### 5/5 — Ehehehe

*2020-05-31, version 3.10*

Shehhe

### 1/5 — Pd map

*2015-11-29, version 3.10*

No good 0 rating

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2015-09-08, version 3.10*

I've paid for the premium version and the GPS puts my location in the middle of the Ocean all the time. This doesn't work so look for other traffic Apps.

### 1/5 — luis

*2015-04-19, version 3.10*

it's rubbish. do Not bother

### 3/5 — User Interface

*2015-02-09, version 3.10*

Aside from the user interface and lack of support screen usage wise above an iPhone 4s, having independent control of map source server and route information from different providers is incredible.

If the developer would maintain the application better, this would be an outstanding app!

### 3/5 — Fix bug

*2014-10-30, version 3.10*

This version is not compatible with ios 8, i can't zoom and pan the map any more, please fix it ASAP

### 1/5 — PD Maps

*2013-06-07, version 3.10*

Do not waste your money on this app!

### 3/5 — Good app for offline maps but not for navigation

*2013-05-29, version 3.10*

Offline maps are a great feature. Now come the "but"s. First, it's not optimized for retina on iPad 4. Tiny letters are just impossible to read. It needs to have x2 or even x4 zoom in the options or something.

Second, it doesn't create routes any more (Google is set as route provider). Interfaces must have changed. This app needs upgrade!

### 1/5 — No search

*2013-04-29, version 3.10*

Useless

### 1/5 — The term is crippleware

*2013-04-24, version 3.10*

Despit somewhat erratic operation, it mosyly does what needs to be done. Then after a few days test driving, a window pops up informing me that only premium users are allowed to view traffic data. If you need traffic data on the cheap, this app isn't it.
