Ratings and reviews

Best map for Android Auto and navigation is good. Problems in the app all revolve around address searches. Many destinations are not in its database and if you don't know the number and street address, you're out of luck finding a destination. Adding favorites is also a problem; I still can't figure out how to add a favorite. I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and drive a 2021 Honda CRV E-XL.

I want to love it. But can't seem to get it to work for me. I can never get search to find anything. The map itself is not touch active in that I can see a shop but I can't tap on it to bring up its information or set it as a point to navigate to. The degree of customization is nice in theory but it's so complicated it's virtually unusable. Lastly, it sucks power such that even when charging it can't keep up with the power drain.

Horrible The app gets frozen after launching it. I have to manually close it and re launch it but then after checking any area for a few streets it gets stuck once again. This pattern gets repeated over and over. I can't believe there's even a paid subscription for something that doesn't even work fine.
