NEXIT Reviews

by Jig66

Just downloaded and installed. While it looks good on the outside, it needs some fit and finish to make it shine. Please show vehicle speed and and speed limits. While the development where I live is relatively new, every other map app has updated it, but not this app. Gas pricing is a very nice feature. Trip planning, reservations within NEXIT , very well done! Please allow users to report traffic, roadway hazards, police etc. These are just basics that Waze already has. If you want to run with the big dogs you have to play with the same tech. Just a few tweaks to make it an all in one.
I tried to like it.....no dark mode? I can’t use NEXIT at night. I’ll wait for a few updates to see what happens.

Wanted to like NEXIT but it’s map data is ancient. There’s fast food locations in my area opened for years that don’t show up. Conversely there are places out of business for a long time that still look like they exist in NEXIT. Without current data, this kind of app is useless and I wouldn’t trust it on a road trip. And there isn’t even a way to report corrections.

by Michael_J_Flynn

This is an attractive app with a cool interface, but it will remain useless to me in the real world until it is CarPlay compatible. I was told a year or two back that CarPlay compatibility was coming soon. What happened to that? Even more disappointing, I just did a search of the services at an interstate exit near me and found the data to be way out of date. Sorry, but this app is starting to seem like “abandonware.”

I used this app on a trip today for the first time. Just some first impressions:
1. It would be nice to be able to change the zoom on the map. Once I pinch out, it reverts to the too small view in a moment. I can’t see the darn thing!
2. I got to my destination (using Maps) and reopened this app, it showed my current location but said that I was outside of the United States. (Trust me, I know that I am not)

Good app but lacks the ability to find an address. Also no satellite view option which I use a lot to show me what the area looks like. NEXIT is only good for taking trips while on the road or shows what restaurants or gas stations nearby. I have a GPS that does the same thing and have more options.

by Auntiegramma

I’m still too new at out to say how well it can do trip planning… I have been frustrated with the major GPS apps, and this one seems to be able to plan a trip that goes from one place to another place while finding things along the way (not only from your current destination).

I haven’t spent enough time to give it a full review. It doesn’t seem to save trips, so I have to keep inputting the same info each time I restart NEXIT , but NEXIT indicates there will be a “trip history coming soon.” It’s not clear if that means you can look back at where you’ve been or actually save trip plans and access them when you hit the road. Currently it doesn’t look like you can do either.

As parents of four kids whom also travel with our dog, traveling can be a little chaotic! this app helps to plan our stops where we get the cheapest gas and the restaurant everyone can agree. Our stops are more purposeful, convenient and efficient by planning ahead. It’s also nice when traveling long distances to have hotels along the way so we can make reservations before they book up (we’ve learned the hard way before NEXIT on I-95.). This really is the smartest app you’ll ever travel with.

by Wohbam02

This really is the smartest map you’ll ever use! It allows me to easily find the cheapest gas and customize my travel experience. I recommend this app!

by Seth Canterbury

By far best app i have used for my travels! Helped me when I was almost empty on gas heading too Columbus! 100% recommend NEXIT !

by Alonstrans

I’m a professional driver. I drove a client over the weekend from Houston to San Antonio. NEXIT is great helpful very easy to use. I highly recommend it!

by Vivi2b4

I used NEXIT on my trip and it made finding gas and other planned stops along the way so easy.

by Kele_okereke

Easy app to navigate. Lots of useful features and a preferred alternative to pre-loaded phone map apps.

by Alex000000000007

NEXIT just keeps getting better and better. Thank you this app for all the improvements.

by MSULB32

Incredible app that makes navigation much easier when looking for something specific!

by Davebtwo

What really like is the ability to pick out what I at an exit. Then let NEXIT work. It lets you know which exit has the hotel, food and stores one is looking for.

by Traveler56789

NEXIT is really easy to use! The icons on the map are great because it makes shopping locations, restaurants, etc. easy to locate. Highly recommend!

by Chels.92

We used this app during our trip to Tennessee. NEXIT is a must for anywhere you plan to travel that you are not familiar with! Highly recommend, and I will not travel without NEXIT!!

by Nakaya151

this app successfully got me to the beach and I was able to find the cheapest gas along the way. Also very helpful when looking for specific places to stop for food. I will be using this app for travel from now on!

by Myrnakhill45

NEXIT is one of a kind. It allows you to conveniently find stops ahead of time while making long trips rather than scanning the signs along the road trying to find a place to make everyone happy. It’s an awesome app and I always make sure to recommend it to everyone!

by Softball D 16

I recently used NEXIT on a trip to North Carolina and Indianapolis. I will never use anything else now, being able to customize my trip and seeing gas prices along the way is priceless.

by Svbj

If you want to drive in expressways and long distances this one is supposed to make it easy to plan. But lacks features, I guess was released before they put it all together. Lot of times it doesn’t load, doesn’t show the road or features. Just a plain white screen. Doesn’t let you choose/search. Waze shows features on road (like restaurants, fast food Etc) but this one doesn’t even show anything unless you select. Baseline: not intuitive, or has exciting features. Update soon before becomes irrelevant

by BrentRN

The $10 million received by the developers shows in the pretty interface but NEXIT ’s deficiencies keep this from being more useful than other navigation apps. Some problems:
1. No CarPlay. If you use CarPlay NEXIT is downright dangerous as you would have to look at the phone.
2. Poor nav engine. Nav seems to favor the rote with fewest turns rather than fastest. Some really suggested routes.
3. No zoom in and search ability. It is only able to search an exit if you are actively on a planned route. I was unable to just select an area and ask for amenities.
4. Missing places. Looked at a nearby interchange and this app was unaware of 3 of the 4 restaurants all within 1/4 mile of each other.

