Aplicativo bom

App é ótimo. Comecei a usar como teste, mas é um ótimo substituto ao Waze

New user

I like it I just don’t like that I can’t copy and paste an address that I’ve typed in or used before when I’m on the app

Good but…

- got stuck in detours for more than 30 minutes as it didn’t show blocked highway entries
- does not display traffic lights or stop signs
- no settings options while in Carplay, like changing to light/dark modes, etc. Oftentimes even if I had setup to be on night mode all the time it would switch to light/day mode in evenings and nights. Very inconsistent behaviour.

Update after 2-3 months with it: (Now Nov 2026)
- its missing some locations that have been there for decades
- I decided to take another route because the traffic was at standstill where TomTom had suggested but as I was driving away by another road and driving under an overpass, TomTom was telling me to cut through the grass and switch around to the other side of the road.
- Last nail on the coffin is that I was ready to go to my hotel after setting our booth at a conference expo and TomTom was telling me that the hotel was were I was standing, yet the hotel was 2 miles away on Google Maps and Waze.

So that was it, I just deleted this app.

Expected better as already got ridden of Google Maps and Waze but since it couldn’t find my hotel had to no choice to go back to G Maps.

Best in class nav app

The cleanest and most efficient app out there. Just wish I could download maps and choose a destination from the app while connected to Apple Car.

Tom Tom’s the Ine

Tom Tom is in my opinion, the best navigator in the business.

No departure arrival

Please Tom Tom add departure and arrival time options

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for your review, and we're sorry for any inconvenience caused. Please note that our app currently displays the arrival time. To view it, plan a route, tap "Route", and you will see the estimated arrival time displayed above the "Drive" option.  Regarding a departure time option, our app does not currently support preplanning routes, so this feature is not available at the moment.

Constantly freezing

Terrible app keeps freezing while in use

JMV12

Need to improve more , some areas , especially in motorway , camera warning sign is the TOM is not beeping ….

Dangerous Routing

Incorrect routing along a service lane, which is normally only accessed by refuse vehicles, not a good start to my experience with this app!

doesn’t work well on iphone - goes off in background

which is annoying

Really good but would be great if it was for HGV compatible

It would be great if it was for HGV compatible 👍🏾

USA-centric

When I search for an address, it always comes up with USA options. I do not live in the USA.
Additionally, they have my home address in the wrong area. TomTom shows my house a block away from where I actually live.

Response from developer

Keeps asking for review

It's a great app, but it keeps asking for a review each time I open it up. Sent a developer message but it hasn't been fixed.

Also has battery drain issues and some usability issues in carplay with panning and zooming. The traffic overview is awesome, but I don't want it to zoom in on me, I want the top down view of the roads since it's a great view of traffic

Customer suggestions like yours help us improve, and we've shared your input regarding the zoom in and view while navigation concern with the relevant team for consideration in future updates.  Regarding the battery draining issue, please force close background apps, restart phone, and test with only TomTom app running. After 30–60 minutes, check app’s battery usage in your phone settings. Regards, ^Pratiksha

A good alternative

Just discovered this app, and have been enjoying it over Google and certainly Apple. It’s got great graphics, and it’s easy to use. What I hope to see come in the future is to be able to search for a location, and then have options to explore that location. Right now, to casually explore an area or possible destination, you have to search the country manually, and then zoom in on the location.

Go

Great

Good guidance but notifications are annoying and dangerous

Good guidance and instructions but the constant notifications are sooo bad and annoying. Literally constantly asking “are you enjoying TomTom” “is there still traffic” “is there a camera “. And to swipe these away every time WHILE DRIVING and trying to see the map is dangerous
