Roads by Porsche App Reviews

I love the idea. A little buggy. How is there still not an Android app?

Uses your location to give you rides near your area. It has a cool preplay function where you can actually see the route traced out on a map from a semi satellite style view before you take it, very cool. Trying to find a route now to take, will report back after I’ve given it its trial run.

The current version (3.2.161) still has trouble rerouting if you miss part of a route or don’t pass through the start point. Another feature that would be great to have is an easy option to drive a route in reverse. Edit: Rerouting is still broken in 3.2.244 and even worse now it it wants to route detours through parking lots and adjacent driveways. After trying to use it again I ended up needing to switch to a different nav app 1/4 of the way through a 300 mi drive so I’m deleting a star from

This app is very confusing much like most tech from PCA…not user-friendly whatsoever and not intuitive

But like other reviews, it doesn’t allow for deviations from the route if you want to take in the scenic aspects of your route. My biggest frustration is that you can’t change/inverse the direction of your route when you generate it. Even when choosing a starting point, what if I want to start going straight but the app makes me do a U-turn instead. It’s things like this that makes me fru

Please bring back the map function to explore other area’s routes. The auto generated routes are cool but the real gem of this app was giving the users the ability to record their own route and share it with their friends/local backroad enthusiasts. If I could go back to the previous rendition of the app i would in a heartbeat, this new version is not user friendly
