I’ve been using this app for the majority of my eighteen years as a London black cab driver and it’s an absolute godsend!! I pay for annual premium subscription with the greatest of pleasure. Thank you to the very talented developer of this app.

The speed camera alerts are fantastic feature keeping you informed and alert while driving. You can tell a lot of effort goes into keeping the app update and reliable. Highly recommended for anyone learning the knowledge of London or working as a taxi driver in London. keep up the great work!

Doesn’t work most of the time

This app doesn’t work most of the time. No better than “Greater London A-Z Map App”!

Good app but needs a few improvements

This is a great app I’ve used it for 10+ years.
If the developer reads this the improvements I would recommend would be to remove autocorrect and predictive text on the search bar and make the app start up faster

Keeps logging me out

App worked perfectly before the last major update. Why mess up a good thing??? £43 a year for a poorly made app
