A Better Routeplanner (ABRP) App Reviews

I love this app, as a way to realistically, plan my route, business or personal!

This app is the most helpful way to map a trip with an EV, hands down!

Thorough listings of all charging sources

This app is an absolute game changer. I am on a trip from Texas to Ohio and then to Chicago. This app flawlessly guided me from stop to stop and never left me stranded. So impressed with the thoughtful design. I bought the Bluetooth dongle and highly recommend it. (Get the $75 one). Worth every penny!

It would be nice to have dark version of icon

7.0 update has nice updates. Too bad my R1T doesn’t support carplay so I could take advantage of them. Back to the phone mount.

I’ve used ABRP for >2 years. It is often helpful and sometimes frustrating. However, the data it gives me helps to inform my drive. This version includes a much easier to use interface. This is a very welcome change and I look forward to my next trip.

I would like to be able to make notes to regarding the features I need. Like right now I am in my Ioniq6 going to the next charger. I would like to enable preconditioning but for it to work I need to set the cars map guidance to the EV stations address. I can not find it in the ABRP app or the cars Navigation system. Please add that data.

Maybe I’m trying to impose my preference too much but for a trip where I know the one waypoint charger I want to use. I just want the app to tell me how much I need to charge at that waypoint. I was having to fight the app too much to say “this and only this stop”. It asks me to spend 1 minute at that stop and then drive thirty minutes to spend 12 minutes at another stop.

There’s a lot going on behind the scenes that could make this app phenomenal. Its calculations for range, its ability to take in live data, it has the potential to be one of the best EV apps on the market. But the UI/UX is just bad. And there’s no way to sugarcoat that. Recently, I tried setting destinations from my current location and every. single. time. it kept overriding the “Use current location” and instead generated a path from our house. I *want* to pay to use this app but until

ABRP has always had an odd UX that is not very intuitive. I figured by now there would be some improvement but no. Still feels like a web app running in a container. Confusing how vehicle settings have impact on trip planned. I drive a Rivian and find it extremely confusing how this app is owned by Rivian yet there is no live data recording… WTH?
