Can’t stop and resume uploads - bad design
With huge uploads the are trying to encourage why wouldn’t they at least try to allow some sort of pausing and resuming. Terrible waste of bandwidth to start a large upload, lose a little coverage and have to start over every time.
A lot of capabilities in a simple mobile app
Mapillary has made mapping for OpenStreetMap so much easier, with such little barrier to entry. All I do is launch the app and boom I can record streets, roads, and paths in record time. My only complaint is not being able to continue uploads in the background, now that iOS 26 supports that kind of task. Other than that though, the app is super handy and the Mapillary integration into all my tools is a great asset.

Love the improvements over the past year.
Much less crashes now.

Getting better
The 6/20/2024 refresh is a bit more attractive than the previous release.
The Mapillary Missions have gone away. Too bad but they never seemed fully implemented.
The x button to exit some screens seems a bit more reliable.
Still hoping for the ability to start/stop recording by clicking the volume button rather than tapping an on-screen button.
Note: The 6/20 refresh kept crashing when it first appeared on my iPhone. I had to delete, reinstall, and login again. Since then it’s been stable.

Good, I guess
Reinstalling the app fixed the issue, review updated
Original:
main issue rn is it looks like the profile screen UI got updated and whenever I try to view it, it flashes for a second with all the data still loading and then it just crashes

Hi Justin, could you try uninstalling the app and then re-installing it from the app store? If that fixes the issue we would appreciated an updated review and rating. If not, could you please email us at support@mapillary.zendesk.com with what iPhone you are using?
Interface a bit crude
Interface really needs a refresh and a thick coat of polish. Too many times that I thought I triggered the camera on or off, and no nothing happened. Would help a lot if I could trigger that using the volume button as one an with Apple’s own x camera app. Also, returning from panels back to the main interface requires tapping a small X which most of the time it ignores you so you end up tapping 5 times and now and again you have to just force quit and restart. Also, this app absolutely kills my phone battery.
Edit: a couple months later… there’s been an update and the interface is maybe a bit cleaner. But now it crashes regularly when I tap the profile icon at lower right if I have recently uploaded photos processing.

Hi rbs, thank you for your feedback. 1. We have updated the UX to a brand new experience - please let us know your thoughts - we would appreciate your updated review and rating. 2. Thank you for the suggestion on the volume button capture - we expect to implement this in coming releases. 3. Thank you for the suggestions on making the "x" easier to tap - we expect to implement this in coming releases. 4. The phone battery problem is harder as taking imagery uses a lot of phone resources, but we are looking at improving this as well. Thank you again!

Cannot download sequences to Mac or Windows
On Windows, I’m using iTunes app File Sharing feature. Although I can see the Mapillary folder in iTunes when I tried to save it on my Windows laptop, nothing happens. I switched to my MacBook Pro 14” (ios16.c.c) and simply tried to drag drop the Mapillary folder directly from Findersnd again nothing happens. The Dowload did not start.
My 64Gb iPhone is now full and I can’t get the images off the phone to clear up some space.
I’m travelling in Iceland right now and have captured imaging footage but I can’t continue anymore as the phone’s storage is full and there’s not enough time in hotels to upload the images fast enough ready for the next day.
This is so bloody annoying.

Mapping the unknown has never been easier or cooler
I am a map nerd and Mapillary will make you one too. Literally, start camera, move with camera pointed right way, upload and voila you made new map data. Get creative and mount on any vehicle or transport mode or create a multi cam rig. Data flows beautifully into lots of advanced analysis tools. Get out there and map!

Great way to help OpenStreetMap
I use this app to take pictures of stuff and edit OpenStreetMap. It’s really easy!

Super!
Great app thank you!
Can’t log in ever
Keep resetting my password then type it in but can never get past the login screen. I keep getting an error message when trying to log in. ** Update ** The developer asked me to look at the app again and re-rate it. I appreciate the fact that they are interested and I can now login. But that’s the extent of my success. It is a confusing app with a bunch of icons that don’t seem to do anything or what they do is a mystery. For example you press one button and it changes some things from green to orange. But I don’t understand why. There’s other icons that tell you that you are now in some kind of beta test. But it’s not readily apparent why the map changed or what the difference is. It doesn’t find businesses, and basic navigation doesn’t work. I type in an address to a known location and it finds that location provides no method of navigation to that location. I frankly don’t see the point to this app other than that they want you to take pictures of the area for them for free.
** more updates ** I see some from other reviews that they are now owned by Facebook. That kills it for me I’ll have nothing to do with them.

Hi there bkarlan, it looks like you might be looking for a navigation app like Apple Maps or Google Maps. Mapillary is a different kind of app used for creating maps and map data by capturing street level imagery. Sorry for the confusion and hope you find what you are looking for!
Sequence locked” bug since at least June 2021
Since summer 2021, random upload attempts fail, “sequence locked” message (iOS and Android) prevents sequence access or upload. Crazy-making, major obstacle to OSM community contributions, editing (:-(
Fixed:
Crash on login attempt
Continue as guest - app crashes (:-( (does Apple test app submissions?)
SE (first gen) 13.13.1

New Update Crashed!
After new update, the app is not opening on my iPhone 8 when I tried to login. It crashed every time i login.
Waste of Time
App will not allow you to log in nor will it allow you to set up an account.
Sold out to Facebook
No longer supported, unlikely to continue working (if it even still works).
Another one bites the dust.

Last Update rendered App unusable
Downloaded the latest update & the application stopped working. I tap to open & it crashes. Opens & shuts down immediately.

Hello! Since this review was posted, we have tremendously improved Mapillary's overall responsiveness. We would greatly appreciate it if you would consider giving our app another chance and re-rating it. :)
Great concept with opportunities for improvement
I have about 10k images loaded and I love contributing to a competitor to google street view. I can see where other people have contributed and where I can go upload data. My drives now have an extra purpose and I can see where I’ve been on the map. I would like to see some new features.
Being able to upload and capture at the same time would allow me to capture for longer. I have unlimited data, let me use it.
The capture buttons take up too much of the image so it’s hard to get my mount just right. Put those settings in another menu.
Show me my lines in a different color. I want to see where I’ve contributed vs just the green line. I like seeing where I’ve contributed.
Let me remain logged in. I get in my car, get ready to go, plug in my power, get the mount just right, and then I have to fiddle with login. Bring back google login please. Username password is tedious.
Can you also preserve my settings after updates? I have to go in and change the flash when picture take and upload via data following an update.
