5/5A breath of fresh air
I stumbled upon this app the other night not realizing my life was about to change. Being able to give my input on someones thoughts makes my voice feel heard. It’s more interactive & more personal than a podcast. So gather your friends & gather your neighbors because the audio revolution has arrived!

5/5Well thought out app
I first started using this app with a friend and it's a lot of fun. We use this app now instead of texting or voicemails since we are both traveling and it makes keeping up with each other a lot easier. I’ll definitely be using this with family and as a tool in college with class projects. Keep up the great work! Happy to be part of this app and can’t wait to see it grow.

5/5Love this app!
I've tried a lot of chat apps and didn't think Roads would be any different. Glad I gave it a chance because it’s much better than I expected!
