## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-03-06*

This app does not work as intended and does not force links to open in Maps, recommended try something else.

### 1/5 — Unclear description

*2025-12-28*

It should’ve been very clear that this app is ONLY an extension for Safari when using Google search engine WITHIN Safari and CANNOT be added as an extension in Chrome. Completely useless purchase!

### 4/5 — Maps link redirection works, AI removal does not

*2025-10-06*

Core functionality given.

However, the removal of Google AI in Results currently does not work.

I don‘t know if it is technically possible it would be awesome if Google “Directions” button could also redirect to Apple Maps.

### 4/5 — Does what it says

*2025-09-29*

removes all the annoying pop up’s and changes the links to apple maps links. the ai-overview shortly pops up for me before being removed.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-10-03*

This app is great! It does exactly what it claims it does and doesn’t sacrifice privacy! Awesome.

### 5/5 — Great app for all iOS users

*2025-09-30*

As Google continues to try to force you to use their apps rather than the a web experience, just getting direction via web search became a miserable experience if you don’t want to have Google Maps installed. Force maps fixes this by still allowing you to use google as your search engines, but opens directions and addresses in Apple Maps. No more pop ups from google trying to trick you into getting their app and stuck in a loop opening the App Store. No more pop ups trying to get you to change your default app. This is one of the best iOS apps you can buy for removing friction in using the web + maps.

### 5/5 — Didn’t Know I needed this!

*2025-08-14*

Thanks for making such a useful app!

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2025-08-03*

Works as intended, found on Reddit! Great job!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the support!
