A Better Routeplanner (ABRP)

Need ability to use apple maps as an option

App locks up when trying to add an OBD2 scanner for live data. Only reason I subscribed. Complete waste of $5. Glad I didn’t buy the annual subscription!

No matter what options or what route the PLAN fails. Working connection. Car live connected. “No working plan could be found. Please check your settings, for example adding additional charger types would greatly increase your chances of getting a plan. Please read our FAQ to find answers to common issues and questions.”

Buying an EV is like buying a magic lamp. It’s cool and you know it will do very cool things but the world around it seems to hide all the secrets. This app is not only inaccurate but is painfully hard to work. Seems easy, “just type a few addresses and hit plan” they say. Well what happens when nothing works? Really don’t waste your time

The app work great for about 2 hour with a complicated road trip to Portland Oregon. Then for no discernible reason it stopped planning routes. I tried simpler routes which no longer worked and I tried deleting and reinstalling the app and I tried the Reset Settings option and tried different cars but it wouldn’t work. I also tried the website in safari but that didn’t seem to work either. What gets me is that when I tried short routes that don’t require any charging it still didn’t work. Also for some reason the FAQ link would pop up and closed immediately! Unbelievable I have google for the FAQ page. And then the answer sound like you are throwing up your hands and saying I don’t know it work I my phone. Saying “These are indeed not very specific because in most cases it isn’t very clear to the planner how a route could be made possible.” Which is asinine that a tech company can’t find where the algorithm failed. It seems like it could try to route the path with no range restriction to tell you it is not possible due to your avoids, closed roads, etc. If the route exists then it could plan to get as far as possible and tell you it can’t cover a gap. Basic information about why it can’t route or debug information to report an error or a bug would be a huge help. I want to use this app because I believe it has a lot to offer to me as an EV owner who wants to know more about the power usage.

I downloaded this to compare the route plans between it and my Tesla. After setting up and account a couple of months ago I tested a couple of routes and it seemed useful. However, lately I have tried to us the route planner for a long trip and I keep getting the message that “we could not calculate your plan” for any route even to a Tesla charge 10 min from my house. I have deleted and reinstalled the app to no avail. I have no restrictions on chargers and didn’t really change any settings beyond setting up my car and calling access to the live data. I do t have the premium plan and I couldn’t imagine paying for something this buggy.

This app is alarmingly good at calculating energy usage within 1-2% for every trip, even long ones. It is better than my in-vehicle estimates. I trust it implicitly and use this app before every long trip. A must-have for EV owners.

As the title says, the app is great and works very well with the OBD reader. I wish the app and subscription could be shared with family so we didn’t need multiple subscriptions when sharing a vehicle.

Connected app to 2024 Cadillac Lyric and after one day the app will not connect to the car. Purchased the premium version of the app too soon. Should have used on a trial basis first. Very disappointed as I’ve wasted time and money. Make sure it works with your car before buying.

I log in and the app continues to think I’m not logged in and prompt me to log in.
