Question 1

Is Road Trip free?

Accepted Answer

Road Trip offers a free tier with limited stories per trip. Premium plans ($4.99/mo, $34.99/yr, or $99.99 lifetime) unlock unlimited AI narration, Spooky Mode, Spotify integration, custom crew members, and offline caching.

Question 2

When does the app launch?

Accepted Answer

We are building in public right now. Join the waitlist to get early access before anyone else and help shape what we build next.

Question 3

Does it work offline?

Accepted Answer

Premium members can cache stories for offline playback. The app pre-fetches narratives for your route so you stay entertained even in dead zones.

Question 4

Does it work for short commutes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. A 30-minute drive generates 8-15 points of interest. The crew adapts with shorter stories and punchier jokes. After a few commutes they start building callbacks to previous drives.

Question 5

Does it replace my navigation app?

Accepted Answer

No. Keep using Waze, Google Maps, Apple Maps, whatever you love. Road Trip is the personality layer on top. Your nav handles the route. The raccoons handle the stories.

Question 6

Is it safe to use while driving?

Accepted Answer

Road Trip is hands-free. Audio plays automatically as you pass points of interest. It is an entertainment companion, not a navigation app. Always use a proper GPS for directions.

Question 7

What platforms will it be on?

Accepted Answer

iOS and Android. We are starting with mobile and will expand from there.

Question 8

Is it safe for kids?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Family Mode locks the app to kid-friendly content with no scares, just curiosity and laughter. It is PIN-protected so little hands cannot switch it off. All AI narratives pass through content guardrails before playback.

Question 9

Can I create my own characters?

Accepted Answer

Coming soon! We are building a platform where you can ride with custom crew members, historical figures, comedy duos, and more. Each tier-locked so family trips stay family-safe. The raccoon trio is just the beginning.
