Ratings and reviews

It's one of the major Navigation and map app in China. It does have offline map function. However, I guess if you download it from Play store, you're not going to be able to use it in China when you are actually offline or out of signal, which is hilarious. Also, the main page of this app is like a rocket launch control room control panel. I bet it does have 10,000 plus function, but none of it is going to help you navigate to any of the destination you want to go.

The app needs some improvement for user outside China. I can't register the account using my phone since the app can only recognize China's moble phone number. Also, when setting the street address for navigation, thr app doesn't really recognize the street name and city. I tried several times and find it better to use shop, company, or tourist attraction nearby for finding my destination. But the navigation is pretty good after correctly setting everything.

This app is the only English map that works in China on Android. Unfortunately it requires a Chinese phone number to use and loses many functions in English. Binding Wechat, Alipay, and Taobao can't bypass this login requirement. It's reasonably straightforward to get a SIM card linked to your visa before you even arrive, but not worth the hassle for shorter trips. I wish it just kept the same interface and search settings as the Chinese versions and didn't require a local phone number to login.
