Roady

pretty disappointed with this app, all hype but no idea what they are doing, wouldn't bother downloading

Only shows well known spots for free. If you want to explore and find new areas, it is locked behind the subscription. How about making an app that makes me want to spend money on it, not trying to force people to spend money before they can even experience the app. Waste of time.

great app for when you go to an area it shows you what there is

As someone who wants to go do more but didn't know where to go, this app is awesome! has everything I need, from cost to distance to sneaky pics of what I can look forward to. It makes me excited knowing there are so many places around that, if I did not have the app, I would never have known about (moved from the Waikato to Canterbury). I thoroughly enjoy this app and I recommend it to many others.

We lived in New Zealand for a year and paid for Roady to use it to find new places to explore and viewpoints to lookout from. It was so extremely useful to have community submitted reviews of trails, and hidden gems that were lesser known than the usual tourist hotspots. Now that we have left, I have all the points that I ticked off saved as a beautiful memory of our time there and have also recommended the app to folks visiting NZ/AU.

Fantastic app. easy to use. has opened me up to areas and sites I never would have known about. get the app now and start making your travel lists!

love discovering places that have always been there but not well known. This guides my adventures!

Absolutely love this app.

Best app for a fresh Kiwi living in Aus to get out there and explore

Unfortunately lame app. Where it could have enabled adventure it tried to shoehorn you into their professional networks and generic routes, adding literally zero value. Definitely not as fun as the marketing portrayed. The time spent fumbling through their WhatsApp message services was better used just building and itinerary with Gemini, which had much better bespoke suggestions, without the delays. This app was a waste of time and money.

genius top stuff the work of modern brains a walk hike app making waves

looks good so far but I cant quite validate the cost as there isn't much around me.

App is simple and easy to navigate. It gives you a brief overview of the activity and tips, but that's it, you still need to do your research if you want more info about the trail. Photos and tips from other users are helpful though.

Terrible experience. App states it works with my very current Android device but cycles through verification endlessly. No advice on how to request assistance in the Google Play store. No contact details other than a basic Web Form. NZD24.99 paid up front. Now I need to go through Google Play Store refund claim process. Looks like this app is just another scam...

get app....have used it alot

I've used this almost since the very beginning, and to now see you have to pay to check off locations is pretty disappointing

This could be an amazing app, if it was up to date and wasn't missing over half the waterfalls/ walks/hot spots/ nature and its activities in New Zealand. Paid a yearly sub just to see half of what's advertised. I've made multiple contributions to try and add known things, ones been accepted others have been there for months ingored. The lists are great, but you can't manually add anything if it's not showing on the app, so there's no point in using it! Great for photos, etc but so much missin

awesome app accurate and informative

Absolutely love it! So easy to use! Love that you can see other people's experiences, photos, tips and tricks. Soooo good! Found so many new spots I want to explore?

Cool app, really helpful for finding things to do for those more adventurous.

I've been a champion of Roady since some of its earliest releases and have recommended it to many people as a great way to explore our own backyard. However, recently, the experience of the app has diminished somewhat. Notably, many previously free locations have become paid content for new users. I'm not against monetization - however, this feels like a very lackluster way to provide value. Performance and general stability also need some attention, e.g., screen transitions stutter

It's a must-have app if you're travelling to New Zealand. Easy to use, great information about the best places to visit.

90% of the features require paying, good idea, poor greedy execution

Great tips and photos, shows a huge range of tracks I didn't even know about. Easy to use

find places I did not know of.

mostly a heart healthy climb from Lake Matheson with final km being downhill. track is rough gravel so appropriate footwear recommended.

It looksamazing but there is a few. No thanks

Cool idea, spent a bit of time adding places to my list for my holiday. Said it was added but go into folder i made but nothing there!

Chinqma l ohxx

App doesn't work

Great app to showcase adventures.

Locked down scam.

Thank you so much for reaching out to me and thank you again for providing me with a lifetime membership, you guys have been so kind to me and generous I can't say thank you enough. 😊 This is one of the best apps to discover New Zealand and its beautiful spots for someone like me who was not born here but has called this place a forever home.

Instantly uninstalled when it decided to lock majority of the locations due to me not wanting to pay money for an app I don't know the value off, at least offer a trial or something so I can isee if it's gonna be worth it 🤦

you have to pay a subscription fee for this app, no thanks

Seems to be no way to make a route and have it just show what you like along route. Without paying money up front for something that seems pretty incomplete I'm not going to continue. Deleting.

