Ratings and reviews

The app itself is great. However, after I clicked on a special offer within the app to upgrade to the Pro annual subscription (a pop-up banner at the top of the screen), they continued to charge me for the monthly subscription as well—every month, for the entire year. I emailed customer support, and they told me there was nothing they could do and wouldn't issue a refund. Unethical...

It's good, but lacks refinement with address searching. Doesn't find exact street number, often doesn't find streets due to mis-spellings in the map itself. Directions often go down non-connected streets or those that no longer exist for years. Can find some things by name, like schools, but is only about 75% accurate. Doesn't account for traffic. Features are good here, though. I like the overlay option and the offline maps, and setting parking spots, but interface takes getting used to.

I have yet to try fully try the app out. I'm still setting it up. That said, they've already scored major points with me. other developers need to take notes on this. To use premium features, it will cost you $2.99/month, $29.99/yr, for a one-time fee of $39.99. I've already blacklisted other apps, regardless of their usefulness, for only giving me the option to purchase a one-year subscription. Good job, guys. 👍😎
