FABULOUS!! Today, mid golf cart ride, the app suggested I UPDATE IT!!! I can't get it to perform! I deleted/reinstalled, and it just appears to be continually "loading"! What's the issue! ### 4/5 — Audii *2026-07-06, version 23.86* Cannot hear directions when driving. ### 3/5 — No CarPlay *2026-07-01, version 23.86* Need to be on CarPlay ### 4/5 — Restaurants needs updated. *2026-06-04, version 23.86* Enjoy the app. Worth the money. Only suggestion is to keep the business listings updated. Found four of the first ten businesses listed, closed for a year. Otherwise, very helpful. ### 3/5 — No carplay *2026-05-15, version 23.85* Why does this app not work on any carplay devices, car, golf car, or any carplay device? This app would be great with that capability ### 2/5 — Freeze proteins *2026-05-15, version 23.85* Freeze proteins ### 2/5 — Needs work *2026-04-21, version 23.82* Purchased this app based on our friends suggestion so that we can get around the villages on a golf cart. The app does nice job showing locations and trails however it was below average on directions. When we typed in address it started us off then changed directions, it also cut out, it lagged in response . I had to restart the app 3 times on one trip. I actually opened up my Apple Maps to finally get me back to our rental house. Once they get this to function well for maps I think it will be great. ### 3/5 — Needs Work *2026-04-17, version 23.79* The app works about as good as the Free Villages app. Both are helpful but struggle keeping up with the 20mph of a golf cart and loss of connection while going through tunnels. I used it for a few days and ultimately ended up just using the Free Villages app. Save the $9 for the time being until things get better. Just my opinion. ### 4/5 — A must have *2026-03-09, version 23.76* For anyone new to living in The Villages, this app is a must have. While people who have been Villagers for a long time find it useful, you really need this app if you’re a new resident. Well thought out and full of useful information and directions. ### 5/5 — A must have! *2026-03-06, version 23.76* This App is a must!! It is a wealth of information and very user friendly! The customer service was superb and helped us immediately! Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Excellent support team *2026-03-03, version 23.76* The team is excellent, they get right back to you to solve any issues you have. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2026-02-28, version 23.76* Looks good, works good. Accurate and loaded with features. A must have for navigating in The Villages. ### 5/5 — GPS Gold *2026-02-22, version 23.76* Had an issue with the App. & my IPhone, the team worked with me patiently until it was fixed. They did an awesome job! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update *2026-07-17, version 23.87* New update is not working. Even when I don’t use CarPlay. Here is the message: The operation couldn't be completed. (Villages_GPS.DemoAppError error 1.) ### 1/5 — Villages GPS *2026-07-02, version 23.86* Navigation is in constant. It is constantly changing and having me do a u turn. The standard Villages GPS works great. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2026-07-02, version 23.86* I purchased the app not even a week ago and now it won’t load. Link to app support also doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Do not give these people your money *2026-05-22, version 23.85* Makes no sense why you would have to pay to use a map to get around. 🤨 Everything is just a money grab now, people are so greedy. It should be free or AT LEAST show before downloading that there are in-app purchases. ### 1/5 — Not functional after update *2026-05-17, version 23.85* App can no longer track positioning and direction after update. Rerouting and misdirecting to an extent the core functionality of the app no longer works. ### 1/5 — Just updated the voice is in meters the screen is in miles *2026-04-16, version 23.79* Hope they can fix this problem wish I didn’t update the app ### 1/5 — Updated and Broken *2025-11-18, version 23.71* They've updated the app and now it doesn't work. Big disappointment. BIG. ### 1/5 — Thieves *2025-06-14, version 23.59* Already paid for this app once and now trying to charge me again. ### 1/5 — Not good for the south *2025-04-05, version 23.57* Ok for northern villages only ### 1/5 — A good way to get lost in the new areas. *2025-04-03, version 23.57* In the new areas of the Villages. Frequently locks up, maps are not kept up to date, gives incorrect directions, sends users into no trespassing construction areas. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Customer Service *2026-07-23, version 23.89* Downloading App on tablet. Customer support solved my problem within a few minutes. Thank you ### 5/5 — Great service *2026-06-14, version 23.86* Occasionally I have had malfunctions- on the app, mostly through my own misunderstanding of how to fix it. If you ask a question of the admin, it is answered immediately and is very helpful. Follow up is also great-to see if your issue was resolved! I highly recommend this app! It is a must have! ### 5/5 — Best App for the Villagers! *2026-05-22, version 23.85* Love this app! Gets me (being directionally challenged 🤪) everywhere I need to go. Also, quick response to any questions. Love, love, love!!!! ### 5/5 — New to the area and Villages GPS makes sense and made me feel welcome. *2026-05-14* When I first drove through TV I was overwhelmed with the amount of area that I was going to learn to navigate. Actually my car has full self driving so I was able to get around by entering my destination into my cars GPS. Now with my new golf cart I was a little nervous about how I would get around. I told this to my wonderful neighbors and they all agreed that Villages GPS would relieve my anxiety. They were so right and when I downloaded it and saw all the additional information on the app it only made me realize that this is the only way to go anywhere in TV. The app is filled with so much important information that it is a must have if you live here. I certainly recommend it to everyone new or even someone that has lived here for years. I love it! ### 5/5 — GPS *2026-05-08, version 23.84* Been using this app since 2020 best golf cart gps in the villages ### 5/5 — Best way to get around in the Villages *2026-05-07, version 23.84* Have been using this GPS for over 7 years now and don’t know what I would do without it. Great app and I love it. ### 5/5 — Great GPS *2026-04-24, version 23.82* This is a great app. It gets me where I need to go. If I ever have a problem I simply email them. They respond very fast with the solution ### 5/5 — What a lifesaver! *2026-04-24, version 23.82* I love this App. It’s the best way to navigate the golf cart paths within the Villages. ### 5/5 — Update App *2026-03-22, version 23.76* Would like to see the app updated for Apple CarPlay, thank you! ### 5/5 — This app is Great!
