR Features. Don’t get me wrong, this is a great app, I love what it does and is my best travel companion, but I’m giving it only three stars for its two major flaws. 1.- The Apple maps version it uses is SOOOO outdated that there are roads and places that don’t even show, so you’ll have to guess their location with the help of Google maps. 2.- The inability to auto backup to iCloud, like so many other apps out there do, is frustrating If you want to have your route in several devices. I usually set up my route on my iPad, which has a larger screen and it’s easier to work on, and then just guide myself with my phone while on the road, but is kind of frustrating that every time I make a change I have to MANUALLY upload to iCloud or email myself the new route. So if for any reason I forget to send my updated map to the cloud, I’m screwed on the road the next day. If you add something last minute to your map, you’ll have to manually backup again or keep on emailing yourself.

Good app, but has some very annoying flaws. It used to be much better. Now it keeps adding random extra pins whenever I am using the app. I’ll be placing one pin and it creates another or I’ll be moving the map and it just creates another.

Frustrating!. I just tried using this app, and have given up! Every time I add a new map point, it drops one of the other points I’ve already entered. I’ve updated after every addition, and it still drops my locations. Time to move on!

Desktop icon. I paid for the premium app but it isn’t showing up on my phone. How do I get the icon??

Not useful for RV route planning!. The app is no more useful to an RV traveler than iOS “Maps” because it can’t screen the route to avoid roads that are unsuitable for an RV, such as a 7’0” underpass on a NJ expressway or a single lane mountain pass in CO. There are GPS maps that screen the route given the dimensions of your rig but this isn’t one of them.

Really Good but Not As Easy As Advertised. This app can do far more than I have yet discovered & it’s ability to share information with other travel planning apps is terrific. However, many functions, like changing the order of waypoints or adding waypoints in the middle of the route or several other functions are not intuitive or all that easy to use. Buy the tool - it does a lot. But be prepared to stumble & get frustrated along the way. The developer says they follow common iOS procedures, but that assumes the average user knows those procedures. The developer has responded to me telling me about several support tools & tutorials that can be accessed by users. While I appreciate the fact that there is help available, I just wish it’s were not so difficult to find. I oversee software development projects, so I am not a novice. Yet I hate having to play with something I pay for & hope I can figure it out or stumble over help functions. Hence the 4-star rating.

Awesome App. I'm setting up my trip routes through the western US and Alaska, this app makes it easier to plan and manage my routes than anything else that I have tried. And, it's inexpensive. I'm using it on MacBook Pro and iPad Pro.

Love it. After spending hours online working with various map sites to plan a trip and getting nowhere…this is quick and easy to use, and provides you the info you need for a road trip. Thank you.

Perfect planing tool. This is great app, well done, full of features, all one would needed is included. Got app last summer, 2020, for trip with kids to explore western US. Worked great, mapped it all month in advance, and followed path between points, worked perfectly. Great features, cloud save, export pert of trip or whole trip to navigation software, I use waze and works great with this app, users provided suggestions, maps. There are many maps to download from community, which is great to start and customize to your needs. Great companion is MAC OS app, for planing on big screen. excellent app.

A little hard to figure out. Got the app to go on a road trip out west but was hard to figure out on a regular basis

Map is not accurate!!!. The worst app!! Nothing on the app works and they can’t find places on the map even if I put the address in! Also found places where map is not accurate and is missing the whole lake!!! At this day and age you can’t even get the map right?! Or the trip planning app...

Love it!. My family took a road trip from Minnesota to Oregon last summer. We were able to plan every amazing stop, estimate how long it would take and were able to enjoy much more than if we hadn’t planned (Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, etc!) Robust options are available. The desired location can be “pinned” and then edited to change the name, the pin image (e.g. forest, food, scenery) among other things. You can add images, activities, costs etc. Adding pictures was a great way to get the kids excited! The route can be adjusted, however, not always to the way you would like to go, although rare (same with every other map app). The directions were great. It estimates your time to the location (which is adjustable by driving speed!) and then allows you to input the length of time at that location. This feature was great as we adjusted our trip because of bad calculations on my part! There are also “POI” which are places you might want to check out, but don’t want it calculated into your itinerary. This helped me narrow down what we could actually do, and keep ideas in my back pocket if we found the time. The only gripe I have is that it isn’t the most intuitive layout. There is a learning curve, but once you get it, it’s amazing. Worth every penny.

