### 4/5 — Handy app for KML files from Google!

*2024-01-19*

Simple to import a file, once done can open in app or in Apple Maps. Works really well. 
Is there are way to modify the map pins for each imported POI? Is there a way to export a map as a KML file from within this app?
Thanks.

**Developer response:** Hello, you can’t modify the map pins. But you can add or delete a new pin by long press on the in app map. Export is also available. These two features are in the pro version only.

### 5/5 — Awesome to take Google Earth to Apple Maps

*2020-05-11*

This app is a bit of a lifesaver for me. Only way I could mark locations for work was using Google Earth, but needed to send locations to people using Apple Maps. This allowed me to do just that. 

It would be a really nice upgrade if there was an ability to transfer all map locations into a file within Maps. Currently, my workaround is to look at individual location in Maps, and save that to a collection. Not a big deal, but when you’re dealing with 100+ locations, it would be a huge time saver.  Excellent app!

### 4/5 — ***Please add Search***

*2019-05-06*

I love the simplicity of this app. Very clean UI. I would definitely give it five stars if it had the ability to search.

### 5/5 — Works great, be sure to choose kml NOT kml as the export!

*2018-11-09*

For those having issues, I think you didn’t choose KML as the export (it is an option when exporting from google maps). At first I didn’t choose KML and couldn’t import. Once I went back and choose the correct option in mymaps it was easy!  This app is something google should allow themselves!

### 1/5 — All KML imports from Google My Maps are now failing

*2025-11-30*

This app worked great for me for a long time, but recently, all maps I try to import now fail with an “invalid kml” error. Is it possible the maps are now being exported with a different format and the app needs an update?

**Developer response:** Hi, please email me at kmlcollection@pandanation.net and I can look into the issue for you.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-07-16*

Again another thing that apple is horrible at, you are a bad company.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-06-16*

Every KML I try to import says invalid file

### 1/5 — I’ve tried over and over

*2024-02-20*

Won’t accept a KML file that has anything other than a name in the data table.

**Developer response:** Please make sure the KML file is exported from mymaps.google.com

### 1/5 — Stop annoying me

*2023-03-24*

Instead of doing what I bought the app for, it will decided I would rather write a review for it, so here it is

**Developer response:** Hi, please submit a report in the app so I can look into your issue.

### 1/5 — Chariot

*2023-02-19*

Pure junk waste of good time and energy

**Developer response:** Hi, please submit a report in the app so I can look into your issue.

### 1/5 — Better create a shortcut

*2019-04-12*

Cant import from iCloud 
Very limited free version 

You better find a shortcut on Reddit

### 1/5 — Import not working. Running iOS 12

*2018-09-21*

Simple clean interface but Import doesn’t work. To bad as I like the simplicity of the app and I paid for the pro version. If it gets fixed I would rate it higher. Need an app that can import Kml files that I backed up from Google.

**Developer response:** Please send your KML file to kmlcollection@pandanation.net and we will check why it fails.

### 1/5 — 👎🏿

*2018-08-07*

Always showing import KML failed...worthless app.

### 3/5 — 3D View

*2024-03-12*

Nice add to my work apps. 3D view would take KML to the next level.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-04-05*

I had used this app with no problems until I got an IPhone 17. I was then unable to import a KML file after opening it in email. I sent a message to the developer and they fixed it in a day! This happened a a great app.

**Developer response:** Hi, please email me at kmlcollection@pandanation.net and I can look into the issue for you.

### 5/5 — Add one improvement Plz

*2026-02-16*

Please add the ability to connect additional KML/KMZ map layers so that all layers can be displayed on the map with placemarks, as well as enabled or disabled individually. Thank you.

**Developer response:** Hi, please email me at kmlcollection@pandanation.net. I'd like to understand more about your request regarding the features.

### 5/5 — Excepcional!

*2026-02-08*

Completa o Apple maps com a importação e busca de POI, muito interessante!

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2024-06-09*

I am now able to import data from the search for sites Motorhome and export locations to Mercedes Me via Google maps. Amazing.
One improvement would be the ability to edit the titles of the imported files with a personalised name.

### 5/5 — Have a friend that has a KML file and sent it. No options to open it.

*2023-08-24*

If you can’t share maps within your app. What is the point? It wouldn’t do this on the base version, so I upgraded. Still can’t. Can’t open map in google, gmail, etc. as it’s a KML file. No instructions. No options. Though it has an about icon and a rating icon.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback. I will work on sharing location within the map.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2023-07-20*

This app is really helpful and accurate.

### 5/5 — 100+ locations, tedious but possible

*2023-01-05*

corp locations to apple maps for day to day traveling between sites. would be excellent for mass export to guides but still worth the tediousness of one at a time exporting for long term time savings.

the apps built in map is actually decent so you can probably skip the export portion if you don't already use the guides in apple maps.

regarding in app purchases: in the US it was a one time fee, at a reasonable 1.99. I felt the "free preview" was absolutely adequate for testing the app for your requirements, without being ad ridden and distracting. i appreciate that in any app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We love to hear how users use the app so we can keep improving.
