8 of 25We're all scrambling after the i06 upgrade, for a usable and factual map and this isn't it. Might be ok for droid users? Not like any App-le I've used before.
Despit somewhat erratic operation, it mosyly does what needs to be done. Then after a few days test driving, a window pops up informing me that only premium users are allowed to view traffic data. If you need traffic data on the cheap, this app isn't it.
The maps are clear and easy to use. The whole world is available in several map formats. I think it will be very helpful on my next trip to Europe so I only have to take my iPad mini instead of lots of paper maps. I hit the $ to see what it was and was given several opportunities to cancel. I wasn't charged. Although I think may go ahead and pay the $2.99 so I can try out the offline feature.
Offline maps are a great feature. Now come the "but"s. First, it's not optimized for retina on iPad 4. Tiny letters are just impossible to read. It needs to have x2 or even x4 zoom in the options or something. Second, it doesn't create routes any more (Google is set as route provider). Interfaces must have changed. This app needs upgrade!
Stinks is a nice word the real word starts with the s. it always tells me I need to chose another provider when I try to get a route. What a piece of junk. The WORST 2.99 I have ever spent and that was an accident. Do not press the $ in the corner it will charge you without asking even though the app help says it will not. Just garbage. If I could rate it a zero I would. It's worse then the new Apple maps and that is hard to do.
If I could give negative stars, I would! This app has no functionality, and charges you 2.99 every time you hit the $ button, even if you press "no"
This app should not be used. It is a rip-off. It begs for $2.99 when you hit the $ button. If you hit "No" it charges you anyway. This app should be taken off the App Store.
This is a sorry app that doesn't deserve a star. Using it is like trying to use a dinosaur. It's as intuitive as the original WIndows was or the new one is. Such apps shouldn''t be allowed.
