Team review

" Route planning and maps. "

The application has not yet detailed description, however the team assigned the note of 9 / 10. This note is based on the following criteria: Quality, Usefulness, Ease of Use, Privacy Concerns of user data (depending on the permissions required)..

The app is compatible from version 2.3 of Android. Any supperior OS version will support it.

Its weight is light enough, less than ten MB (7 MB exactly) are needed to save to their device and use it.

Its number of downloads in the Android Market (Google Play) makes it an extremely popular application and rightly so. More than a million users are using it on mobile or on touch pad.

Positive review FatFot by anonym
Runs very well on S5. Accurate and clear. Minor confusion with some search options. 4/5
Neutral review Good for recommendations by anonym
It's nice to be able to find places that are in Michelin's guides, but as there are few options and filters it isn't very friendly. There are much better satnav apps available. 3/5
Positive review Good tool for Truckers by anonym
I like that this app provides multiple routes to choose from 5/5
Negative review Poor UI by anonym
Does not know that FL turnpike is a toll road. Poor display of route, is contracted to one dot. Like most apps no waypoints. Will uninstall right now 2/5

Positive review Mr by anonym
Nice app but need to improve the quality is a bit pure graphics etc 4/5
Negative review Need much improvement by anonym
I used and found that this is not working fine for all countries...does not show any route between two cities even with pin codes entered ...so owner must improve it. And also no gps usage ...it needed another app to install...whats that??...actually pre-installed navigation is much better ...it alerts when you are driving off road or in wrong way...also provide rerouting and shortcuts.... 2/5
Neutral review Good and working but by anonym
Good application, but it appears that no traffic indication is available for Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary! When available I can easily give 7 stars out of 5 3/5

Positive review Via Michelin Route Planner by anonym
Accurate and detailed. Picked up for a trip to France and Spain on 5he recommendation of my son who now lives in Spain. The app is superb in its planning ability and saving routes to memory is flawless. Can't wait to travel with it. 5/5
Positive review by anonym
I Use it from phone and pc. Save holiday trips. Good feature is it adjusts times accordingly if you are towing a caravan. 4/5
Positive review Great! by anonym
Handy, nice looking, siple and easy to use. Works perfect, highly recommend! 5/5
Positive review Simply excellent by anonym
I'm using the app frequently and it had never let me down. Thumbs up.. 5/5
Positive review Good to find nearby restaurants by anonym
Centered on location it allows you to find nearby restaurants listed in the Michelin guide. However it does not give much information about the restaurants. Thus it does not help you with the selection, only with the way to the selected restaurant... 4/5
Neutral review Gp by anonym
Would get better score if app could use contacts straight off the device like other navigation apps allready can do 3/5
Positive review Good but consumption questionable by anonym
Nowadays most people know their car's consumption. Therefore it would be good if you could choose between car class and consumption. Example I know what fuel costs en route and to get the right costs I had to upgrade my car to the next class. Also the time given presumes completely free of traffic ... which is rarely the case. Regularly Via Michelin is off by 10% underestimating the pure driving time needed. Nonetheless I like it despite a few known misgivings 4/5
Neutral review Limited by anonym
I do a two week motorcycle trip every summer in the US. Only allows 6 waypoints. Not enough. Why is there a limit? If this was corrected, 5 stars. 3/5
Neutral review Reasonable addition to map collection by anonym
A good app if you only want 200km Max cyclerides however I want longer routes then not useful at all for cyclists like me really annoying 3/5
Negative review Really? by anonym
And when I use a valid business address, it asks if I meant some place 5 roads away and won't let me input address I want. Thanks Burger King. 1/5
Positive review Great app by anonym
Im biker and allmost every summer i going to some diferent country on holliday. This application is a very hellpfully for traveling . 5/5
Positive review Fantastic app! by anonym
Congratulations Michelin, two years ago I was traveling around France for Business and this app helped me. Currently I am traveling in Oregon, USA, and I used again this app. Thank you "Mich". 5/5
Positive review Very usefull Tool by anonym
More or less, it is possible to calculate time and money necessary to be driven from point A to point B. With some additional stuff. 5/5
Positive review Helpful app by anonym
Nice and helpful app while preparing a trip. Would be better if M suggestions don't cover the whole world, while I am just focusing on for instance France. However, that is a minor point. 4/5
Positive review Excellent by anonym
The best route planner I have found, with multiple routes to choose from. Even gives you the approximate fuel costs after imputing a few details. Very easy app to use. 5/5
Positive review Great app, the map is a bit slow by anonym
The app contains a wealth of useful data, but the map is a bit slow to update when zooming or moving. 4/5
Positive review Only the best by anonym
Trying some other "wannabe" guides came across this application and it is so much better. Better organised, better informative.... B E T T E R!!!!! 5/5
Positive review Great app by anonym
I constantly use this app. Its easy and clear and clutter free. Refuse to use any other now. 5/5
Positive review Good, but limited by anonym
Simple to use, but has some limitations. Am planning a two day journey across France. Would be useful to see journey times by stage - so we can plan an overnight stop. Also, would be useful to see its assumptions on speed etc. 4/5
Positive review Very good by anonym
This is a very good, clutter-free app. And it's a pleasant surprise NOT to use Google mapping - this app uses Bing satellite imagery (more up to date compared to Google), and Michelins own proprietary mapping. Can't understand the low rating reviews. 5/5
Neutral review It wasn't what I expected it to be by anonym
Somehow I remembered it as better when used it a couple of years ago on my pc. The map isn't as accurate as it used to be, the interface is laggy and maps are blurry. Anyways, I think three stars is alright. 3/5
