Droppath Route Planner & Map Reviews

First day using DroppathRoutePlannerMap and it seemed ok but I had about 8 stops in one community and it brought me in and out about 3 times. For some reason it took me out to do a delivery then back in for 2 more deliveries then out for 2, then back in. Me and the security guard became best friends in 1 day I saw him so much. I never had an app make that mistake more than once at the same place. Please update that. Another thing was when I optimized my route and I had non corresponding numbers all down the page. That throws me off and I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to skip around or do the stops in order as they were. It said 42, 6, 19, 4, 48...etc... That makes no sense to tell me numbers on the side if that’s not the order I should drive the route. Please make it simple and put the numbers in order as people count...1,2,3,4,5... I don’t get that part at all numbers out of order. Please fix. I’ll update as I try DroppathRoutePlannerMap out a little more... N shout to my boyy the security guard at the lumber yard...lol

DroppathRoutePlannerMap was initially good in almost every way. I tried the free version and liked it. But every time I calculated a route, I got a message saying * optimizations left for today (* = between 1-4). So you are allowed to calculate a route a total of 5 times daily. So I purchased a subscription believing this limitation would be removed. Not so! Even with paid version you are allowed to calculate a route only five times daily. When I’m scheduling my home health patient schedule, it could change more times than that before it is finalized with people cancelling or asking to be moved. Also, I calculated my route, forgot to ask it to loop me back home so when I clicked to loop, that counted as an optimization. Then, I needed to add a stop, another optimization, BUT, it then defaulted back to unlooped. So when I clicked loop again, you guessed it, another optimization. That alone used up my ability to use DroppathRoutePlannerMap for that day. Wouldn’t even allow me to manually route my addresses. Not a functional app at all when it works like this.

I signed up for the full version on October 6th. The charge would be $6.49 and it would not be billed until October 9. I needed it the next day. It said I had to wait three days for the full version. This meant that for the free trial you could only put in a limited number of routes per day, I had 149 routes! So I ended up canceling the same day. Woke up a few days later to find that my $10 in iTunes was gone.
UPDATE: The missing money has been returned.

Also, It would be nice if you could offer to waive the free trial once you purchase the full version.

I love DroppathRoutePlannerMap for work as I travel a lot and can route my customer stops easily. The downside is that I use it both on my iPad as well as my iPhone but the devices don’t sync even when logged into the same account. This makes it much less user friendly. Also, if you want to delete saved destinations it has to be done one destination at a time which is REALLY time consuming. Adding the ability to highlight multiple destinations and delete at once would be helpful.

I have used DroppathRoutePlannerMap for 4 years and I used to love it!! I’ve suggested DroppathRoutePlannerMap to many of my coworkers who have bought and used this. I deliver in a country rural area and DroppathRoutePlannerMap had streets listed that google didn’t even have. After this recent update, it has started plotting me incorrectly. There are also tons of streets that are MISSING completely that used to be on the old version. I’ve been in the same area forever and these roads that aren’t showing up used to be on the map... I don’t understand? This is very frustrating!!!! Is there any way to go back to the old version ??????????

New review: I am done. Everyday DroppathRoutePlannerMap separates the last address out from a group of addresses so that i have to return to a gated community that is now out of the way. Everyday i submit feedback to the developers and they seem to not care. I am DONE and cannot stress what hot garbage and a time waster DroppathRoutePlannerMap is.

Old review: it is soooo much better at organizing destinations that i felt i HAD to update my review. It will still have you blow past a stop right next to another, but it has improved so much and i find it a valuable tool as a usps letter carrier.
Old review: It helps organize the parcels destinations, but not much. If you know the area, you can do better with a pen and paper and a few minutes.

This is a great app that really does a good job at calculating multiple stop routes. My only complaint would be that sometimes I I notice I am passing stops to get to other stops while following the route it created. I wish it had another way of calculating the route other then less time. Shortest distance could be another way. Or grouped stops. But overall it’s a great app and worth the one time cost of upgrading.

DroppathRoutePlannerMap has helped me organize my weekly routing. I cover a very large territory that requires I drive an average of 1k a month. DroppathRoutePlannerMap has made it so I maximize my time, gas and mileage. I live in AZ and the heat can be quite exhausting if you are driving in circles. As soon as I started using DroppathRoutePlannerMap I finished my day much earlier and I ended the day feeling less frustrated. I highly recommend DroppathRoutePlannerMap as it has made me more successful in managing my day.

