Ratings and reviews

I have used Mapquest for over 5 years. I made the BIG mistake of updating it. It is now HORRIBLE! I have to go thru several screens multiple times to just get to my address list. There used to be a +/- button to zoom in/out that is now gone. Used to be buttons to easily turn on/off shopping, gas, bank, etc. Gone. This new version is really bad. If you have the old version DO NOT UPDATE!!

This was my go-to app for wherever I went, but after the surprise update, everything is so different. The app is so laggy and slow now, and whenever I look up directions, I usually click avoid highways, but now it automatically changes to take the highway while I'm en route and driving on the road. Sometimes, it won't even let me change it back! That is not only very annoying but also so dangerous!

I'm very happy with this app. No distracting notifications or flipping map around, gets me where I need to go in a direct way without going on a bunch of tiny streets. I used mapquest to go across the country with zero issues as well as local. It doesn't not as many bells and whistles as competitors but I need a map, not ads, not dangerous distractions. Solid, highly recommend.
