Ratings and reviews

I didn't find it very practical, especially while driving. Everything is contextual in this navigation, meaning you have to always click a button to see what's happening, nothing is at a glance. Traffic reports are a dot on a map, you barely see when in driving mode, so you have to zoom in to the spot on the map, and then click the icon and only then figure out what is happening. Also, finding an alternative, while already driving, is hidden under few menus. Again, not at a glance. Dangerous app

From a navi app that I used by default with Android Auto to an app that I almost stopped using after the recent updates, I'm very disappointed by its user experience in the car recently. My chief annoyance with this app is that it blocks my in-car Audi maps in the cockpit, even when it's not navigating and forces it to show a compass. Audi maps is what I rely on to always show my points of interest while driving. Using other apps like Sygic and even Google Maps doesn't cause such issues.

This app was great and still have nice extra stuff you don't get anywhere else but usability is getting worse each day and lacks features of other apps: routes offered are not great choices (in EU), ETA are often very wrong, randomly the ui buttons are unusable on android auto and sometimes on the phone it refuses to do searches until phone is restarted. When the phone is unplugged from the car on short stops it forgets the route and if offline, it's impossible to restart the route.
