Roadtrip app review: make a journey with as many stops as you want, and get turn-by-turn directions

Introduction

What we’ve got here is a must-have travel companion app for iPad that you and your friends can use to plan multi-stop trips before sharing them with one another thanks to some very advanced synchronization features.

I actually really like the concept behind this  road trips app because it essentially serves to replace Apple Maps and Google Maps but without relying too heavily on some of the more gimmicky features that I’ve often seen in trip planner apps.

I can definitely see improvements being made by the developer over time, but even in its current incarnation Roadtrip is a fantastic utility that is reasonably priced and should help you and your buddies easily plan some great trips.

Plan Multi-Stop Journeys

Roadtrip has been designed to make trip planning nice and simple, with the ability to create multi-stop journeys with your whole route visible on a map. You’ll also receive step-by-step directions so there will be no excuses for getting lost!

One feature that I think is pretty smart is that once you’ve saved your directions for any given trip they will be automatically stored within the app so that you can always access them without an Internet connection. This is a perfect for trips to some of the more remote areas of the country.

Share and Sync Trips With Your Friends

I’m also quite pleased to see that there are some basic features for editing each stop of your trip, including changing its name. You can also add your own personal notes to each stop, which I think is ideal for planning what you’re going to do on each leg of your trip.
