  • Great App

    I have been using this app for over 10 years. It is awesome. Have used internationally and it switches between maps easily.
  • Boring interface

    Interface is so boring...
  • Great, but I wish it kept up with NZ road changes.

    Excellent app. Done tens of thousands of kms and it takes me to places I normally would never see, much quicker than the main route.

    Having just returned from a lap of the country, guided by Copilot, I’m frustrated by the developers’ inability to keep up with changes in the NZ roaring network. An example of this is how it tried to deal with the route between Picton and Christchurch, refusing to let me drive the coast road which has been open for many months now. Back when it was closed, following the Kaikoura earthquakes, it struggled to let me drive over the Lewis Pass without taking a detour over the Marina Saddle (a route which should only be attempted in a well equipped 4WD, driven by a capable and experienced operator).

    While I understand that to expect the developers to keep up with the dog’s dinner which is the NZ highway network, it irks me that their attempts to do just that have meant that I reasonably expect my primary navigation app to be dysfunctional, quake damaged in a sense, for months yet. It would be better if they just left it alone and let me calculate road closures, or do a better job of keeping up with the actual state of the road network.

    The inconvenience to someone who covers a lot of miles by this app is worth a downgrade to three stars and a lengthy description of the issue.

    Another problem is the typical mangling of Te Reo. If I choose the Australian voices, it’s so bad that it makes me want to put my phone in an offshore detention centre. If you’re a kiwi who respects cultural sensitivity, you’ll have to give Copilot a pass or set your tolerance for ignorance back to the 80’s.

  • Could be better

    First time trying Co-Pilot and I was surprised however there are bad points but starting with the positives which the navigation visuals are clear and pretty much spot on when navigating and when wanting to recalculate it is almost instant. The dislikes of this app are pretty much due to some simple features being behind a pay wall for example voice navigation... since you need to pay to get this feature it means I have less eyes on the road and more eyes on my phone which is an accident waiting to happen. Google maps and Here we go both have these features for free. The address search could do
    Some work. Unless you know the exact address then finding places on the go is difficult like looking for fuel or shops. I know there is a section for that however it only took me to the closest ones

  • Love the app, 10 months without revision?

    Hi,
    Love using the app, would really like to see a full screen update for iPhone X native screen resolutions/dimensions.
    Keep up the good work.
  • No audio 😫

    I like the complete UI, the endless features and it’s dependable navigation; that is, if I’m using it visually!! ☹️ It doesn’t suit me much nonetheless though, as I do not get any Spoken TTS when my radio is playing; only works TTS in AUX mode!! I am still hoping that my Ticket submitted in this regard is answered professionally and my issue can be resolved!! I’m I the only person experiencing this problem!! 🤨

    Review Update!!!!
    A big thanks to the CoPilot team for actually responding to my ‘review’!! I am looking forward to their next update in the hopes that my one ‘big’ issue can be resolved!!! Should this happen...I will give the best updated review in BiG Bold Letters!!! 👌🏻

  • Almost A Great GPS But Not Quite

    I’ve been testing different kinds of GPS apps available. But there’s one feature I’m looking for which is not available in the settings, the avoid toll feature. This is readily available in others so if you coud add this in the settings then it would be great. On the otherhand, the offline reliablity beats the top perforning app. So if you’re running out of data and in places where there’s barely a signal, this feature helps a lot. Moreover, the display is amazingly colorful which makes it not boring when compared to others. I’ll continue to use it and let you know if there are other problems I can find.

  • Worked great overseas without cell coverage

    My wife & I traveled to Italy recently. Before we left the States I downloaded the map of Italy and identified our key destinations and the routes between them.

    CoPilot worked perfectly our entire time in Italy. We did not need to use any cell phone coverage. CoPilot knew every little road we took & when we made a wrong turn it always led us back.

    The only time CoPilot got confused was when we were in a big city with tall buildings around & my phone lost the GPS signal. That could happen with any GPS device, however, so I don’t fault CoPilot. Once my phone caught the signal, CoPilot was right there.

    I particularly liked having the routes planned in advance. When we traveled off the beaten path, I could easily retrieve a saved destination and, bam, CoPilot would route us there. Easy-peasy.

    Since we do not speak Italian, CoPilot gave us, me in particular since I did all the driving, a lot of confidence on the road. No need to have a road map open. No stress over asking, “Is this our exit? On what street do I turn? How do you spell that? Ack!” CoPilot gave us plenty of advance notice & clear directions. Whew!

    I recommend this app.

  • Really needs updating ....

    UPDATE: I would love to submit a support ticket as requested but the URL you provide does not work. Could this be why you have issues ??

    I have been using this for about a year now. I still have issues. This program definitely needs an update/bug fix. One very annoying failure is the alternative route (found on touching the traffic bar) which does not work at all! Touching the status bar shows a supposedly intitive traffic map for the route planned and being followed - at the foot of that intuitive map is the button that says "Find alternative route" - but it does not work. One asumes the idea of the button is to be able to avoid traffic holdups, but it does nothing. Why is that Co-Pilot ?
    It always comes up with the same “Copilot cannot find an alternative route” message. It never, ever works out an alternative route.
    The status bars for traffic, next turn (even when 40 or 50 miles away) are also very intrusive on a phone display, taking up valuable map information even an Iphone 6 which is a quite large display PLEASE sort it out. Fortunately for CP the market leader by a mile dropped support for the TomTom app. Since then, nothing else comes close. The market is wide open for a shrewd App designer.
