### 4/5 — Very cool!

*2026-06-01, version 2.9.2*

Kudos!

### 4/5 — Muy útil

### 3/5 — Sem atualização do mapa

*2026-01-12*

Não atualiza o mapa a anos, é top em tudo mais mapas antigas não consigo pegar áreas atualizadas que seja de um ano atrás, pra quem não consegue off line eu aconselho a abrir o app na rede e ver toda a área que vai trabalhar pq depois sem rede não abre dando zoom.

**Developer response:** The app is just a map editing/viewing tool, it does not provide any map or related content of its own. It uses Apple's native map as the system map layer, which updates when apple or iOS updates. You also can add/connect to custom map layers such as Google Map, OSM, USGS or any online WMS/WMTS map services, check the online user manual for more details. For those custom maps, you can use the download map feature to download online map content for specified region and zoom levels for offline usage.

### 3/5 — Synchronization

*2025-07-07, version 2.9.0*

Fails to synchronize after installation.

### 4/5 — Great Tool

*2025-05-23, version 2.9.0*

I’ve been using for a while and this app is really powerful.  My biggest concern is that I’m not sure the app is maintained and I don’t want to lose my data so may need to port to something else.   The app hasn’t been updated in a year, the link to the forum is broken, and the documentation is incomplete.

### 3/5 — Tolles Programm mit zwei kleinen Schwächen.

*2025-03-25*

Ich nutze dieses Programm primär als GIS-Plattform und bin von der Funktionalität begeistert. Zwei Dinge würde ich mir dennoch wünschen. 1. Einmal wäre es schön, wenn man einstellen könnte, dass man direkt in den Editierungsmodus gelangt, wenn man einen Punkt erstellt. Bisher ist es so, dass man auf den erstellten Punkt klicken muss, ihn auswählt, dann auf Details und anschließend auf Edit klickt, was deutlich zu kompliziert ist. 2. Da ich oft im Gelände kartiere, in dem keine mobilen Daten verfügbar sind, wäre es toll, wenn man neben den Offline-Rasterkarten auch die Vektorkarten von Openandromaps verwenden könnte, da Rasterkarten einfach viel zu groß sind.

**Developer response:** 1. You can try the "Feature Class" + "HTML Notes", create a class for spec type of points, and customize the "Notes" with HTML, css and JS to customize a editable popup panel which would be shown you new instance is created or selected on the map. Then edit properties within the HTML notes, and add a conditional style to the class which affect the appearance while property changes.

2. The app do support vector GIS file format, like KML, GPX, SHP, TAB... you can transfer your data into those formats and imported into the app.

### 5/5 — Powerful App

*2025-01-28, version 2.9.0*

I little confusing at first but this app is powerful. I use it regularly as a pilot.

### 5/5 — 굿

*2024-10-19*

좋네요. 등산지도의 최고봉을 사용할 수 있어 좋아요

### 5/5 — Единственная лучшая.

*2024-09-20*

Приложением пользуюсь очень давно. Купил все встроенные функции. Использую приложение по максимум. Работаю в сфере геодезии. Приложение умеет использовать сторонние растры, ГИС модели, записывать треки, рисовать фигуры и много чего ещё! Огромное благодарность автору!

### 2/5 — 仕事で使うので

*2024-09-05*

日本語対応お願いします

**Developer response:** Sorry but since the develop team of the app is closed in 2019, we could not provide significant updates and new languages any more.

### 5/5 — Best map app hands down

*2024-08-31, version 2.9.0*

I use this app for planning and tracking cross-country cycling journeys. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but it’s worth it, because the app is not constantly sticking its nose into other parts of my life and for a few extra bucks, again, well worth it, doesn’t advertise garbage to me. How long will it last? Who knows! Let’s all just enjoy this unspoiled application actually designed for users over our corporate overlords while we can.

### 5/5 — Super App

*2024-08-21*

Tolle App, wenn man aufzeichnen will, wo man schon überall Fahrad gefahren ist, welche Städte und Länder besucht wurden oder welche versteckten Orte als Servicetechniker aufgesucht wurden.

### 5/5 — Heatmap please

*2024-07-15*

Heatmaps please!

### 5/5 — We like it

*2024-07-06, version 2.9.0*

We like it. Works great on the H&M Trails with the Bob T trails downloaded on our Apple  IPad

### 4/5 — Excelente

*2024-06-21*

So precisa ter idioma português BR

### 5/5 — The app is like no other.

*2024-06-10, version 2.9.0*

All Apple Apps should perform like this.

