Ratings and reviews

This app is one of the worst I've ever used. Importing a track and/or creating one seems to work, but at the point I actually want to use it for navigation, even with nothing else running, it makes the app crash & freezes my entire phone. If I have Spotify running in the background, OsmAnd will run (briefly) but Spotify won't. I've tried un-installing & re-installing, as well as keeping my phone & app up-to-date. Shame - on the surface it appears great, but in reality for me it's unusable.

Edit 14/12/23 - the voice prompt no longer comes through the Bluetooth on my car, and if I'm reading your description properly, this is now a paid feature? If this is correct, it's disgusting. And if it's a bug, how come there's forums full of us all screaming about it, with no fix? Original review 2020 - Detailed, a bit complicated till you get used to it, but it means the options are endless. And, biggest plus of all, it's not Google or Microsoft.

Great offline navigation app 👍. I've only just started using this app but I can honestly say that It ticks all the boxes for me. The UI is very easy to use so setting it up after installation only takes a few minutes. The maps are extremely well detailed and show locations such as supermarkets, car parks and so on. I can't fault this app at all 👌.
