Ratings and reviews

I bought Locus Maps Pro (btw, thank you for a good product), and then it turns out that, for example, the additional function of synchronization with a smart watch that I need is only available in Locus Maps 4. But it is not sold separately, let's get a subscription. Even if you need maps once every half a year. I realize we live in 2021, and subscriptions are popular now, even for some rudimentary notepad. But give at least the option to buy the program as it is, at least without updates.

Overall the app is great and very functional. However, the ad banner on the top of terrible. It doesn't get in the way too much when using the phone vertically, but when held horizontally the banner takes up lots of space and makes using the app very uncomfortable. I can't afford the premium and the ads are all big problem. Please do something to make the ad less of a problem in horizontal mode.

Ive been trying to use this app to navigate between two GPS points without success, for a long time! It regularly prompts me to download additional data to be able to use the navigation feature, of course agreeing to download said data changes nothing, the prompt reappears each time. I have not once successfully used it. This should be so much simpler and easier!