Great Trip Planner. I bought the app for my desktop and iPhone and after using it for 14 months would recommend the program to anyone who wants to create a detailed itinerary. It helps to have an iCloud account to save files.

Not user friendly. This app is way to difficult for my simple mind. I want to put in where I am going and where I’m leaving from and then add waypoints along the way. I spent 2 hours trying and failing. I look for another

Wow. Fun!. The more I use this apps the better it gets! It took a while to figure out all the little tricks, but was well worth the time investment. There are lots of little hidden features that are simply gosh darn fun. You can change icons, flag little diversions and add notes, such as distances and time. Then… holy cow… I stumbled across the itinerary feature which does all the time and distance calculations for me, along with directions. I can even switch mapping backgrounds. So much fun to imagine upcoming adventures!

Not user friendly at all. Just bought this I am trying to create a route to bring a new R/V home to make sure it is RV friendly ... 45 minutes later still struggling (I am very IT literate)

Pins. It doesn’t look like you can change the route pin order without redoing the whole route

Works fine. I cannot figure where to add fuel price. Help, please

PATHETIC!!!!!. Who the HECK in their RIGHT mind creates apps for iPad, iPhone and Mac that do NOT sync data between them??? It makes this and the developers other apps nothing but PAPERWEIGHTS. Not ONLY that but the developer REFUSES to give you a way to contact him. Talk about a fringing waste of my time and money. NOT happy at all!!!!!

Poorly executed good idea. I’ve been a big fan of the Ultimate Campground app for years. I’ve had this app but haven’t tried any real world work before. The only useful thing it does is draw a pretty line on a map. How do I change the departure date? The itinerary should have a compressed view (location,travel time, miles) next pin, with the option for turn-by-turn display. Some instruction would be nice.

Very Satisfied with Application and after purchase support. While I originally had some problems finding application features, the after application support solved my lack of knowledge. The application allowed me to solve routing preferences by adding pins, correct trip dates and print trip documentation.

Love the app but.... I have been using the heck out of this app but it frustrates me to no end! I use it in conjunction with several other apps to plot our course (we’re new full-timers), but each time I come back to RTP I have to reload the trip. This is a fine app that could be GREAT with a bit more work - please do that work developers.

This app is perfect for my needs. I love this app. It is very intuitive. I can map out all of my vacations, see optional routes, include points of interests that don’t need to be on the route itself. I can change all the icons on the map just for fun. It computes not just the time to go someplace but also the gas cost. I can add notes of my own. The neat thing is that this app doesn't just sync on the cloud - I can send my maps to others. Or just save your completed map routes to Dropbox or cloud drive to download later. Or I can upload my routes to Google Maps for step by step directions. I have tried other routing maps - and most require really weird subscriptions. This one does not. It is a straight forward app that lets you try it for free with all options except saving changes you make. The price for this app is well worth it for being able to save new routes - and not worry about future surprises. I corresponded with the app’s creator about a relatively minor issue and now just a few days later he fixed it with an update.

Great App **mapping our route and recording it. I use this to keep track of where we are going with the ability to change the planned route and save it with time spent, fuel cost. I have traveled through 46 states in the last year and NO problems. The best part is my path is recorded to the minute and gallon of fuel. Love it. Scott S

Doesn’t sync, poor UI. The UI is not intuitive. It’s fine once you get used to it but it takes more clicks than necessary. I built up a number of waypoints on my iPad and then went on my trip to find they weren’t sync’d to my iPhone and they weren’t there to be imported. So in the end I worked on the app but didn’t actually get any benefit out of it.

