### 4/5 — 感謝持續更新，請加強以下功能

*2017-07-17, version 13.18*

感謝持續更新，但請加強以下功能：

1. Plus 系列解析度顯示是否可優化？而非直接套用720p放大。

2. 請增加導航音量單獨設定功能。

感謝

### 3/5 — 搜尋地址不能用!!!

*2013-10-26, version 13.0.2*

為什麼更新版本到13.0.2, 搜尋地址功能不能用, 例如: 搜尋"台中市北屯區松竹路一段", 顯示出來的不是"國道", "快速", 就是"交流道", "省道", 不然就是其它道路, 和要求的搜尋結果完全不一樣, 試過幾個地址搜尋, 完全顯示不出來所要求的道路地址, 請修正~~~

### 4/5 — Not a bad GPS

*2013-02-22*

Easy to use, but can be more accurate

### 3/5 — 应增加中文简体输入

*2013-01-29*

方便大陆人使用

### 4/5 — Bug

*2012-05-03, version M9.1.5*

2012第一季更新後測速提示會永無止盡的播放 是bug巴

### 4/5 — No bike mode! But fair enough...

*2012-04-04, version M9.1.4*

No bike mode. It's such a pity. Sometimes I need to ride bike with m9 but m9 always lead me to "No-Bike" route. Hope this function can be added soon.

### 2/5 — 可不可手寫輸入地址，而不用注音符號呢？

*2012-02-06, version M9.1.4*

可不可手寫輸入地址，而不用注音符號呢？

### 2/5 — 系統語音導航有問題

*2012-01-29, version M9.1.4*

目前語音導航無法直接使用
反倒是目的地設定好後
跳出軟體後   透過iPhone的多工狀態重新登入導航
原有的語音導航、路徑規劃及預估時間等等訊息才會正確顯示
相當的不方便   希望能早日改良這個問題  感謝！

### 4/5 — Excellent product

*2012-01-08, version M9.1.4*

Bought one before my trip to Taiwan recently. It works well with minor problem. The map is up to date and search function is easy to use. However, the recording can't be turn on most of the time. If operating manual or web link to it is provided, it would helps a lot.

### 2/5 — 無法執行

*2011-05-08, version M9.0.1*

我是3gs
不支援新工能沒關係！但是不可以連用都不行用阿！

### 4/5 — Please

*2011-03-16, version M8.2.2*

### 1/5 — 更新後 一直閃退 請維修

*2014-01-31, version 13.0.4*

更新後 一直閃退 請維修

### 1/5 — 死當

*2012-12-13, version M10.0.1*

一開機就當，什麼品管，失望

### 1/5 — Please fix!!!!!

*2011-05-04*

Taking forever to wait and still couldn't locate my current location, crash couple times, waste of my phone battery and my time!!!! Please please fix. Thanks

### 1/5 — This program is useless literally!

*2010-09-15*

Even though it upgraded to 7.05, I could not find it more accurate and fluent compared to the previous version. Don't buy it unless Maction company can improve its product soon!

### 1/5 — Why?

*2010-08-06*

I bought a M7 version, why the Icon becomes M6 ?? and after I restore from backup .It showed I am not purchased and I need to download it again. ....

### 1/5 — 濫軟體

*2010-06-14, version 0*

一顆星都不值的軟體! M6一堆問題沒修正。
現在又要出M7再收一次費用,問題依舊。要購買的人請小心。

### 1/5 — 無意義的升級

*2010-05-16, version 0*

三不五十升個級，結果，重要的問題還是沒修正，還越來越肥。這次更過份了，升級就為了讓人另外花錢買圖資…

### 2/5 — there is room for improvement 地圖準確，但介面、功能仍有改進空間

*2022-07-30*

Update 2022:這兩年來開Papago的機率一直下降，老舊的介面和從不改進的錯誤已經讓人退避三舍。該是說再見的時候了！

使用Papago超過10年，在台灣使用還是比其他國外導航準確，可是介面老舊真的可以再改善。 功能上也發現在靜止地圖狀態，位置游標的定向（指南針）的功能在水平模式下方向跟垂直模式相反。所以常常在開始導航時，因為不熟悉地理位置而開錯方向。這點真的需要大大改善！ 語音辨識需要在極其安靜的環境才能辨識，邊開車邊用幾乎沒成功過。 
Update 2022: Papagois almost useless these 2 years, not just for its out if date GUI, also for some of its fundamental bugs. I am ready to give up on it！

