I’m planning a trip through uncharted (to me) territory and went to check for maps and the server is down. The facebook link is down, and the twitter account hasn’t seen a tweet in ages. I don’t know what happened but it seems this service is dead, which is really sad! ### 3/5 — Outdated maps *2023-02-23, version 3.9.1* When I purchased this app several years ago, many of the maps were up-to-date. Now, in 2023, most of the maps are way out of date. Plus, world cities have random, inaccurate tourist and transit maps. This content app has a deep need to be refreshed, esp. in light of changes due to the Covid pandemic. ### 5/5 — Excellent app even in the base version *2023-01-03, version 3.9.1* Incredibly useful and simple. The amount of information presented in easy to understand formats is amazing. And, it does it all in under 20MB of space. Just shopping for places to go nearby is fun and eye opening for the number of places you didn’t know you had available. ### 5/5 — Maplets Server Permanently Down? *2022-11-17, version 3.9.1* This is literally my most favorite app. I’ve been using it as my go-to hiking map for years. But, recently (2022), its server (where all of the maps come from) appears to be down. You can still use existing maps you already have. But you can no longer get new ones or update your existing ones. ### 5/5 — Is this app still active? *2022-09-15, version 3.9.1* It still works for the maps I have but I can no longer add new maps. Message says “cannot reach server” or something like that. Facebook page and feedback links are dead. Unfortunately when my last phone ran out of storage I deleted maps that I would desperately like to have back. This is the best offline maps app I’ve used for dirt bike trips. I’d gladly pay a monthly or annual subscription in order to get it back. Please take my money. ### 4/5 — Outstanding! *2022-08-25, version 3.9.1* Outstanding App! Extremely useful, don't know how I ever lived without it. Unfortunately as of this date (August 24, 2022) maps can’t be searched. It says “Cannot find server. Please check that you’re connected to the internet.” The app hasn’t been updated in 4 years so perhaps it’s no longer supported. Great app though when it works. ### 1/5 — No Back Button Due To iOS Update *2022-02-23, version 3.9.1* I absolutely adore this app and have used it for more than a decade. Recently it stopped working on my phone because the back button which would allow you to go to a different maplet no longer works. You can tap it forever but it won’t let you leave the current map. So now I’m stuck in one map and if I want to see another I must delete the app, download it again, and then download whichever map I want to use. :-( Please please please can we have an update for this 5-star app? I’ll be getting a new phone later this year and I’m optimistic that might solve the problem. If so, I’ll be sure to update this review. ### 3/5 — Great when it works *2021-08-27, version 3.9.1* Lately I get a constant message that I’m not connected to the Internet one in fact I am. This makes downloading new maps impossible so I’m stuck with the handful that I currently have and I am unable to add anymore. It also looks like this app has not been updated in several years so maybe it has been abandoned? ### 5/5 — Luv this app *2021-05-20, version 3.9.1* I bought this years ago-and every year it has been one of my favorite apps. I use it for hiking in parks and for international travel. Say I want to find a map of bicycle routes in a foreign city- this is my go to place. ### 5/5 — One of my favorite apps... and it’s free! *2021-05-17, version 3.9.1* I use this very regularly when I go out hiking, especially in new areas or when I’m looking for a new trail to explore in a park I already know. The geo referencing that shows where we are on the trail (or even for just finding the trailhead while still in the car) is invaluable. And there’s no need to keep track of scores of paper maps. I’ve recommended to many friends. ## Frequently asked questions about Maplets ### What does Maplets do?
