But lacks CarPlay support for iPhones as the voice directions are stopped halfway. Also battery consumption is high along with phones getting heated compared to other apps. POI’s are not updated and difficult to find on search. ### 4/5 — Reliable *2025-01-08, version 3.3.1* Only shows in portrait view, must have the landscape view for better driving experience.overall the app is good . ### 4/5 — Audio settings *2024-07-17, version 3.3.1* Why do I need to set audio every time I open the app. If I set to mute it should stay muted till I change it. ### 3/5 — Great Dubai *2024-05-03, version 3.3.1* Если у вас есть возможность добавьте в приложение русский язык!

I was excited to see that the app would suggest the option with and without tolls. Sure enough i started the navigation using the suggested road WITHOUT TOLLS, to be surprised that the app changed the road after few meters to the one WITH TOLL! For some reason, all the navigation apps are not able to avoid the tolls/salik in Dubai! It seems suspicious ### 1/5 — Sometimes not work not speed *2024-07-25, version 3.3.1* Not working sometimes ### 1/5 — ناقص بيانات *2024-01-27, version 3.3.1* ليس كب موقع موجود ### 1/5 — Not like before *2022-12-12, version 3.3.1* This app used to be the best. I have it 5 stars before.. But recently i it started to crash most of the times I open it and when it works there aren’t any updates to the road network. ### 1/5 — Location or outlet name Search is poor *2022-12-01* Location or outlet name Search is poor ### 1/5 — Not working properly *2022-09-28, version 3.3.1* Not working properly, not easy to use, actually never worked without internet ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-11-22, version 3.2.0* The app doesn’t work at all , it keeps asking you to make some u-turn .
