[EN] MyRoute-app Routeplanner Next (Beta)

[Tom Grzelinski]

I am happy to support a small Dutch company doing amazing things and making my adventures a joy to plan and execute. I'm just off to sign up now...

Well I would, but the site is not allowing me to create an account – no matter what I do it says "Please check the form and try again". And I can't log in with my current account details - says "That email and password don’t match", even though I am happily logged in to MRA Routeplanner and forums in separate tabs.

It's great to see the app being refreshed.

But the pricing and communications are really very confusing -- as so many posters here have said. I've read and re-read the beta website, and all the posts, and still don't actually know what I will pay as a Lifetime Gold wanting all new features. And like others I tried to respond to the call-to-action by clicking on the beta button only to find my login rejected; elsewhere I see it isn't even open until next month.

This is why you need beta testing. To put things in front of real-world users and see whether your assumptions are the same as the users'. To find out what seems very straightforward sitting within the company, but completely confusing to your users.

And it is why it's unusual to ask those very users to pay to participate in the beta. We pay, we provide critique and feedback, the company gets the benefit of our work.

I'm happy to support MRA because I believe in the product and in a roundabout way we may all benefit. But this whole pay-for-beta thing is quite odd.

I’m happy to see the route planner evolving. I’d like to ask Corjan to clear up a doubt for me: if I participate in the RoutePlanner Next beta and create new routes with it, will I be able to navigate them using the MRA Navigation Next app I currently have?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Anonymouse You pay for lifetime features and early access.
We did the exact same thing for Navigation Next and that was a massive success

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Emanuele-5 We are working on that!
Yes, the app will be able to sync with the beta environment when that beta becomes accessible.

Hello MRA Team,

I feel cheated as a user of "MRA Routenplaner Gold" in Lifetime as a user. I don't understand the announcements either, why I once paid for Lifetime to find out that "MRA Route Planner Gold" is now probably at the end of the development and the "New Name = MEA Route Planner Next" of the update to Web 2.0 or even before was now asked for money what I want to avoid with the Lifetime Account "MRA Route Planner Gold".

The "MRA Route Planner Next" is an update for me and included in the MRA Route Planner Gold Lifetime license, so it was also with the "MRA Navigation" on MRA Navigation Next" in Lifetime.

I ask for clarification of the content on the web site and the procedure with regard to the purchased lifetime licenses ..

• MRA Route Planner Gold 12.08.2021 incl. further updates...

• MRA Navigation 26.11.2021 incl. later update to MRA Navigation Next

Best regards

Hubert Thoring

Hallo MRA Team,

ich fühle mich als User von „MRA Routenplaner Gold“ in Lifetime als User getäuscht. Ich verstehe die Ankündigungen so auch nicht, warum habe ich mal für Lifetime bezahlt um jetzt zu erfahren das „MRA Routenplaner Gold“ jetzt wohl am Ende der Entwicklung ist und der „Neue Name = MRA Routenplaner Next“ des Update auf Web 2.0 oder wies auch immer schon mal angekündigt war jetzt nach Geld verlangt was ich mit dem Lifetime Konto „MRA Routenplaner Gold“ vermeiden will.

Der „MRA Routenplaner Next“ ist für mich ein Update und in der MRA Routenplaner Gold Lifetime Lizenz enthalten, so war es auch bei der „MRA Navigation“ auf MRA Navigation Next“ im Lifetime.

Ich bitte um Klarstellung der Inhalte auf der Web Seite und der Vorgehensweise mit Blick auf die gekauften Lifetime Lizenzen ..

• MRA Routenplaner Gold 12.08.2021 inkl. weiterer Updates…

• MRA Navigation 26.11.2021 inkl. Späterem Update auf MRA Navigation Next

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Hubert Thoring

If I understand things correctly, when I bought Gold Lifetime for MRA Routeplanner a few years ago, what I was actually purchasing was lifetime point-in-time functionality as it exactly existed then. I'm not sure it was presented as such, but I'll go with buying the new functionality if it makes sense. A company needs on-going revenue to remain viable, and serious enhancements require money.

I would still like to know what the AI piece is going to cost beyond the $50 for Next. I doubt it's going to break the bank, but I think it's fair to ask what the price for the entire package will be. Or at least understand if AI can be purchased without also buying Routeplanner Next.

[Corjan Meijerink]

Oh yes definitely! That’s possible.
Just another subscription when the new website (MRA Routeplanner Next) becomes available.
And as said, that becomes available to all Regardless of your subscription and if you purchase something now.
