User Reviews

Roadside America is highly valued by travelers for planning trips and discovering roadside attractions. Users praise its usefulness, clear design, and the value of paid region access, as well as entertaining descriptions and related travel ideas. However, recurring issues keep cropping up: stability problems (crashes, app won’t open, blank screens), and features failing (on-route/route screens). In-app purchases and region unlocks often don’t restore or require repurchasing, and several users feel the app is neglected and slows down across devices. Overall: powerful, but with reliability and purchase-management concerns.
Pros
  • Extremely useful for planning trips and discovering attractions; users report they open it first for trip research and consult it constantly.
  • Well designed and easy to navigate, providing a user-friendly experience compared with the website.
  • Offers valuable paid content and features (region unlocks) that many users feel are worth the cost.
  • Entertaining, engaging content and descriptions that enhance road trips and inspire memorable experiences.
  • Useful for geocaching and discovering off-beat stops, adding extra travel opportunities.
Cons
  • Frequent stability and feature failures (app won’t open, blank route screens, crashes).
  • In-app purchases/region unlocking problems: purchases may not restore, regions accessible after updates may require repurchasing or fail to work across devices.
  • Perceived neglect and slow performance: app described as slow/ungainly, with maps not syncing and location services slow.

I got this app in 2014. I unlocked all regions for an additional $5.99. It’s been working perfectly until today. Now, all of a sudden, the only unlocked region is Canada. No matter what I do I can’t unlock all regions. I tried to restore, and it says I restored, but it’s still only shows the Canadian region. And I’m on vacation and wanted to use it like I always do on vacation. Usually love the app, now I’m just an extremely unhappy customer. ***** update.****** I reached out to customer service and they got back to me within one business day. I am back up and running and very happy. Thank you, Susan!

I wish that there were more than one or two destinations per town. I’d love to help support by adding locations, with information and pictures if I can in some way.
