## Review summary

Users praise ABRP for strong EV trip planning and flexible, useful routing insights, with recent updates improving usability. However, recurring issues dampen the experience: bugs and instability, feature regressions in new releases, gaps in charger data, no automatic recalculation on route changes, and onboarding/documentation challenges. Overall, ABRP remains valuable for planning, but reliability, data coverage, and feature consistency need improvement.

### Pros

- Excellent EV trip planning tool; widely used as a go-to solution for planning long trips.
- Planning insights are flexible and surprisingly accurate, helping to optimize routes and charging stops.
- Version 7.0 updates delivered noticeable improvements to usability and the interface.

### Cons

- Frequent bugs and instability; some features don’t work and a reinstall is sometimes required.
- New releases regress functionality or remove useful features, reducing overall usefulness (e.g., removal of options and sliders).
- Data gaps and inaccuracies in charging data (missing DC fast chargers and inconsistent station availability) leading to questionable routes.
- Lack of automatic route recalculation when deviations occur or charging decisions change; requires manual adjustments.
- Difficult setup and poor documentation (e.g., hard to set home location) hindering initial use.
