There are many times when I’ve wanted to be able to use a second pin. ### 2/5 — Irritating *2024-09-03, version 3.0.5* Why is it that whenever I try to look for a town ie Paris or any other town ,city etc the app freezes does not search it does absolutely nothing. I’m up to date with my subscription so what is going on. This app is so irritating. Also I was trying to find an area in Andorra which came up in the search box when I pressed on it I ended up in the middle of America. This happens very often. ### 3/5 — Amazing *2023-08-18, version 3.0.5* Absolutely brilliant app! ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2023-08-12, version 3.0.5* I find the DuoMaps app extremely useful, both as a practical tool, and also for taking trips without leaving the house! I would have given it an unreserved 5 stars, if it wasn't for the fact that the results of some searches are occasionally in the middle of a field! Thankfully the object of the search is nearly always somewhere in the vicinity. ### 3/5 — Application pas à jour *2023-06-30* Des changements de sens de circulation datant de plus d’un an ne sont pas à jour. Donc application inutilisable ### 4/5 — 評価 *2023-05-21* 行ったこともないところの状況がよくわかります。ありがたいです。 ### 5/5 — Worth the subscription though sometimes it's annoying. *2023-04-05* Love this app though it does have it's problems. I have used DuoMaps (used to be called something else) since it was first created. When looking for a place or directions DuoMaps is the first app I go to.....I'd be lost without it. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and sorry to hear you're having problems with the app. The reported issue is being investigated. If you wish to discuss this in further detail please contact via the Support page. ### 5/5 — Agent Y-10 *2023-03-20, version 3.0.5* Excellent application, will accept different coordinate formats by using either Google maps or Apple maps. Will also search on postal addresses, of course. Never let me down yet. AND still works just as well with the recent version of iOS. ### 5/5 — The best map combination! *2023-02-09, version 3.0.5* I’ve been using DuoMaps since 2011. You have access to both Apple and Google maps, and Google Street view. Although recently, it has had difficulty finding UK Postcodes, it’s easy to search using verbal village, town, and city names. I like the blend of maps, search, and street view. You must get this app. It's the best! ### 5/5 — A MostlyTerrific App *2023-02-03, version 3.0.5* Very simple, very fast. Nice to be able to switch between Google and Apple maps since both have different strengths. I use it daily. As of 1/1/2023 it’s been buggy. I often can’t get a street view. ### 4/5 — Very useful. *2023-01-21, version 3.0.5* Have subscribed for a number of years and wouldn’t be without it. Have given 4 stars because there is the occasional glitch. ### 3/5 — Stops Searching *2023-01-03, version 3.0.5* This used to be a great app that I use a lot. Lately it won’t search when I type a place in the search bar. This is extremely frustrating and I’d like it fixed, given that it’s a paid app! ### 5/5 — Mapa *2023-01-02, version 3.0.5* Excelente aplicación, lástima que no tenga toda la funcionalidad que se alcanza con la aplicación en una PC. Juan Carlos ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DuoMaps *2024-09-26, version 3.0.5* Programme locks up, and sometimes freezes when you ask to find a location. Not sure if Apple updates have affected it, but not a good as it was, which is a shame. Tried reloading it from Apple Apps. No improvement Now using Google maps. ### 1/5 — App won’t find addresses *2023-03-14, version 3.0.5* I keep getting this problem. I delete the app and reinstall it and most times it works but now it won’t search at all. I pay for this app so I expect it to work. Please sort this out. I would have give 5 stars previously but today it’s just one. ### 1/5 — Stop working with last subscription payment! *2023-01-28, version 3.0.5* This has been my go to mapping app for many years so have always paid the annual subscription but not do so again! As soon as I realised it had not automatically renewed I manually undated and paid my money but having done so not everything is working in the way it had previously done. I can no longer do any searches, which was one of the main functions of the app that I used as I like to travel and like to know and see where I am going. