Privacy good, awful search
The app itself is great if you know exactly where you want to go. But if you’re looking up where to go it’ll search thousands of miles away in another state.
Nu nog straten op de Apple Watch of rijstrook begeleiding op Apple Watch voor de rest goede app
Aanwijzingen volgende straat of een kaart op Apple Watch voor de rest goede app
No more free
Useless, used to be free. I’d not mind paying but all my downloaded maps are no longer available
Traffic updates unavailable in New Zealand; info is misleading
I really love this app and paid for the full version. Unfortunately the information given to you before buying is quite misleading.
The app says Magic Earth has live traffic updates but that's not entirely true. Live traffic updates are only available some places. They are not available in New Zealand, and that makes the app unusable even though I've paid for it.
What is available is the driver's ability to update others on traffic. Helpful, but not when you're sitting in it. The way this is messaged to potential customers isn't fair.
If live traffic updates were available, and the app was more honest, it'd be an easy five stars.

Inaccurate out of date data
Best avoided. It cannot be relied on. Even the premium version is not worth it. The data is over a decade old in the UK maps for example.
Best offline turn by turn navigation app
Best out there. Hands down. Lost my support due to subscription fees.
Carplay
Has problem ! Cutting off the music that was playing
Got stuck towing using this
Tried this app because I’m towing 3.2m, caravan and bikes. And it took us to a dead end street that was super fun to get out of. Going back to google maps and just check the route before I leave. And it also kept trying to divert us to ridiculous routes that made no sense. Divert us off a hwy and trying to make use go through towns before getting back on, the very thing it’s suppose to not use. Total joke. Paid for premium. Do not use.

There is no trade-off!
Five Stars just for this statement from their website:
“Everything in Magic Earth is grounded in PRIVACY. There is no trade-off between using the product and protecting your identity.”
As an American, I take my Fourth Ammendment Rights SERIOUSLY Apple!

De très loin la meilleure application de navigation !
Cette application coche absolument toutes les cases d’un grand GPS et y ajoute des fonctionnalités très utiles.
Cette société est un pionnier de longue date dans ces outils de navigation et de plus il s’agit d’une société européenne !
Tout d’abord les cartes sont telechargeables pour une utilisation dans les zones sans réseau ou à l’étranger pour économiser votre forfait.
Ensuite elle prévient intelligemment des zones de danger afin de vous permettre de conduire en toute quiétude tout en respectant les limitations routières.
Un retour sur l’Apple Watch permet par exemple en moto de garder son iPhone dans la poche tout en étant guidé.
Le type de route et donc l’état du revêtement est très utile pour nous motards.
Evidemment il est possible d’afficher les POI désirés.
La recherche d’une destination est rapide et très complète.
Finie de se retrouver au milieu d’un champ….
Les notifications peuvent être vocales ou juste signal sonore.
L’interface n’est pas surchargée comme beaucoup d’autres applications de ce type.
L’interface est ultra fluide et très esthétique.
Le tout pour un abonnement annuel très économique.
Magic Earth est donc devenue mon application de navigation après en avoir tester une petite dizaine.
Enfin aucun traceur intégré pour revendre votre vie privée. Cette application est très respectueuse de vos données.
Merci à l’équipe de Magic Earth pour ce très bel outil de navigation.
PS: je n’ai aucun lien avec cette société. Je ne suis qu’un utilisateur ravit.

From an Android and IOS user
Due to circumstances outside of my control I have had to switch phones twice in the last few months. Their process for accessing your paid premium features on a new device absolutely sucks. You have to click a link that is supposed to email you a new code you have to activate on your new device to get the features you paid for. The big problem is both times I’ve needed to switch I’ve had to contact support because I straight up don’t get a link to my email. I’ve tried every email and alias I have. Support can’t offer any help either, they just resend the same link. Eventually when I had to switch the first time it worked after several weeks of trying. This time I had trouble again and I think I’m giving up on the app. Check the Google Play store reviews. They’re much different. They remade their entire app and started charging subscriptions for it while it was half baked, using customers as beta testers. It crashed on me every single drive no matter how long, the search sucks and the app overall still leaves a lot to be desired. They slowly started improving on the crashes but they still have a looooong way to go before the product they present actually lives up to the promises to their customers. CoMaps is under active community development and will take a while to get live traffic updates but when they do it will be a much better option for people

Great - One Flaw
Perfect alternative to "big tech" apps. This is my go to, and it has everything I need. The one draw back is that is overheats the entire phone within 10 min if it's the summer and within 30 min if the car is cool. Doesn't matter if the phone is or isn't charging or where it's sitting. It's just the app. Once that's fixed, this is 5 stars.

Très bien
Je l’utilise souvent comme GPS poids lourds. Je ne sais pas sur quelle base de données il puise pour savoir ou non les interdictions, mais il fonctionne très bien.
Parfois il invente des radars, mais comme il n’y a aucun symbole de radar sur la carte ne ne voit pas comment le corriger.

Great offline map
I hardly use it at all. Got it just for emergency when I forgot to download googlemap ahead.
It was free in the first year, then I paid $1/yr for past 2 yrs. It is $20/yr now. I may not renew the subscription based on how rarely I use it.
Anyway, it’s a very good offline map to have (I’ve tested out in city, small town and trails)
Highly recommend.

Map download glacial
On a full 5G connection will only download one map and that extremely slowly. Then have to restart the app to get it to download another.
Pretty good

Traffic reporting still doesn’t work in my area. Since traffic is the main reason I use navigation this app is still pretty useless. I’m a premium subscriber but won’t renew without good traffic information.

Overall works well still. The biggest problem I have is there really isn’t traffic calculated into routes. If they are only using their own app crowd sourcing traffic data it won’t work as there isn’t enough users. Since this is a paid application now I would need good reliable traffic data to keep using this application.
Overall it’s pretty good. Sometimes when I search for a place it will shows me other places with the same name but are not the place. Also when searching on car play the keyboard always shows so you can’t see anything except the first result which is annoying.

Great!
Great!
All hat, no cattle.
Good ideas, but very glitchy, inconsistent, and many of the features (like the watch version) just never worked. Felt like a beta test — definitely nowhere a finished project. They tried to run before learning to walk, and ended up on their faces.
Crashed on iPad
My favorite map app but update crashes on iPad when attempting to update a map.
Pretty good
