Ratings and reviews

Necessary evil to navigate in South Korea. Google maps is forcefully unable to navigate in the country yet this and another competitor has full reins to navigate driving and transit. This app is not foreigner friendly at all. You can't search in English, and has to be Korean. Imagine saving all your POIs in English and having so much difficulty copying those to this app. That was my experience. Not to mention, if you're a foreigner it will block your account. Battery drain is horrible.

doesn't find simple addresses in Korea even though Google maps finds them fine, the navigation by car is buggy, even with all audio and warning settings turned off, the woman won't shut up, every 3 seconds she says something, it is unbearable. I'll be using Mapy instead to drive In Korea, for every other country use Google maps.

Ok, after using it for a few days, the app is great for providing direction using public transportation.. very accuratem However not everything appears in English, even though tou change the language to English. Also, I'm assuming bc it lacks the capability to look for things in English, it doesn't do a good job finding things so I look for them on Google maps and then enter the address. Also, when you enter the address, add name, number without the district and/or country. Naver won't find it.
