Tried many times and still the same. I’m using iPhone 14 Pro Max I’ll change the rating when the issue is fixed ### 2/5 — 赶快在iOS端更新 *2024-10-19, version 1.2.300* 请尽快在iOS端更新。 已经二年不更了，放弃了？ ### 4/5 — Needs Work *2024-09-29, version 1.2.300* Love most things about it except one major thing. Can’t get it to work it apple CarPlay. I use gps for work and need Apple CarPlay support. ### 2/5 — 不更新了，不要了吗？国内地图内容也没有吗？ *2024-09-25, version 1.2.300* 别放弃啊，多好的软件，啥时候能和安卓版本的齐起来啊 ### 4/5 — 迫切需要CarPlay！再接再厉！华为地图！ *2024-09-21, version 1.2.300* 我在阿联酋，亲测可以使用。离线地图也比较新。 不过，迫切需要支持CarPlay！ ### 4/5 — Need update *2024-09-20* The app is not suitable for iso 18 we need update ### 3/5 — Long time didn’t get update *2024-08-17, version 1.2.300* 哥 真得更新一下iphone端的版本吧 你自己鸿蒙版都出到哪里了 这iphone上的是一下不更新啊😓 ### 3/5 — 提个建议 *2024-07-03, version 1.2.300* 在输入墨尔本的地址的时候，不显示区名是不行的。 比如输入255 whitehorse road , 后面备选地址没有Balwyn或者什么区，没有区地址是会错的 ### 1/5 — Disappointingly useful! *2024-05-28* Hope to see the disappointing experience improve one day soon. Currently fails to function correctly in its home country of origin. This is May 2024, where Amap, Baidu map, even Google Map* and Apple map do a relatively great job providing service coverage within China. Launching another map App to compete must meet the current experience of the mainstream, in the least, else why is it even here? *Where accessible, needs an external network connection to function. ### 1/5 — 为什么没有中国地图数据 *2024-05-06, version 1.2.300* 安卓版本都已经正式上线了，苹果一年没更新了，也该更新了吧 ### 1/5 — Updata please👏 *2024-03-18, version 1.2.300* Be quickly，OK？ ### 3/5 — Old maps *2024-02-29, version 1.2.300* Can you make application like on Android ?