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2023-01-05, version 3.0.5* My subscription to street view was just renewed in December. However, the app in general in addition to street view no longer works or produces search results for anything and has become useless. Will this be corrected soon? I really enjoyed this app for several years. ### 1/5 — DuoMaps review *2022-12-29, version 3.0.5* I would like to give DuoMaps a good review,but I am afraid i cannot,because the app is not working,if i type in a post code or an address the DuoMaps app doesn’t respond,there’s no way for me to fix this myself and you obviously can’t or won’t fix this problem,so maybe if you refund to me the money i paid for the app this would be the best solution ### 1/5 — No App Support *2022-12-29, version 3.0.5* Instructed to communicate with "app support" re: app sudden but persistent inability to "search"; "no URL" pops up WHEN YOU CLICK ON LINK. Cancelling subscription. It has been good for a lot of years til now. ### 1/5 — Not to good *2021-01-16, version 3.0.5* I put in a address hit search nothing happened ### 1/5 — Not worthy anymore, *2020-09-26, version 3.0.5* Its already garbage, when i search for address, its doesnt show correct location... ### 1/5 — Greedy developers and their “subscription fees” *2020-01-12, version 3.0.5* Update 1-12-20: It seems that some highly suspect reviews (hint: effusive praise with not one but three flowery adjectives in the same sentence is usually the sign of a fake review or a paid shill) are now saying that a subscription fee was beyond the developer’s control, which is flat out untrue. Many other apps somehow manage to provide street view without the necessity of a subscription model, so don’t give me the song and dance about Apple or Google forcing these changes being beyond a developer’s control. And although I know that the latest developer talking point in the shady bait-and-switch model of first charging for an app and then adding a subscription fee years down the road is to trot out the “can’t expect a lifetime of free updates” line—no. Just no. Stop with this bogus Strawman argument. Nobody is asking for free developer work. We are asking that you not change the rules of the purchase after we have already met your terms and paid in full. To continue the inane “new car” analogy: what the developer did here is akin to selling a new car at a set price, allowing the customer to pay it off in cash on the spot, and then contacting the customer a few years down the road to demand a monthly payment in perpetuity or else have the steering wheel functionality turned off. THAT is not just greed—it is both dishonest and unethical. Original review: Yet another case of greedy developers saying “Oops—we didn’t rip off our customers enough when we first released our app, so let’s quick strip basic functionality and hold it hostage for a subscription fee!” You already charged us to download the app years ago, and I have no problem with that—after all, developers deserve to be paid for their work. However, this bait-and-switch tactic after the fact (removing features we already use and have already paid for) is completely dishonest, and it is a trend that needs to stop. Charging a subscription fee for a service (street view) that we can get for free on a dozen other apps, desktop, and mobile browsers is nothing more than a shameless money grab, and you know it. Developers of a map app suddenly losing their moral “compass”? If nothing else, I guess you’ve provided us with the very definition of irony. App deleted. ### 1/5 — MA DAI ! *2019-08-05, version 3.0.5* QUESTA APPLICAZIONE LA SCARICAI CIRCA 8 ANNI FA ED ERA SENZA Restrizioni ora perché invece di passare a PRO e pagare ??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — BRILLIANT.......LOVE IT. *2026-08-19, version 3.0.5* My Number 1 app to go to.....be lost without it. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-05-29, version 3.0.5* Absolutely brilliant app! Indispensable if you travel around the country. Couldn’t be without it!! ### 5/5 — App 👍 tốt ♟️ *2025-04-08, version 3.0.5* Hay, có, nhưng chưa hoàn chỉnh ! Trong phần danh bạ, hình ảnh của nhà 🏠 > hình ảnh của người dùng, chưa thành 👑 Cần phải sớm cập nhật, để cho app được vinh danh ✅ ### 5/5 — The Easy way to travel . *2024-07-29, version 3.0.5* Yes ### 5/5 — DuoMaps *2024-02-26, version 3.0.5* Worth the money ### 5/5 — Maps *2023-11-09, version 3.0.5* Been using Duo maps for years always thought it was better then google maps it’s my go to map & great street view ### 5/5 — A TOP APP. *2023-09-26, version 3.0.5* Really is great for locating (with the pin) exactly where l’m At and showing me how to get there!. Thankyou. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-08-13, version 3.0.5* Thanks for bringing back most of the features of Google maps sadly missed since Apple introduced their pathetic map on the recent iPhone upgrade ### 5/5 — My favourite street view map *2023-06-05, version 3.0.5* I love this map. Much better than google for getting a good look at an area and much easier to manipulate. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2023-05-13, version 3.0.5* This is an app we use almost daily. Finding and seeing places in my current novel is something I love. Also, when planning an unfamiliar drive it’s good to locate a few useful landmarks. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
