However, I have some nitpicks with this app. I would like a more modern and sleek user interface, comparing the UI between Google maps and Apple Maps is a night and day difference. I’m not even asking for top of the line features but make it more user-friendly. ### 4/5 — Offline, incognito map *2026-08-16, version 2026.07.23* Great tool. Nice to have something outside the system. Recommend it to all. Hopefully over time it will also show miles rather than just km ### 2/5 — Glitch while updating maps *2026-08-12, version 2026.07.23* Glitch while updating maps. ### 2/5 — Review *2026-08-10, version 2026.07.23* Kinda not user friendly…. ### 5/5 — 录制轨迹 *2026-08-01, version 2026.07.23* 非常好用 ### 5/5 — Succeeds where all else fails *2026-07-28, version 2026.07.23* Offline maps are good to have. OsmAnd is too buggy and frequently stops responding. I found this and I’m very pleased with it. I would really like a quick link to search up a place in the system browser (I use kagi some apps hard link google but it would be nice for a universal search link). ### 5/5 — Awesome 🤩 *2026-07-27* I truly surprised by how useful and accurate this app is during my travels through Idukky and Tamilnadu rural areas. It was incredibly helpful and amazing 🤩 ### 5/5 — Cannot load images and details from imported bookmark *2026-07-26, version 2026.07.15* Hi support, The latest 2 updates cannot load images and details from imported bookmark, would be grateful if could fix this issue. ### 5/5 — Best maps *2026-07-26, version 2026.07.15* Omg, really useful for cyclist if you want to find quicker way to travel through unknown roads or small trails in the parks. I really like it. Plus give you options to download maps and use them offline which is really useful as well as literary shows you so much more information and different trails,roads,places than regular Google or Apple Maps. 5 stars right away. ### 5/5 — Organic Maps *2026-07-25, version 2026.07.15* Free satellite tracking , this is awesome weather overlays and high contrast top all free awesomeness ### 3/5 — No indication of private access or informal *2026-07-25, version 2026.07.15* I use at least 3 days a week for hiking in areas with no mobile data, so downloaded maps are essential. However, private and informal trails (Path or Track) is not indicated (such as by color or faint line), which is risky (people in US have guns!). Update: I suggest red/pink [danger] for private, and faint (e.g. gray instead of black) for “informal” tag [path may disappear] ### 4/5 — Bike navigation doesn’t prefer bike lanes *2026-07-23, version 2026.07.15* This looks like a very promising app overall but as it is currently, bike navigation isn’t very good. It prefers to direct me to ride down a boulevard even when there is a bike path one street over. The bike path isn’t even a detour in this case as it has me cross over it later in the route. I’m able to get it to use the bike path if I put multiple stops along it, so it seems it’s technically able to use it in its route. Obviously this isn’t helpful if I’m going somewhere less familiar. Edit: The path is not highlighted when enabling the cycling layer. I checked the path in OSM and it’s marked as bicycle: designated, foot: designated, highway: cycleway. The other nearby bike path which is marked bicycle:yes does get highlighted in the cycling layer (still doesn’t get used as much as I’d like when routing, but better). ### 5/5 — Common sense *2026-07-22, version 2026.07.15* I got frustrated and fed up with Google. I live in Ny and there is no service on the subway so it’s a game of frustration to pull out my phone and check directions I pulled up only for the app to have reset because of the lack of connectivity. Being able to pull out my laptop at 2:00 am when my phone is dead and there is no WiFi has absolutely saved me a couple of times. ### 2/5 — Changed Developer *2026-07-21, version 2026.07.15* Links to Russia. The original open source development has moved from Organic Maps to CoMaps. Search online to see the detailed historics of this. Would therefore recommend CoMaps over this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Voice navigation does not work *2026-08-18, version 2026.07.23* Tried this app for the first time. The voice did not come on even though the settings were correct. It also showed me to Make u turns when I know the route by heart. Going back to Google Maps. Thought this app would be better. ### 1/5 — Not intuitive IMO *2026-08-11, version 2026.07.23* Couldn’t figure out how to use it. First it made my route backwards, going away from the destination not towards it. Then I couldn’t change the order. Then it asked if I wanted to download a map that wasn’t even where I was. Weird. ### 1/5 — Navigation change *2026-08-09, version 2026.07.23* Now requires location services to provide navigation from point A to point B, defeating the purpose of online maps ### 1/5 — How does this app work???? *2026-08-06, version 2026.07.23* I can’t get it to give me directions. I put the address in and it tells me to select a category. What is the deal? How do you get this app to work???? ### 1/5 — Worst maps *2026-08-01, version 2026.07.23* Can’t get anywhere doesn’t show freeways or step by step directions absolutely horrible app ### 1/5 — I tried *2026-07-26, version 2026.07.15* I tried to use this app and was able to save 10 trails and even saw a map with all 10. But like so many apps, this app tries to be all things to all people - here’s a coffee shop, here’s a gas station- giving all kinds of stuff I don’t want. And it’s not intuitive at all. ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-07-11, version 2026.06.24* It wants to download what it thinks you want instead of where you are. example: trying to see trails in Caribou Wilderness but app keeps trying to download load map of Chico a town 50 miles away. Trashed app. ### 1/5 — do i use it? *2026-07-07, version 2026.06.24* it’s not intuitive ### 1/5 — No Adresses *2026-06-28, version 2026.06.24* What is useful about a map that has no addresses ### 1/5 — Malfeasance *2026-06-26, version 2026.06.01* Was great, until greed started to poke its ugly head.. suggest people take a look at CoMaps instead ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2026-08-13, version 2026.07.23* Simple to use. Detailed and clear maps. Absolutely love this excellent app. ### 5/5 — Love it all *2026-08-13, version 2026.07.23* Great app! ### 5/5 — Перешел с мапсвизми *2026-08-13, version 2026.07.23* Отличные карты, хорошая детализация. ### 5/5 — Feature request: Add photos *2026-08-12, version 2026.07.23* Hi devs, I really appreciate what you’ve done. Just a suggestion — You guys should add photos, maybe let users contribute by uploading photos for locations. This helps give people a way to compare options (right now the app only gives directions, which is holding it back). Hope you consider. Thanks a ton! ### 5/5 — Galicia Spain *2026-08-12, version 2026.07.23* Great resource! Has been right on the mark - for even minor rural paths - routes, throughout Galicia Spain ### 5/5 — Wow, full navigation in airplane mode *2026-08-11, version 2026.07.23* Used this app extensively during our European vacation in both Rome and during a long hike in the Atlas Mountains. Both scenarios allowed total peace of mind. As compared to the big competitor that often cannot function without a data connection, Organic just chugs along and gets you oriented like it should. Well done! ### 5/5 — Good alternative to Google Maps *2026-08-09, version 2026.07.23* This was recommending by Proton for its privacy. Tried it out and worked very well. ### 5/5 — 67 *2026-08-09, version 2026.07.23* cet application me donne envi de manger du tasty crousty ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2026-08-05, version 2026.07.23* Excellent map app: very fast, very easy to use interface, no ads. The overlays are great for outdoor activities & for cities with public transport. Operates faultlessly including being able to drag the map right round the globe. Importing bookmarks/pins from other apps is easy (including the json files produced by Google Takeout). Easy to backup/export pins. Map downloads cover just the right areas: not too big so file sizes are not huge. Thoroughly recommend. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-08-04, version 2026.07.23* Free offline hiking maps with gpx trail import.
