User Reviews for PlaceMaker Route Planner

100% would recommend for a routing app

I have used this app intensely over the past few months, and it has saved me so much time and hassle from jumbling around paperwork, trying to route spots by memory... this app has really changed the game, and saves so much wasted time. Now, there a few (very) minor stipulations I have about the GUI, and there are a couple of things that would be simpler to have (like a delete all stops option that pops up after checking off most or all stops), but the layout is really easy to learn and is effective with what it does, (you just have to explore the app a bit to know how to set some options), and I will continue to use this app for as long as I have a job that requires me to Map out routes that I have to drive!

Excellent App!

If you drive & deliver for a living , this is a must have app! The optimizer is the Best available, and I Love the sort by distance feature. The map view works great and allows you to get the deliveries done fast. I’m able to prioritize my stops using the different colors to differentiate each stop.I work for Fedex and the address scanner is amazing! It’s failsafe and copies not only the address but also displays the business name or recipients name, very helpful. Get this app and save yourself both hours & miles during your day, HIGHLY recommended!

Ok after you get used to it

So to be fair I'm not a delivery person. Recently I had a bunch of papers to distribute to a local group, not as easy as I thought it would be. After attempting to first use google maps then apple map, I found myself backtracking myself too much. So I tried the apps, this one seemed fairly simple & a bit cool. Sadly they charge extra if you ask the app to help plan the route. So I can only give three stars. The other things I had to get used to were all the pop ups & remembering what to tap, how to tap, along with when, to get the map to open a route in apple maps or google maps. But you get what you pay for especially when it's supposed to be free. No I don't need you to map the route to all my contacts. I already know the way to Grand Ma's.

Great app!

I’m a home inspector for insurance companies, so I travel to 18-30 homes a day. It gets me to and from with much ease. I’ve used other navigation units that gave me nothing but headaches. Even when there’s no service the navigation continues to guide. If you start out with no cell service it will stay in loading mode; however, the app will show your destination pinpointed on the map. It allows you to head in the right direction until service is restored.

Great for a lot of multiple stops

I looked at several apps for our “Drive around America” trip and with 26 planned stops, no one else could offer a way to map it in a single trip. Let’s you pull up your contacts, although I couldn’t get it to interface so I still had to go to the contact (through the link) copy and paste the address to this app in order to map it. I may just have not been doing it correctly either. It was easy to use on my first try. I used it on my iPad and with the map it made it easy to find my next destination and figure out which way I wanted to go. I will say one of he negatives (and again I may not have been doing it right) was that it wouldn’t let me “add a stop” at the end of my list, it put it above the last entry so I had to add a step to move it each time, plus a step to name it on the times I used actual addresses and not landmarks. Overall I am really happy with what I know so far. Definitely keeping this app. Oh and one last thing, I have not upgraded to the premium version.

Great Route Planner

2,500 stops and counting - I will always use this app as a route delivery driver. Plan and simple it keeps you organized. I use the colors green for 1 package stops, yellow for multiple package stops, and red for pickups. The slide left to delete and quick launch map buttons keep my day moving right along. I would like to see a "address lock" button or slide so certain stops don't have to be re-entered daily on any saved list. As well as a color lock feature for addresses. (The favorites aspect is still glitchy.) Not that it's hard after about two weeks with the app all you have to enter is the first 3 digits of an address and it pops up to tap on it for quick insert as long as it's been entered before. It takes me about 20 mins to enter 60+ address. App gets updated nearly weekly, great work developers...God Speed! All the love, light, and blessings for continuing to strive and make my work days easier. Best...

Incredible app makes me look good to my boss

I’ve been using the free version for several months now to deliver pharmacy prescriptions, covering an territory approximately 30 miles in diameter with about 18-25 stops per route, averaging 60-70 miles of driving each shift. I continue to discover helpful features that make my job easier and improve my job performance. I haven’t found a need to upgrade yet, but will certainly do so if the owners hire more drivers who need to share info with each other.

Best trip planner/logger

If you’re planning a trip or adventure this app is perfect for a lot of things but two it really excels in are, pre-planning and keeping a log/journal of where you went. It is really easy to add/remove/rearrange stops, compare distances, etc. When you get home you have a map/route based log of your trip that can be used to help plan a new trip or just review while you remember all the places you visited/stayed. The menus and general UI can take a little bit of hunting at times but considering the number of features available the UI is done very well.

USPS Rural Carrier’s Review

I used the free version today to deliver my express mail. It was a little confusing to start with. I USUALLY: enter address, deliver, end navigation, enter next address. RINSE & REPEAT.APP: I entered each address / Stop first. Supervisor already had them in numbered order but it was cool to be able to slide each stop before or after another.EXPECTED: I thought it guide me to first stop. I could hit done or complete and it would automatically begin the next. NOPE: Had to end navigation, go back to app, select next stop, it auto switched to Apple Maps, I select GO, Drive, Deliver, End Nav, back to app, and again… rinse & repeat.It continued to nag me with notices about the paid version which I could have selected (don’t show me again) but wanted to look into it further.WANTS:Ability to scan USPS barcode OR address labels where OCR software could quickly convert & create a stop.Ability to mark a stop as complete. Either by app asking me once arrived or by pressing a button.Ability to add how many items are being dropped off or delivered at the same location. Triggered either by manually entering or automatically via scanning a barcode or address multiple times.I often beta test apps and would love to join the Beta program.

Poor app quality, poor customer service

I used this app for a while, daily as a subscriber, thought it was odd that you can't select which map search provider it defaults to. It defaults to apple maps, I don't use apple maps so I wanted to switch the default search provider to google maps, no option to do so. So I contacted customer service, they replied back with google maps search is too expensive and the refused to update their app software. You already allow me to search via google maps, why can't I change my defaults? They also told me they were the only provider of this route planning software to allow you to search google maps, hmmm no your not the only one to allow me to search via the preference I have on maps. So what are they using the money I paid every month for premium version of this app. Canceled my subscription. My suggestion don't waste your time or money, theres other options out there like RoadWarrior.
