### 2/5 — Great First Experience using app

*2026-08-24, version 17.12.0*

Great guidance. Did not match the trail in real life in a couple of places but managed to re-route quickly :)

### 3/5 — Login com conta OSM?

*2026-08-23*

Não há opção de login com a conta -email- (no meu caso, hotmail) do OpenStreetMap. 
A opção de login com número telefônico não funciona há muito tempo…

### 4/5 — العراق كوردستان

*2026-08-21, version 17.12.0*

بين الجبال ماينطي موقع صحيح

### 3/5 — Update

*2026-08-17, version 17.12.0*

It was perfect before I would’ve given it five stars, but the update has ruined it. It’s become fat and clunky now. I want the original back still better than Google Maps though

### 3/5 — Incessant ‘pro’ ad’s have ruined it, better open source alternatives exist

*2026-08-06, version 17.12.0*

This is a good navigator app but lately it has been pushing its subscription model hard.

This app uses free map data and its other features are good but there are free to use open source and private alternatives (organic maps etc) that use the same map data and achieve the same service.

I’d recommend the others just to avoid the ads in this one

### 5/5 — Just needs one thing…

*2026-08-02, version 17.12.0*

Amazing, 5/5. Would be very appreciated to see Apple Watch support, great for emergency’s.

### 5/5 — Лучшее приложение для путешествий

*2026-07-18, version 17.11.1*

Отличный навигатор для наших поездок! Уже не первый раз летаем/ездим из России в Китай и пользуемся только MapsMe — ни разу не подвели. Всё интуитивно понятно, работает отлично даже без интернета. Очень удобное приложение, рекомендую!

### 5/5 — Get to where you're going

### 1/5 — Cannot set home address / view basic info

*2026-08-24, version 17.12.0*

A/ I am located in Western Australia, I cannot set a house home address. Only the road name.
B/ basic feature of all other apps i.e. shortcut names, traffic and speedometer are locked behind the very high paywall. 
C/ I’d pay a one off price, however- this is very high. 
D/ Positive, app is extremely fast completed to other map apps.

### 1/5 — ruzzian software

*2026-08-21, version 17.12.0*

If you want your tracking data to be exposed , sure go ahead and use it

### 1/5 — العراق

*2026-08-20, version 17.12.0*

السهم طويل

### 1/5 — Já foi ótimo

*2026-07-31, version 17.12.0*

Quando era gratuito já foi ótimo agora somente pago

### 1/5 — Very poor directions

*2026-07-30, version 17.12.0*

This app should be banned. Useless and gives awful routing info. Dangerous at most, sent me down a one way street opposite direction.

### 1/5 — Africa is not the same size as Greenland

*2026-07-24, version 17.12.0*

I think it’s time for you to abandon the old map for one that shows the true relative size of each continent. What you are showing is inaccurate and racist.

### 1/5 — Pop ups

*2026-07-21, version 17.12.0*

Stop with all the popups while I’m trying to use the app!!!

### 1/5 — Hi

*2026-07-20, version 17.11.1*

Hi there is some wrong

The route to Al-Muthanna Gas Station (Super Fuel) is incorrect.

From Al-Allawi intersection in Baghdad, the correct route is to turn left and continue straight on the ground road. Do not take Al-Shalchi Bridge, as it leads in the wrong direction ✅

### 1/5 — Thumbs down

*2026-07-12, version 17.11.1*

I had hopes for the app, but it looks kinda useless. Cannot even find well known landmarks like Mount Rushmore even pasting the full address from Google Maps

### 1/5 — Annoying rating box

*2026-07-08, version 17.11.1*

Maybe you should let me use the app before you ask me for rating…
