Togo RV - RV GPS and more Reviews

I previously left a pretty scathing rating and review as I was quite frustrated that a modern iOS app did not provide iPad support. And now they have added it! So I have to acknowledge this effort with a higher rating as TogoRV continues to improve and the folks at Togo RV seem to be listening to feedback.

I do like the breadth of integrated features especially the overnight RV parking, but I actually use their other apps which are not as well integrated yet, Campendium and Roadtrippers. The Togo RV app just launches the Campendium website - not even TogoRV - so it is easier to just go to the Campendium app. And it doesn’t appear I can even load routes I created in Roadtrippers (if I missed it please feel free to correct me). So integration is still lacking.

That then leaves the RV GPS feature which I admit is the reason I still have TogoRV, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to use it often because it does not support Apple CarPlay. Their competitor does, though I admit it is dreadful looking app on the car. Implement an even better looking CarPlay experience and you will certainly gain another star for sure!

Overall TogoRV alone is only ok, but I am satisfied with the value of the Roadpass Pro membership only because of what I get in their other apps such as Campendium and Roadtrippers. So keep working on it - I’m not canceling anytime soon as I am optimistic there are better features to come!

There seems to be a good comprehensive list for packing (having the option to add and remove items that are actually used would make a packing list more useful). Please update and add a pop-up to your list of options. Will update review as I use it more.

I got the premium because of RV miles. I figured if he was recommending this, he had used it and he was happy with TogoRV . I mainly got it for the GPS feature which you can only use on your phone it will not work with CarPlay. So you have to have someone else helping you use TogoRV or you pick up your phone and try to look at it while you’re driving not a very good idea! If this was a free app I would understand but an app that you pay $40 for. I’ve read that they’re going to do something with CarPlay but that was quite a while ago and it still hasn’t happened. I wish I had canceled my subscription before my free trial was over. I was hoping they might get CarPlay into their app but if it’s been over a year they’ve been talking about it god knows when it might happen if ever.

I can’t believe I spent money to use TogoRV. It has less than half the camping suggestions that other sites have. Four times it took us to gas stations that did not exist or were out if business. And it is not AT ALL user friendly. You put in the RV route gps (the only feature I even use now) and if you want to find gas or a restaurant along the way you have to completely back out of the gps route to find something. It does not save locations so you have to retype your entire destination (all the first default destinations are outside the US). And good luck loading anything if you don’t have decent wifi.

Someone took my $40 and put it right onto their pocket because it did not go to trying to make this a better app. Use anything else!

If TogoRV was free I would rate it higher but for $40/year TogoRV needs to do better! I definitely will be canceling it before my free trial period is over!

Its basic failures:
1. it’s not compatible with Car Play. It’s not safe for me to drive on my own in the RV using TogoRV since I don’t want to look down to look at the screen. Therefore it can only be used when my husband and I are traveling together. All of the free map apps I use are compatible with Car Play; I certainly expect an app that costs $40/year to be compatible!

2. I don’t see a way to change the starting location. This is a problem; we like to plan ahead. For example, I would like to know how long it will take to go from Portland to Seattle when I’m in Northern California. The main reason TogoRV appealed to me is to make sure we are avoiding routes with low clearance bridges and tunnels. I should be able verify this a week in advance.

3. It doesn’t seem to be possible to add a stop along a route. Again, this is possible with basically any other map app. Why should I pay $40 for something that can’t do this?

Many of the links in TogoRV take me to the website where I must login again to try and accomplish the task. It also demands that I turn on cookies in my browser. Why?
I got a message that my Plus subscription is about to expire, but I haven’t found how/where to find my subscription nor to renew it. The “Manage Subscription” link in My Account returns the message “Changes may take a moment to appear” but nothing ever appears!
TogoRV seems to need more work to be useful to me w/o switching back & forth from TogoRV to the web.

I got this based on review on RV Miles. It’s better than several other apps I tried, but there are issues:

1). App crashes repeatedly even after removal and reinstalling. Very frustrating when you are in the back roads the tends to use and have no place to pull over and restart TogoRV . I fly solo, so there is not a copilot to deal with the reboot.
2). Kicked out of TogoRV at random times. Having to login again adds to frustration noted in #1.
3). TogoRV seems to take a lot of backroads. Today from San Diego to Lake Havasu, instead of US 8 out of Dan Diego I was on CA state routes with a 16 ft RV and multiple switch backs up and down the hillsides.
4) I have noticed a number of links to campground websites are out of date or contain typos. More attention to this detail would make it east locate campgrounds in new areas when I don’t have recommendations.

Thank you for your consideration of these items.

