Does anyone use RouteShoppers and is it worth the fee?

Not the same thing.....
Yes i pay for it. No it hasn't been very useful. BUT I only do day/ sometimes weekend routes. I like the concept though. Will be more useful to me when my kids are a little older & I have more freedom to shop.

That doesn't help with finding jobs.
To answer the question: I signed up to try it out. It is...interesting. It shows all of the shops in my area literally clumped on my map in the middle of a field on the outskirts of town. The sidebar shows the details and distance, but the map itself is essentially useless.
Okay, I bit the bullet. Wondering if there is a way to exclude the stupid parking lot $2 lead shops from the map as they clog it up and I can't see the rest.

Sounds like presto instashop Probably about as useful (little to none) where I'm at after about the 5th or 6th of the month they are old and just interfering.
I was not impressed with this app, as all I saw were low paying shops from mainly the same MSC's. No thanks. I will check it out in a few months to see if there have been any changes that would benefit me as a shopper.
The only thing for which I have found these sorts of apps worthwhile is identifying MSC's in the area where I'm shopping for which I have not registered. Too often, the jobs listed are expired or already assigned. Besides, when I create routes, I tend to have shops from multiple companies and I am convinced that I can create a path for myself at least as efficient as when such an app would provide for me.
Hard work builds character and homework is good for your soul.
I was quite impressed with the app when I saw it demo'd at the IMSC conference in Vegas.
Enter your starting point, any way points, and your destination, and it will create a driving route for you and identify shops within a set distance off the path that you'll be driving. Select any of those shops, and it will re-route your driving directions to include those shops. It is not specific to any reporting platform, so you find MSC's from Sassie, Prophet, Shopmetrics, and many independent MSC sites all represented. Currently I have more work than I can handle, but this would have fast-tracked my MS'ing career if I had it a couple years ago. Instead of checking zipcodes on dozens or hundreds of individual MSC job boards every 20-50 miles along your route, use this app to find shops all along your already established path. It would save hours for every route you plan, and help you find new MSCs and additional shops yielding far, far more than the $5 per month that the app costs.
