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.

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!

This app used to be great! I could ask for "ice cream" or click on the "+coffee" button and get SO MANY results. It worked like a charm & never led me astray...until this weekend. Not only are the notifications wildly varying as to how far an exit is, it thought the best route to an arcade was down a residential street that DEADENDED instead of straight across the highway, hang a left. This wasn't the first time it gave dubious directions, but it was the stupidest. It couldn't even find Walmart!
