Ratings and reviews

It is good apps, but all the time it makes confusion. Like if I choose a route and I am on the way, it gets disconnected from GPS and after a while when it connects it takes another route and roaming around and around which waist almost 30- 45 minutes. Its needs to improve. Google is the best GPS system. I dont know whenever I used it tries to go through all signals in the city..I can say it needs much more work to improve its function..Regards Ejaz

Wonderful application. except for one hiccup that always bothered me using the app. it is that it is difficult to identify whether you should make the turn on certain highway filters, as the destination route line too wide and thick. perhaps if it was narrowed down a little, it would make it easier for the driver to read ahead whether he/she should take the filter or not.

The worst navigation app ever. It is that rta did the app to tick the box only without any real continuous improvements to the app. It is far behind other navigation apps such as waze or Google or yango maps. It is supposed to be the best app for navigation in uae because it is local app. But it is really poor.
