Amazing App that no longer seems to be supported
I’ve used this app for years and its been well worth the $3 investment. 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!

Outdated maps
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 Now, in 2023, most of the maps are way out of date.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.

Excellent app even in the base version
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.

Maplets Server Permanently Down?
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.
Is this app still active?
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.

Outstanding!
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.

No Back Button Due To iOS Update
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.

Great when it works
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?

Luv this app
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.
One of my favorite apps... and it’s free!
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.

Super useful
To be able to see your position on the state map is very helpful. Sadly these aren’t very large or detailed but it certainly helps with general positioning. I wish we could overlay these onto a satellite or detailed topo and change transparency like in Gaia maps. Nonetheless great tool.
Works great for what I need it for
Use it for my local atv place famous reading outdoors a whole lot of land to cover an to much to remember every little thing nice that you can pull up each individual riding spot an got a pretty detailed up to date map
Excellent Resource when traveling - world wide
I have used this excellent resource frequently over the years. Before I head to a destination, I see what maps are out there for that destination. This app has original maps that people upload. Based on looking over these maps, in the past, I have been able to find gems that locals know about, but travelers may not. Also, very handy to be able to download the maps locally

Great app for trails
I’ve used this Maplets for several years. It is my favorite trail app, but they also offer other maps such as zoos. The two things that I really like about it are:
1. I vaccfownload the maps and use them anytime. Sometimes I do need to download them again, so I will check before I go to hike some place to make sure I have the map on the app.
2. If I do have cell service when using the a map on the app, my location shows up on the map on the app.
Today I was hiking at a park that I had not been too for awhile, and the trails weren’t well marked. However, I was able to find where I was on the trail, and that gave me a lot of peace of mind on my hike.

Great app!
I love this app, and often use it when walking or hiking. The maps are usually the official maps for the trail system, and can show where I am on the map, using my iPhone GPS.
I can find maps for most trails in my area. I also like that, if a map isn't available in this app, and I send them a link to the map on the internet, they will add it to Maplets.

Great hiking app!
This is my “go to” app for hikes! I can see exactly where I am on the map and what direction I am facing. As noted in other reviews, it does not track my course, but I use AllTrails for that. What Maplets has done superbly for years is to allow me to quickly see on a map where I am - which I can use to decide what fork in the trail to take or how to get back to the trailhead or a desired location.

Extremely happy with this app!
We ride the Hatfield McCoy trails in WV and KY, which has more trails than any system I’ve been to. This app is great for navigating tight and twisting offroad trails. Before this app, we used the paper map, which worked, but it was a 5 minute discussion about where we were and which way to go. I recommend this app to anyone we see in the trails or asks for directions.

This app saved us
Glad to have downloaded this app before a recent hike. I already knew the trails were very poorly marked but Maplets worked like a charm with its GPS voodoo. We covered a moderate 6 mile trail and Maplets kept us from getting crazy lost. I would give 10 stars but they won’t let me. Bravo.
Maplets Most Helpful
I have used Maplets for many years now and it is still my most useful and convenient app. Maplets continues to get better and better. While it does not lay down a track when hiking you can drop pins to trace your trail if you wish. Maplets is GPS enabled and Does pinpoint your location on the map. It also has a marker that shows direction of travel when on the trail , another useful feature. I have access to maps at anytime. Once downloaded i can use them without an internet connection.. Zaia is always updating their database to keep current. If you want Zaia to add a map you can contact them thru the app (or online) to make your request-if it is available they will add it. I have not had any issues with this app and use it several times each week. Love this app!
Update: Have used 5 years now and Maplets is still my go-to app. Thank you Zaia for this great app and all your tireless work to keep it the best Map App out there. Update year 6: Everything I said in the past still stands! Best App for me-easy to use, shows info I need, works when I need it, updated regularly.
Update 2020: still my favorite. The latest app update added the ability to create folders to organize your maps. Love this feature which makes finding maps much easier instead of scrolling thru the entire list to find the one you want 👍👍👍
Thank you Zaria:)))

Great app; so sad no longer supported
Been using this across many parks for many years. Really great. But now no longer being updated, so sad to see that maps are becoming slowly out of date. Will keep using until too dated, because the other apps are nothing like as good as this one
