Latest reviews of Roadbook app for iPhone and iPad

Could use an update
Cool Roadbook app. Waypoint mode works very good. Big buttons let you step through the waypoint. App is missing an edit function to change the order of, add or delete waypoints. Also missing would be an edit function to change things like name and description for the waypoints. Map mode follows when driving, but you cant scroll the map as you are used to. Bad implementation. But as I am using this as a waypoint app, its actually my favourite. I also use Motion X GPS, but this one is easier to read and operate when on a motorcycle.
Does not work
Always lost my position. And symbols where wrong. Useless and waste of money.
