About this app

Yandex Navigator helps drivers plot the optimal route to their destination. The app takes traffic jams, accidents, road works, and other road events into account when plotting your route. Yandex Navigator will present you with up to three variants of your journey, starting with the fastest. If your selected journey takes you over toll roads, the app will warn you about this in advance.

Yandex. Navigator uses voice prompts to guide you along your way, and displays your route on your device’s screen. Additionally, you can always see how many minutes and kilometers you have to go.
You can use your voice to interact with Yandex Navigator so that you don't have to take your hands off the wheel. Just say "Hey, Yandex" and the app will start listening for your commands. For example, "Hey, Yandex, let's go to 1 Lesnaya Street" or "Hey, Yandex, take me to Domodedovo Airport". You can also let Navigator know about road events you encounter (such as "Hey, Yandex, there is an accident in the right lane") or search for locations on the map (by simply saying "Hey, Yandex, Red Square").
Save time by choosing recent destinations from your history. Look through your recent destinations and favorites from any of your devices—they are saved in the cloud and available when and where you need them.
Yandex Navigator will guide you to your destinations in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Turkey.

Yandex Navigator is a navigation app, which doesn't have any functions related to healthcare or medicine.

The app suggests enabling the Yandex search widget for the notification panel.

Ratings and reviews

The App was great in the past. Last year it somehow started going nuts. In parts of the Moscow Oblast it showed weird routes. Sometimes it did not catch the right location, sometimes the location was way off etc. Furthermore while driving on a main road the Apps suggests that you are on the opposite lane and should turn. To make things worse since yesterday the App is constantly crashing on my S22Ultra. It says either it does not catch a signal and crashes or it crashes anyways.

From planning and traffic points it's the worst app I have used for navigation. The algorithm of routing through traffic is really not great, but that would be the least of the problems, I personally find really awkward that a few hundred meters before the junction the popout window that warns about the turn blocks the view of the junction, making it very hard to tell which turn off you need, specifically in Moscow. Sometimes this popup us partially out of view, goes beyond the screen.

This has to be the worst navigation app ever. No idea what is going on. All I see is a yellow arrow and some roads that show up. The square and circles of building etc feels like I'm playing an old computer game from the 1980's. Uninstalling.

What's new

Good news for drivers: road events displayed next to each other now take up less space on the screen. That gives you a better view of the route.
