Extremely useful!
I’ve been using this app all over the world for 7 years. It’s been a life saver! Where there’s no cell service, and no maps on GPS devices, this always works. I know exactly where I am and how to get to where I need to go. I won’t be without it!
Highly detailed for remote places
Kudos to everyone who loads data into these maps. The off road routes are incredibly accurate. Some of the routes are simply worn out paths in taller grass. It definitely helped me with navigating to more remote places (Africa, Central Asia, and New Mexico). In urban areas the maps were accurate with hotels and hospitals even in smaller towns and villages. I used this with other cell data map apps (with I’m guessing more fresh info), which created nice overlays. Where this app really helped me was with planning an overland journey through remote areas and when cell coverage dropped. I used this with bad elf, a sat gps that plugs in your smart phone or tablet. If you have your maps already downloaded the bad elf will show where you are on the map. I wouldn't use this for commuting but its a big help for off the beaten path type of adventure. I hope this helps!

Amazing!
By far the best and easiest map to use when out in the bush. No internet connection needed. Download the area where you are heading and boom. Get all the trails and your location with impressive accuracy.
Terrible
Not a true topo map. More of a street map with topo markings. No trails, no smaller bodies of water and no better than mapquest. Plus they have a stupid tile system you have to purchase to keep using it. Absolute garbage.
Great Program
This is an awesome topographic map app! I wish I could give it 10 stars!
Feedback
I'd like to see a street view and a 3d aspect on buildings I also think that you should team up with Google maps to get the details
Great simple program!
Love it. Use it all the time. So efficient and simple...it's all I need to go 'deep' into the bush, or waaaay out of cell range and still have an exceptional reference to my location. Cheers from Yukon, Canada(bush country)!!
Great App!
This app is just what it says it is. It provides a better traditional map experience than Google maps in many ways. It is just a clear map with extraordinary detail. So far, I have found it to be accurate. In fact, in a new subdivision, Mapster has the actual, current and correct street names whereas Google has the old proposed street names!
It's a really well thought out app with a built in user manual that gives lots of good background, how to contribute, and a lot of interesting detail in how it is put together and works.
When paired with a GPS receiver, the tracking is smooth, quick and responsive. It updates position frequently. The tracking with this map is much quicker and smoother than any other GPS nav app or system I have used.
The only complaint I have is that at the highest level of detail the text is hard to read. You can zoom in and out to read it but it would be nice if that could be made a little more readable without doing that.
I highly recommend this app, either by itself or with a GPS receiver. I've been using it on an iPad Mini with Retina.

Lack lustre
Lacks a lot of "should have" features. Too many nag screens. The daily tile download is to restrictive to be able to make judgement on the app. There is no key for the map symbols. Don't seem to be able to turn off the "Blue location circle". It has promise but falls a long way short of being useful yet.

Great
You can tell were you are even without Internet, witch is great if your lost and don't have service
Mapster meets my objective
I needed a simple iPhone app that would download a map of a trail that I was lookong forward to hiking, see my position with respect to the trail and be able to do it without a data connection. Mapster does exactly that.
Surprisingly good!
I like to go out into the woods and walk around. Not sure why, I just do. Find old footpaths and see where they go, that kind of thing. I've probably tried around a hundred different mapping/GPS apps in the last couple of years and this is one of only 2 or 3 that I continue to find useful. No matter where I am, it finds every little trail and almost always shows me something useful and interesting without the hassle of similar apps. I'm reviewing it because I think it probably gets lost in the shuffle of sleeker/better marketed/pricier apps. And that's a shame, because there's a whole hidden world of prehistory just off the side of the road, and this little app knows just how to get there.

Handy offline map
This is a great map program, always my first "go to" option.
My only minor gripe is that often large city names are hidden by nearby local suburb names.

Garbage
Negative five stars! This map data is so old that a 12 year old subdivision does not show up. Imagine trying to find a new road or trail. This is crap. Do not download
Great app, much improved
Once you get used to how the contours are presented this is quite useful. Maybe some kind of gradient explanation would be useful. But it is still good.
Easy
Easy to use would like to see more contour readings other than that quite good
Where is Israel?
Why don't you recognize Israel as a country? I am deleting your app
Not good
It crashes continuously, cannot search for locations, limited use if you don't subscribe, unable to just buy it... if you want to use it you are hooked to either monthly or yearly subscriptions.
Works well
Off to Austria walking and a great aid to be able to download maps before going and not have to use roaming data allowance. Also great to be able to control the cache size. Must admit not overly keen on the colour scheme but only a minor gripe, hence not 5 stars
Old Map Data
Attractive rendering of map, but data is well over 6 months old. Openstreetmap improves on a daily basis, why software developers spend time on an attractive map display, then fail to keep to the underlying data somewhat current is beyond me.
