I was very excited this was going to be the app for me. I liked the ease of adding stops but I need to be able save routes and to be able to allow layover times at each stop. I was hoping the pro model would do this but it didnt.
Reviews for Straightaway Powered by Mapbox
← Back to Straightaway Powered by MapboxThis app really does upload the address just by a photo!Timesaver! However.....It initially optimized my route, and I loaded accordingly. Departing for route it de-optimized, and wouldnt re-optimize. I had to manually optimize my route and search for pkgs all day which cost hours. I'd love this app otherwise, but cant take the chance on another glitch that cost over an hour of time. Also a pdf download of route would be helpful since we submit these to our employer.
Almost good. The app couldn't figure out half of the addresses. It would usually settle for another adress that would be in another state. I would try to fix it, but it would say there was an error and bug out with certain adresses.
I've been using This app for a few days now and I find that it has a decent navigation system that picks up addresses better than the regular Google maps that everyday users use. However, from my experience and where it could use some improvements is on the optimization side. I find that improvements could be made on better selecting the shortest routes possible in order to save you time on your travels. In addition to that, it should run continuous as it tells you that you route is completed w
Needed to route myself to several businesses without backtracking. When it mapped it out it gave, just addreses and where they were, without the names of the businesses I was trying to find.. So if I memorized the addresses then I would know what business I was heading to...weird. not helpful if u are new to an area and want save time
This was the worst navigation experience I have had. It was difficult to use, skipped addresses that were entered, even updated the list with a new starting point the app skipped two addresses. Using the app caused me to back track a lot.
The user interface can really use some work but I would like to see if you can split up the route into sectors. Would make my route easier if I can lable them in sectors since my packages are in sector groups. Also the split change in voices is kinda irritating. It's like it can't decide between a female voice or a male voice. Also to note, one address will work and a different address but on the same street it can't seem to find?
I have been using straightaway for a month now! it's doing good job adding my stops with the snap of a picture also I noticed is taking me around heavy traffic Wich is very good it help save a lot of time but is one little thing needs to be updated is the building and residential address numbers looks like need more number added but other than that is helping me to finish my route really faster. am a fedex driver thanks to straight away am getting to go home early.
Great concept. couldn't get it to work with the free trial. it would accept my routes but when I went to optimize it kept saying I needed to upgrade. I already accepted the membership but every time you go to optimize it wants you to upgrade and won't let you because you already have 🫤 disappointed
I'd like to see the app search for local address to my location first rather than those out of state to save time and reduce error. Sometimes taking a photo of a manifest tends to fill my route with addreess out of state rather than with the local zip codes listed. I like the app and will continue to subscribe, looking forward to updates.
Would give it a decent rating, unfortunately it's not even letting me signup for the services. Yes, my phone is updated. Yes, the app is updated. The 24hr wait for a reply is ridiculous. Will be looking through the other apps to find one with full functionality. I will say if you are not interested in saving your route and only want to use it for a few stops, it's fine for that. But I'm a mail carrier, I need to save my routes.
Unfortunately this app is simply unusable. For example, the last time I tried to use the app it could not find an address I tried to input even though it is a main road. I have seen other reviewers state the same issue with other addresses. I fear that the route optimisation may well be OK but if it can't find addresses it seems to suggest a problem with the satellite navigation part of the app. Other similar apps give the option to use Google maps or Waze and therefore just work.
The one thing I dont like about this app is you cant say you are delivering in a certain town and have all your stops in that town or towns. When it scans your manifest it chooses which address that town is in not in the town as the rest of the stops. You can edit them but it takes awhile to go through each stop to make sure its the correct address.
Company seems MIA for a few years. Good product. Needs a tweak. When I add a note such as "3 boxes" that should show under address while navigating. So when I hit the check mark (deliver) I can see it clearly. Otherwise it works well, so far.
I love that it can understand my voice when I speak the addresses to load. I love taking a pic of 10 addresses and it loads them all at once. I've been having trouble with it starting my route in the middle and not at stop # 1 after optimizing. I wish there were a user manual as it sometimes loops and won't go onto the next stop. In that case I go to the map and click on the next stop. I wish I could get it to stay on the house numbers (map) as they are very clear and the best part of this app.
Straightaway works pretty good. There are little kinks that do make it annoying which costs time for a delivery driver. Taking a pic of the addresses works 80% of the time so you need to double check before starting your route. Entering addresses will show other states & countries until you keep typing more which is annoying. The pin location is correct for the most part but you might randomly get led to the wrong address and have to use Google maps.
I'm a realtor and I tried to introduce the app to a group of 30 realtors, title co and other services, but during my talk it only scanned 2 out of 4 addresses making an embarrassing moment for me. I contacted customer service but never received a reply about how to fix this app which doesn't scan all the addresses and sometimes skips addresses.
UPS Driver. The map isn't always accurate so three things that I believe would make this the complete multi drop app. 1. To be able to drop a pin on the map as a destination. Sometimes the map can't find an address and I know where it is but it won't let me manually drop a pin . 2. It's a huge annoyance that the GPS doesn't show the house number of where you are travelling to so I constantly had to double check house numbers on a different device. 3. Put messages on stops of item location etc.
I've used this app for 3 days and it had been the biggest headache! I'll put in maybe 6 addresses, optimize the list, select start and then I'm being directed to the first address entered instead of the "better routed address". Waste of time. I contact suppose, no answers. Just keep being told they'll look into it. I've had several other issues and now they just stopped replying to me. This app has a lot of potential but it also has a lot of problems. So disappointed.
It works ok. I frequently used the app for work as a courier. There is no way to update/correct the pin to an address when it's obviously incorrect which happens frequently. You can leave a comment during navigation that the directions look wrong but it never gets looked into. I got messaged by a developer because of my frequently use about suggestions several months ago and the message never even got looked at.
