And of course, the annoyingly long ad when you open the app. ### 1/5 — Getting bad to worst *2026-05-21, version 10.2.7* I used to like this app over Google Map unless I want to get street view information, but nowadays I gave up. I must watch a long advertisement before you can get to see the map (some times 2 ads). I can understand you need ads to generate revenue but the norm is 15s. Sometimes I urgently need to find a location I can’t sit out the ad. A waste of time. OneMap is totally free, no ad and provides accurate information. ### 1/5 — From a 5 star to a 1 star app *2026-05-20, version 10.2.7* The ads are getting longer and longer, and can’t even skip it for the 30 seconds. When ppl rushing to use the app, you got to stand there and wait 30 seconds for the ad and caused ppl missed the bus. Almost wanted to delete the app if no improvement on user experience. Defeat the purpose of having this app. ### 1/5 — Your app close is not working *2026-05-11, version 10.2.7* I love your map, much better than Google map in terms of the 2-D drawings. But whenever your ad launches, it cannot be closed even I have allowed it to finish. Please check your close video button and reward granted button, they are not working at all. ### 1/5 — Ads are intrusive *2026-05-10, version 10.2.7* Starting the app shows you an add that takes some time to dismiss. ### 2/5 — Ads can’t be closed *2026-05-05, version 10.2.7* Practically, can't use the apps as can't close the ads. Maps itself is actually good. ### 2/5 — Too many unskippable ads! *2026-05-03, version 10.2.7* Could you have a paid option? I don't mind paying a monthly fee to remove pop-up ads. You are a maps app, not a game. Having to watch a 30-sec ad just to use a maps app is ridiculous. If Google Maps wasn't so notoriously bad for SG maps, I would have used Google maps. Just charge us $1.99 per month and be done with the ads. ### 2/5 — The earned rewards were reset after some time *2026-04-26, version 10.2.7* I'm pretty sure I watched the ads and earned 4–5 rewards to start the app without annoying 30 seconds pop-up ads. But if you haven't use the app for a few months, those rewards will be erased which it's quite unfair. ### 1/5 — Ads bad *2026-04-24, version 10.2.7* If short ads like 5 second or skip ads option available, is it still acceptable. Need to wait for 30 second is not acceptable. Especially when you just want to have a quick check on the bus arrival time and what is the route. ### 2/5 — Deducts ads timing *2026-04-20, version 10.2.7* It’s a great app to use but the ads is getting longer which on the road u need in search urgently but u need to wait for the ads to finish Understand that sponsors of ads is needed but deduct the timing ### 1/5 — Crazy ad *2026-04-18, version 10.2.7* The ad ms was already crazy before, now, there are 30 seconds non skippable ads? I just wanted to look at the map for 3 second. Like what many others reviewed, please allow us to pay and skip the ads. These ads are crazy. ### 1/5 — Please give option to pay to remove ads *2026-04-17, version 10.2.7* The app is useless because there’s no skip the ads.i would rather pay one time to remove ads permanently ### 2/5 — Pop out ads *2026-04-07, version 10.2.7* Always triggered once using the map, very misleading to state have removed the ads ! Also the pop out ads always lead to install such ads and no other means to bypass like in the past, ads will display closed button after certain button. The ads experience in the apps is very unfriendly. ### 1/5 — App gets stuck after the rewards countdown *2026-03-15, version 10.2.7* App used to be good but lately after the rewards I'm unable to close the rewards and go into the app..it just gets stuck there. Tried removing and reinstalling but still the same issue. App rewards to open gets stuck especially in iPhone. May be the script isn’t working as expected, kindly check ### 1/5 — Poor user interface *2026-02-21, version 10.2.7* Loading for search results are rather slow. The ads always are unskippable instead of the 5 seconds preview. Absolutely waste ### 1/5 — Pop up adv *2026-01-28, version 10.2.7* The user experience is terrible. Before the map can even be used, users are forced through repeated pop-up advertisements. Worse still, the map auto shuts off after a short time and does not stay active in the background. Every time the app is reopened, users must go through the same ads again just to access the map. Who exactly do you think is watching advertisements while navigating on the road? People use map apps for directions, not to be treated as captive ad viewers. These interruptions are annoying, disruptive, and unsafe. If this ad-heavy, repetitive flow continues, more users will simply uninstall and move on. Navigation should be fast and seamless—not an obstacle course of ads !!!!! ### 1/5 — Useless (Waste of Time) *2026-01-28, version 10.2.7* Not friendly to new users.. forced to watch ads before user can try to use the map! Watched the ads and still could access the map!! ### 1/5 — Stupid ads *2026-01-22, version 10.2.7* Just make it payable! Your ads are extremely annoying and waste of time. Who in the right mind will develop a local map app and force people to watch a 30s video that can’t be skipped. Shame on the entire team from making a good map app to destroying it. ### 1/5 — Ads closing problem *2025-12-04, version 10.2.7* Cannot close google opinion ads, want to earn money also must make sure it works before rolling out, your join the dot ads also cannot close ### 1/5 — You can sell ads anywhere, *2025-12-04, version 10.2.7* People use this App for purpose, should provide options to remove annoying ads, not the stupidest way by watching 1 to remove 1 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Annoying and lengthy ad demos couldn't be closed, making the feature completely unusable—it’s awful! *2026-08-21, version 10.2.8* Those annoying and lengthy ad demos couldn't be closed, making the feature completely unusable—it’s absolutely awful! ### 1/5 — Location services / GPS failed. *2026-08-20, version 10.2.8* The location services or GPS failed to work since last update. The app cannot detect my current location ### 1/5 — Please allow option to pay for the App *2026-08-15, version 10.2.8* I really find all the pop up advertisements irritating. Please allow us to pay for the App, rather having to wait for the pop up advertisement to disappear. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-13, version 10.2.8* Too many ads and the duration is getting longer and longer which is unbearable now. I’ve decided to uninstall you app after using it for many years. ### 1/5 — Will not recommend to download now *2026-08-06, version 10.2.8* Used to like it very much as it was so useful. But now, the advertisement is so long, and no way there is a cross out button, meaning we will be forced to click the advertisement. Really waste of time. I will use google map instead now. ### 1/5 — Pls offer a paid, Ad-free version! *2026-07-21, version 10.2.8* I really love this app and would honestly be happy to pay for a premium version to support the developers. Please consider offering a paid, ad-free subscription! I would much rather pay than have to watch ads. I noticed that you recently added an option to remove ads, but unfortunately, it seems to require users to watch ads in advance to earn points. That doesn’t really solve the problem for users who simply want an ad-free experience. Please consider introducing a proper paid version with no ads at all. I would gladly pay for it! 😊 ### 1/5 — The latest version is not good *2026-07-15, version 10.2.8* I have been using this App for around 9 years, but the latest version can’t even show right transport and without choices of different routes ### 1/5 — Too much advertisement *2026-07-06, version 10.2.8* I fully agree. Even if they can’t remove ads entirely, at least give users the option to close them! Right now we are forced to sit through the entire ad with no way to skip — it’s so annoying and completely meaningless. It just wastes everyone’s time. Please be more considerate towards your users. ### 1/5 — Rubbish system *2026-07-01, version 10.2.8* An absolute disaster , used to be a good app , now location doesnt even work , despite my phone having no issues with other apps…. Wasted 20 mins of my commute ### 1/5 — Waste time & Missed the Buses *2026-06-23, version 10.2.7* Always open the app it shows advertisement yet it takes 30 seconds and sometimes shows other advertisements. This app has made me missed the buses and that’s why my friends said so annoying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best map *2025-02-05, version 10.2.7* This is the best map for public transport users as it gives the most detailed instructions and options. It tells you which bus to take unlike Google maps and SG Transport app which keeps asks you to walk when the distance is less than 2km ### 5/5 — Outdated compared to the website *2024-08-23, version 10.2.6* For some reason the map in the app is outdated compared to the one on their website. This is true even after uninstalling and reinstalling from the App Store. Would have gotten more stars if this is fixed. Update: app is finally updated with sharper image and up-to-date ### 5/5 — Keep it up 👍🏽 *2019-03-15, version 7.0.2* Frequent update and patches made the app stable as ever before.Thanks dev team. The best route planner i have used for Singapore so far. ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2018-08-10, version 6.0.5* Easy to use!! Very helpful!! ### 5/5 — Still crash for iPhone X *2018-03-15, version 6.0.2* Still crash for iPhone X ### 5/5 — simply awesome 👍🏽 *2017-07-09, version 5.0.2* loving this app. it tells you the next arrival & which route to take. being a melbournian, its a great app to have. it doesnt consume so much battery & storage. u wont miss your stop cause it tells where ya at & where u need to get off. ### 5/5 — 구매내역 삭제요청드립니다 *2016-05-10, version 5.0.2* 구매내역 삭제요청드립니다 ### 5/5 — Good Job! *2015-08-15, version 4.2.6* Working smoothly.
