2025-01-11	Pa*****	Do not sign up for this app unless you want to pay for it for the rest of your life! I have asked that it be cancelled more than once and yet they still take the money out of my account!

2024-11-22	pa*****	This is the most horrible experience I've had with an app. I've cancelled my subscription for almost 2 years now and I'm still being billed for this app. I've called GOOGLE so many times and no one can seem to help because there is no subscription found. GOOGLE needs to refund me me over 300 dollars back.

2023-11-30	Ma*****	Not a pleasant experience. As far as optimization of your stops/route from your/my location til the last stop, road warrior is better. This app still had my stops all over the place, only recognized my first stop but had my second stop and following over in another area to have me come back to my position later on in the route, no thanks. #uninstalled

2023-10-12	Al*****	Stops not changing appearance after marking complete; search not finding simple numbers on streets; camera scan does not work. Subscribed after seeing how brilliant the app is (even as a free version) on his iPhone, loads more sorting options, scanner picking up printed addresses etc. This android version however feels like a rip off so far in comparison.

2023-07-30	Ia*****	As a paid subscriber, I was until now very impressed, but since the last 2 updates I no longer have a route line between stops. What changed, because I did nothing!

2023-01-17	Je*****	Takes me to the wrong address by a block or two away. Does not have new homes in system. Optimize feature tries to get me to pass up stops to get to a particular stop then back to the stops i have passed to Deliver later. Its like scrambling eggs. Really messy.
