Either charge one price for the app or make the app free and give very basic content with the in app purchase unlocking more features. -- Vip Industry, 2022-04-24 ### ***** "If you love the journey not just the destination you'll love this app." Love this app! We took a road trip to Casper Wyoming from Canada this summer. We're the kind of people that love the journey not just the destination. This app lead us to all sorts of interesting places we would never have known about. 30-foot neon cowboy? Check. A huge replica of Medusa made out of hay? Check. A life-sized tyrannosaur lit from within? Check. We had so much fun checking out crazy stuff. The reviews from travelers about each site were handy, too. You get a better sense of whether or not you'd like to drive 30 miles out of you way to visit a mile long pit of poisonous water. (BTW, you do want to stop there because it's absolutely beautiful.) -- Loulou1970, 2017-08-25 ### ****- "Great for road trips!" Just did a road trip from Ottawa, Ontario to Corpus Christi, Texas with two teenagers. This app brought us a lot of laughs and directed us to seeing things we enjoyed and would have missed otherwise. -- Cxagbjgsyjbduijjbdehbcfigedvh, 2017-08-13 ### ***** "Don't Leave Home Without It" "Roadside America," along with their companion app "Roadside Presidents," are the two most indispensable travel apps in my collection. The content is incredible and it can even be used - to a limited degree - offline. -- RobMerica, 2017-05-07 ### ***** "Awesome site" I just bought this app a few days ago. It is a little more expensive than I was told but around $10.00 still makes it a great app. I have NOT gone anywhere yet but have been able to plan out my entire summer using this map and finding what looks like great places to visit along the way. Sometimes trips can seem long but just stopping for a few minutes (or days) can help make the trip not seem so long... Plus the bonus is, you now how something new to talk about. I will review this again at the end of summer and let you know where we stopped and how great it was. -- Debonvacation, 2017-02-18 ### ****- "Roadside America" Excellent suggestions for unique sites to see that you probably won't find in most travel guides. Wish it was more up to date but with more people adding tips and photos, Roadside America will only grow and expand. -- NDadventures, 2013-07-21 ### ****- "More fun than games, these places are real!" I'm really glad I got this, and the "everything on it" all-region expansion. I'm already finding places nearby I hope to visit, like the Sparks electrical museum in Bellingham, Washington, and others I know of that I'll propose they add, like the water cistern It's a walk through to the weirdest parts of real life. -- Accordion Noir, 2013-06-20 ### *---- "Crashed" Had this app for all of an hour and it crashed. Want my money back. :( -- Hartwurmer, 2013-01-30 ### **--- "Another way to ask for more money" I probably would have known if I had read more but when I bought it I though I would have the entire US but no, for $2,99 (CDN), I had to chose for only one section of the map. It's very disappointing but I learned my lesson. If you have money to spare… it might be a good thing. If you don't, forget about it! -- Jexxie, 2012-11-11 ### **--- "The Costing seems like a ripoff. Disappointing" I have been waiting for this app to come out for months. I am a big fan of Roadside America. When I saw it was available at last here in Canada I jumpped on it. The App itself is just fine, wonderful in fact. It gives all the quarky Roadside info I have come to love from the site at my fingertips. It will be great for trips! Recommended. However, the costing is a ripoff! And I urge Roadside America to rethink this in the up dates and opt to reward its fans instead of gouging them. The $3 you pay up front only buys you one of 5 regions of the USA. you only get the info for the region you pay for. You can ad regions later if you want, at another cost. I would have gladly paid one, one time fee for this, even as high as $10 or more. I have paid that much for apps before if I really like it and know I will use it all the time. But the kicker here is, even if you by all access to to all of the USA you have to renew it every year. So every year I pay another $5?!?! So I have to pay for this app every year? I have never heard of such a thing. Who do you think you are, the NY Times? In fact I have NY Times app, and IT WAS FREE! When I buy a travel book, do I have to go back and buy it again every year? This would have been a 5 out of 5 if it wasnt for the costing. This is no way to grow your biz. I would be surprised if anyone out side of die hard core RSA fans bought into this. If you had made it one time fee of 5-10 bucks, all access, you might have brought in more new fans that way. But your current costing scam is a turn off. Rethink this in the next up date of the app, and all will be forgiven and I will gladly write another review, that one would be 5 out of 5! Fans will get this app. They will love it. They should also let RSA know how they feel about the costing scheme. (maybe its jst me?). Newbies may feel ripped off however. PS I have been thinking about it and here is a suggestion. I would pay $15 or so (the cost of a travel book) to have total access forever to this app. Also, if memebers could load up there own pictures to the site and ad reviews that would be cool too. -- JohnnyFromCanada, 2011-05-07 [View all Roadside America reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Roadside America In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | All Access | $9.99 | | Canada | $2.99 | | US - Northeast | $2.99 | | US - Southwest | $2.99 | | US - Southeast | $2.99 | | US - Northwest | $2.99 | | US - California | $2.99 | | US - Midwest | $2.99 | | US Access (v1.0-1.3) | $7.99 | ## Roadside America Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | United States | Travel | #5 | | Top Paid | Canada | Travel | #17 | | Top Paid | United States | Overall | #55 | | Top Grossing | United States | Travel | #93 | | Top Paid | Canada | Overall | #430 | ## Roadside America Discovered Keywords - roadside america ## Apps Similar to Roadside America - [iExit Interstate Exit Guide](https://apptail.io/app/iexit-interstate-exit-guide-DS/canada) - [Roadtrippers - Trip Planner](https://apptail.io/app/roadtrippers-trip-planner-MWf/canada) - [Fotospot Road Trip Community](https://apptail.io/app/fotospot-road-trip-community-mkl/canada) - [Route 66 Navigation](https://apptail.io/app/route-66-navigation-uKm/canada) - [Roadie: Road Trip Planner & RV](https://apptail.io/app/roadie-road-trip-planner-rv-sfx/canada) - [Atlas Obscura Travel Guide](https://apptail.io/app/atlas-obscura-travel-guide-tOy/canada) - [Route 66 Ultimate Guide](https://apptail.io/app/route-66-ultimate-guide-DYmb/canada) - [USFS & BLM Campgrounds](https://apptail.io/app/usfs-blm-campgrounds-DAFc/canada) - [Tripbucket Mobile App](https://apptail.io/app/tripbucket-mobile-app-hWWc/canada) - [ExploreHere - Roadtrip Guide](https://apptail.io/app/explorehere-roadtrip-guide-orye/canada) ## Roadside America Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/roadside-america-xt/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/roadside-america-xt/canada) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
