Question 1

Is Ready2Roam really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free tier includes the full 2M+ POI map, budget builder with 3 categories, expense tracking (10/month), live fuel prices, community submissions, and 1 trip plan with up to 5 stops. No ads, ever. No credit card required.

Question 2

What's the difference between Annual and 3-Year?

Accepted Answer

Annual is $79.99 AUD/year ($6.67/month equivalent) and auto-renews each year. The 3-Year plan is a one-time purchase of $179.99 AUD ($5.00/month equivalent) that does not auto-renew — you get 3 full years of Nomad Pro, then decide whether to continue. Best for committed travellers who want to lock in the lowest rate.

Question 3

What is the Trip Wizard?

Accepted Answer

The Trip Wizard is a guided 5-step flow for creating trips. Describe your trip in plain English and the AI builds a complete itinerary with stops, budget, and fuel estimates — or switch to manual mode and search destinations, browse 130+ preset routes, or drop pins on the map. Every step is visual with a live map.

Question 4

What data do you collect?

Accepted Answer

We collect only what is needed to run the app: account info (email, display name), trip data you create, and anonymous usage analytics. Financial data (income, savings, expenses) is stored locally with encryption and synced with end-to-end encryption. We never see, access, or sell your financial details.

Question 5

Does Ready2Roam work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ready2Roam is built offline-first. Trip data, expenses, journal entries, checklists, and saved routes all live on your device. Everything syncs when you find a connection, but nothing requires one. Nomad Pro adds downloadable offline map packs for full map functionality in remote areas.

Question 6

Which countries does Ready2Roam cover?

Accepted Answer

Ready2Roam works in 176 countries with over 2 million points of interest worldwide. Five target markets — Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, and the UK — have deep curated data including government-sourced fuel prices, campsite details, and rig-fit assessments. The rest of the world is covered by OpenStreetMap with more enhanced regions coming.

Question 7

Why don't you name specific competitors?

Accepted Answer

Our marketing pages compare features, not brands. You know which app you are comparing against. We would rather show what Ready2Roam does than spend time criticising others. Our blog articles discuss the market more specifically if that is what you are looking for.

Question 8

What does the 14-day free trial include?

Accepted Answer

Everything. The trial gives you full Nomad Pro access — Trip Wizard, AI Copilot with all 17 write-back actions, Trip Story, journal, checklists, offline maps, unlimited trips and stops, receipt OCR, voice commands, and every other Pro feature. No credit card required. After 14 days you drop to the Free tier and keep all your data.

Question 9

What happens if I cancel Nomad Pro?

Accepted Answer

Your account drops to the Free tier. You keep all your data — trips, expenses, journal entries, everything. Pro features like the AI Copilot, Trip Story, and full journal become view-only or show a preview. You can re-subscribe any time to unlock them again.

Question 10

How does the AI Copilot work?

Accepted Answer

The AI Copilot understands your entire trip context — rig dimensions, budget, route, and stops. Ask it anything: fuel budgets, campsite recommendations, budget analysis. In V1.1.06 it has 17 write-back actions — it can create journal entries, generate checklists, add or remove stops, adjust budgets, look up vehicle specs, and more. Every action is confirmed with a single tap. Works with Siri and Google Assistant for voice-first planning.

Question 11

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your trip data, financial information, and journal entries belong to you. Cloud sync is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest. We do not sell data, show ads, or share information with third parties. Community submissions are linked to your account ID for moderation — your name and email are never visible to other users.

Question 12

Which devices are supported?

Accepted Answer

Ready2Roam runs on iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android. It is optimised for phones but works on tablets. Home screen widgets are available on both platforms. Voice commands work via Siri Shortcuts (iOS) and Google Assistant (Android).

Question 13

Where does the campsite data come from?

Accepted Answer

Multiple sources: government databases (RIDB for US federal campgrounds, state park APIs), open data projects (OpenStreetMap, Overpass API), curated editorial research, and community contributions. Every POI listing shows its data source so you know where the information came from.

Question 14

How can Ready2Roam have all these features when it's newer?

Accepted Answer

Most camping apps started as campsite finders and never expanded beyond that. Ready2Roam was designed from scratch as a complete trip lifecycle platform — planning, budgeting, travelling, journalling, sharing, and archiving. Financial intelligence and AI were built into the foundation, not bolted on after launch.

Question 15

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Download from the App Store or Google Play, create a free account, and set up your vehicle profile. The Trip Wizard walks you through creating your first trip in 5 steps — describe your trip in a sentence and the AI builds it, or plan manually with search and preset routes.

Question 16

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Subscription billing is managed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Store). Refund requests go through them directly. The 14-day free trial lets you experience everything before any charge.

Question 17

What is Trip Story?

Accepted Answer

Trip Story renders your completed journey as a cinematic 3D map animation. The camera follows your route from stop to stop, showing journal entries, daily spending, weather, and photos at each location. Export it as a video for YouTube, Instagram, or sharing with family.

Question 18

Can I delete my account and all data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Profile > Account Settings > Delete Account removes all cloud data permanently. Local data remains on your device until you uninstall the app. This action cannot be undone. Active subscriptions are cancelled automatically.

Question 19

How many points of interest are in the database?

Accepted Answer

Over 2 million, including 234,000+ campsites and parks. Categories include campgrounds, fuel stations, dump stations, water points, rest areas, public toilets, and more. 130+ curated preset routes span Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK, and Europe.

Question 20

Does Ready2Roam support my rig type?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ready2Roam supports caravans, motorhomes, campervans, fifth-wheelers, tow vehicle + trailer combos, and campervans. Enter your vehicle dimensions, weight, and fuel economy — or search our curated database to auto-populate specs. Free users get 1 vehicle; Nomad Pro supports up to 5.

Question 21

Can I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Profile > Account Settings > Delete Account. This removes your cloud data, signs you out, and cancels active subscriptions. Local data remains until you uninstall the app. Account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

Question 22

What is the Trip Debrief?

Accepted Answer

When your trip ends, the Trip Debrief assembles a personalised summary: photo highlights from each stop, a financial recap with total spend, daily average and budget variance by category, and a mood journey chart. The AI generates a narrative summary. Animated stats bring the numbers to life, and text-to-speech reads it aloud.

Question 23

How does the Go/No-Go verdict work?

Accepted Answer

The Go/No-Go verdict compares your trip budget against your savings, income, and home costs. It factors in your Savings Runway (how many months your money will last), baseline comparison (home vs travel costs), and Journey Health Score (0-100). The result is a clear GO, CAUTION, or NOT YET verdict so you know before you leave.

Question 24

What are maintenance reminders?

Accepted Answer

Ready2Roam generates vehicle-specific maintenance reminders. Tow vehicles get oil changes, tyre rotations, and brake inspections. Caravans get wheel bearing repacks, safety chain inspections, and fire extinguisher checks. Each tracks time and distance intervals with status badges showing what is due or overdue. Push notifications alert you when service is needed.

Question 25

What is the Trailblazer program?

Accepted Answer

Trailblazer is our community contributor program. Submit new POI, rate existing sites, and suggest corrections. Verified, approved submissions earn Bronze, Silver, and Gold status — each tier unlocks free Nomad Pro access. Quality matters: submissions are reviewed before approval.

Question 26

Can I import data from another app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ready2Roam imports GPX, KML/KMZ, CSV, and GeoJSON files. If your current app exports in any of these formats, your saved places and trip data come with you. Nomad Pro includes AI-assisted import cleanup for messy or incomplete data files.
