### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-09-17, version 9.0*

This app does not work at all. It asks for several payments to upgrade and still does not work. I wasted $30 finding this out. Disappointing.

### 1/5 — Offline maps will not load

*2015-05-12, version 6.0*

After app downloaded to navigate offline an in app purchase was required. After purchase the off line map function would not download. Total waist of time and money.

### 1/5 — Can not load

*2014-09-21, version 6.0*

Can not load this  app

### 1/5 — Fake

*2014-05-25, version 5.0*

Fake app and fake author with old maps and closed once downloaded so tell all of ur friend about it as a spam and apple firms to report to Apple as a community to forbidding this author from putting anything els in the stores

### 1/5 — Very deceptive

*2014-05-25, version 5.0*

Was asked to pay $4.99 to enable navigation, which I did, THEN was asked to pay $19.99 for navigation again!

### 1/5 — Latest Dec 5 update needs work

*2013-12-23, version 5.0*

Constantly demand in-app purchase and won't work after that.  The othe Japan Map far better and not so slow.

### 1/5 — I want my money back!

*2012-05-20, version 1.0*

Absolutely crap app. Search function is a complete joke. EVERYTHING I search for says "No Results Found." There was absolutely nothing useful about this app for my trip to Nagoya. For a $3 app, they could do a lot better. As mentioned in another post, this app is not even worth a free download. I want my money back!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2012-05-13, version 1.0*

Trust me do not buy this. It's not worth a free download and definitely not worth $.

### 1/5 — Freaking useless

*2012-03-09, version 1.0*

As the other reviewer said, don't waste your money or space.  The map has terrible detail and is so unusable in practice that I ended up biting the bullet and turning on 3G for google maps instead.

### 1/5 — Don't Waste your Yen

*2011-08-15, version 1.0*

I don't know who created this app, but don't bother with it. I just moved to Roppongi and was hoping to get something I could use. It is difficult to navigate, maps feel old, the locate function is off and non of the POIs I looked up were available. I wish I could get my $$ back. And guess what?!? App Support page "cannot be found". Go figure. Kind of ironic.
