## Review summary

ABRP offers strong EV-focused routing with charging-stop planning and SOC estimates, backed by OpenStreetMap data, making it useful for long trips. Many users praise its depth and accuracy, sometimes calling it the best route planner. However, recurring issues across reviews include reliability problems, problematic traffic data, persistent UI bugs, and concerns about premium pricing. When it runs smoothly, it's a powerful EV trip planner; stability and cost concerns limit its consistency.

### Pros

- Accurate EV routing with charging stops and estimated state of charge, easing range anxiety.
- Strong for long trips and provides in-depth, useful trip planning.
- OpenStreetMap-based data gives a solid, open-data mapping foundation.
- Generally comprehensive planning features that many users consider essential.

### Cons

- Reliability and stability problems: lag, crashes, and occasional failures to open or respond.
- Traffic data handling can misreport road viability; rural routes may be treated as closed.
- UI/UX bugs: issues inputting destinations, address-saving loops, and upgrade button remaining greyed out.
- Premium pricing is high and value is variable for users.