There’s more problems but overall this is not worth a download until these serious deficiencies are fixed. Maybe some of that VC money is left to fix it.

by Wassupcraig

She could have never downloaded the current app or seen the “real” current version live. Author of article just quotes the developer and all his lies. Why would Forbes or the author even waste time on an app with 2.4 stars out of 75. Gives 3 gas stations within 10 mile radius, all mom and pop. Once you select an amenity, street map disappears. Can’t just move around NEXIT and have locations for food or gas appear. THANKS FORBES, I have deleted NEXIT after 20 minutes of trying to bring up the examples in its walk thru with very limited success. And thanks FORBES for allowing such worthless writers on your trusted site. I have now DELETED FORBES from my GOOGLE FEEDS as well!

by GeekinTodd

Tried and app is horrible . Shows where am at but if look for Walmart, Home Depot, etc doesn’t show anything even close in the state I’m in. I know you have to start somewhere but come on developers, have some common sense for design and features or will turn off people right off the bat as this is absolutely no go for me. Nearest grocery store, gas, restaurants, etc does not show. Do comparison like Waze or google maps, have icons for gas, look for store names, frys electronics shows no results, not looking at contacts, no favorites, avoid tolls, quick links to home/work, traffic, etc.

by Ryancrowtv

I downloaded NEXIT after reading an article about it, but NEXIT in its current version does not deliver on its promises. First off, when I put in the destination and go to navigate the route, all the streets disappear from sight. I don’t hear any turn by turn directions which isn’t great if I’m driving and don’t want to constantly refer to my phone. Secondly I cannot type a location name i.e. Costco Gasoline. I have to use an actual address which also isn’t great. I’m sticking to Google Maps and Waze for now.

by MainelyTed

Nice little app with a fine concept, decent graphics, and good “bones”, but it needs to be fleshed out.
Missed my home location by a few miles.
Doesn’t even show the McDs, BoJs, and Wendy’s at my nearest exit, let alone the “better” restaurants available there (even if you search them by name).
Nor can you drop a pin to correct the map start or finish, or to create a detour.
Once NEXIT sets the route, it won’t show most locations, services, or restaurants on parallel roadways, and the shown route can pass through large communities without showing any services at all.
Obviously, the mapping coordination and data base need work before this can get any mainstream adoption. Just too many deficiencies right now. I’ll keep it in my “Travel” folder and see what comes, but I won’t be relying on it for Xmas trips (this year).
Maybe it works better in other places, but hold off on this one right now.

I had just talked with family members over holidays on the need for”smart” features of GPS/maps that could know your direction while traveling and give you info based on where you were going. (No need to find that 3 exits ago was either great price for gas or restaurant you want.).

I was excited that this promised to do what I had been looking for. HOWEVER, after downloading app and typing in 1st address, I was disappointed. Wouldn’t take address. (Address showed, but when I hit enter, it was as if I hadn’t hit it - not even after 10 times).

Love concept and encourage writers to get kinks worked out.

by Rpknowles

I love the concept but needs some work. I have been looking for something that would allow me to look for hotels, food, gas, etc on my route. Wish I could put a mileage or time frame with what I was looking for and have it provide me a list within that category and range on my route. For example I want to stop at a hotel in 30 to 60 minutes after input the information it would provide me with a list of hotels down the road within a reasonable distance of my route. Also needs to work with Apple CarPlay.

by HHPansy

Saw an article about this app being an all in one travel app so I downloaded. this app allows the user to input their destination and gives them directions while also allowing them to customize their trip based on need/want. I can travel on long trips and find the cheapest gas and stop at Chick Fil A for a lemonade! this app is user friendly and easy to figure out. I’ve been using it and it doesn’t disappoint!

by Steve29585

I was able to use NEXIT to find the exits on the interstate that have my favorite gas stations or restaurants on my trip. You can even find the cheapest gas stations for the route. No other app I found gives you the ability to map out your trip and then be able to select all of your stops based on the hotel, gas station, restaurant, ... criteria you enter. Always wanted an app that would do that!

by David33957

Open NEXIT , and it shows the 3 nearest gas stations, with prices. The best price is highlighted in green.

NEXIT includes detailed data about restaurants, hotels and service stations (and much more) along the way. Looking for an exit with a Cracker Barrel restaurant AND a hotel with the indoor pool? Bingo. There are SO many other features - way beyond just driving directions. Five Stars.

by Billy Boy 21

NEXIT has amazing information on every major business on every exit. It’s not perfect but they are continuing their development. I LOVE seeing what businesses are on every exit. You can search by business name for example, and see what exit you need to stop at for McDonalds, Speedway Gas Station and a Comfort Inn that is on your way.

by RLockwich

After only about 2 minutes of checking out NEXIT after reading an article on Apple News about it, I feel NEXIT is best suited for longer road trips vs using Google Maps, Waze or Apple Maps as the usual suspects for daily use navigation.
