EV route planning features are very nice. Actually driving the route can be improved. Taking my SoC is innacurate. I plugged in a Bluetooth paired odb2 device but I can't tell if it is used. I miss the reports from other drivers that I have with other mapping apps ( such as waze), and the ability to provide them as well. Speed limit data is not always correct.

The route options are not visible on the map in pro version, only the names of the chargers/stops. When clicked onto alternative chargers/route, it would be great to have them visualized on map, just like in google maps.

Force use of Interstate numbers instead of memorial names
Traveling on I65 in southern Indiana, I was told to continue straight on a highway named Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds Highway. No directional signs use that name and it was not completely clear where I was supposed to be going. I stared at the map on my screen and decided it meant to stay on I65. That was correct. Can you please not use names that nobody knows and stick with interstate numbers? Thanks.

Lake Ontario
Glad to see ABRP is still identifying Lake Ontario and not kowtowing to the pettiness of the current US Executive Administration. Bravo ABRP

High-risk route
The app created an optimized route that took me through a sugarcane field. Up until the point when I was on the dirt road, I didn’t see a problem, but driving down the aisles of a plantation that only has room for one vehicle was strange. I think this type of situation needs to be reviewed. This happened in the state of Alagoas, Brazil.

Search during navigation of next stop should account for where the stop is and not from current position
…does always search in the area where I am. I really love “stop list” - see photo with stop 7/12, where you can see, when at at which SoC you will arrive at the next stops. This makes the decision easy, where to charge or which planned charger can be skipped. There is one point, which could be a major improvement to that stop list: When you click “search” or “next charger”, ABRP will only search where you are right now. When you have chosen i.e. stop 7 like in the photo and then click search, of course you wish informations near point seven - and not where you are now. I bet most users did not see the capability of this “stop list” and … at the moment only at your present location … … you’ll receive a superb designed list with multiple chargers with a list of the chosen facilities near (restaurant, cafe, toilet…) with distance… . Perfection would be a link to the facility (opened?) and a search which searches near the above chosen stop list. Please imagine, you are in a place, where you could charge now, but the SoC would allow you go further to the next proposed charger on the stop list. Ok - but then comes the question: ist there a café/restaurant/toilet…? Only then, you preceed there. Please improve this to perfection!

Too much on screen
I haven’t really used the app a lot, but I find I have to switch between ABRP and Waze often to get the best info for my long distance trips while driving. The screen is very busy & if I’m in an area with lots of chargers that info dominates the screen. As a solo traveler, I find I can’t use the screen in my car for some things & need to use my phone instead. That’s not good if I don’t have anywhere to stop. I’m sure part is that I’m a newish user, but it’s not particularly intuitive to use.

Mostly meets expectations
Compared to the navigator app in my Tesla model S I find this cumbersome and stilted to use. Given the complexity of what the app can do, It is mostly there. Thanks for your work.

Excellent trip planner, disappointing navigation
I recently used ABRP to drive from Copenhagen, Denmark to Leipzig, Germany. I really like the trip planning functionality, especially the way ABRP handles route planning and charging stops. However, I found the actual navigation to be quite disappointing. We tried using ABRP for the entire drive, but fairly quickly decided to switch to Apple Maps for navigation. The biggest issue for us was highway lane guidance. Apple Maps does a very good job of telling you exactly which lane you should be in when approaching exits, junctions, lane splits, etc. ABRP often tells you where you need to go, but does not give sufficiently clear guidance about which lane you should be in to get there. This becomes especially frustrating on large European motorways with several lanes and complicated interchanges. Knowing that you need to take an exit is useful, but knowing that you need to move into the second lane from the left, for example, several hundred metres before the exit is much more useful when actually driving. I think ABRP has an excellent foundation for being an all in one EV navigation app. The route and charging planning are excellent, but the navigation currently isn't good enough for me to rely on it while driving. I'd really like to see much more detailed and reliable highway lane guidance, similar to what Apple Maps provides. If the navigation could reach the same level as the trip planning, ABRP would be a much more compelling all in one solution for long EV trips.

