### 5/5 — Wow!

*2025-06-20*

The navigation style is smooth, and I love the different layers you can add onto the map. It also doesn’t take as long to re route like other navigation apps. I suggest a try!

### 5/5 — Good weather aware navigation

*2025-06-20*

Great navigation app, the weather integration comes in handy

### 5/5 — Slick CarPlay app

*2025-06-17*

Appreciate the weather layers + satellite view in my car. Developer is very responsive and is back to shipping lots of features. Keep going!

### 1/5 — No voice navigation

*2025-06-15*

Impossible to get voice directions to work. Not worth paying for.

**Developer response:** Hey there,

We’re very sorry for this issue with voice directions. We ask you kindly to update our app to the latest version (v2.6.0) as we’ve recently fixed it! If you have any other issues, don’t hesitate to reach out at support@journey.tech.

Thank you

### 4/5 — Journey nav great app

*2024-08-30*

My experience is the directions are good, more features are being added with fine tuning from feedback to very responsive developers. 

The weather notification is nice, the app has a carpool lane option, and route forecasting.  Pretty cool. 

Most problems described by previous reviewers have been addressed, this nav is worth a try.

### 1/5 — Journey nav CRASHING

*2024-08-27*

Recent iOS update 17.6 Journey app and website crashing. Can't contact developer to troubleshoot, so I'm trying here.

My experience is the directions are good, more features are being added with fine tuning from feedback to very responsive developers. Most problems described by previous reviewers have been addressed, this nav is worth a try.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2024-06-20*

I got this in hopes it would show directions on my IONIQ 5 HUD since Apple Maps and Google maps do not. It doesn’t, though. The directions are also sometimes very silly, taking paths that seem rather backwards. The voice during directions is robotic and doesn’t pronounce things correctly. For example, “Hwy” is said by this app as “H-W-Y” instead of “Highway”. Finally I just don’t like how it traps you into a subscription with a 7 day trial that automatically renews if you forget to cancel it. You can’t demo the app at all unless you give them the ability to bill you. All in all I see no benefits at all over Apple Maps.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we'll definitely look into improving how the street names are pronounced in addition to our billing model. We'd love to have you give us a try again in the future. If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out at support@gowithjourney.com.

### 1/5 — Can't trust this

*2024-06-10, version 1.59.0*

This app should be in beta. A lot bugs which developers are resolving fast. But a beta app for £6.99/month? Woh, unacceptable. I tested this app for a month. The search results are inaccurate, and the navigation took me to a wrong place. I had to use apple maps instead.

### 3/5 — Journey nav

*2024-05-30*

My experience is the directions are good, more features are being added with fine tuning from feedback to very responsive developers. 

Most problems described by previous reviewers have been addressed, this nav is worth a try.

### 1/5 — Paid subscription navigation app

*2024-05-16*

No free version, have to pay to use. No reason to get when Waze and Apple/Google Maps is free. Also crashing consistently. Will be irrelevant in a few years fs.

**Developer response:** We're very sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience with our app. We'd love to know more if you can email us at support@gowithjourney.com so we can promptly resolve your crashes. Thank you.
