Just as bad as Google Maps

Gives me the same garbage useless results as Google Maps and doesn’t even show all the shop names when you zoom in like Google Maps would.

The resurgence of the titan of early 2000’s navigation.

What can I say besides I love when a company takes a stand against obvious evil. The fact that not only did Mapquest not bend the knee but is now using the resurgence to make more improvements aimed at actually helping people with knowing where big brother is looking and where to go to cast their vote to put an end to the rising authoritarianism. Mapquest is the goat for nav and for their stance.

Whole lot better than Google and Apple

Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario baby!!!!!

Voting locations too?!? Bravo!

I heard about MapQuest not renaming lakes & gulfs. I heard about flock cameras being tracked. And then I downloaded it to find shortcuts and one of them was voting locations. I’m here for this.

Happily Using Mapquest

Loving the changeover to Mapquest. Making an intentional effort to use it for every drive no matter how far. 😊 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩

Better GPS apps exist

Not a fan of this one. Some names are outdated, glitchy, bad UI.

It ain't perfect, yet, but...

It'll get there. I paid for a subscription hoping it will support the developers enough to continue making improvements. I'd like to see speed limits on-screen even when turn-by-turn navigation isn't being used. That would be beneficial for exploring when you're more likely to miss a posted sign.

❤️ they’ve done it again

I had to leave an updated review; they keep adding helpful features that no other navigation company has the guts to implement—map quest simply can’t be bought off and it’s important we support the work they do. thank u and keep up the good work!

Great interface, thanks for adding public transit! Please make public transit filterable by mode

Thank you for adding public transit! Please can you add a way to filter out modes of Transit (for example if you only want to travel by Subway light rail/ferry/bus but not on the others)

Previous:
Love the interface and it’s easy to use. The food nearby option is a real bonus, as well is the Yelp integration. However, as someone who lives in a city, I would use this much more if it had public transit options, including it subways and bus routes, as well as biking routes.

No iPad version

Not optimized for iPad. You have to hold your iPad in portrait mode like a giant iphone.

Some Issues

Left Apple and Google after their capitulation. Love the majority of the app experience, but search functions are useless half the time. It won’t show any results for multiple locations, and when it does, half the time they’re out of date. I shouldn’t have to look up addresses for businesses constantly.

Can we have a filter function to show places like restaurants that are currently open?

Just as good as the others

You get a cute lil avatar, correctly labeled bodies of water, and flock locations. I don’t use boot licking navs anymore. ✊🏻

Awesome

Amazing app, so glad to see it getting some updates! Love the Questies, this is my favorite map app

It’s everything I need

I’m so happy I found MapQuest again. It takes me where to want to go and I like the camera detection. I noticed there’s a little oval that says “Vote” and it gives me all the information on voting in my area. That’s a great resource. Thank you MapQuest!

Great app!!!

This is so great. I haven’t noticed any difference between this and Google maps it works just fine and I’m sticking with it.

Incorrect building locations

It’s unfortunately unreliable. Too many times I’ve tried navigating to a business only to have navigation end at a traffic light/intersection and the business isn’t in sight. I really wanted to like this app as an alternative to Google Maps and I love the little navigation characters so I hope they can improve this big issue so I can use it again one day.

No bike paths

I want to use this app, but I’m in a major Canadian city and it has no knowledge of the bike path network. It’s telling me to bike on busy 6-lane collector roads when I know there are paved river pathways that link the same two locations for cyclists.

I hope to return when this is improved.

Makes Maps Political

Your ad campaign is literally that you refuse to properly name locations like the Gulf of America. politics have no place in maps. One star.

Great app and developers

I recently stumbled on the Mapquest app and have been using it with Carplay. I've been amazed at how quickly the app developers have ramped up and made significant changes quickly. Looking forward to more great enhancements.

Maps of Choice

I downloaded Mapquest because they did not change the names of geographic features. I actually deleted Google and Apple Maps because they did. I even subscribed to the ad free version. I love the fact that I have a quest or rather than just an arrow!
