Often time recordings are lost or will say 100% finished but then never get uploaded, or disappear forever. Grab has really let this app go to hell. It worked fantastic when it was OpenStreetCam under Telenav! ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2026-01-31* It used to work fine but now I can’t login using my open street app account. ### 1/5 — Zu viel bugs zum nutzen *2026-01-04* Logging ist buggy, Der Upload scheitert. Das Feedback Formular kann nicht abgesendet werden da laut der App keine Verbindung zum Internet besteht. ### 1/5 — Upload videos discontinued *2025-10-25* I can’t upload because it on error ### 1/5 — Use Mapillary As A Better Choice *2025-08-28* The App Is Useless. Use Mapillary Instead ### 1/5 — Uploads buggy - beware! *2025-08-04* This version gives me a terrible data loosing bug where uploads will quit abruptly midway though uploading, loosing your pending uploads in the process. Developers not replying to emails about this issue, seems to be a severely under resourced project at this point. It’s too bad Grab is really letting this app go by the wayside ever since they acquired it from Telenav. Check out Panoramax instead! ### 4/5 — Großes potential *2025-05-11* Die App muss aber beschleunigt und stabilisiert werden... ### 1/5 — not so good *2025-01-07* ios app doesnt even upload. I believe this project has been abandoned. ### 1/5 — App fails to upload recorded tracks *2024-12-28* Seems App Store censoring reviews of crappy software. Android app also hosed. Useless developer, should be punished for wasting OSM users’ good-faith efforts and time ### 2/5 — Uploads buggy - beware! *2024-12-19* This version gives me a terrible data loosing bug where uploads will quit abruptly midway though uploading, loosing your pending uploads in the process. Developers not replying to emails about this issue, seems to be a severely under resourced project at this point. It’s too bad Grab is really letting this app go by the wayside ever since they acquired it from Telenav. ## Frequently asked questions about KartaView ### What is KartaView?
