Home-care Route Planner

Current limits and how the app works
How many destinations can I calculate?
Route calculation currently supports 10 destinations on both Free and Pro. The Pro input screen allows 30, but calculations with 11 or more do not complete. Bulk parsing limits of 20/100 lines are separate from the calculation limit.
Is data sent outside my device?
History, notes and photos are stored on your device. Place searches and route calculations send addresses, place information and coordinates to our server, which sends the necessary data to map services. Opening an external map or calendar also passes the selected places or schedule to that service.
How do Pro purchases and trials work?
Purchase Pro inside the iOS or Android app; Web purchases are unavailable. Check the purchase screen for regional prices and eligibility for the 7-day free trial. Cloud sync and team management are not currently provided.
Is the shortest route guaranteed?
Calculate a suggested order using travel times. Set departure and stop durations or fix positions in the order. The shortest route is not guaranteed. Target arrival times trigger late warnings; they do not automatically constrain the route.
