From what i understand add() just adds a 'universal' route (for get, post etc calls) and get() ads a route for $_GET requests (used with RESTFULL API for example)

add makes it available across all HTTP verbs, while get will only respond to GET requests. You'll have better security to limit each route only to the HTTP verb that it needs, so I would recommend NOT using add() personally.