Lovin’ Road Trip Planner. Just bought the app about 3 weeks ago, and have mapped out our 4300 mi summer motorcycle vacation. Still exploring to find out all that the app does, and every new thing I discover is great! Exploring the app is kinda like exploring the country. You can keep it simple by traveling the Interstate ... or you can get off the beaten path, travel the 2 lane state highways and find a lot of beauty and grandeur. Thanks for all the hard work ... it’s one terrific app! And much easier to use on my iPad than what I used for the past 10 years. Don’t let my 5 star review cause you to slow down ... keep the improvements coming!

Too convoluted. Entering information requires using too many screens. It takes way too long to enter simple info - I find it easier and quicker just to use a calendar app. I don’t need all the other stuff - I’m not going to need fuel costs or a place to put photos, etc. I just want to plan a trip, no need to over think this.

Great road trip app. I have planned several trips with various stops along the way. Using this information I can calculate what my fuel and lodging expenses will be.

No iCloud sync. The good: it’s pay-once. It uses Apple Maps data, which is actually decent and improving all the time. Trip plans are entirely private too. It will make a printable itinerary that might be useful. The distinction between POIs and waypoints is useful. Very helpfully it can export pins to Apple or Google Maps. The meh: POIs names should be automatically chosen with more smarts or be editable. Picking a POI of Arches national park shouldn’t say Moab, UT, for instance. You can annotate it in a small caption underneath. The bad: it’s impossible to collaborate on plans. This alone forces us to not use the app. It only supports exporting and importing a trip document file. While you can export it to iCloud and share from the Files app, the other people only get a copy of the file, and they don’t access the same file live as others may make changes. Furthermore it has bugs around reimporting an exported file, because it can’t handle files with the same name. The imported file doesn’t show up in its file list reliably. This is probably great for a one-person planned trip but there’s no ability to collaborate. Tossing a file back and forth would be very tedious and prone to errors.

Search function doesn't work. It only searches addresses near my current location, which is useless for my planning of an upcoming road trip in Europe. For instance, my current location is LA and why I try to find Reykjavik in this app, the only result I get is "Reykjavik outpost", a clothing store near LA, and if I refine the search by entering "Reykjavik, Iceland", the app simply tells me "error, could not resolve location". If I have to collect the coordinates of every stop on my trip for this app to work, then what's the point of having a search bar?

Good but could use some features.. I use it for work to create routes and they left some user features out. Merging trips would be nice. Creating user favorites locations. A easy location naming feature and also an easy copy and paste feature would be nice.

Usability poor. App opens up and you are facing a map with symbols below. Symbols appear to mean plan, map out etc. but do not respond. No tutorial or directions easily accesible and I just paid 5 bucks for something I am likely to delete. Bummer.

Lovin it!. This is perfect for my RV traveling and planning. Not to mention that the author is responding quickly and regularly. Updates are thoughtful and well tested.

Road closure. I have been trying to plan my summer road trip with my kids. We bought the app and all gathered around to plan our huge Summer trip. After placing 6 pins of places we wanted to see we hit route. We got an error message saying one of the roads we are taking is closed do to weather. That’s great but I’m not going until August, we just want to see how many miles it is from each pin. I read the app instructions and they advise trying again in a few days. Well it’s been a week now and we are still unable to see our route. To say we are discounted is an understatement. Do not use this app it is useless if you are planing your trip during the winter

Way to complex.. After pages of tutorial I can generate a route but still don’t know how to begin the turn by turn directions!

Not what I was looking for. So you can’t add a starting point to your planner. You can’t edit an existing points address. You can’t adjust the sequence of waypoints, you have to delete and start again. It’s easy to mistakenly move a route pin, and you can’t retype the correct address or undo what you've done. I’ve wasted my money with is app.

