No better than “Greater London A-Z Map App”! ### 4/5 — Good app but needs a few improvements *2025-11-13, version 5.0.6* 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 ### 4/5 — Please copy these from Google Map *2025-04-16, version 5.0.4* No Turn by turn navigation, no Apple car play support, apart from these shortcomings a good map. ### 2/5 — Update needs to be emended *2025-04-08, version 5.0.3* Pervious app was working perfectly, did the job. You publish the app without fixing the bugs and charging full price for something that doesn’t 100% work? Please sort it out ASAP! ### 2/5 — Update killed this great app *2025-04-04, version 5.0.2* The most recent update has killed this app. Doesn’t fellows any more, alway returns to Central London if a call comes in. Please return to previous settings. ### 3/5 — Poor quality image *2025-04-02, version 5.0.1* Great app but latest update (March 2025) has significantly reduced image quality of maps. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2025-03-31, version 5.0.0* Won’t load after latest update ### 1/5 — Slow and laggy *2024-03-14, version 4.2.5* To be honest £40 per year or check out AZ Map Greater London on the App Store for £6.99 one payment lol I know where I will be saving my money I future, cabbies mate really is a scam. Also offered me a month free but just took my money, no offer actually given, just save your money and use the AZ London app. ### 5/5 — J *2024-02-22, version 4.2.5* Not working as used to asked them so many times to fix the issues didn’t get back to me ### 5/5 — Overall definitely worth a purchase *2024-02-22, version 4.2.5* Definitely worth purchasing if you’re on the knowledge or a cab driver. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps logging me out *2025-07-24, version 5.0.6* App worked perfectly before the last major update. Why mess up a good thing??? £43 a year for a poorly made app ### 1/5 — Keeps asking for background location *2025-07-02, version 5.0.6* Really useful app but keeps asking me to enable background location when i don't want it. Will update to 5 stars if this gets fixed ### 1/5 — Gone down the pan *2025-06-23, version 5.0.6* Used to be good took 32 quid off me now I can’t login nobody I can contact will use Google Maps from now on ### 1/5 — 👎🏼 *2025-05-06, version 5.0.5* Charge too much money now ### 1/5 — Update ruined ap *2025-04-09, version 5.0.4* App was brilliant until update contacted via email told there are no issues although now sending bug fixes updates ### 1/5 — Update *2025-04-09, version 5.0.4* Absolutely terrible update , so awkward to use now when it used to be so simple , jumped up in price for a useless version , not happy at all ### 1/5 — If it ain’t broke…… *2025-04-03, version 5.0.1* It’s an a-z that’s always trying to do too much. Type in a place and get a string line is all i need it for, but it keeps being changed that’s not always for the better. It should also be pay once, and thats it, but now has to be subscription which keeps going up…bit of a con just to get some new points! The latest update is full of problems too… As they say on the k, KISS…. ### 1/5 — H *2025-04-03, version 5.0.1* Every time I use cabbies mate I have to log in again using my e mail address and password This never happened on the old system ### 1/5 — Taxi driver *2025-04-03, version 5.0.1* With this update version every day it pop up to login my old version was better next year I will not subscribe again ### 1/5 — Not happy *2024-11-13, version 4.2.5* Too much money for an app that’s too slow. I never use it to search. As points are rubbish and not up to date. You’re a cabby mate. Use your knowledge for lines and google maps for anything else And save yourself some money ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good update apart from blurring on zoom *2025-04-09, version 5.0.4* Really useful app for London cabbies. Even better features added on new update but the map blurs on a particular part of the zoom ### 5/5 — Absolutely zero support *2025-02-03, version 4.2.5* I am being asked to log in. When I do, it just asks me to log in again. When you to go to the url for support, the page does not exist. No phone number or email. Yet another example a company taking from the Taxi trade. ### 5/5 — Best app for my black cab knowledge *2024-08-13, version 4.2.5* Best app for my black cab knowledge thanks ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-08-06, version 4.2.5* The best thing !!! ### 5/5 — Man *2024-08-05, version 4.2.5* Amazing I love it ### 5/5 — Best for cabbies *2024-05-06, version 4.2.5* Very useful for cabbies Really worth having this app ### 5/5 — Really good London and surrounding outskirts mapping app *2024-05-06, version 4.2.5* Reliable A-Z mapping app updated annually which gives comprehensive street mapping information of the area extending to the M25 boundary and the A-Z national road atlas is included with the subscription. ### 5/5 — Mr Abdulahi *2024-04-23, version 4.2.5* Hi I would like to see when i use the map in front of the dashboard on my car the same as the using Waze or google Map , IT shows lef,on wrong side.
