Review summary

Users appreciate the app's intuitive interface, multiple pin features, and the developers' openness to feedback. It serves as a rare alternative to similar discontinued apps. However, persistent bugs, crashes, login difficulties, unreliable pin syncing across devices, and missing features detract from usability and frustrate users. Stability improvements and expanded functionality like cross-platform support and web access are desired for the app to realize its full potential.
Pros
  • The app has a clean and user-friendly interface with helpful features for navigation and mapping.
  • It allows users to drop multiple pins with tags and descriptions, useful for travel planning and field work.
  • Developers are responsive to user suggestions and seem open to feedback.
  • The app is valued by users as an alternative to discontinued apps like Google MyMaps and appreciated for its unique features.
  • Cross-device profile syncing and web app potential are anticipated positive features.
Cons
  • The app experiences significant bugs and stability issues including crashes during upgrades and map navigation.
  • Pin syncing across accounts or devices is problematic; pins don't always appear when logged into the same account on different devices.
  • Some core functionalities such as manual pin dropping, group sharing, follow requests, and routing consistently fail or are unreliable.
  • Login and email verification processes are problematic and can cause users to become stuck in loops, preventing access.
  • Lack of cross-OS support and missing features (like 3D maps or a web version) limit usability.

This app has huge potential. I was devastated when Google discontinued the MyMaps app, and this could potentially be way better than that app ever was. My problem so far is that this app is still pretty buggy to the point where it's annoying to use. I'm really hoping things will get better with updates and this will be a five star app.

I logged in with my husband's account on my own phone and the pins he had lived pinned don't show up on my phone even though I'm logged in as him.

links to groups don't seem to be working, when tracking a group of people you have to try and find them, there is no search function, I also just tried to unsubscribe from the mailing list and it said it failed. I wanted to track someone doing the Albania race but no joy and apparently it is not working for a lot of other people.

Has potential, however it does not work, too many bugs and not stable. Reached out to the developers and received 1 response versus the many I supplied with details. I wish this app was stable for it has potential, but for now, we have to look for another alternative.

Seem to have lost the function to drop manual pins. Fine if the search function works but sometimes it won't acknowledge things clearly marked on the map. Useful, but frustratingly hit and miss. Oh, and it also won't allow me to share groups or see/accept follow requests. So minus another star....

Super buggy. Things change after you click them. Things don't exist that clearly exist, you have to manually drop half of the pins because it won't find the location. Sometimes it will find the location and you'll drop a pin and the pin is in a totally different country despite saying the address is correct. A lot of potential but pretty poor execution right now

Good app to visualize where the places are on the map, but I have been trying to plot route, and it never worked. It just gives me an error message all the time, and also, the live chat is no help either.
