I paid $1.99 and I don’t think they downloaded. I paid $9.99 for full maps and I’m still getting the same thing I have gotten with $1.99. I tried to send mail and it didn’t work either. ### 4/5 — Good app for the price *2019-07-16, version 5.0.1* Since it depends on Google Maps much of what you get can be obtained for free (exception is POI data). At this price think of it as a convenient service—they do the work for you and it’s all kept handy in a single easily accessible place. And the service is 5 stars. I asked for 3 maps (one in Ireland and two in South Africa) and in less than 12 hours they were available. Incidentally, it’s not clear in the advert, but the initial install of the Pro version includes 40 standard map downloads. You need to pay again for more. Sat maps also require more payment, 5 for $1.99 as I write this. Seems reasonable considering the work and cost of creation and storage. ### 2/5 — Palm desert *2017-10-12, version 2.0.6* I can't get to my friends house from this app it would be nice since I payed for this that I could actually use it for navigation ### 3/5 — Hard to enter an address or POI *2017-06-28, version 2.0.3* I find it very hard if not impossible to use your maps. I have downloaded all maps for California. I want to enter an address where I want to go. You are making me pick a map and then I can enter an address. But, when I enter my house I get the response that there is no such address. I want to enter some defaults (hone, work, places that I go regularly) but there is no way. Why do I want to enter defaults? Because I get to listing to music, or the radio, or just thinking and before I realize it I am 3 or 4 exits past my destination. And I go these places regularly. When I enter a map application The first thing I want to do is start using the map the easy way. I don't want to go into a list of maps I already downloaded. If I understand the app correctly if I start going somewhere the maps I downloaded will update automatically while I'm using the application. I do not to be forced to do housekeeping tasks and look at the names of the maps while they are updating before I us the application. I FEEL YOU WANT ME TO USE THE APPLICATION AND THINK LIKE A PROGRAMMER. I WANT TO USE THIS APPLICATION LIKE A USER. (My wife is a programer for 37 years and she got mad and refuses to use your application.) Please use some of your competitors GPS applications to see what I am talking about. I just went to Anaheim CA map and I found I could go from current location to any address(?). I entered the address and all of a sudden the only thing left is OPTIONS with start time, arrive time, ect. WHY? If I entered an address most likely, no, almost always I am leaving now, not later, or tomorrow, or next month. You are making me enter information. This is not an OPTION it is mandatory. SO PLEASE CHANGE THE LABEL FROM options TO MANDATORY. ### 1/5 — Nice App; needs more maps *2016-11-17, version 2.0.1* This app recently updated and it crashes every time I try to open it on my iPhone 7. Fix it' ### 4/5 — Good *2016-06-29, version 1.8.2* I'm in it to see where i an in cause i was kidnapped ### 1/5 — Rotten app – won't sync between devices *2016-05-15, version 1.8.2* Rotten ap Will not sync between devices ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money *2016-04-12, version 1.8.2* I bought this software and it can't even figure out what map to use for your GPS'ed location without being told. IMHO, don't waste your money on it. ### 3/5 — Dropped Pins Don’t Sync *2016-03-28, version 1.8.2* While this app is helpful to use when traveling, the fact that my dropped pins do not sync is very annoying... ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2016-03-21, version 1.8.2* I only downloaded the map for Rome. It did not locate a single address I entered that I knew to be a good address. ### 1/5 — disappointed *2016-03-02, version 1.8.2* what a waste of money, doesn't work!!! should have read the review before make a purchase:( ### 1/5 — Ripped off *2016-02-04, version 1.8.2* Only let me download 20 maps, Philippines is 79 maps, I think it's a rip off! ### 1/5 — Bummer *2016-01-17, version 1.8* Purchased and the found out had to purchase more. Travel all over US but maps are in bits and pieces which are useless to me unless I put out more cash. Can I get a refund. ### 1/5 — How can I get a refund? *2016-01-08, version 1.8* I'm traveling to Cayo coco Cuba and instead of having the whole island available they have it by section on such small country. I downloaded maps.me a FREE app and automatically download the entire island with routing capabilities and worked just fine. They should have a map listing on the description ### 2/5 — worthless *2015-12-10, version 1.8* Am I missing something? I put in names of five bars/restaurants that I've already been to in Toronto and none of them came up. Looks like I'll be dropping pins when I am online and hoping that I can get there offline. I'm planning to also use the app for Barcelona, Valencia, and Madrid over the holidays and hoping that it has more to offer than it did for Toronto. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Looks like this app is dead *2023-04-24* Maps are immediately expired. Internet required for navigation, defeats the purpose of downloading map ### 1/5 — App opens but maps will not load. *2021-09-25, version 5.0.1* And the developers email is not accepting emails. So no help is not avaliable. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. The button to change to satellite view is missing. *2020-07-01, version 5.0.1* Doesn’t work. The button to change to satellite view is missing. ### 1/5 — No at all what I expected *2018-12-09, version 5.0.1* I purchased the Pro version only to find I can’t select area for download and must still pay an additional fee to download satellite images. Absolutely no advantage over free Google Maps. ### 1/5 — 骗子 liar *2018-11-23, version 5.0* 我上网搜索谷歌地图出现了这款APＰ，因为有中文界面（都是中文），所以我写中文啦。简直气疯了，里面找不到任何美国🇺🇸的字样，根本空白一片还花了1.99，要求退款。简直浪费时间，无良商家。为什么不让贴上截图。 ### 1/5 — HELP!!! *2018-07-01, version 4.0.1* Trying to be app support. Paid for app. Tried to download Sapporo, Hokkaido prefecture in Japan. Still waiting for download. NOT WORKING! PLEASE FIX. or refund my $1.99 cost. ### 1/5 — Junk Map *2017-09-02, version 2.0.4* Total...total junk. Being in a unfamiliar city with no cell plan having an offline map with zoomable details is crucial. This map was spotty and didn't zoom in to give detailed info and basic street names!! I paid for the upgrade and it didn't get any better. Don't waist your money. Do a little due diligence and find a FREE good online map. Hint...map.me ### 1/5 — Not real good if you want street le el to walk don't waste you money *2017-08-25, version 2.0.4* The overview is ok but I wanted to use it at street level to walk to certain areas in Manila do not show street names or anything else stick with google. No good ### 1/5 — Don't buy this app it's not worth it at all not even for emergency. *2016-11-27, version 2.0.1* Nothing is logic going about this app. The route guidance is a total mess. Just bought it cause I'm working in China and I thought this one could help me out since google maps is blocked here. ### 1/5 — Poor to worse *2016-11-18, version 1.8.2* Never was great but served a purpose when no cell coverage available. Now it's a rip off, I actually had paid for additional maps but with recent update back to only having 3 maps left to download. Crap ap ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simply great ! *2018-08-08, version 4.2* Accurate, clear, easy to use. The developer is responsive to user requests. The pro version is well worth the reasonable price ! ### 5/5 — On the road to great *2018-07-20, version 4.1* This is almost everything I want, very good maps that expand and contract to show additional detail. I wish it had more complete states or even a whole USA map but file size does get large. I use it to get a big picture when I’m offline. ### 5/5 — AWESOME! *2016-11-18, version 2.0.1* In the beginning I couldn't get all of my downloaded maps to show together, but now that they do I love the app!! ### 5/5 — Best travel app!!! *2016-10-09, version 1.8.2* Never get lost in a foreign city! No data needed! Gps pinpoints your exact location. Was great to have while navigating large cities overseas! Also needed a map of an Indonesian island. After contacting them they added it! Great service! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2015-12-06, version 1.8* Although I think other apps give the same options for free, this has a user friendly interface which is important to me. ### 5/5 — Maps *2015-12-05, version 1.8* Am very pleased with being able to use selected maps offline and when more remote. Map of the San Juan islands was made available promptly when requested. Thank you. Great service! ### 5/5 — Terrific *2015-12-05, version 1.8* I travel a lot in Europe and there were two place that were not included. My request to have them included was granted within a week. Excellent response! ### 5/5 — Great off line Mapping! *2015-09-15, version 1.8* I downloaded Google Off Line Maps Pro. The other day, yesterday and found that the county's I needed information on for traveling around Florida where not available so I sent feedback requesting six County's in the state and the next morning I received an email advising me that the county's I requested were now available. That's what I call Support! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2015-08-30, version 1.8* It's exactly what I wanted it to be. Also, the app support is exceptional. There were 5 maps I wanted but which weren't on the app. I submitted a request and they were all added within a couple days. This is a great value! ### 5/5 — Very Good app For Slow internet *2015-06-08, version 1.7* No more internet, no more waiting for load, no waiting ! I live in iran, and have slow cellular internet connection, but with this app i downloaded all map of my country and use offline :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
