Ratings and reviews

Really useful for finding locations in rural HK where the numbering is quite erratic. Also doesn't have the ad clutter of Google maps

Really like your app. I installed it on a few other leading brand devices and it helps me a lot on my outdoor duties, but it is sad that it crashes every time I click on most of the functions on the main interface (including the map function) when I use it on this device (MediaTek Helio P90 MT6779 2.20 GHz 8 cores, 8GB Ram, 255GB Rom, IMG PowerVR GM9446). I hope you will provide a fix soon. Thanks!

Can't directly load a location by geo intent or an address shared from other map apps. Grey line on grass field can't be read disappointedly. In-app feedback keeps submission failed. Short walking should always be a very good option to approach bus stop or destination in transportation recommendation. Tapping to an address link won't prompt this app to load the map. Though the app is gradually getting better, it's still weak in different aspects during using practically.
