## Review summary

Users praise DuoMaps for its fast, simple interface and the ability to choose between Google and Apple maps, plus a strong Street View experience that aids planning. However, recurring complaints center on a controversial Street View subscription, seen by many as a price hike and a bait-and-switch that undermines previously included features. Other frequent negatives include unstable behavior and bugs (especially around search and Street View), poor or hard-to-reach support, and missing navigation options like turn-by-turn directions or starting-point from current location. Overall, it’s valued for visuals and speed but marred by pricing and reliability issues.

### Pros

- Fast and simple to use interface.
- Ability to switch between Google and Apple maps to leverage their strengths.
- Street View is intuitive with high-quality imagery.
- Helpful for planning journeys with clear visuals and readable labels.

### Cons

- Subscription model for Street View is costly and viewed as a bait-and-switch by many users.
- Search functionality can be unresponsive or broken (e.g., searches do nothing, 'no URL' on links).
- Bugs and reliability issues (Street View sometimes unavailable, frequent reloads or crashes).
- Inadequate support options (difficult to contact; one reviewer noted an invalid support email).
- Missing features such as turn-by-turn directions and the ability to start from the current location without entering an address.
