About this app

Know every corner before you reach it. Rods is your rally co-driver — it reads any road and calls out every turn, hazard, speed bump, speed camera and surface change in real time, on twisty backroads, mountain passes, canyons and touge worldwide.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

HOW IT WORKS
1. Create a route — works anywhere in the world
2. Rods maps every corner, speed bump, speed camera and surface change
3. Drive, and hear voiced pace notes before each turn

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

★ REAL-TIME VOICED CALLOUTS
Every corner is called with severity before you reach it — the direction, how sharp it is, whether it tightens or opens, and the distance to the next. Choose from different car models, voice styles, and more. Adjust callout timing to land exactly when you need it.

★ FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
• Simple mode (easy, medium, hard) or rally-style numeric severity (1–6)
• Early, standard, or late callout timing
• Metric or imperial units

★ BACKGROUND & IN-CAR
Lock your screen or switch apps — callouts keep playing through Bluetooth, your car stereo or your phone speaker. Mount it, start the drive, put the phone away.

★ CO-DRIVER MODE
Hand the phone to your passenger. Large on-screen pace notes let a human co-driver read the corners ahead while audio stays off.

★ FREE ROAM
No route planned? Free Roam calls corners live as you drive, on any road you pick.

Ratings and reviews

Genuinely, don't bother. You can't actually try anything without signing up for the 14 day trial, you can't even test it, you HAVE to commit to a trial, and they straight up tell you, they'll charge you on day 15, with an email at day 7 as a reminder. Id love to know if this would be fun or interesting, but you can't use it. subscription models for this make no sense.

I have not tested the app yet but it seems like a nice concept the only problem i saw was that there wasn't anything in Bulgaria like speed cameras, road types and speed bumps. I would love to try it with the free trial when i go on my favourite route.

pretty dam cool could use some improvement with road mapping some turns are under or over estimated sometimes and the gps is wacky sometimes could be my area but other then that the free roam is also a very cool feature will definitely have my money 🤙
