Big price increase
Price has increased from a pound to £12.99 a year, which is just too much. £5 or so would be more reasonable.
bon mais
Il ne fonctionne plus depuis que mon abonnement s'est terminé, alors que le mode gratis devrait permettre au moins d'utiliser les cartes en ligne...
J'aimais bien son estimation d’arrivée (ETA). Certains concurrents sont trop optimistes, donc dangereux.

Response from developer
Hi, Alex! Thank you for your review. Let's check if the prohibitory traffic signs are properly set in OpenStreetMap. Please email us at support@magicearth.com and give us some examples of locations where you received guidance to dangerous U-turns or streets with prohibitory traffic signs. Thank you and looking forward to your email.
Almost had potential…
The concept is great, but the sudden 20x price increase is not, especially considering a few key issues. I used to be a subscriber but cancelled. I understand cost increases, but 20x is ridiculous.
I like the route statistics showing elevation, road surface, etc. however, you must click on each item to see it. Displaying more info on larger screens would be more helpful.
Issues holding it back: Maps are highly sensitive to rotating when you don’t want them to and then when you try to rotate them back, they don’t change. There’s no snapping at true north, so you have to press the tiny button to put it back. Address location isn’t the fastest. Wish there was trailer mode, but truck options are fine enough.
Seems like some of these issues have been around for a while. Hopefully the developer addresses them if they want to justify the price increase…

No good for HGV
Been using this app for a week after purchasing a licence. Thought it seemed quite good for the first day. But then running it along side my TomTom with the same HGV dimensions it keeps trying to take me through weight limits as if it is ignoring the profile I had set.
Hooked me in with a good price, but then …
I have downloaded and tried quite a number of SatNav apps to my phone over the years. Some of them have gone through very heavy testing from me. Some have been discarded very quickly. Only a few have survived the tests. Magic Earth is one that has survived. And more than survived. It’s the only one that I have been willing to pay a subscription fee for. I dare say that the very reasonable price is the most obvious reason why I have been prepared to pay for it, but as the title of this review says, they hooked me in with the price. But now that they have me, they think it’s okay to bump up the price by an outrageous rate of more than 653%

Oh, of course I could use Magic Earth without paying the subscription price. But what would I lose if I don’t pay? Nothing major. Nothing major, except Apple Car Play, Apple Watch integration, offline maps, elevation map styles, trip recording, sharing activities, cloud backups for favourites and history, more detailed weather information, not only for the destination, but also along the way, and the ability to choose languages based upon my preference and region, not having to stick to the default voice. And there’s a lot more.
But who cares about a promise to keep the subscription price the same? Certainly not these developers. Shocking. And disgusting. Money grabbing behaviour.
