User Reviews

Users praise the app’s core navigation/GPS and its privacy-focused positioning, with some reporting good Android Auto compatibility. However, sentiment is dominated by paywall-driven changes after the latest update, widespread bugs and regressions (search/input issues, lag/crashes), loss/degradation of offline maps, activation/support hurdles, and privacy concerns. Overall, the app can be solid when it works, but the paid model and reliability losses have driven many users away.

Pros

Strong core navigation and GPS performance when the app is functioning.
Privacy-focused approach appeals to some users.
Works well with Android Auto.

Cons

Big shift to a paid subscription model with offline maps, live traffic, and other features behind a paywall; users view it as expensive.
Bugs and regressions after update: unreliable destination search, input issues, lag, and crashes.
Offline maps/degradation: loss of free offline functionality or maps behind paywall.
Activation/support issues and slow responses from support.
Privacy concerns: data sharing with third parties after the update.

DO NOT UPDATE!!! Keep the old version, much better and most features are not locked down. I made the mistake of clicking UPDATE and now offline maps are locked under Premium upgrade option. it used to be FREE before!
