Ratings and reviews

I have made a couple of trips with it and have been very pleased with the results. My car is a 2017 Chevy Bolt. I use a Bluetooth Low Energy OBD dongle. This is very important if you want accurate information from the app. Also don't connect any other apps to this dongle as this will slow the ABRP app response time. I also use Android Auto. If you connect to the app with these connection your information is very accurate. On long trips give the app time to adjust to current conditions, wind etc.

Seems nice so far, though I haven't actually used it for a road trip yet. One thing that really bothers me is the behavior of the "back" gesture when viewing map charger details. Rather than taking me back to the map view, it starts undoing my route entirely! it's completely unintuitive and ends up being frustrating and wasting time. If I click plan route, then a charger on the stop, then details about the charger, I expect "back" swipes to then take me to the stop, then the map view.

Paid for a month to give this a try, but it does not connect to my Tesla (not registered as third party) for live data. Time estimates keep changing until they are close to what the Tesla route planning states. I don't see this as a better route planner. Now the app doesn't even open. Based on reviews, it seems great, but I haven't had that experience.
