Nothing too exciting this time, just a few minor bug fixes.

The developers seem to have stopped working on it

I’ve emailed support, offered a lot of input, and even sent screen recordings of bugs in action. It’s 11 months without an update. This developer seems to have abandoned the app. Might be time to switch to Beli or So Good.

So glad I found this app!

I love this app! It’s a great alternative to Google maps for organizing places I want to go. I like that you can create custom lists. A suggestion: I would love to be able to label places with emojis on the map, so instead of looking at the map and seeing a bunch of pins and hearts, there could be separate icons for each of my lists. I would also love to be able to put my lists in a custom order. Right now when I make a new list, the spot that it gets put into is completely random which is a little frustrating. And finally, I would love if friends could see my saved places and lists automatically without me having to send them a link.

Think the developers gave up on this app

Had an issue and wrote to the developers with no response. Feels like maybe this app was abandoned so wouldn’t invest too much time into it.

Not recommended, it’s pointless

You can do most of what this app does in Apple or Google maps. Apple Maps gives great guides and very private. Who knows what this app does with my data, it’s free so you are the product. Only difference is adding friends but Apple and Google maps has so much more data, reviews, guides and lists. Sorry but no point to this app. Just another app to have for nothing.

Response from developer

Hi there! We're sorry you don't find value in our product, but we're glad that you are satisfied with using Google or Apple Maps. We do want to be clear—we state very clearly in our Privacy Policy (https://north.industries/privacy) how we use your data. We never sell user data, and we use leading practices to protect and secure your data. We will, at some point, introduce premium features for North that users can optionally pay for, if they see value. This will be our revenue model—we will never monetize our user's data. We also invite you to try a few of our features that differentiate significantly from Google and Apple Maps. With North, you can overlay your friends pins on your map, or follow along in realtime as they add new places. Smart Lists also make it easy to build automatically-updating lists with places that meet your specified filters, meaning no more manual list management. And list filtering, collaboration, and publishing are far more powerful than on either Apple or Google Maps.

A dream!

As someone who was constantly Googling and Instagram searching the best spots for coffee or cocktails anytime I went to a new city—North takes all the hard work out of finding the best places, even in my own hometown! I no longer have to keep silly lists in my Notes app. I also love being able to collaborate and share with friends to get recommendations and keep track of where I’ve been. Massive round of applause!
