Being able to see where the Metro line run was also super helpful. ### 4/5 — ... *2014-02-06* It was good for the first time but now it's not working, after I bought it for money ### 3/5 — Париж *2013-04-26* Пойдет ### 3/5 — Close, but... *2013-04-02* Nice scalable maps, even offline, but the instructions and interface for routing are not clear or intuitive. This should be easy to fix. ### 2/5 — На 3 с минусом *2013-03-17* Карта не понравилась. Нет номеров домов, нет подписанных станций метро, пользоваться неудобно. ### 4/5 — Tremendously helpful if you need offlin map *2012-11-01* I visited Paris for a week, and this app was a lifesaver. It lets me find my current location on the map of Paris, *with no Internet access*. It has an overlay that shows Metro stations. You can search for addresses (though not "Eiffel Tower"). You can get a route between locations. There are a few problems. One day, the app stopped displaying map images, and would not recover until I deleted the app and reinstalled it. It is not easy enough to tell it to calculate a route starting at "my location". It does not know where "Eiffel Tower" is. But these complaints are small compared to how useful this app has been to me during my week in Paris (when no Paris mobile phone store would sell me a SIM that would give me Internet access on my unlocked AT&T iPhone 4S). ### 3/5 — Good, but improvement needed *2012-11-01* Here are the issues: [IOS 5.1.1] - crashes sometimes - only portrait layout supported - doesn't support background mode - every time you switch back to it, loads for a few seconds and starts from the very beginning And as for positive - it is totally offline and relatively convenient for use. Hope the developers fix issues soon. ### 1/5 — Ugliest Interface *2012-10-20* I'm updating my review for the version 4.1, which has just come out. But wow, it's worse than ever: This app now has an advertisement for another map called "True Maps 3 - Worldwide Offline Maps, Tap here to get it..." - This advertisement uses up two-line space(!) of the top of the front screen, and it does not go away no matter what you do, perhaps until you buy it? (I don't know, because I would never buy anything from this maker again, and I'm deleting this app as soon as I finish writing this update.) - This app is still not multi task compliant, so if you switch to any other program and come back, it relaunches itself again. In this age and day, it's a little lame. - But my main objection is still the same as before that this offline map is the ugliest map I've ever seen, because if you zoom in to the max, you will see that small streets are actually connected by series of sausage shapes that are not blended to each other as if they are last minute lazy additions. - Then there is this big ugly triangle shape that always sit at the bottom of the screen all the time, which sole function is to call up a large tool box. I did not think it would be so disturbing when I first saw the sample screen shot here at iTunes Store. When I saw it on my own phone, it WAS disturbing, because it hides large portion of the screen unnecessarily, and it's simply ugly. - What's wrong with just creating a neat tool box strip at the bottom of the screen like most other apps so that you don't need to tap the screen just to call them up? If hiding the tool box is important to maximize the screen, wouldn't it much better to create a small icon, instead of this huge thing, at the corner of the screen so that the screen CAN BE actually maximized? (Then of course, you must take out the 2-line advertisement to maximize the screen, which is so unfair for us paid customers!) - Finally, let me tell you that I use many other map apps such as OffMaps2, OpenMaps Pro, Paris2Go, London2Go, CityMaps2Go, which are all capable of offline GPS tracking. So when I say that this app is ugliest, I'm comparing this with these other apps. ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time, no keyboard in Search *2012-10-15* I'm on an iPhone 5. App crashes 4 or 5 times before it opens every time. Also discovered tonight that you cannot actually Search because clicking into the Search text box doesn't open the dang keyboard. What a basic functionality miss. Lame. ### 3/5 — Проблема *2012-10-04* Приложение не открывается((( ### 1/5 — Worked for a while *2012-10-02* Worked for a while, then it started crashing. Deleted and reinstalled. Still crashes. Too bad. It was terrific while it worked. If it starts working dependably again, will up the rating. I hope they fix it soon. Leaving for Paris in a week. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A truly terrible map *2018-06-01* Forget trying to zero in on a neighborhood or walk down a street. All details blur or disappear. Useless. ### 1/5 — Says free but.... *2017-02-09* I wanted this to use offline. So far I have not been able to use on or offline. Says that costs $4.99 So I don't see that I got anything. Would give no star at this point or am I missing something... ### 1/5 — Z *2015-09-29* Do not buy premium version! This app doesn't work properly... Lots of bugs, always crashing etc... ### 1/5 — Does not work, waste of money *2015-09-06* "Drag the poi" does not work. Poorly organized app that is essentially useless. ### 1/5 — No searching in map *2015-04-25* Doesn't allow you to search for places on the map. Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Не покупать!!! *2015-04-18* Не покупать ни в коем случае!! Офлайн не работает!! Все оч неудобно, короче потраченные за зря деньги ### 1/5 — Problems on screen *2014-08-11* A lot of extra yellow and red lines on the screen, not related to the map. Looks like a bug. ### 1/5 — Х *2014-03-16* Вранье, все платное ### 1/5 — Ужас ! *2013-05-25* Адреса не соответствуют фактическим !!! Глючит. ### 1/5 — Пидорасы *2013-02-13* Пидорасы привязали к покупке! Гондоны! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It helps even after many trips to Paris. *2014-05-13* Browsing this map will help you find some corner of Paris that you didn't know existed. ### 5/5 — Very Handy for Travel *2014-03-19* A great, detailed offline map of Paris with much info on attractions. No need for using a costly data plan while out of the country. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2013-09-03* Exactly what I was looking for. A map that becomes more detailed as you zoom in..... WITHOUT the Internet connection. Perfect for traveling. ### 5/5 — Paris - Offline Map *2013-06-05* Incredibly useful while in Paris without cellular service! Saved us time (and embarrassment of unfolding a huge map in the middle of the sidewalk). ### 5/5 — Удобное приложение для путешественников! *2013-01-25* Отличное приложение, особенно если вы путешествуете и не хотите тратить много денег на online карту! ### 5/5 — F *2013-01-04* Good ### 5/5 — Отлично! *2012-10-02* Нравится! ### 5/5 — Norm *2012-10-01* Нормальное приложение, думаю поможет, когда во Францию поеду ### 5/5 — Cool! *2012-09-12* Very cool! ### 5/5 — Very useful *2012-09-10* This works extremely well. I travel to Paris on business quite a bit; this map helps me get to the nearest metro easily. If you add a free metro map app, you have everything you need to get around Paris. A plus is that this map works well without using cellular data which is extremely expensive for roaming overseas. It is worth the price. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
