Ratings and reviews

It's definitely better than google maps but for a product you're paying it has many bugs. Like it doesn't recognize local addresses manually inputted wether in Japan to romanji so you have to pretty much use coordinates or find the place in the map. Second the description says it supports offline maps but does actually not support offline maps. But good app overall.

This app is absolutely essential for anyone planning to drive in Japan. I'm new to there and this app has made an astronomical difference in my drives. Unfortunately, my previous usual go-to, Google maps and Apple maps, are absolutely sub par here, having an app that's built for the unique environment makes a massive difference. The UI arrangement isn't as lightning quick as Google or Apple, but you'll get used to it. Definitely recommended.

Everything is locked behind a paywall??? Even super basic stuff like setting your home address is paywalled, which is absurd. Google Maps can be pretty terrible in its own way, but it's set the standard for the bare minimum. Like, great, you use AI to determine which routes I prefer. But I can't even mark with an ICON where my house is?! UI is also pretty ugly.
