  • Huge fan, great app

    I consult this app for every road trip I take, even if it’s 45 minutes from home, and I always find the coolest stuff! Seriously, everyone tells me how fun it is to road trip with me, and I explain it is all thanks to Roadside America. And omg the laugh out loud descriptions of these American treasures. Roadside America has given me some of the most magical experiences of my life. I am so grateful. The “on route” feature is a godsend also.
  • Worked for a while

    The on-route stopped working and no one will answer my emails to get it working again.
  • Literally Can’t Create an Account

    Tried to create an account. Says a “fatal error” occurs when attempting to send an email (I’m using GMAIL. Come on). Tried to contact via the website form and got a very similar error. Something is screwed up on your end and I’d guess there’s not enough money to keep all this stuff updated as technology changes
  • Route no linger works.

    The route screen no longer works. Now I just get a blank screen after entering the destination.
  • Love the premise, but has been neglected

    This is a great app, but wow, has it been forgotten by the devs. It’s slow, ungainly, the maps I’ve purchased don’t sync between my iPhone and iPad, and location services are so incredibly slow.
  • Great app

    Fun stuff!
  • Far too expensive

    Ludacris that it costs ten dollars to unlock all the “regions”. The app was far easier to navigate than the website. It’s a shame I can’t plan a trip or actually do anything on the app unless I’m in the states closest to my home.
  • Keep losing my purchase 🤦🏻‍♀️

    I tried to open the app and nothing happens. I paid for all of the regions and now, all of a sudden, nothing. It will not open. This was a nice app but where did it go? UPDATE. I was contacted and told how to fix the problem! Voila, all is good now so back to 5 stars!
