## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can not copy and get info, and text shrinks with zoom

*2019-04-24*

Here are some major flaws:
1. You can not get any info on a building, address, store, location ect.
2. Add you get no info, you can also not copy any building name or such, what would be helpful for DiDi as one example
3. The more you zoom in, three more the words and subplots shrink. Making it impossible to read the Chinese characters

Not useful this app

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-12-08*

Doesn’t work well. Difficult to find how to use.  Pinpoint jumps all over the immediate area as do other China apps.

### 2/5 — Not many listings. Apple Maps is better.

*2020-06-22*

Using Apple Maps is much easier. It is also bilingual and you can put in the name of any venue and it comes up with public transit routes. This app has hardly any listings, many of the venues aren’t even open for business anymore. The navigation of the UI is outdated. You have to keep clicking ‘back’.

### 5/5 — The only decent English Chinese map app

*2020-03-04*

The only decent English Chinese map app

### 5/5 — Fantastic Multi-Lingual App in China!

*2019-02-01*

This app does most of the translating for you so you never need to switch between you translator and your default mapping application to figure out what names mean. If you are looking for something in particular, such as a restaurant, metro or bus station, this will conveniently show you in both English and Chinese. This is a must have tool when visiting China (or even if you are a foreigner like me, just having this for daily use has many benefits).