 Being a Papago user for more than decade. Its map is more accurate of use in Taiwan than the other brands, but the interface and functionality are really out of date. Navigation cursor(compass) has opposite direction in landscape mode, You might make a wrong turn as navigation started, especially when you just came out from parking lot in not so familiar areas. Definitely need improvement on this. Voice input needs very quiet environment, it has never worked in driving condition.

### 2/5 — very disappointed and virtually useless

*2013-12-31*

I have to say, I bought it for the Taiwan trip, and for the last 5 days, none of the places I tried to navigate to either by search major landmarks nor entering exact address could be found. The input is extremely tricky, you cannot just enter an address string and expect it to find a match. If a street number isn’t listed in its database, it cannot be found. Other times, multiple destinations were found but non were correct ones. The map itself is rather out of date. While traveling streets that has been there for many years ( confirmed with locals ) I was shown driving in the middle of buildings. Yes, this is the latest update 13.0.3 released early december.  I would recommend avoid this app as your offline navigation app for Taiwan. As a side node for those traveling from states side, an unlocked AT&T iphone 4/4S cannot be used in Taiwan. The sim cards cannot be recognized. An unlocked iphone purchased from Apple store at full price w/o carrier contract worked fine, however. I think this might be the frequency band that’s not supported, as the same unlocked AT&T phone worked fine with some other asian countries.

### 2/5 — Not too bad but isn't worth it

*2012-05-18*

Bad quality display, doesn't support iPhone's keyboard, and icon is toooooo bad.
This app is cheap( compare with other navi app), but you'd  better buy others.

### 5/5 — Better than xx王

*2016-02-14*

### 5/5 — Weidan1112

*2013-07-27*

Good direction

### 5/5 — Good app

*2013-06-30*

Good app for me!

### 5/5 — The best GPS you can find in Taiwan

*2013-05-02, version 12.0.5*

Regularly update maps with full blown functions. Highly recommend to anyone who travels in Taiwan.

### 5/5 — Good

*2013-03-02*

Good

### 5/5 — Very good

*2013-02-01*

Indispensable if you are new to Taipei

### 5/5 — 改的越來越棒了! 加油!

*2013-01-01, version M10.0.1*

App become best of best!!!

不斷的在改善~ 現在順暢無比~~

幾個建議:
由於開行車紀錄器, 又加導航~ 放在車子上 大太陽的時候 iphone容易過熱 (我想這是iphone自己本身的散熱問題), 不過軟體是否有省電模式設定, 例如:不要顯示螢幕畫面單存行車記樂器, 至少可以達到降低過熱的效果吧?

另外一個建議, 未來有計劃設計擴充元件嗎, 例如後方行車紀錄鏡頭的配件, 可能這要iphone先改善過熱問題吧~

### 5/5 — Excellent navigation system.

*2011-08-21*

The only problem is that the UI is not for iPhone. It's a direct port from PPC. Hope they can change the UI in later update.

### 5/5 — Good apps

*2011-04-28*

Nice app, works well. Only thing missing is a Manual in English that explains basic function. Actually I don't even think there is one in Chinese at this time.
Please think about foreigners living in Taiwan. Givre us a user guide.

### 5/5 — 好用...讚!

*2010-05-21*

我覺得趴趴go真很好用.導覽很詳細也沒什麼lag..至於耗電量的問題, 我用的是支援 iPad 10W USB 的車充 Cable. 所以完全不耗電. 可以在 in app 加購 Reality 的確方便. 我建議加購Reality. 導覽更為詳細.
