The MILEPOST for Android
Stay with the book, the app is useless on the road ! Internet connection is required
This is a terrible excuse for an Android app. The search function is seriously flawed. The pages load extremely slowly. Using the hardback edition of The Milepost is much easier to use and infinitely faster. Btw, I'm using The Milepost on a Samsung Note 10.1 2014.
This app is just a digital copy of the milepost book. There are several functions which don't work and there are several which lock up the app. As was said below it also requires a network connection which is useless on the road. It needs to be reformatted for small devices, and it needs to download everything needed to operate so it can be used offline. For now I deleted it as not worth the effort.
Great book. App doesnt wont on road and is hit and miss. Buy the book AFTER picking up your RV or car as one may be paid forward by another renter. Great guide but milepoints arent marked and only trulybworks one direction. Filled with ads and paid content. Dont assume a big ad is a good place. Check reviews is my tip.
You'll need to haul the big book around. This doesn't work without a connection! I'm in Alaska, I tell you true. Worse than useless, actually dangerous if you counted on it as a travel tool. Boo! Shame!
I read the reviews but still took a chance with this "free app". It's true that this app is just a link to buy the digital version of the book. I paid my $20 then downloaded the pdf file to my Nexus 10. Opening the pdf takes about 30 seconds on the Nexus but I'm used to the delay now. I can't find a way to bookmark pages even though there is an icon to go to bookmarks. The page search function is off by 6 pages because there are 6 unnumbered pages at the beginning of the book. I put the pdf on my Google drive then set it to always be available locally so now I don't need a network connection. The electronic version of The MilePost is fabulous for me because I'm planning a motorcycle trip to Alaska and there is no way I'll have room to carry that huge book!
This app is pointless, does not work.

Requires an active data connection, which is completely useless on the Alaska highway!
Downloaded and installed but all I can get it to do is want me to purchase. I wanted to preview as the description states. I sure can't find any preview ability, therefore it was uninstalled a few minutes after installing.
Like so many others, the trial version didn't work on my phone. It took me to a login screen that required username and password with an option to purchase the software. I am going to remove the trial version. I don't think I will risk purchasing the full version.
Love it, everything & every place you need is in the milestone.
App freezes and stops. I want my $19.99 refunded. Asus Transformer, Android 4.0.3
Continuously freezes and I have never been able to use it once. What a waste of 20 dollars. Samsung Galaxy Note
The mobile app and ptinted book are a necessity for any traveler in the pacific northwest. We've relied on both countless times to be a our guide.
As others wrote, always crashes within seconds. Don't risk loosing your $20. I've never had another app anywhere near this bad -- even free apps. 3 thumbs down.
Version 2.2.3 does not load or display at all on an Acer A500.
The app is free but then directs you to website for the 20 dollar fee. This should be listed upfront.
Won't even let me open it. Samsung infuse

So we bought the book and followed the inside cover to get the digital copy, which is what we really wanted, but it won't work. Have called and sent emails with NO RESPONSE!!! Won't be spending money on this again! So they answered today. I'm in but the app doesn't work! Just keeps closing!!! Smh
