A Better Routeplanner (ABRP‪)‬ 4+

Great functionality lacking in execution

This app has all you can wish for in terms of functionality… but it’s being developed in the wrong framework. That web based interface surely saves you some money but at the cost of usability.

Input is laggy, interface is all over the place, colors don’t help readability, navigation logic is not great.

So much potential, too bad it’s not there just yet.

Developer Response ,

Hi! We're well aware we have areas where we need to improve and we really appreciate constructive user feedback.

Regarding frameworks, we're not a big corporation looking to save money. Quite frankly, as we're still a rather small start-up we would never have been able to keep development fast had we not chosen a cross-platform solution.

We do hope to, as we grow, be able to give the app some professional polishing also ;)

Good features. A nightmare in terms of ergonomy (both UX and UI)

Should be essential for all EV drivers. However even the premium version is a real nightmare to use. I guess those people have never made any user test.

Not completely like I would like it

I’ve tried the free premium for one month. Unfortunately I think this period was to short for me to decide if this app is worth the premium fee. For short trips I find this app to much of a struggle to use, and I didn’t make enough long trips to decide on its usefulness. End of October I plan a long trip (1000+ km) so if there’s a way to try premium again then that would be much appreciated. 😋

Anyway… I’ve had some problems with CarPlay too: first time it worked flawlessly but on my 220km return trip CarPlay was just very buggy. GPS lagging behind and jumping in steps of several hundreds of meters and the gps would even completely stop if the screen of my phone went black.

The user interface is imho not very intuitive and I find it hard to use. Especially for short trips. The selection of available charging passes is also far from complete. I use MobilityPlus pass from my employer when in Belgium and have to use my own passes when in foreign countries. Would be nice if there is a way to specify this.

For the rest: I like the look of the navigation screen in CarPlay. And the app has a lot of potential and for the moment is probably the best one can get but isn’t just there yet… So I’m in dubio for the premium fee because most of my trips are short and I find the app not user friendly enough for those.
