And what kind? They control all app installs. AllStays Pro is made for computers first but it does work on phones and tablets. Especially well with GPS. Just sign in. Location, navigation, weather, everything works fine on mobiles too. Apps are great for on the go but there is simply more depth and freedom in what a website can do. AllStays Pro is browser based. You can login from anywhere you like. It is tested and will function on mobile devices. With all the hazardous and remote points in here, you have to make your own decisions.
We can't route you and stay in business. Offline usage is tough and not to be relied upon. It requires using your browser cache and some effort to load information ahead of time and leave it in a browser tab so it can work without service. As the owner of AllStays, I have my own email right on the main page after logging in. I am here to help. Pro was built after years of my own frustrations on the road with other products. We are also here by general email below.
I reply promptly nearly every day of the year unless I am in some real remote place without internet for a day or two. It has saved us money and come in handy for planning our next destination. There are a handful of apps we cannot live without and Allstays Camp and RV app is one of them. Right now the Allstays app is only available for iPhones, the Android version was removed in An alternative to the mobile app is Allstays Pro , a desktop version with even more information. When you launch the app, it will use location services to determine where you are to display the services in that area.
We prefer the standard map view. To see additional information, tap on the white banner. In this example, you can see the gas station has a free dumps station. Additional information include phone number, website, images, reviews, rating, weather, map. User submitted information is displayed below the address and GPS coordinates. When we come across outdated information, we send an update to help keep the information relevant and accurate for everyone using the app.
The six main categories can be filtered by tapping the options you want to see on the map. We use this feature the most when we are looking for specific services in an area. From the filter screen, tap on the advanced filters option to drill down even more. This is where you can search specifically for free campgrounds. There is even an option to filter for campgrounds that have age restrictions.
To get around the issue we view the map area we are traveling to ahead of time and at the level of zoom that we want. This will load the map into the memory of the iPhone.
When we view it again offline the information displays without an issue. Some Camping World locations also have free RV dumps, make sure to call ahead to verify. Be sure to check the rest area for restrictions on overnight parking. We wrote a post about overnight parking at rest areas. This version works on phones and tablets, just login using the browser on your device. Check out our Essential Apps for RVing. Can I use the AllStays mobile app and website with one account? The Allstays app for iOS devices is a separate purchase and login from Allstays Pro which is the desktop version that is also accessible on your mobile and tablet devices.
Also, the Allstays app is a one time purchase through the app store where Allstays Pro is an annual subscription service. Is this true? You can contact their customer support and ask. Just purchased this app. Ask yourself how many books and maps you have bought and how much they cost? How much is a RV Park in a big guide and how much is a boondocking spot that a user parked at last week? It might seem expensive for a app but considering it is being update every couple of months and you are not paying again, it is a decent deal.
We also work 18 hours a day, 7 days a week on this app and it's data. And right in the United States of America. We also get localized Canada data help from some living in Canada. We love it but we need to eat and support ourselves as well. We don't take money from companies to alter the listings. We don't push ads on you, track you or sell your personal data like most free apps do and even many paids ones.
There are other camping apps out there and some that are even free. I can only say, go ahead and try them. Then come back and use Camp and RV. Some of the other apps have been updated only once in a year.
I constantly work on the app myself and compile the work for regular updates. If you bought this app last year or even the year before, you paid one small fee and on your second or third year of use while some people bought multiple editions of books each year. You are ahead if you find one cheap overnight parking option here. I list almost three times 3X more places and related places than any other app.
Other apps may throw out a high number of campgrounds and have a bunch that don't even exist anymore. I have worked on this data here at AllStays for thirteen years. It is a full time job. It is not outsourced like I know some others do. It is not restricted by corporate deals.
Ever notice how some camping guides are always leaving some big segment out of their data? This app is not restricted by clubs or certain requirements.
It is not restricted to just private or public places. I provide information and you make the decision. Q: My display won't show any points on the map First thing to check is your zoom level and see if you are too far out.
Then check your "Filters". Sometimes people leave them on for a search and then come back later and don't see anything else. I have done that myself. Although the app should still work without location turned on, I have noticed once in a very great while that Maps doesn't seem to cooperate and shows a clean map. So far, this has turned out to be a iOS device setting.
You should see a list of apps with each one having it's own location control. Finally, the most thorough option is to delete the app, restart the device as in power off and back on again and redownload select buy but Apple knows you bought it so they will say it's free and install the app. Q: Please add ways to keep custom notes Another frequent request and something I keep looking at doing. The biggest negatives is that users can spend a lot of time making their own notes and then possibly lose it all with a update or just a phone change, which people with smartphone do quite often.
And when it goes wrong, maybe it's my fault, maybe it is the phone doing something totally out of my control. But no matter what goes wrong, users would blame myself and leave ratings that kill the app and make all the work worthless.
I can't do this feature until it can be done well and be reliable. I care about the long term usage of my products. Q: Why does the app lists parks that are closed or out of season?
I wish there was a realistic way of only showing places that are open at the time. But most parks vary their season each year. And many are very general and weather based. Most parks will list a season as May-Oct and adjust the actual dates accordingly.
You can use the app to narrow your options down but you still may have to call to know for sure when they are open. Some parks close when they don't have many customers. They may just decide not to answer the phone or door that night.
Q: Why do some places I know of not show in the app? First, you can always use the add a place option or the detail view of a place to submit another park that I've missed. Please do so and I will check on it. If they should be in the app, I will add them. Most often, when someone tells me a particular park is missing, I check and find out that it closed down. This happens all the time.