I’ve been trying to understand how his app works for weeks now. I finally managed to get four addresses into a common list but I could not get it to show any routes between any of them, much less create a route incorporating them all. It keeps popping up an error message “Error, Failed to find a route between the addresses” —I thought this was the whole point of purchasing DroppathRoutePlannerMap!!

I do t know what the other reviews are doing, but I’m tired of wasting my with this useless app. I work for USPS and need a good routing app. This is not it. Also, unless you upgrade to “pro” status, you have no access to their support team. I want my money refunded!

As a daily user of DroppathRoutePlannerMap I would rate 5 out of 5 just for idea but It is missing some of the options for example I’m using DroppathRoutePlannerMap for Fedex deliveries for multiple stops and have to use a different apps to set the routes for example text scanner and text editor it would of been more comfortable to have that built in one app I don’t mind to pay a lil more but have a professional app on hands

I work for FedEx, having to do about 120 stops a day. When switching from DroppathRoutePlannerMap to the map, by clicking in the address, it sent me, more than 5 times, to the wrong place. Literally just clicking at the saved address in DroppathRoutePlannerMap , it would send me two miles off, I lost about a 15% in service this past friday, and it might cost me, not maybe my job because is the first time that I use DroppathRoutePlannerMap and also the first time I fall behind so much in delivery time, but I will have to hear the big bosses tomorrow. Extremely frustrated and mad at myself for trusting in a not well working app.

I use DroppathRoutePlannerMap on my iPad six days a week and I love, it would be awesome if I could only use a Bluetooth scanner to scan the shipping labels instead of using the camera lens!!!. NETUM 2D barcode scanner reader, wireless and Bluetooth connection. Also where I could multi scan address add the all at once. That would be very convenient. Thank you!

I’m using DroppathRoutePlannerMap for school bus driving.
And I love DroppathRoutePlannerMap cause I can drop pins any where. And it’s 1 price.
A few things I see that can be added.
Lock on to my location. So I can drive and not have to scroll on the map.
A gps trail. Cause in a school bus you can’t turn around, we already have the route laid out. So I need it to record the path I drive.

I have been using DroppathRoutePlannerMap for a long time and it’s a great app for sales people, I am a sales rep and I use it every day to make my day easier and faster to see more people, lately been having trouble with it,
dots disappearing from my map, error locating the address one day and is good the next day (same address).
I hope can fix those issue and improve the import box to take more information like the store name and still send you to the right location

If you need to find the fastest way to make many stops on a delivery route, this is DroppathRoutePlannerMap . It supports up to 150 and 200 stops with the in app purchases.

The UI makes it easy to use your phones contacts or a just list of addresses! That’s a powerful tool if you are given a list of addresses from your clients!

I’ve been using DroppathRoutePlannerMap for around 3 years as a real estate appraiser. I’ve found nothing better to easily and quickly optimize stops for taking comp photos. Sometimes DroppathRoutePlannerMap has trouble correctly plotting new construction properties on newer streets, but it must be the map data source. Easy to rearrange properties and the total trip time is useful too.

I travel for a living hitting multiple stops at a time, after using website online for the past 3 years and paying $100’s with limited destination routes DroppathRoutePlannerMap makes it incredibly easy to create, edit, and use as you travel across all devices.

My first experience using DroppathRoutePlannerMap was great was done ahead of my shift and other employees with it recalculating my routes with those closer to me and then those further out.

I had to give three stars today because it jeopardized my job sending me way out when I had packages not even miles away first. Instead of it sending me close first it sent me 11 miles out first. Hopefully this is fixed fast.

I work for FedEx, when I found DroppathRoutePlannerMap I gladly paid the one time fee. I fell in love with DroppathRoutePlannerMap , then after having it for months, nearly a year, they decide that they need a monthly or yearly pay!? Extremely frustrating. Good app, worth the money, but only if you use it daily to do several stops a day.

I used the free version for a while then when it became necessary to need the pro version I purchased it. So far this is a fabulous app, if anyone delivers anything, especially like me, political yard signs with new routes daily and large numbers of stops DroppathRoutePlannerMap is a must. I highly recommend it!

Routes is the best route planner I have ever used!! I was regional manager for a delivery company and had to use maps and pins to plan routes for over 100 drivers.. it was a nightmare!!
Now I have Routes and I love it.. and it’s getting better all the time.. Support is very quick and helpful..

Thank You,
