Two major issues - not being able to add an extra region of the country. I was able to add the southeast initially but can’t add any other region. In the process of doing so, the app consistently tells me that my email address is invalid but this is the only email address I’ve had. Tried several times with the same result. So I can only use this for the first region selected. I understand that I will have to pay extra for added regions but I can’t even try to add them because I’m told that my email address is invalid. -- JDPHX, 2024-12-11 ### ***** "Love it!" As a full time RV’er, this is an app I can’t live without. Makes life on the road so much more interesting (not that it isn’t already interesting). Whenever I’m in a new spot, I use the attractions in the app as a tour of the city. The paid version is well worth the money even if you don’t live on the road. -- Ruyadad, 2024-09-17 ### ***** "Love this app!" We use this for funny fun side trips when traveling. All this entertainment for under $10. How fun! -- Survivor havin fun, 2024-08-21 ### ***** "It’s a blast" I geocache too so a lot of times the 2 apps take me to fun places. I have used it all over the US and parts of Canada. Thanks. -- Janbo1970, 2024-08-08 ### *---- "App is not accessible" This app is a waste of money. Just because I'm blind, doesn't mean I don't like going to see unique things throughout the nation. The buttons are not labeled on this app, the map is not accessible, there are no lists to scroll through, and it just seems like they did not put any care into properly coding this app. what a waste of money. It's not like I could preview the app for free before purchasing. I thought this was a sure thing. I'm extremely disappointed and cannot say just how much a waste of time this app is for anyone who isn't "normal. "Which is funny, since this app offers up the most abnormal things out there. well, just seems like this company doesn't care about the rest of us. Way to be inclusive, kids. -- MadJHatter13, 2024-08-04 ### *---- "Mildly interesting" Not worth a detour -- LisaLikeDat, 2024-07-16 ### *---- "Loggin issues" Forgot pe and user and even though I have tried recovering for hours on end , it has me in a stupid loop I can’t get out of🤬🤬🤬 -- DScmidt, 2024-07-10 ### *---- "scam app" downloaded app but it never worked. a few days later i got charger 3$ and the app still never worked. -- the king joe 6, 2024-07-10 ### ***** "Where is “restore previous purchased”" Original review: “I paid for access to the whole United States a few years ago and used it several times, but rarely used the app afterwards. I just noticed my app has updated and now I have no US access and it’s shows I need to pick a single free region. I do not see a button to “restore previous purchases”. What gives??!” Update:A few days after I posted the above initial review, the developer responded to my issue and after a couple of emails they figured out why I was having an issue (I had updated my email account) and told me how to resolve it. I’m up and running. I’m very impressed with a developer who took the time and effort to fix my problem on an app I purchased almost eight years ago. Excellent app and excellent Developer! -- JimAtVerizon, 2024-06-18 ### *---- "Awful App" Paid for the app to try and find attractions on my cross country road trip but the app will not allow me to go more than 1000 miles even with regions open. Not worth it. -- slyvers513, 2024-06-10 ### ***** "Favorite App for a trip" I absolutely love this app. I have been visiting roadside America when is was just a website before apps existed. RA makes all of our trips fun and memorable! -- wall pics, 2024-06-02 ### *---- "App not easy" Paid for all regions, but cannot navigate thru app. Will stop payment -- Mauitdub, 2024-05-26 ### *---- "Review" Very poor and difficult to use still struggling -- Myh-3140, 2024-05-25 ### ***** "Essential for everyone!" This well designed, easy to navigate app is a must have for anyone living in, visiting, or having any interested whatsoever in the U.S. of A! -- Jack's Cats, 2024-05-03 ### ***** "Accurate!" I love this app that my grandson found! We now explore nearby sites but off the main drag that offer art, history and more with little or no inconvenience. Love it! -- GrammieNC, 2024-03-29 ### *---- "Trying to access" I opened the app and selected region of interest and then nothing. Can’t post for or access anything. Just stuck on opening page. What a bust -- MicMinneman, 2024-03-19 ### ***** "Numerous" There are so many obscure interesting places and sites to see in this app. Absolutely amazing. Thank you -- Teb53, 2023-09-09 ### ***** "Best way to travel" This is the best app to make a family road trip wacky fun! Whether it’s the shoe shaped house or Captain Kirk’s future birthplace, the most humdrum trip is so much better with a few mind bending stops. -- C wander, 2023-09-09 ### ***-- "Fun, but hard to find everything!" I really enjoy the amount of attractions offered, but it’s very difficult to make sure I don’t miss anything interesting. I would LOVE if you would make the map work so that when I scroll around, it shows all the attractions. Having to push the “show attractions in this area” only shows attractions local to the center of the screen, and I miss many. It would also really help to open the app and have the map appear directly. I would also like a search function. If, for example, I want to find all the Bigfoot-themed attractions on the app, there’s no way to do so. :( -- First time runner., 2023-08-14 ### ***** "Best App for travel" We’ve used this app for years while traveling around the US. We’ve seen so many neat, unique things because of Roadside America. The app is easy to search, the information and pictures about each place make them easy to find. With this app are able to appreciate each location even more. We recommend Roadside America to everyone we talk to about travel. -- Boberino99876, 2023-08-04 [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 | |------|-------| | Canada | $1.99 | | All Access | $6.99 | | US - Midwest | $1.99 | | US - Northeast | $1.99 | | US - Northwest | $1.99 | | US - Southeast | $1.99 | | US - Southwest | $1.99 | | US - California | $1.99 | | US Access (v1.0-1.3) | $5.99 | ## Roadside America Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | United States | Travel | #5 | | Top Paid | Canada | Travel | #53 | | Top Paid | United States | Overall | #111 | ## Roadside America Discovered Keywords - road ahead - along the way - road trip - roadside attractions - attractions - roadside america - road trip map - fotospot road trip planner - explore here - trip map ## Apps Similar to Roadside America - [AllStays Camp & RV: Camping](https://apptail.io/app/allstays-camp-rv-camping-tC/united-states) - [NPS Parks App](https://apptail.io/app/nps-parks-app-XRd/united-states) - [Roadtrippers - Trip Planner](https://apptail.io/app/roadtrippers-trip-planner-MWf/united-states) - [Fotospot Road Trip Community](https://apptail.io/app/fotospot-road-trip-community-mkl/united-states) - [Route 66 Navigation](https://apptail.io/app/route-66-navigation-uKm/united-states) - [Harvest Hosts - RV Camping](https://apptail.io/app/harvest-hosts-rv-camping-SCn/united-states) - [Atlas Obscura Travel Guide](https://apptail.io/app/atlas-obscura-travel-guide-tOy/united-states) - [Route 66 Ultimate Guide](https://apptail.io/app/route-66-ultimate-guide-DYmb/united-states) - [Tripbucket Mobile App](https://apptail.io/app/tripbucket-mobile-app-hWWc/united-states) - [ExploreHere - Roadtrip Guide](https://apptail.io/app/explorehere-roadtrip-guide-orye/united-states) ## 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.
