GPS Navigation (Sat Nav) App Reviews

This app is very cumbersome and glitchy. It works very differently in offline mode than online mode. Be prepared for to experience much frustration in learning to use this app. This app can be useful in areas where there is limited cell service, however you must input the destination while you are in a wifi (online) mode. I mostly use my cell phone for map and navigation. I use this app on my iPad in offline mode as an overall view of my location in relation to my progress alone a trip route (because of the IPads large display). Dont waste your money and time on this app unless you have a large screen device with stand alone GPS capability. This app is kind of like a crappy and older stand alone GPS device. I will say that this app has potential but it needs a lot of work. I basically give it a thumps down in offline mode.

Offline maps for Italy work great for walking around Venice and Padua and Rome and Florence, but it is kind of a battery hog and tends to declare that youve arrived before you reach your destination.

This is a solid app that does a lot for free. Battery drain can be an issue, but a car charger is probably something most phone users already have, problem solved.

I loved this app. I downloaded the map of Italy before leaving on vacation, and the app was great, used both online and offline. Google maps couldnt find my destinations, but this program never had me lost. Also had info about speed cameras and traffic. No complaints, only praise.

Ive been very happy with it, but the most recent version has started using the location services even when I havent asked it to do directions or other tasks I would expect to need the gps for in background. It has greatly reduced my battery life and made me have to routinely end the app. After using it it is ESSENTIAL that you end the app manually to avoid a significant reduction in your devices battery life. The newest version update failed, the second update that happened with for me. The app crashed immediately after it started updating its map data. Relaunching the app left the app with no map and showing there were no updates available. A clear case of the app not having a viable data integrity check for its map system. I had to again delete the app and reinstall and download the map I had purchased.

Just downloaded and have not tried it yet. I am pretty happy with my current google maps/GPS but will give this a shot and update asap.

This app was great. However, even without having the app open, it was making my devices die within hours...even if it was just on standby. Apparently, this app took 91% of my battery life every time it was used. Had to delete off both my iPad and iPhone. Shame until it gets fixed.

Need to say freeway north or south when changing freeway.

Free and functional

Different and GREAT !!

Actually a good app, but an absolute battery killer. And that kills the app. It uses location services even when in the background and "Location" is set to "While using". You have to quit the app in order to stop battery drain. How useful is that? Non other mapping app that I know has this issue.

An offline solution is great to have, and this is one of the best. Been using this since iOS 5.

Works great as an off-grid gps app, but searching for locations to route to is so difficult. Why do you force me to fill out address, city, state separately? Why cant I just search businesses in the categories without being forced to choose a category first. Most annoying search UI ever.

Battery killer. Gave me the long way there, but very accurate. It is a great help. I can just keep it plugged in while driving.

Work pretty good. Good directions

i like the new updates.I just hope they do what there supposed do.

This doesnt work for me.

Works very well on my iPhone 6s.

The previous ap I used - Telenav GPS Plus was great, but is no longer supported on newer devices or IOS releases. Trying to get started just indicating where I wanted to go this morning was complex and time consuming even with having played with the ap a little a few days ago. Good thing I knew where I was going, because it gave me the wrong Street name for the first few directions. It then directed me onto the freeway as it should, but then didnt tell me what was next to set my expectations. Was I to drive 5 miles, 10 miles, er what? When it was time to get off, I never would have known the exit by the ap directions which were different than the freeway signs. Silence followed the exiting instructions and there were no directions what to do next. It suddenly told me to turn left which I was already prepared to do, but only because I knew where I was going. It did find my destination as I was driving past it!!! This ap is junk and into the trash bin it goes!

The app is based on OpenStreetMaps. This is great. But the offline map needs to be updated frequently to reflect the latest changes to the OSM data. Seems like the app doesnt download the most recent version of OSM data. Other shortcomings include: 1- Street Names do not support Arabic transcription. They cant be read. 2- Voice Navigation needs improvements. The voice doesnt help on lanes and which lanes to keep before reaching a turn. 3- Settings are not stable! Each time I open the app I have to reset Ml/ft to KM/m . 4- Zoom levels are too far for navigation. The zoom levels should be based on driving speeds. 5- OSM provides "max speed" data for all types of roads but the app doesnt use this data to warn drivers of over-speeding.
