1. 5/5Great resource

   I had bought a number of books and maps for touring Route 66, but ultimately found to be ineffective when you’re behind the wheel in the car. this app along with another one or two, Route 66 apps Prue to be very helpful while interactively sightseeing and driving along the route. So far we have only driven the Arizona portion of the route, but being able to see the stops along the route tag the ones you’re wanting to see, marking the ones you have seen, is very, very handy, for both before during, and even after the trip to remember what you did see

2. 5/5Route 66 was the Best

   Downloaded this app two years ago to prep for my version - West to East - of this epic road trip. I used it daily to map out, plan and devise all the stops I was planning to make. Almost all the stops were still in existence and either open or at the very least, viewable. Some could have used a bit more description, but I also brought along my iPad Air with which I could really zoom in (using Google maps) to find the true Old Route 66 and Historic Route 66 roadways, which made the trip even more memorable. I really have no complaints about this app, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who may be or wants to or is, planning to drive the Mother Road. You can’t go wrong! I have had no problems logging in or downloading map updates at any time, so perhaps some of the kinks people have mentioned have Ben worked out…

3. 3/5Would be great if everything worked

   The navigation is great… when it feels like working. Here’s the issues I had. If you get off course, it stops working. It only gives you directions if you’re on the route. That wasn’t my problem. I’m ok with that. BUT… when you get back on course, it doesn’t always come back. They say you have to wait until you come to a point where direction is needed and then it will start navigating again but this isn’t true. Mine disconnected from me when I parked in St Louis. I walked to the Arch, took some pics, got back to my car and left. I got back on 66 and drove out of town, making several turns over the next few hours and the navigation never came back on. I messaged support and their response was basically “You’re wrong. There’s not a problem.” This happened to me several times during my trip. I messaged support again and they never bothered to respond to me a second time. I learned to just close the app, power off my phone, turn it back on and everything was fine. But when it was working, it was great. My other issue is the Passport. I’d go to a Point of Interest and the app would say “Congratulations. Your Passport has been stamped.”. This happened a bunch of times. Yet I open my passport on the app, and there’s nothing. Just blank pages. My trip is now over but my stats are blank and says I’ve done 0 trips. It honestly feels like an app that’s still under development and most of the features just don’t work yet. I liked it. Definitely didn’t love it.

4. 2/5Nice Features But Very Buggy

   The app has a lot of great features for navigating Route 66 but is VERY buggy. As soon as you open the app it stop pods whatever music or podcast is playing even if you aren’t using the navigation. It frequently stops navigating and is nearly impossible to get working again. Force quitting the app and reopening it works sometimes, but then it’s hard to tell if it’s actually working again or if it’s still broken until you hit a turn — often you have to rely on local signage instead. The app also routinely crashes if you’re in navigation mode and tap a POI that’s inside another POI to try to check in for a passport stamp. It’s also frustrating to use when you’ve accidentally gone off the route or taken an unsupported alignment, because then it’ll stop navigating until you hit another waypoint and hopefully start again. I want to love this app but it’s so frustrating to fight with that I had a much better time closing it and just using it to find POIs to plug into my usual map software.

5. 1/5Totally Crashed

   I downloaded this app perhaps 5 months ago to plan my Route 66 journey. I was pretty amazed & pleased with all it had to offer. All set to use it for my trip starting on April 7th & 2 weeks ago it crashed - HARD! Keeps saying it needs to update navigation & loops for hours & hours to no avail. It never completes & will not function at all. Tried this again at least a dozen times with no luck. Deleted the app & reinstalled half a dozen times & still no luck. Had a friend download it so I could see if perhaps it was just my phone; & they had the same problem. Put in a Support ticket & I get an error message. This app has gone from the top to the bottom overnight. Very disappointed & scrambling for an app to replace it.