Just getting started with TogoRV but would love a place to keep up with our trips. Right now I keep it in my IPhone notes. I like to keep up with the travel dates, miles we traveled to the site, campground, our site number and notes what we liked and disliked. That way when someone ask me recommendations I can look back at my notes. Would be great to have it all under one place.

Also can you add the maintenance requirements for Forest River Salem travel trailer?

Are you kidding me? In today’s electronic world, TogoRV does not rotate with the screen. This is the most basic of all things in TogoRV world and it lacks that. As far as the rest of TogoRV it has basic features, but it appears to be lack luster; not exciting. An I really find the “Developer response” so generic (meaning that it is automated script) that it is meaningless.

So, the message here is to get into the 2021 and update your app.

I wanted to join for a year but the 10 off coupon is rejected by Apple too bad we camp a lot and would love to use and review but I canceled the subscription. Campendium still wanted a subscription after choosing plus also, I thout Campendium was included? If it works later may try again

Can’t get past the registration screen. Can’t use the search feature on the data base. I typed in Airstream and nothing comes up so I press the “use “airstream” button” and move to the model line. Same issue in that box. No search feature available for classic so I type in. When I move to next box, the airstream that I put in there is now gone.

This can be a very cool application that I know THO spent a ton of money on developing. Just need it to work or at least be able to get past the registration screen!

Unfortunately, I may never use TogoRV as I am deleting it from my device now and just won’t do anything with it until I hear something in the news.

Hope someone is reading this and fixes issues.

Really a wonderful app that I’m happy to pay for. I just wish it had car play integration. Outside of that one tidbit, it’s really wonderful in every way

Got this based on RV Miles suggestion. It’s a joke! I wonder if they even actually have used TogoRV. It is so inaccurate it’s crazy! I put in a destination and if I had followed it I would have travelled literally 600 miles out of my way! Thankfully I checked it with my Garmin GPS. What a waste of money! Folks, don’t pay for the upgrade! It’s useless

We just got TogoRV and tried using it, going from Gunnison, Co to Estes Park, Co. The voice commands on directions only gave partial information. It said only three words then stopped. Like in a 1/4 mile…..When it should have said in a 1/4 mile turn left on highway 285. Like not having a GPS at all. I had to use my truck GPS which directed me like I was not towing a RV. Not Happy at all so far.

ToGo is off to a good start for v1. They need to get up to date with compatibility with phones and iPads. Screen size didn’t adjust and some buttons were hidden. If your into Bata testing give it a try. If you get frustrated when apps don’t work smooth wait for v2.0

Is there a setting that can rotate the screen to make it I-pad user friendly ??

So far TogoRV is very disappointing sure you can put in detail information for your Rv and download Roadtrippers but the gps doesn’t use that information. Also it will not even allow you to put in your home address it say it can’t find it. The campground search is useless.

Made it through the verification process with no trouble. The first app screen to register info was a different story. Made to the bottom of page to save then it kicked out my model then kicked out the optional VIN. Entered all info several times with the same result. Can’t go any further. Not impressed. Will delete soon.

TogoRV reminds me of the first GPS available. It seemed very outdated and sent me on a route that took 2.5 hours longer than necessary. If it was updated it would've know that you can cross CBBT with your RV. For a app that you pay $40 a year for I expected more.

I really like the checklists. They are indispensable. The maintenance reminders are great also. Helps keep everything running smoothly.

The only app I’ve found that lets you track maintenance, use checklists, and search for campgrounds and service centers.

Have it all in one place. Great trip info and suggestions.

Cool features already use Roadtrippers and love the checklist functionality

I cannot complete or close the registration screen. TogoRV does not recognize my 2006 National Dolphin 5342 RV, and there is no way and to close the registration screen. Even after re-booting my iPad, deleting APP, and re-installing it, the un-closeable registration screen is still there.

It appears to me that TogoRV is not ready for Prime Time!

Poor interface. Started with trouble even getting login info entered. Had to add twice. Then could not get RV info entered. Only allowed 4 of about 10 info items to show. If you left page had to start all over. Super bad first impress. Deleted

To use TogoRV , you need to enter specific data on your RV. It asks for (among other things) make and model of your unit. When it comes to entering model ‘Phaeton’ (I own a Tiffin Phaeton) it won’t accept it. TogoRV then won’t let me go any further. A waste of time.

Love TogoRV. Can’t wait to see what other features they add.

It’s an ok app for features. The software folks had a big miss in that once a maintenance item is checked, even if by accident, it logs it with apparently no way to remove or edit.

After downloading app, I received an email to verify my email. When I click on verify, it takes me to Edit Profile page. Never was able to open ...

After hearing shut how helpful TogoRV would be I wanted so badly for it to work but couldn’t even get past the add my RV page !! Bummer and disappointed
