### 3/5 — Great app, but downloaded maps are now very out of date

*2026-07-05, version 6.5.7*

I have used this app for over 10 years and have had few problems with it. It has worked fine on all of my devices over the years, from an iPod 3, iPhone 6S, iPhone 7Plus, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPad Air 1 and iPad Air 5, both online and offline (they load very fast on my iPhone 16 and iPad Air 5, both online and offline)- no problems whatsoever. Yes, some of the downloaded maps are now very old, and the app hasn’t been updated in over 2 years (which is a bit worrying) but still works fine with iOS & iPadOS 26.5.2. I don’t know why so many people seem to have lots of problems - what are they doing wrong?

### 1/5 — A little buggy and downloaded maps are at least 20yrs out of date

*2026-01-03, version 6.5.7*

I have been using this app for about 12 yrs, basic navigation is great, but it’s buggy, cannot always delete routes, difficult to share routes, you have to go through there website to shar, and then it takes an age for the routes to download to your device
Off line maps are very old could be over. 20yrs old.
Map key goes blank if you zoom in on iOS.
I am trying OS map app now £17.50

### 1/5 — Cant even sign up

*2025-11-30, version 6.5.7*

Downloaded, tried to sign up: entered username, email, password. Wheel spins for 2 mins followed by “unknown error”. 

Absolute rubbish. Thank floops for memory map!!!

### 3/5 — Great app, but downloaded maps are now very out of date

*2025-11-21, version 6.5.7*

I have used this app for over 10 years and have had few problems with it. It has worked fine on all of my devices over the years, from an iPod 3, iPhone 6S, iPhone 7Plus, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPad Air 1 and iPad Air 5, both online and offline (they load very fast on my iPhone 16 and iPad Air 5, both online and offline)- no problems whatsoever. Yes, some of the downloaded maps are old, and the app hasn’t been updated in over 2 years (which is a bit worrying). I don’t know why so many people seem to have lots of problems - what are they doing wrong?

### 1/5 — Accidentally bought

*2025-10-20, version 6.5.7*

I accidentally bought this app for 12 months I asked for a refund straight away and was refused! So be careful the app company seem very unhelpful and not at all understanding.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-10-18, version 6.5.7*

When I use on my Mac and click the search button to type in a location or address, the app just closes instantly. I’ve emailed customer services months ago but received no response. Until a new version is out that fixes this it’s not worth buying

### 1/5 — Purchases stopped working!

*2025-09-28, version 6.5.7*

This was quite good when it worked, would show where you were on an OS map and the subscription for those maps was cheap. Route planning was a bit vague at best but gave the idea. But the OS maps suddenly stopped working 3 months into the one year subscription. Without OS maps it’s pretty pointless. I have had no response to my messages asking for this to be fixed!

### 3/5 — Ok for basic use only

*2025-09-01, version 6.5.7*

Been using this app for several years, but recently started to use more of its route functions. However I have to say it’s very poor. It doesn’t snap to paths, and if you want to modify the route it seems impossible other than starting again. Plus you can’t spin the map around using 2 fingers as you can with others.

### 5/5 — Great email support

*2025-07-30, version 6.5.7*

I had an issue to do with the subscription. I contacted support by email wondering whether I’d ever get a reply. They responded quickly and resolved the matter. So no complaints at the moment.

### 1/5 — Not quite what it could be

*2025-05-08, version 6.5.7*

Used to be able to switch to cycle map which was a bit clunky to use but still useful to find safer routes. Now the deal has changed and it is no longer possible to buy maps for life. I had bought several but now one has to pay an annual subscription to cover the entire nation which I do not want which does not honour the original deal. Very disappointing. I will be buying similar app elsewhere.
