## What is MapMarkup?

The easiest way to create custom maps!

Telling your friends where the party is or informing your colleagues how to get to the client’s address is very important, so make it easy with MapMarkup. Add arrows, labels and more to highlight the details and share!

You can add unlimited markup to your global map and MapMarkup will remember it all. There’s no need to re-create a map ever. Freehand lines and shapes in different colours allow you to make it easy for your friends to get to exactly where they need to go, and you can draw on road maps or satellite images as well.

Share maps to facebook, twitter, email and more. You can add several maps to a message too, so letting people know about that tricky motorway exit on the way to your place is easy.

You can even use MapMarkup to log places you’ve been to, or note good places to eat!

Unlike other mapping apps, we never gather any of your data.

## Key features

- Add arrows, labels, and freehand drawings
- Unlimited map markups
- Draw on road or satellite maps
- Share maps via social media and email
- Log visited places and recommendations

### 1/5 — Clunky. Not user friendly.

*2024-06-01*

An awkward and often frustrating UI. Not how an app should work. Apps are meant to make like easier ….not more frustrating. Don’t waste your time trying to use this. It’s more hassle than it’s worth.

### 5/5 — Great for Cemeteries and Obscure Areas

*2023-12-25*

Map works great for cemeteries and other areas not clearly marked on most conventional maps.  Allows you to see where you are in real time in relation to your destination and you can actually set your destination as a grave in a cemetery.  

Would be nice if you could curve and rotate your custom labels to match the slopes and directions of the roads.  Would be great if you could search for your labels in the search bar or save locations to choose from in a drop down menu.  Was hoping to be able to make map print outs with this but I think it will work as a great navigator on phone.

I will likely use this app for years to come.

### 5/5 — A+ & it’s Free

*2023-10-29*

Title says all

### 3/5 — Fantastic premise - just keeps crashing when annotating

*2023-01-21*

I was so excited when I saw this as I felt it would be a great tool for annotating junctions and other road areas for my customers of my driving school.  However, when ever I use the pencil mark up, it crashes on my iPad Pro within a few seconds. I means I have to revert to screenshots of Google Earth which I can annotate no problem. I would very much love to use this as getting to an area, marking up and then zooming in and out at will, is WAY more preferable than messing about with a screen shot and a lot quicker too. Hoping an update will fix this problem and will up date my review and score, accordingly. I scored three as it is a brilliant idea.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2022-11-11*

Can’t save

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2022-05-23*

Simple and efficient and does exactly as advertised.

### 5/5 — Great travel planner

*2020-02-24*

I am now planning a trip to Europe and I am using you map markup app to put pins and write descriptions of everywhere I want to see. It will make it much easier to plan out walking routes when I can see clearly where everything is. It will also help me when I am in a city and have some extra time I can see what is near me that I want to do. This helps me so much because I can plan beforehand and once on holiday I can just enjoy myself.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says it does.

*2019-05-14*

It does exactly what it says it does, and it does it for free. What more could you ask?

### 2/5 — Crash report

*2017-06-16*

It crashes when tapping "Save Image" button and the image does not saved

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting that bug. I have created an entry in our bug tracking system so that this will be addressed.
Best regards

### 3/5 — Pas de support de Apple Pencil

*2016-08-22*

Bonne application mais le Pencil Apple ne marche pas pour dessiné et il faut utiliser le doigt obligatoirement, dommage !