Forever now our road trip companion. An old friend and I started a Holiday road trip tradition this past year that honestly changed our lives. A major factor in its success we realized was the seamless nature in which we were able to use technology to help guide us toward the things we wanted to see, yet leave the ability jump around based on how we felt at any given moment. This app was a key factor in allowing us to check off the must sees, move around the stuff we realized we didn’t have time for, and keep moving forward without any feeling of being stuck or wondering what to do next. This app will be the third wheel in all of our road trips (for which we have 3 files already in the works) to come! A very special thanks to the creators for making such a relevant platform for people who like to wing it with at least some idea of what to see along the way. This app still gives you the feeling of rolling out that paper map and pointing at spots of interest, then just does all of the hard annoying work of discovering the route. My only suggestion would be to include a real time Navi section at which point we’d never have to switch between this and waze, and if possible nudge us to check the gas tank after that feeling of relief to finally see the light of dawn after pulling out of an 8 hour overnight winter rainstorm through the hills of West Virginia, thank god for AAA. Oh, and make it compatible with the new IPad keyboard.

Super helpful but bad locations. We used this app for a cross-country road trip and it was super helpful. We were able to pick our destination for the next day and then divide that leg into reasonable stops. The only issue we ran into, and this may be a google maps issue, many of the historical or random attraction stops either didn’t exist or were not accurate. We ended up in someone’s driveway more than once thinking it would be a historical site.

Nice App - Show Milage?. A nice little app and like the export to UCG. Haven't figured this out yet - Any way to show the mileage between route pins as well as total mileage. Time to travel would be nice also. Ok - Thanks for the response... Be nice to have the mileage displayed on the map next to each route pin for that segment and total by the last. Would make it easier for quick glance/review. Ahhhh - Sorry to be a pain, need to play around more I guess :-(

Not worth the money. Difficult to use, does not help plan stops, streets and trips this not. So I put a start in TN, stop in WY, could not add way points, on the route, wants to place them on end. Lacks Forrest service roads until at such a close scale to be unusable.

Helpful tool!. I found the RTP app a great planning tool for two recent road trips!

Does what I want it to do. I wanted a route planner for my car club. I wanted to create nice driving roads and put them in order of the best route. After finding RTP I built a nice route and opened the POI up in Google maps and was able to get guided directions. Great job. The fact that I can get estimated times of each route makes deciding so much better. I can decide if I want the 2 hour tour or the 3 hour tour. One drawback is that GoogleMaps will only allow me to make routes with 25 or less POIs. But after thinking about it I think that’s ok, meaning that all I need to do is create another route where the other left off at 25. This way I can divide routes up or start on a different route anytime. I know there’s a ton more that this app can do, I’ve only scratched the surface. Adding pictures or saving as a GPX file to open in a standalone GPS unit. (Not sure why unless my phone loses signal or whatever). But there looks like a lot more that this can do. I’ll eventually experiment and see. Someone mentioned the lack of ease when exporting from the iOS app to Mac app. Maybe the developer can add an option that when you save to iCloud that it auto saves it for all apps. But I really don’t want that.i want to know what version I’m loading or saving, I’ll just rename different versions. That’s all I got now

Not user friendly. I find this app extremely frustrating to use. Whenever I tried to add a new route pin it moved my previous route pin to the new location instead of adding a route pin. This app is not instinctive at all. Hate it.

Waste of money. Thought this would show us cool places to stop on our road trip.... it doesn't. The app basically shows you a solid blue line of where you're going and that is literally it. Has to read the instructions 3 times just to get that part down. If apple offered a money back policy I'd be writing for one but they don't so enjoy my $6. Maybe you can invest it in making an app that has a purpose.

Love it!. Great trip planning tool! Easy to use and maps everything for you. Make a test trip to learn things. Simply put, every trip, starts here!

