    Really cool idea

    I love the idea and seems like its great quality the only thing that i wish was that it was free

    Excellent potential!

    This could easily be the only driving app I use! Its great for navigating the city but really shines when you make a route and rip it around gravel roads! The creator is also always taking feedback and is super nice! Give the app a shot, you've got nothing to lose and plenty to gain!

    Great app low cost for

    Small team very responsive, does really great work building this app to something that’s easier to use to make rally style callouts for driving. Some hiccups and bugs as it’s early on in the development but it’s worth a download to try if you go out driving often.

About Rods — Corner & Road Alerts

3,865 characters

Rods is your personal co-driver. It analyzes any road and calls out every corner before you arrive — the direction, how sharp it is, whether it tightens or opens, and the distance to the next one. It also warns you about speed bumps, chicanes, and surface changes and other road hazards along the way.

Pick a road. Drive. And hear what's coming:

Simple mode: "Medium left tightens, into easy right, 100" Advanced mode: "Left 3 tightens, into Right 5, 100."

No more guessing what's around the next bend.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Set a start and end point on any road 2. Rods analyzes every corner along the route 3. Tap Drive and hear callouts through your speakers 4. Each corner is announced before you arrive

It's the same kind of corner callouts used in professional rally — but generated automatically for any road, anywhere.

—

WHAT YOU HEAR

Every corner is described by: • Direction — left or right • Severity — Easy, Medium, or Hard in simple mode or 1 (tightest hairpin) to 6 (gentle curve) in Advanced • Shape — tightens, opens, long, very long • Sequence — "into" links consecutive corners • Distance — yards/meters to the next corner

Road hazards and features are called out too: • Speed bumps and dips • Chicanes and narrowings • Bridges and tunnels • Speed cameras • Surface changes — gravel, cobblestone, unpaved sections

Example on a mountain pass: "Right 4 long, 80. Left 2 tightens, into Right 3, 50. Caution, speed bump. Left 5."

WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE

BUILT FOR DRIVING ENTHUSIASTS

Rods isn't about getting from A to B. It's for the roads you choose to drive — the twisty ones, the scenic ones, the ones you drive twice.

Whether you're carving canyon switchbacks, exploring unfamiliar mountain roads, riding your motorcycle through the hills, or running your favorite backroad on a Sunday morning — Rods tells you what's ahead so you can drive with confidence.
