### 1/5 — Läuft nicht mehr

*2026-06-19*

Nur ein weißer Bildschirm statt einer Karte. Wird anscheinend nicht mehr gepflegt. Die entsprechende Pro-Version höchstwahrscheinlich auch nicht mehr.

### 5/5 — Прошу обратить внимание!

*2023-09-29*

Все очень нравится! Удобно и в работе и в личных целях.
Большая просьба. Некоторые наименования локаций переименовали на нецензурный лад, очень уж расстраивает происходящее

### 2/5 — Best app for mapsforge on iOS but has gesture problems

*2022-06-11*

That‘s the best app I found to use offline maps from OpenAndroMaps.org. Unfortunately, on my iPhone 13 Pro is doesn’t recognize my touch gestures well such that I can’t zoom out/in and move the map with my fingers. With this bug I can‘t use this app. Is this bug fixed in the paid version?

### 1/5 — 詐騙app不要下載！！

*2021-03-26, version 2.6.0*

身為登山嚮導，我推薦山林日誌或hikingbook。

這垃圾app主頁面上方永遠掛廣告，操作點沒幾下就跳出五秒廣告，沒有中文化功能，沒有魯地圖，基本上是個詐騙app。

### 1/5 — 廣告太多，頁眉有廣告，還有全版廣告

*2019-10-31, version 2.5.5*

下載離線地圖一次，關了三四次廣告，然後說下載錯誤，刪了。

### 1/5 — 安裝後出現亂碼iOS 13.1.2

*2019-10-14, version 2.5.5*

安裝後出現亂碼iOS 13.1.2

### 5/5 — Отличная программа для обзора растровых и векторных карт.

*2019-07-31*

Одна из немногих программ позволяющая загружать векторные и растровые Карты из локальных файлов в том числе и созданных самостоятельно известными программными продуктами (конвертерами). Для режима навигации требуется версия Cartograph 2 Maps с едино разовым платежом без подписки!!!за вполне вменяемые деньги.

### 1/5 — 專業版無法使用

*2019-07-09, version 2.2.0*

已付費購買專業版為什麼還不能使用？

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2019-07-08*

I wanted to try out this app, and I notice that, although the screenshots show contour lines, various map styles, etc, I find no way to display them. It seems that these features only belong to the "Pro version".

### 5/5 — Used Regularly for Several Years

*2018-07-31*

I use this app for navigating and tracking my hill-walks when I have no signal. I load the free OpenAndro maps which have also allowed me to follow my son’s travels in India, Australia, Nepal, Fiji, Paraguay, and Middle America. They show tracks, footpaths, roads and contours on my iPhone and iPad. I soon bought the full version......
