## What is iStreets?

iStreets provides simple and easy access to Google's Street View imagery on your iOS device.

With search powered by Google Places, simply enter a query such as "Restaurants in London" and a list of relevant locations will appear on screen. You can then tap to view street view, share or get directions (via Apple Maps or iMaps+).

Alternatively, drag the yellow peg man from the top left hand corner of the map and release over a road or path to access street view.

Street view supports zooming in and out, and showing a mini-map overlay. There is also a full screen mode for a more immersive experience.

If you need a more complete Google Maps experience, look for "iMaps+ for Google Maps" on the App Store. iMaps+ provides all the great functionality from iStreets with the addition of directions, traffic, contacts integration and more.


Notes:

Subscriptions: iStreets operates as a subscription service. Recurring purchase is required for full functionality. Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions may be managed, and auto-renewal may be turned off, from iStreets settings or the Apple Settings app. Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited if you change your subscription term.

Directions, street view and live traffic details are only available in certain geographical regions.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

### 1/5 — Shuts down

*2026-06-01, version 5.0.7*

As soon as I launch the app, it shuts down again. So it’s only an Icon that opens and immediately shuts down again. Useless.

### 1/5 — Fails to open

*2026-03-13, version 5.0.7*

Paid £25 for this App, worked fine on my old iPad for a couple of years, just downloaded it onto my new replacement iPad and it will just not open. Really disappointed.

### 2/5 — Terrible!

*2025-12-24, version 5.0.7*

£25 for something that jams up.  Waste of money. Time for the problem to be corrected. Still can’t enter the address I want.

### 2/5 — Search box blacks out

*2025-09-30, version 5.0.7*

I paid for this and still can only use it once or twice before the search box turns black and I am unable to type in search terms. Bogus.

### 1/5 — Useless Maps
