Ratings and reviews

It's exceptional overall, does have some issues (like not being able to select which road is closed, many small roads not added in the map yet, low quality voices, not being able to select the speed in the driving preview, etc.) but it's features like lane guidance is still way more convenient compared to Waze, which does have lane guidance, but doesn't show which lane you are in. I really wish an app like this has a way bigger user base because it has so much potential.

When it comes to mapping and guidance, it's ok. But I also enjoy listening to music or audiobooks when driving. And more often than seldom, the heads up "ding" will "duck" the volume of my audio and not release it afterwards. This is very annoying. So annoying that I'm not using this app. And the highest level of prompting is so talkative that it's distracting. The traffic bar: Doesn’t work. No space left to explain.

I do like the app and the features, in particular the AR-powered walking mode. The biggest bug-bear I have is the English guidance voice. There are 22 different country versions of Spanish, various country versions of French, Portuguese, German & Dutch. Why oh why are we stuck with a single version of the most spoken language in the world - an American voice pronouncing instructions and places as if we're all living in the mid-West, and not in UK, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand or Canada!
