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 ### 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! ### 4/5 — I like it *2013-02-05, version 3.10* The maps are clear and easy to use. The whole world is available in several map formats. I think it will be very helpful on my next trip to Europe so I only have to take my iPad mini instead of lots of paper maps. I hit the $ to see what it was and was given several opportunities to cancel. I wasn't charged. Although I think may go ahead and pay the $2.99 so I can try out the offline feature. ### 2/5 — Ripped off.. *2012-12-19, version 3.10* This is a scam to still your money..I don't know how the heck I was charge 2.99. Seriously. Where does this app description says that they will charge..you should be ashamed.,this is how you are going to make business. I don't think you are going to get very far. People don't like to be scam. Very bad..how I should rate this bull.. ### 1/5 — This app is a scam *2012-12-14, version 3.10* This app should not be used. It is a rip-off. It begs for $2.99 when you hit the $ button. If you hit "No" it charges you anyway. This app should be taken off the App Store. ### 1/5 — Scam *2012-12-08, version 3.10* If I could give negative stars, I would! This app has no functionality, and charges you 2.99 every time you hit the $ button, even if you press "no" ### 1/5 — Does not work *2012-11-22, version 3.10* GPS Location is off and search does not work. ### 1/5 — App buy but not working *2012-11-16, version 3.10* App buy but not working when I search say applewebdata:lSearch.SearchSorry inconvenience ### 1/5 — Not intuitive, very limited *2012-10-30, version 3.10* Agree secret map without key is apt description. Either has very limited functions, or very non-intuitive how to use them, or both. The function to locate me works, & map of area in uk and europe appears as a standard google type map, but the only way i can find to create a route is using drop pins, meaning i have to use another map to find locations i dont already know location of - must be able to search by text too. It also could not do a route from Aviano Italy to Vienna Austria, and other major cities. No way to send feedback from within the app. Have tried several map apps since Apple bombed with their ios6 map app and none work adequately on their own to even get the basic google maps functionality (which had lots of room for improvement still but overall far better than any others yet). ### 1/5 — Not Intuative *2012-10-29, version 3.10* We're all scrambling after the i06 upgrade, for a usable and factual map and this isn't it. Might be ok for droid users? Not like any App-le I've used before. ### 1/5 — Could we have the old google back? *2012-10-27, version 3.10* I could not find any nice map app so far to replace the crappy ios6 map... ### 1/5 — I'M GLAD IT WAS FREE!!! *2012-10-24, version 3.10* Don't know what sort of secret icons and buttons the designer of this app was thinking about when they made it. Perhaps they could label it "TREASURE MAP WITHOUT A KEY". Very poor design, the definition of not user friendly. Oh yeah, almost forgot, it doesn't work either. WOW ### 2/5 — Looks not very good on retina *2012-10-24, version 3.10* And twice i m click that $ sign, cancel the inapp purchase, but it still writing to me that sent request to appstore anyway. Hope not to loose money for that. On iphone 4 it looks not very good because it optimized for lower resolution screens. ### 1/5 — Don't click *2012-10-15, version 3.10* Do not click on that $ sign because it will charge you money. Already delegated this app. get waze instead of this app. ### 1/5 — Pd maps *2012-10-06, version 3.10* Useless!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — PD Maps *2013-06-07, version 3.10* Do not waste your money on this app! ### 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. ### 1/5 — Too small to read *2013-04-10, version 3.10* The retina display "upgrade", made the text too small to read in iPad. The setting section should allow user to change the text size. As a premium user, I'm very dissatisfied with version 3.10. In addition to that, up until today, I still couldn't get the 3D function to work correctly, when will the 3D function be fixed? Last but not least, this app failed to find location of places very often. If you can't search for a map, it's useless. ### 1/5 — Where is the simple Google Maps for iPhone? *2013-03-30, version 3.10* This is a sorry app that doesn't deserve a star. Using it is like trying to use a dinosaur. It's as intuitive as the original WIndows was or the new one is. Such apps shouldn''t be allowed. ### 1/5 — Avoid *2013-01-07, version 3.10* Makes Apple's Maps look helpful. ### 1/5 — Take off App Store *2013-01-03, version 3.10* I can't spend more money. I didn't know what the $ thing was so I wanted to see. Know I have to pay money!! I even hit no!! If you are reading this and you are trying to decide to get it. Don't get it or make the mistake I made. I don't want to give it stars but I have to. GET " google maps "OR "google earth" THEY ARE FREE. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ehehehe *2020-05-31, version 3.10* Shehhe ### 5/5 — Good app for traffic conditions *2013-03-11, version 3.10* Not sure why people are bagging it but I live in Melbourne (aust) and the app is using Google Maps. Its free. I don't use it for navigation purposes I use the google maps app for that. This app I use for traffic conditions. It took me ages to actually try it but when I did I was surprised with its accuracy. It's spot on. I would say the results would vary depending on how and where the traffic info is being sourced from, but in Melbourne's case the source is top notch and the app works. I frequently use it to check traffic conditions and its always on the money. Great app! ### 5/5 — Better than traffic copters *2013-01-10, version 3.10* Professional chauffeur. Best app for choosing fastest route. Safest way to travel. Bravo. ### 5/5 — Not as good as gMaps better than aMaps *2012-11-10, version 3.10* I don't use this for searching for places. But finding out where the hell I am and where London tube stations are. Apple maps are so rubbish that I'm using this. ### 5/5 — All good *2012-09-25, version 3.10* Works fine - I guess some of the older versions were buggy going by some of the reviews :-) Currently using in place of Apples maps under iOS5 until they sort them out. ### 5/5 — Love it. Works great. Needs larger labels for IPad 3 *2012-04-06, version 3.10* This map app is great. I'm using it in Costa Rica and loving it. Only one problem is that the labels look great on my iPhone 4S but are way too small too read on my iPad 3. Please increase the text on the maps for the iPad 3 just like you did for the iPhone 4. Gracias! ### 5/5 — Great offline maps! *2012-03-10, version 3.10* Best app for offline viewing. I have downloaded about 10 now and this is certainly the best and most detailed maps. I will be using this app for my trip to asia. A recommended improvement would be to have bookmarked pins. Thanks develpers! Keep up the good work!! ### 5/5 — Good and usefull apps *2012-01-22, version 3.10* But expensive ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed. *2011-10-26, version 3.10* Currently I work in an area where there are NO MAPS, NO INTERNET, no nothing. The only way to navigate for me is this app - I cached google's satelite view for the whole area and now always have it with me in offline mode. Compared to having no gps navigator at all - this is superb. A+ ### 5/5 — Top notch app *2011-06-11, version 3.10* A greT app for the UK. Was able to plan a 200mile trip with just a few clicks after installing! Now that is good! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