Dodgy support. App works good om mac mini. when waypoints are transferred to iphone it plots in in a diffferent country on the iphone. When i try to contact app support it loops you to their lousy FAC and a suppoirt forum which refuses you access to comment on Google I bought 2 apps...one on the mac the other on the iphone so i can plan my business travel daily and export it to my phone to use it. Pathetic and unprofessional developers approach to customer! I

What a great trip and Plan App!. This is so cool and easy to plan a road , motorbike, walking or push bike trip WHEN you get the gift of the principal of actually setting your pins to destinations or reference spots along the way...then once you get the idea you can add costs to do things and seperate items of costs like food, booze, gifts really anything you want...and when you have some great fun doing all of that..hit the itinerary button and it then displays all of the above...your route in a line reference , save it all as a future reference of in later times and you have a Diary of your road trips to hold for memory sake in your future years....”simple-dimple” proggie and the cost is “cheap-as- chips bro😬😉🤟”

Good stuff. Good app.....but can’t be seamlessly used across Mac to iPad or iphone

H. I find it very helpful when planning a motorbike trip.

Useful little app. This a simple but extremely useful app when organising a road trip and while touring. It handles date changes and extrapolates all the dates of the destinations. Ray M

Not designed for Australian use. Unable to calculate route following pins keeps using different highway. Travel times are not correct. Unable to contact support unless you have a google email account. Could be a great app if they could get there act together.

Great App. This app works well, I have planned trips and put in historical data, great for memorable trips to share in the future

Cannot locate addresses. I bought this app to plan my uk road trip! Put in suburbs and places we wished to visit and the app could not find the places! Went to the website to get some help and it's states that it uses apple maps...so they take no responsibility for these issues and we needed to complain to apple! I want a refund!!!!

This is what I was looking for long time. Excellent. Great app to work with. Highly recommended.

Road trip iPad et ordinateur. J’adore, mais 1- j’espère pouvoir échanger les plans de l’un à l’autre dans les deux sens. 2- le temps estimé si on met les préférences en km/h , en litres, et en km sont parfois erronés, j’espère que cela est corrigé Mais l’application sur iPad est très plaisante!

Garbage. I regret buying this app. It looks and feels like outdated app from previous generation. Not easy to use so it completely useless.

Nice map BUT. Would be nice to have these maps off line Will not use app after this trip too bad I did like it

Nothing but frustration. I can’t believe how frustrating this app is. If you look at the help section the problems are blamed on apple maps but it still makes this app useless. I get error messages when updating routes for no apparent reason. The program will plan a route out different ways in a matter of minutes. I put a pin at a ferry terminal on one side and the other side and it routes me to a completely different ferry by doing a bunch of back tracking. The program has so much potential but is just a huge unreliable frustration at this point. Save your money!

Okay but need nap to be current. Would be wonderful if that was the case.. Current map needed.

A Must for RVing. I have found this app indispensable for planning trips, & for recording information along the way. Plus, after the trip we have a permanent record. It can seem cumbersome at first, but it becomes easier with practice. Support is excellent. Questions are answered promptly.

What an app!!. My Wife and I bought an RV a few years ago and started using RTP to plan our routes. Not only does it allow us to plan how long we stay on the road each day, but we can print our itinerary to give to our families to let them know where we will be, when we should get there and how long we are staying. We enter all the campground info and the app does the rest. The fuel calculator is also a big plus, letting us know the approx cost that we can expect to pay for the trip.

Great app.. Lots of flexibility and options.

Great planner. We have been using RTP for extended travel in a motorhome through Canada and US. It is easy to use, fast and has enough customization options to meet our needs. It would be nice if the route line didn’t have to recalculate so often but it is quick enough most of the time not to be a nuisance.

Great. App is great

Confused. Created pin but can’t get route from location to pin

Needs better instructions. $5.99 wasted. No directions. Impossible to add starting point

RTP. I used this app for my 13,000 mile trip across the USA. I loved it.

Hard to use. Difficult to navigate and even start it. Maybe I didn’t spend enough time on it.

How to figure out a route!. I just paid $4.99 for a app and I can not figure it out!!!!

