Ratings and reviews

While the maps themselves are very useful (despite having many non-existing road and not having those that are there), the navigation app is a complete garbage. In fact, it could be even dangerous if you rely on tracking your movements. All of a sudden, your valuable track just disappears after the app crash, without being saved. The old app was a bit better in this case. A call to a technical support brought up a ridiculous suggestion to manually save your track from time to time. Second thing: if you have your tracks and points saved in an old app - you are doomed. Despite the promise to be able to see them in this app, the server they are stored is scrapped, and there is no way you can retrieve them, not by exporting them, not by "sharing" them via facebook or twitter. Third: interface, search - none of that is well thought or even working properly. My advise: stay away from this app, there are some others that use their maps, but have a decent navigation

Basic features are not working for years now! Synchronisation with Web Map is not working.If I synchronise, I add the full set of waypoints to my phone,even the waypoints that have been on there already.No search function or filter options in app for waypoints in edit mode. You always have to scroll through full list of waypoints. Randomly crashes during synchronization. Pro subscription makes no difference!More things are wrong, but I am running out of room here!Be aware, not what you expect!

*Update* Looks like the issue has been resolved. Good app, don't know why there aren't lake/river labels on the map though. That needs to be added.
