Drive Weather: Road Conditions +4

BEST MULTI-STATE TRAVEL APP EVER!!!

DriveWeather is a game changer for planning road trips! For 30+ years I spent hours checking multiple sources when planning a interstate trip, and using the DriveWeather app in less than FIVE MINUTES I have all that information (and more)!! If you travel by RV or car (or you’re a truck driver), DriveWeather really will be your new favorite app.

If you are planning travel through multiple states, this app is exceptional and the user support is exceptional too. Using DriveWeather I can easily see weather, wind speed, temperatures and precipitation for the entire trip. I can adjust the start day or time and see what the weather forecast will be for the entire trip at the time I’ll be in a specific location!! (I upgraded to the paid version on my first trip for $10/year, and received more than $10 in value the first time I used DriveWeather).

*I sent the developer a question, and in less than 30 minutes I received a very polite detailed personal response* I have never had a developer respond to a question, and if I had downloaded the latest update to the app I wouldn’t have needed to ask the question.

Best tool for planning drives!!!

What a fantastic app for looking at weather during a drive and planning! It is simple enough for determining drive time for short drives and robust enough with customizations for planning long drives.
I recently completed a cross-country trip. This app allowed me to figure out where to stop and when to depart each day to dodge weather events throughout the trip. Examples: I got through one area just as it started snowing before it got bad enough to hinder driving. It allowed me to bypass a hail storm in an area and miss some major thunderstorms in another area. It also allowed me to get to my destination before a winter storm set in which is expected to dump 6” of snow.
Now, I know that weather events can’t always be avoided, but I also see the advantage of this app is that you can at least know what to expect during the drive.
If you drive, I highly recommend adding this app!

Major Glitches

I am so anxious to find an app that does what this app claims to do, but this one isn’t there. After several times, deleting and reconfiguring a road trip I have already planned on another app, I am not going to waste any more time on this. Each time I tried, stop number 4 could not get the times right, and therefore threw off the entire trip beyond that. I can’t possibly leave a stop at 6AM, make another stop, 50 miles away, and stay there 4 hrs (leave here at 10:48AM), drive another 50 miles, and get to my next stop at 7:58AM. Especially since the route is going east across time zones, not the opposite. I really tried to get that stop fixed, including changing locations, just adding the time there, to the time at the previous stop, and deleting and re adding it multiple times. Each time, the stop 4 made the same timed error.
There are other things that make the app not so user friendly, like not having a location for Death Valley, a National Park, and not allowing you to add a waypoint off the designated route. Sometimes diversions are part of a trip, and I am looking for a travel app with weather, that allows you to set your own trip. This is not that. It is a fun app to play with but, it isn’t as functional as I would like when planning a trip across country.