Frustrating. No instructions. Editing is very clumsy. I will probably delete this - its just so much clutter on my screen.

Shabby app. Extremely difficult to use! Appears to be written for programmers not users.

Dont waste your money. This app is horrible and difficult to figure out. Not user friendly. I would not buy.

No directions on how to use. Frustrating

Super glitchy. In iOS 11 this app is unusable, can’t even map out basic waypoints or zoom in

Doesn’t work don’t buy. Can’t get to work save your money

welcome back to MS DOS. If you are old like me and learned computers from ancient times and had to memorize keyboard combinations to make anything logical happen on the screen then you will likely be able to muddle your way through this app to find a frustrating line drawn across the map to more than one place. But hopefully you are also bald like me because you will try to pull out your hair in frustration while doing so. For example: We want the map page to show miles. App deleloper tells us to go to callouts, change settings, and presto he says we will see mileage. But of course we don't. You can only see the mileage to or from a touched poi. The app developer has obviously never used Microsoft Streets and Trips (by far still the best mapping program ever made!) because if he had he would combine the functionality of the magnifying glass and the disappearing/morphing plus button into one search bar that never leaves the top of the screen. My father was the kind of guy who was always right and never listened to constructive feedback so I am an expert at cutting my losses and moving on. It was worth $6 to me just to write this review. Lots of reviewers have expressed frustration with the user interface of this app. They are all correct. It is needlessly complicated. The app developer obviously has the coding skills to make working apps, but he needs to learn the business skills to listen to his customers and make the user interface as easy as Streets and Trips. If a 5th grader can't sit down with an ipad and plan a route w/o help, the app needs continuous improvement.

Not really user friendly. I just want to pick up an ap and have it start to produce results. A tutorial is offered but also not a flowing help. KP

Not an easy interface. Don't recommend at all.

Not User Friendly!. Almost impossible to use, doesn’t display RV Parks on route. Very frustrating!

Doesn’t work well. Trying to go from National park to National park and most of the time it says there is no route available. Feels like I wasted my $

Need to make it so simple a lawyer can use it!. Too complicated!!

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. This app does not work at all. Says it is free then will charge you 6.49$ days later! 😡😡 ITS A SCAM

Great trip planning app!. This is a great app for planning a road trip. Everything you could think of, from calculating fuel cost, to creating an itinerary with total costs of hotels, meals, and other activities. The developer was also very helpful when I emailed with a problem I was having (previous version). He was quick to respond and already had a fix waiting for Apple to release. This new version is great!

Terrible value. User unfriendly and not worth it

Doesn’t work. Bought the app and whatever location I’m trying to add it says error can’t load..... spent money for nothing

Can’t believe I actually paid money for this. Had high hopes. I Keep trying to enter a poi in marathon Texas, the address that comes up for the poi is correct, but the map pin shows up in Wisconsin. Another pin @ Gage Hotel shows up in the northeast USA. Garbage.

Useless. I cannot locate any of the landmarks and sites I am looking for. Very frustrating.

Can't keep path in blue ridge parkway. Have to put waypoints every 10mi to keep trip on the parkway. Otherwise it won't let me choose it as a route option.

Great app for travelers!. Replaced the defunct MS S&T with this and couldn’t be more pleased.

Rv trip Planner. Impossible to navigate to campgrounds unless you also buy additional apps.

Road Trip Planner. Continues to be the best travel planner around. Has many features not found elsewhere. We love it. My wife and I travel much of the time in a Motorhome. We have been looking for an app to use to plan our routes, our overnight stays, and to list the things we want to see and do along the way. We have found it in Road Trip Planner. It is easy to use and intuitive. Two features I especially like are: It lets me adjust the speed which RTP uses to calculate drive time between stops. This gives me a much more realistic "expected arrival time", and You can zoom into a stop and switch from a "map" view to a "satellite" view. I find this very helpful in knowing exactly what I will find at that stop and how to get in and out I would recommend Road Trip Planner to all travelers who want to PLAN their journeys!

