Even with 3 routes, it asks for money. such a greedy developer. If you do not have free plan, mention it at reddit or other places where you made your adverts. waste of time.

This used to be a great extension, now it's not optimizing anything. Such a pity.

Didn't see any optimization, Google maps already gives you the most optimized route and this extension just shows the same.

Every time I try to use it, it takes me to the "Uh oh, could not sync accounts! Your routora account and Google account you use on chrome must be the same. Please ensure you are currently signed into chrome" screen. I assume it doesn't work because I'm on Microsoft Edge. Until it works, I will have to give it 1 star.

Doesn't work with non chrome forks like Opera, Chromium or Edge, also has problems with shared routes ("Error, Please Re-Enter Stops") AND cost a lot of money (9.99/month) for a feature, that should be included into Google maps from the beginning. The plugin author has nothing to do with the last point, but 10 bucks is a lot for the feature to begin with and then it should be bug and hassle free. That's not the case right now. Will check in a year or two again, it's not like it is here for more than a year already and all the problems could have been fixed.

Multiple technical issues. It doesn't work on Chromium, it doesn't work on Edge. I keep clicking the extension after adding all the stops, and I get «User not signed in to Chrome» when I'm clearly, 100 per cent logged in. Then, if I copy the URL with just six stops to the Routora site, it says I need a premium account to optimize, when the free version supposedly supports up to ten stops. Contradictive, disappointing and underwhelming.

Google maps is free! You are using google maps to optimize it and charging $10. I couldnt even try to get it working for free! Good luck!

Doesn't just want money for the extension, wants a recurring subscription. And it doesn't even work -- it turned my 2.2 mi / 51 minute walk into a 2.8 mi / 66 minute walk

Works from what I can tell, but only on Chrome. Should work on different Chromium browsers, like Vivaldi, but doesn't.

Used to be such a great extension. Any type of attempt to use it now pushes you to their own domain away from Google Maps, and you're incentivized to go on a paid plan. It says you can still proceed on a free plan with limited use, but it simply doesn't function anymore with the re-routing.

It sounds great, but does not work. Keeps showing error message "Error, Please Re-Enter Stops"

Was able to use the extension once about a month or two ago. On my most recent attempts clicking to optimize my 9 stop route, which should be optimized for FREE, opens two tabs on chrome ( https://www.routora.com/playground ) and does nothing on the already open tab of google.maps to optimize my route. I then attempted to use the website (because it opened it itself) and it says I need to pay even though (again) my trip is 9 stops. It seems that in an attempt to monetize you've locked users out?