Improvement points
App sometimes has an issue with adding stops to a route, then you cannot search any destinations at all. When pushing the button “look for an alternative chargepoint”, the app won’t always suggest a charger further down the line of your route. But keep the chargepoint you already are designated to. If you pass the chargepoint hoping that it will select a new charger, it will ask you to turn around and go back. Could also be a good idea to be able to request the amount of chargers available when searching for chargepoints. Sometimes a fastcharger with only to chargepoints are constantly busy. So I prefer the ones with min. 8 chargers available. Had a suggestion to a new chargepoint yesterday, saying to I would save some time. But the chargepoint was far away from my route and ended up not saving time at all. Live SOC are sometimes way off if you add an extra stop!

Not just Cons, there are many pros...
Let me list my experiences with the latest desktop / app version (IOS): I am a ABRP Premium user since - I guess 2020. Some years before, I already used it without subscription with another account as I am driving electric cars since 2014. So - I would say, I am a quite experienced user with ABRP in connection only with IOS / iPhones. From 2020 to 2025, we had a Tesla with a quite good navigation and did not use ABRP very often, only for holidays or larger trips. Since end of 2025, I have a smart #5 with a navigation, which has quite some „room for improvements“, which brought me back to ABRP on CarPlay. Since this summer, I am driving a Zero motorcycle and switches from my premium motorcycle navigation „Calimoto“ also to ABRP. As ABRP ist not a genuine motorcycle app, I have to rebuild many routes with dozens of way points to suit it to motorcycles demands, but at least it shows live SoC and live SoC at arrival of any waypoint. By background is electrical engineer with many years of experience in management of software projects. Please allow me to give you some constructive input and ideas of how to make things even better… . Praise: a) Dynamic, automatic Re-Routing: When deviating from the planned route, I have never seen such a perfect re-routing, quick and reliable! b) When I drive past a waypoint and did not really reach it, most system insist on navigating to this waypoint. ABRP skips it in a perfect way. Usually no need for manual deletion! c) SoC-indication along the route on every waypoint - perfect!

Contrast of map data
Many navigation systems have the same problem as ABRP has: The route itself is displayed in a good contrast, fat and blue, but if you a seeking some details in the map like other small roads (outside of a forest, these a shown in light grey over light green background and bigger roads white (at least with a tiny light grey contrast line) over a light green background… . Ever tried to use this in sunny conditions with a reflecting screen - no way? So - in my opinion, you are on the right path, but the contrasts of the different colours should be stronger. Ii know, t looks a bit „over-contrasted“ then, but it is by far better readable in sunlight.

Drag&Drop-Bug (MacOS Safari)
When I have a long list of waypoints (40+), and I want to move one of the first waypoints to the end, and I drag it down to end of the list, and the list scrolls down, then the waypoint gets lost on the way and will not be dropped at the end of the list.

Plan gets deleted too fast...
When clicking the back arrow in a planned route, the whole route is being deleted completely without asking. This often happens unintended. Maybe better with a conformation to really delete the route. Or may be with the “last” back arrow in another place, colour… . Often had that and lost a detailed planned route with 20+ points…!

Proposed chargers far away in opposite direction.
When I start a route with a low SoC, I often had the proposal to charge at a point which was quite far away in the opposite direction instead of selecting one of many available chargers which was much nearer and more or less along the route. Very strange behaviour….

Link to Google Maps
When choosing a charger / waypoint, it would often be helpful, to show this item in Google Maps (bar, coffee, restaurant/supermarket near?) as ABRP only gives hints, but no details. Often Google maps helps with Street view, useful.

Again ETA or SOC - in another place?
During navigation, I can see three values in the white info window as info for the next waypoint. Also here the ETA is shown. Expected SoC at arrival at the next waypoint is much more inportant for an el. vehicle, but only available when swiping up. Why? ETA with a navi for electric vehicles is not mainly important. SoC is much more important!
