User Reviews

Users praise offline navigation and lane-guided driving, with some preferring it over Google Maps for Dubai. However, stability issues (crashes/hangs), unreliable location data, slow or outdated map updates, and inconsistent directions undermine trust. The app is useful for driving in Dubai but reliability concerns limit its overall reliability.

Clear turn-by-turn directions with lane guidance
Driving-focused navigation and users report it being better than Google Maps for driving in Dubai
Generally very good app with positive user sentiment
Useful and helpful for navigation in Dubai

Cons

App crashes or hangs, causing instability
Location accuracy issues (incorrect display or unreliable positioning)
Maps updates are slow or not up-to-date
Navigation directions can be inconsistent or misleading
Missing compass mode / some features not supported

I wanted to use this app as an alternative to waze and Google maps because they stop working suddenly and show that you're in the middle of the ocean. however, this app cannot identify most locations despite them being visible on other navigation apps. it's very difficult to drive when most apps show that you're in the middle of the ocean while this one can't identify any location you want to drive to. if someone has a better alternative pleaseee let me know, currently struggling with maps