This blows.. Not reading my file!!!

Not quite up to the jon. Although the app says it does a lot it is tedious and not user friendly. Major issue-does not indicate roads that cannot be used by RV’s. No RVs on NY PARKWAYS-yet every route included them. Frustrating and useless if you are unfamiliar with your route

Problem fixed. This is an update to my previous review. I found a way in the app to easily rearrange route pins. Its done with the editing feature for route pins. I can now drag them in any order. Just click on edit, then drag the pin. Not sure whether this is because of updates to the app or I just couldn't find this feature before. Because of this I've upgraded my rating. I've been using Road Trip Planner on a Macbook and really like the app. I purchased this app so I could also use it on an iPad when we travel. In general the app works well and is helpful for planning road trips. However a problem surfaced when I tried to add some route pins to an existing plan. According to the company's web site you're supposed to be able to rearrange route pins. This of course is necessary if you want to add additional stops to your plan. Tried dragging the route pins as described in the help on the company's website. It doesn't work. This is one of the most common things I would be doing with a route I created on the Macbook and sent to the iPad. Had I known abut this problem I would have just stuck with the Road Trip Planner Viewer (free) instead. Based on comments I found on the company's Google support forum, this problem has been around for a while.

Doesn’t work. After paying for the app I learn it doesn’t work on the iPhone Apple map. Grrrr To the developer- I did the tutorial and it didn’t work. I got my info from other reviews. Thanks for your response.

Pain. In the behind to drop pins!

User NOT FRIENDLY. Worst money spent

Can’t figure out how to use RTP. I can figure out how to plan a trip?!?? What is file’? How do you create a file? Is a file your buzz word for road trip?

I HATE this app. Purchased this app it is Very difficult to navigate, very poor instruction . A total waste of money. Tried to get refund but it’s not permit with this app.

Very Good Planner. After losing some outdated mapping trip planners I've been looking for something to take their place. I think this app is right on. Especially when it comes to simplicity, accuracy and usefulness. The ease of creating your trips on the desktop and then moving them over to a mobile device is outstanding. I sent a couple of suggestions to the creators and in a couple of days my suggestions were implemented via a new upgrade. Keep up the good work.

Hard to navigate. Good idea but bad user ops.

Great. Great help on travel plans

Bad program. Incredibly too hard to navigate

Hard to use.. Itinerary settings can not be found. Not enough instruction on how to modify itinerary function. Not impressed.

this app is junk. It will not let me create a route I want my money back this is the dumbest app I've ever seen

RV road trip. I love this app and use it to plan our cross country trips. I plot each stop and the activities at each stop. It takes time to put the info in the app, but serves as a permanent record of each of our trips. I would love if the app would allow more pictures to be added especially in the activities. I also use it to keep a running total of the cost of our trips using the activities section. You can Dropbox your trip to share.

Great app. I have been using this on my Mac to create an itinerary for my trip to Japan. The app made it easy to create one for each city and prefecture. Works great on the phone as well for modifying or keeping them for offline use. Just search the things you are interested in, add them, and have it create the best route to take!

Really???. Do I really have to purchase this app for my Mac as well as purchase it for my phone?

Waste of Money. Very buggy and hard to use. Better trip planners on other apps. Wish I could get a refund.

Bummer. Paid to download this app and can’t figure it out. When you tap on the help icon it takes you to a page that isn’t working. Refund please!

Terrible App. Don’t waste your money- app blames problems on Apple. Pathetic!

Don’t waste your money. The app is not user friendly, cannot use it to plan routes. I wish I had my 6 bucks back

Great TRIP planner. If you are planning a Road Trip that has stops in many cities then this is a good application to use. Saving your trip to the Cloud allows access over all of your devices. I've used it several times and recommend it. As an added bonus, you can look back at past trips to see where you went and stayed. So, it is a journal as well.
