Ratings and reviews

Has an amazing amount of functionality but is inconsistent. Like randomly not showing restaurant reviews on my phone, but my partner shows them fine. I personally find these things really annoying. Partly because it takes me a while to work out the app isn't actually showing important information that is usually shows and I start to think I just can't fine it.. It's kind of like being gaslighted. It's by far the most frustrating app I use, but put up with it because there's no alternative.

It's not fit for purpose. Bloated, slow and intrusive when it's working. Constant pop ups at junctions, you have to close them while driving which is dangerous, the routes are awfull and will constantly change while driving even if you pick a route, it will change your destination of its own accord to a google preferred business and do not disturb can not be turned off, it can't re-route past a closed road and the settings turn themselves back on. You have no control of the app.

Best navigation app. New features: shows speed limits and traffic cameras, clearer icons of gas stations restaurants etc. on your trip. Google maps will tell you with precision which lane to use to make a turn and which street to make your turn into for example first right, second right, etc. This makes the navigation easier and safer.I hope more improvements are on the way. Avoiding railroads will be a good option. Also the speed you are driving often stops showing and I have to update often.
