Imaginary naming for the Persian Gulf
I’ve just installed HERE WeGo to test it and seen that the Persian Gulf was wrongly named as an imaginary “Arabian Gulf” one.
This is a strong signal of lack of geographic naming rigour, which is paradoxal for a a geographic app, so I am uninstalling it.

Old Satellite data
directions appear ok but the satellite view is very outdated and needs to be made current. The area I was interested in showed data at least two or three years old.
Gulf of America?
I was originally going to use HERE WeGo as a Google Maps replacement but then I saw Gulf of America. Bootlicking Fascist wannabe’s will not win my loyalty. Map Quest it is. Thank you for making my decision that much easier.
Caters to dictators
I was hoping to find a map service that didn’t cater to authoritarians. Instead, I saw that it had named the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Instantly deleted.
They follow Trump
Map would be great if they didn’t succumb to changing names of bodies of water whenever the Pedo Prez says so.
Incorrect water body names
HERE WeGo used to call the Gulf of Mexico by its proper name, but now they are bending the knee to MAGA. (Interestingly, the Android version still shows the correct name.) I’ve switched to MapQuest—yes, it’s still around, and they have maintained their standards while everyone else has caved.
Uninstalled
Looked quite good at first, but then went really weird. Uninstalled very quickly after that.
Accessed Contacts
Proved this App takes personal contact & user info when choosing a place to go to (Donyatt Hill in Somerset) then it sent a text from a company there via Message App to my brother…weird 🤔
Good but it freezes
This is good but it freezes a lot can you fix this
Not Good
This app will not work with my cay on car play either wirelessly or with cable. Head unit crashes and reboots every time i try to use it.
Map of Syria not available

Asking for more information every update
App use to ask for zero info about yourself, with every update it’s now asking for more and more information to sell. Truly disappointing
Was loving until
I was loving this app until it misdirected me to a closed street. It had been closed for a while in the app's hometown, SF. This made me doubt its trustworthiness.
Glitch
It doesn’t start first time you have to shut and open it again, if using car play this can’t be done you just get a blank screen , however when it’s working it’s really good and would of gone 5 star
ALMOST the perfect google/Apple maps alternative
The app interface is superb, clean, fast, and very intuitive. The search is logical and returns correct items most of the time. Only gripe is I only use navigation with Apple CarPlay and the CarPlay feature freezes, lags, crashes, and is often unusable even after the newest update. Please please please fix this. I WANT to use this app so badly but cannot until this is fixed.
As a side note, I LOVE the progress bar in the phone view during navigation, if you add this to the CarPlay view (after fixing the freezing/crashing issue of course) you will be way ahead of the rest!
Keep up the great work and please fix the CarPlay mode!
Update: as of July 2026 the app is far improved with Apple CarPlay but it still frequently won’t autoload in CarPlay unless you open the app on your phone and force close it! Please fix this!
Would also greatly appreciate if the view while navigating was slightly more 3D, such as when you are approaching turns.

Good overall
Worked very well once it took time to understand how to use it properly. Hard to find the north arrow at times on the map. I’m guessing I had to click online use if I was using data and offline use if I wasn’t?
Overall, it was helpful.

Good but annoying things let it down
This is a nice navigation app but its let down by certain things.
First the navigation is nice and offers multiple routes. There's options to change routes and vehicles in the settings. The voice it uses is linked to the iOS voice (Settings - Accessibility).
There's Speed limit alerts, Parking suggestions, Apple Carplay integration and Traffic details (however I do not know how accurate this is - Google Maps seems a lot more accurate!!!)
The major point for me is you can download entire countries for use offline.
This is where it lets itself down.
My phone is prepay so mobile data is off.
When using this app offline it constantly says my "connection is unstable" ?????
Really? Unstable??? Its your offline map that I am using and you have access to my location, so why "unstable"???
Its just annoying. I know I am offline - THATS THE POINT of offline maps!
I do not need annoying popups telling me!!!
The other is the "search-where to" field takes up half the screen (iPhone). You can swipe it down but again why does it need to contain all the other stuff like "My Connection" and "App Connection" etc.
On the iPad it takes up the entire left 3rd side of the screen upon launching, until you swipe it away.
Leave the search field but relegate the other to a side button.
Make the screen less cluttered.
So..Use this or Google Maps ??
Frankly Google Maps offers a bit more (Yes you can download maps offline - Its annoying as you select areas instead of countries and just don't update them!!!)

Amazing
One of the cleanest navigation apps I have ever used. It has a clean, intuitive user interface, and the alert sounds are excellent. The speed limit display and upcoming speed limit warnings are also very useful.
I just wish the map data were more up to date, especially in the UK. The app sometimes directs you onto no-entry roads, roads that are no longer accessible, or one-way streets in the wrong direction. Unfortunately, the map information seems to be significantly behind other navigation apps.
Overall, it's a beautifully designed app, but outdated map data makes it less reliable than its competitors.