### 5/5 — Great GIS tool

*2024-05-13, version 2.9.0*

### 5/5 — Просто и удобно

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-09-06, version 2.9.0*

Doesn’t work. Keeps saying it must access internet to sync. I’m connected to internet but it won’t sync and won’t allow you to do anything.

### 1/5 — Mapas off-line não aparecendo

*2024-07-09*

Mapas off-line não aparecem no iPhone 13, já desinstalei, comprei pacotes dentro e nada, não funciona, desta forma impossibilita o uso do app em área sem conexão com internet, pois não consigo ver imagem satélite nem me localizar nas áreas.

**Developer response:** The app provides the ability to connect various of online map services and download contents for offline usage, but for copyright reasons, those map configurations is not embedded in the app by default, you need to input the map configurations of each map by yourself, just like the same way for accessing those maps in common GIS softwares such as QGIS, there are many relates documents on our websites for how to, or you can contact us via email for a further support.

### 1/5 — New update

*2023-10-01, version 2.8.19*

The new update messed up everything that was coded in with the custom properties and conditional styles. My app is only showing orange lines and not what I have placed. No response for helping to resolve this issue with the new update

### 1/5 — Alles auf Chinesisch

*2023-04-01*

Heruntergeladen, geöffnet, schöner Blick auf den Globus mit Nordamerika im Fokus —— aber alle Menüeinträge und alle Dialogfenster in chinesischer Sprache. Was tun? In fünf Minuten Chinesisch lernen oder App wieder löschen?
Schade eigentlich.

**Developer response:** This app provides UI for both English and Chinese, please add any of them to your iOS's Settings > General > Language & Region > Preferred Language. You can add multiple languages there and iOS would automatically pick the first one that supported by apps.

### 1/5 — Version update removed custom map layer functionality

*2023-01-14, version 2.8.12*

This was a great app because I could use all my tiled and georeferenced map layers for underwater topography and see what the bottom looked like as I was cruising over it.  But with this latest update in IOS they have removed this functionality rendering it useless for me now.  It is now no different from other mapping apps.  Please bring back the map layer functionality.

### 1/5 — Privacy concerns

*2022-09-04, version 2.8.11*

This app needs to update the details of what connections it makes and why. Also need information of what information is collected. My network/VPN and Pi-Hole did not like this app and blocked it.

Privacy policy page would not open. App not updated in two years. Deleted straight away.

### 1/5 — Difficult to read

*2022-07-12, version 2.8.11*

Very difficult to read.

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE THE DIRECTIONS

*2022-03-29, version 2.8.11*

This app reports the wrong coordinates to google maps and Apple Maps. It’ll take you in the complete wrong direction.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2021-11-30, version 2.8.11*

I use this app for work a lot. As of recent, anytime I open the app with a KMZ file it freezes, then crashes. This is happening on a brand new IPad, and IPhone. When this app worked I loved it. But about to switch back to google earth if this isn’t fixed.

### 1/5 — No instructions

*2021-10-09, version 2.8.11*

Might be powerful but absolutely worthless without instructions or support. The only thing it seems to be good at is stealing my money

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2026-07-22, version 2.9.2*

This app is amazingly useful for viewing KML data, I would absolutely love CarPlay viewing capabilities.

### 5/5 — Супер

*2026-03-27*

Безумно рад тому что нашел это приложение, это то чего мне так давно не хватало на iOS.
Огромная просьба к разработчикам. Я использую накладываемое изображение с .kmz привязкой. И было бы очень удобно регулировать прозрачность изображения прямо с главного экрана карты. Сейчас эта опция слишком глубоко спрятана и пользоваться ей крайне неудобно. Благодарю за внимание!

### 5/5 — O melhor para iPad!

*2026-02-11*

Já o uso por mais de 5 anos. Excelente aplicativo!
Importa os principais formatos, inclusive SHP!
Aliada ao glonass permite trabalhos de campo de ótima precisão.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-02-10, version 2.9.0*

It works smoothly and provides exactly the tools needed for field and office work. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Construction

*2026-01-25, version 2.9.0*

Great app to use on our site

### 5/5 — Ну, спасибо!

*2025-12-06*

Пользуюсь приложением уже больше года, я геодезист. Все очень удобно. Автор, благодарю!

### 5/5 — 大爱

*2025-10-05, version 2.9.0*

很喜欢

### 5/5 — Productivity Multiplier

*2025-06-08, version 2.9.0*

Our organization does contract field work in an area where four counties converge.   Road signage is challenging or non-existent.  Map Plus allows me to communicate with co-workers regarding travel routes and driving directions.

### 5/5 — App

*2025-03-19, version 2.9.0*

Seems like a good mapping system

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-03-12, version 2.9.0*

Excelent app for mapping outside wihtout service
