Useless app - don’t bother

Don’t waste your time on this app. I received a free trial and couldn’t get the functionality to make any sense at all. I tried in a couple of different cities but it just didn’t have user focused interface and I found alternatives quickly. Frankly I’m still not sure what solution this was trying to offer but it wasn’t useful to me. I deleted the app after a few days. Yesterday I was charged nearly $100CAD!
I contacted the company to explain that I didn’t use the app and received no notification that I was being charged. They responded quickly but refused to refund even though I explained the situation and contacted them within 1 hour of being charged. I fully expected that they would be understanding but they were unwilling to refund. User beware and if you make the mistake of loading this app please ensure that you cancel completely as I must have missed a step! It will cost you and they won’t help.

UPDATE: I was not charged by Apple I was charged by Mapstr directly. Apple has no record of this charge. The refund needs to come from developer directly.

Great for weekend exploring!

This app has been great! As I scroll thru Instagram or Facebook, people leave reviews of places to check out. I used to take screenshots to try to remember the local gems, but Mapstr has made that SO much easier! Love it!!

Mapstr gratuit à 100% svp

J’adore cette application, ayant très peu de mémoire c’est génial d’avoir toutes mes adresses regroupées à un seul endroit et de pouvoir en chercher des nouvelles sur d’autres cartes. C’est interactif et facile d’utilisation. Mais par pitiééé, mettez en place des pubs ou un autre modèle économique qui ne nous oblige pas à prendre un abonnement parce que personnellement je ne payerai pas un abonnement pour une app que j’utilise à peine 1x par semaine et je n’ai pas envie de supprimer l’app

Response from developer

Merci Laure! Ça fait 10 ans qu’on cherche des alternatives, et on a choisi la plus pérenne à date, mais on est preneur d’autres idées bien sûr !! La pub ne marche pas sur une app que vous utilisez 1x par semaine :)

Need option to replay videos

Needs an option to be able to watch the video that was used to upload the restaurant or activity so that you can see exactly why you were interested before.
