Hhmmm

Good try but searches yield zero results and the map seems to be about 10 years old.

100% useless

Literally does not work. Shows a map, you can move it around, when you try to search for anything, it returns turn zero results. Just put the old app back up until you fix this but – oh my God. How could you release this. Looks like you spent a lot of time writing about the story in the history and all that stuff, why don’t you put that time into just letting it actually search for anything at all whatsoever? When I search for “Bank”, it says there is zero results. When I search for anything, there are zero results. I can’t imagine what it would say as far as having directions - but I can’t get that far. .

Really nice app, but it’s broken

The app is a great idea and works well except that search and looking up of places is broken. Hopefully they fix it.

Promising maps for travels in Asia

It gets most translations right, public transport is also shown which is a great advantage compared to other maps. The search feature could be improved, it doesn’t always find the right place. Navigation would be a great bonus.
