About this app
Long drives with kids don't have to end in tears. SmartStops automatically finds parks, playgrounds, gas, and kid-friendly food along your route — timed so everyone stays happy. Unlike Google Maps, SmartStops doesn't optimize for speed. It optimizes for your family's sanity. Stops are spaced around how kids actually travel — so you pull over before the meltdown, not after. SMART STOP PLANNING Enter your start and destination. SmartStops builds a complete stop plan with parks, playgrounds, restaurants, gas, and coffee — spaced at kid-friendly intervals. No more guessing where to pull over. No more juggling apps. MELTDOWN MODE Kid losing it right now? Tap once. SmartStops instantly finds the nearest parks and playgrounds within minutes of your location. Emergency stops, solved. 194,000+ PARKS & PLAYGROUNDS The largest database of family-friendly parks in the US. See amenities like restrooms, picnic areas, trails, and playground equipment before you stop. COMPARE NEARBY CITIES At each stop, see what's available across nearby cities. Pick the town with the best combo of parks, food, and fuel — so every stop counts. WORKS WITH YOUR MAPS Plan in SmartStops, then navigate with Apple Maps or Google Maps. No switching apps mid-drive. PARK REVIEWS Rate and review parks you've visited. See what other families thought before you stop. Build your traveler profile as you explore. FREE TO USE 2 trips every month at no cost. Upgrade to Weekender ($4.99/14 days) or Adventurer ($39.99/year) for unlimited trips, Meltdown Mode, and route comparison. Rated 5.0 on the App Store. Built for families, not algorithms.
