### 3/5 — Descent wish they’d put some work in

*2026-07-19, version 2.3.2*

Decent and stable. Though once they did decide to cancel all my nautical charts without warning mid voyage.  This app has been around for ages so it’s hard to understand why parts remain so poorly designed.  Like printing maps, not having a ruler, the utterly awful method of plotting and editing routes and the Kafkaesque challenge of searching through years of digital App Store folders trying to work out which one you own. Come on guys.

### 5/5 — Great Navigation & Plan

*2026-07-18, version 2.3.2*

Great app, I use for both mountain biking and off road with the Jeep. Great for both planning routes and navigation whilst out 👍

### 5/5 — Great value for money Land or Sea

*2026-07-06, version 2.3.2*

Weather you use the free base map or pay for O/S maps for a year or UK Nautical charts for navigation at see this app is great. O/S maps can be available for the whole of the Uk as can the Nautical charts.

I used the Nautical charts to navigate a friend's Yacht into Dartmouth, when his navigation system failed a mile out to sea.

I've used the app with o/s mapping around the UK from mountain to feild. Can't fault it.

For both o/s and nautical you can create routes and waypoints.

For Nautical navigation the charts are excelent. But don't forget to download them before venturing off shore beyond the cellular network range. Nautical side is basic but accurate. You have to pay a lot more to get better.

### 3/5 — Reliable but not always up to date

*2026-07-05, version 2.3.2*

Although still the most stable offline nav tool, it’s getting long in the tooth. I have been hiking and travelling in remote places, Vic High Country and other national parks, the maps are getting pretty outdated now. Wouldn’t mind buying an updated map. Not a subscription. Also, when most cars now have Apple carplay, this is a sore missing feature as the map is only enjoyable on a bigger screen. So once again: solid app, great offline tool. More recent updated maps should be available even if Apple Carplay is not going to be an option, new Explorer maps are needed. The Topo maps are fine but the bigger Explorer 4WD maps are old. Give us some options please!

### 5/5 — Good functional app

*2026-07-04, version 2.3.2*

I use MM for sailing and having tried many of the other well established as well as up and coming apps, I still keep coming back to MM.
It is easy to use and well thought out. I like being able to easily plan trips on my PC and then sync routes for final adjustment on my iPad when on board. I can then easily manage and monitor the passage.
Only downside is the AIS integration, which is ridiculously expensive.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-15, version 2.2.1*

This is the best there is, you can trust wherever you go.
I fully endorse this mapping app.

### 5/5 — Nice mapping tool

*2026-05-10, version 2.2.1*

Does just what I need and does it nicely

### 5/5 — No demands to subscribe to content are welcome

*2026-04-14, version 2.2.1*

I appreciate that Memory Map allows me to use mapping I have paid for without constant prompts to subscribe to the opportunity to access paid for content.

### 5/5 — Reliable and useful

*2026-04-13, version 2.2.1*

Great app-use it constantly for adventure motorcycling. Fantastic on the tablet for route planning.

### 5/5 — One of the last non-subscription mapping options

*2026-04-04, version 2.2.1*

If you want OS maps or similar, Memory Map may just be the last bastion of subscription-free options. I moved when ViewRanger died and have not regretted it. The presence of desktop and phone versions is great too. My only regret is that the historical maps are no longer available as I would love to have access to those. Seeing how the landscape changes over time can be fascinating. If you want a good mapping application that supports multiple maps, this is probably your best option on iPhone.