It's a good app definitely missing some mean places. Has a few dumb features, it's abit upsetting how you can't unlock certain locations.

The monetization of this app is crazy. I suggest going to the Information Centre and getting a free guide or booklet.

Un-installed minutes after installing. Great idea, but there are no special locations beyond what a 30-second google map search could find. It is very odd that well-known spots, some are even on state highways (lake waihola), are locked as a destination spot that you have to pay to view?! Seems like a money grab to me :(

beautiful point and lighthouse

Roady is phenomenal! It provides you with 100's of great locations, many that weren't in any guide book that we originally came to New Zealand with. I spend hours on this app, it's very easy to use and a great tool for planning ahead. Highly recommend Roady for anybody visiting New Zealand or western Australia for any period of time.

Nope! Terrible app! Amazing idea 💯 but it's missing so many great places in NZ, really disappointed about this.

Found this via Instagram, thought it looked cool. Was free to download and didn't say anything about in app purchases, but once you make an account you find out that there is a monthly subscription that you need to pay to be able to use the app. Don't waste your time here, your better off just looking at your map and exploring on your own.

Sounds initially good then forces you to pay and subscribe and wants to send marketing rubbish to the email.

Absolutely love this app. Has helped me find so many cool spots I wouldn't have seen otherwise.

Slow and not responding

Editing my review as Roadyz immediately fixed their issue from July. I love the app. Easy to use. Easy to understand. Very comprehensive Waiting for them to add more stuff for smaller towns like Napier as the app continues to grow. Love it . Good job

Didn't see any of the spots I expected to see, super sparse map. Hopefully more places are going to be added?

Followed on Instagram thought I would give the app a go. Downloaded app, created an account, once singed in well what do you know you gotta pay a monthly subscription to make use of app. Don't even bother.....

used to be a good app, now everythng is locked without supscription, could of monitized it another way but without paying its pretty much useless now. removing off phone as we speak.

Unfortunately like most apps and business models it appears everything is now locked behind a monthly pay wall subscription. Still easy enough to Google search these locations, but it was much more convenient having all that information in one place for free. Great app otherwise, would rate 5 stars if it were free.

cool app, it annoys me that you have to upload an image to tick off a location for yourself...

Roady has exceeded my expectations. It's full of fun and interesting activities that I wouldn't have found on my own. The app is easy to use and is reliable. Five stars all the way!

Roady has completely transformed my weekends! The detailed descriptions and user reviews help a lot. Highly recommend this app to anyone looking to explore more of what NZ has to offer.

Great App with lots to tick off. It would be great to be able to upload photos of areas that aren't listed

well worth it if you are going on any kind of road trip!

great to use to explore hidden gems in New Zealand

Amazing app to get inspiration from to enjoy the outdoors!

What a weird app . Couldn't find anything I wanted just what they promote. Why does this exist

Tried to sign up. Sent a verification code but then wouldn't accept the code. Then tried to resend a code and it wouldn't. Then I tried to restart it, it said user name is taken. So tried to just login but said password and unsername wrong. Not user friendly

Love the app! Finding the best things to do in New Zealand can be tricky when looking at different websites. This app is all-in-one and makes everything super easy!

Downloaded it but it won't let me create an account, disappointing...

I love the idea of this app and I have been using it for a while now. When it works I love it but unfortunately, it just takes forever to load and crashes frequently which makes it so frustrating to use. Please upgrade the app 🙏

No information on any areas of the US.

Crashes too often

Seems like such a great idea. But search didn't work at all. Points of interest near me came back with no results (I'm in Auckland) and, although I could access the map, I cannot select anything. I'm really not sure what the point of this app is. Development team: please reminder all my info from your database as I am unfortunately deleting this app.

Awesome App...love the gamification and incredible content Roady team!

Crashes. Running on Android 11.

Crashes, using android 11

Couldn't ask for a better app to help discover Aotearoa with!

Makes trip planning a breeze

Great app. Showcasing Aotearoa hidden gems and mind blowing spots. A must have to experience Aotearoa (New Zealand) at its greatest 🙌🏽

An excellent App that offers experiences for the young and young at heart. Free and pay optional activities. Such a great app as we are planning our stay in July from Australia to Queenstown and surrounds. Thank you this was needed in the market 🙌

Great way to plan your own road trip, easy to navigate with a lot of information

Best roadtrip app I've used!

Exciting

Go Rossco good luck with this looks awesome

This is by far the best travel app for nz! And they only just launched. So many hidden gems in here

This app is awesome & so easy to navigate
