RoadSnap by the Next EXIT 4+

March update: Just did the most recent update. It's still worthless. Used to be such a great app. No longer. I paid for my years subscription back in February and it has been unusable since.

Below is my review from years ago. Now, not so much. Since the update, the app is unusable. Support used to be very responsive. Now, no emails are getting responses. I paid my annual fee in February for NOTHING.

Used the book for a while but now have been using the app for years, first on my iPod Touch now on my iPhone. When you're pulling a large horse trailer all over half of the country and also need diesel fuel, this app is a godsend. I have no complaints and the one time I needed support, I got great help via email.

I think several of the ratings of this app are a bit off base. I really like this app. There is a $14 subscription fee but it is plenty useful to be worth it if you do a lot of interstate highway driving. Rather than using the GPS and searching multiple times for different types of services, you can just look at the list of upcoming highway exits and see everything available at that exit. Much faster (no waiting on search or GPS) and more useful information. The information has proven to be very accurate in my use so far. Overall, very helpful. I used to drive a truck in the summers, this would have been a godsend.

I got the app for a cross country move since it was about the same cost as the book and I wouldn't have to fuss with the book in the truck. Big mistake! The app crashes constantly and it isn't nearly as simple to understand as the books are. The layout for the entries is so cramped that you can't make a quick glance to find things. Great idea, poor execution. If this also had a map and GPS function it would almost be worth the hassle. Just get the book instead...at least it won't crash when you need it!
