Ratings and reviews

I prefer using Yandex products for everything as an alternative to Google, but for where I live and many places I've visited Yandex.Maps isn't a viable alternative yet. Many streets/roads are missing and the majority of places are missing as well in South Florida, USA and in all of Suriname, and Venezuela. I'd love to see this app grow to be a direct competitor with Google Maps on a more global scale. It would be a nice feature to submit missing roads/places on Yandex.Maps since there isn't much in places I've been. I will continue to support this app, but it is not my primary app due to my region. I recommend a different Google Maps alternative for the same reason. *Sputnik Maps is a good web alternative for my region, but it lacks a mobile application.

uninstalling right after install. i was originally excited about an alternative to google that does not share my info with any 3rd parties. but then, the 1st thing you have to do in order to open the app is agree to privacy terms that clearly say "your data will be used to providing the service as well as promotional and development purposes", whatever that means. might mean 3rd party, according to that loophole, but seems very misleading. shouldn't have to agree to privacy terms for maps!

It's been a great app for quite a while. But now it's going downhill. Non-stop ads even with paid subscription - ✔️, gamification - ✔️, bloated UI - ✔️. Hint for the product team: main bookmarks like home / office should always be visible for navigation view, for now it's unpredictable - today they are there, tomorrow - gone. Searching should always prioritize user's bookmarks. Searching bookmarks should be available in offline mode.

What's new

You can now see how busy places are right in their card (avoid those long lines!).
Also, good news for drivers: road events displayed next to each other now take up less space on the screen. That gives you a better view of the route.
