User reviews

Users appreciate Petal Maps for its clean interface, clear lane guidance, offline capability, and useful features like speed limits and trip progress. However, common complaints include inaccurate routing and addresses, robotic and excessive voice prompts, slow rerouting, and the requirement to log in with a Huawei account. Additional requests include better landscape mode support, more customizable alerts, improved map details, and integration with Android Auto. Overall, while promising as a Google Maps alternative, the app needs improvements in routing accuracy, voice navigation, and user-friendly features.

Pros

User-friendly and clear navigation with detailed instructions and lane guidance.
Offline functionality works well, allowing navigation without internet connection.
Less cluttered and more visually appealing interface compared to Google Maps.
Includes useful features such as speed limit display and public transportation options.
Shows trip progress and integrates music app controls enhancing user experience.

Cons

Routing and address accuracy issues leading users to incorrect destinations.
Voice instructions often sound robotic, overly talkative, or annoying rather than natural.
Slow rerouting after wrong turns causing navigation delays.
Mandatory Huawei account login for some features, which users find restrictive.
Lack of useful features like landscape mode support, import/export of GPX routes, and limited map details (e.g., walking tracks).

Need improvements,.. Hey Team, I've noticed a few areas for improvement in our app: 1. The current voice sounds robotic. Can we make it more natural? 2. I can't avoid both highways and tolls simultaneously. Let's add that option like Google Maps. 3. When I make a wrong turn, it takes about 2 minutes to adjust, especially on parallel roads. Quicker alternative routes would be great. 4. Adding voice input for destinations and showing weather on the map would enhance the user experience. Thanks

Nicer & less cluttered UI than G Maps. Routes are simpler & clearer too. BUT, when it can't find an exact address, it provides results from LITERALLY all over the map. Searched for an addy in SF, CA — even typed in "San Francisco, California" & the ZIP — and got results from Ireland, Australia, & the West Indies. After removing the house number, *then* I got San Francisco results. Also, can't tap on turn-by-turn steps to zoom in, and requires logging into Huawei to bookmark anything.
