1. [R2] 5/5 · US Great travel maps app: I’ve been using maps me for years and it’s never let me down. The maps are up to date and accurate to even small details are included. I’ve used it in several countries and loved using it.
2. [R5] 5/5 · US A emergency app for all mountaineers: Two years ago while climbing the mountain SABALAN 4845m , summit of Mount SABALAN we were caught in a severe blizzard near the peak. Visibility was almost zero- we could only see about 1-2 meters ahead since Sabalan has many dangerous cliffs and steep drop-offs, we were in a very risky situation. Our only option was to use MAPS.me . I checked the map, found th
3. [R6] 5/5 · US Love it: Must download to use without wifi. That’s a blessing. Just gotta be up to date. It will get you where you need to go without internet. That’s a A+ for me.
4. [R10] 5/5 · US Great option: I had used it in 6 different countries and it always works perfectly.
5. [R18] 5/5 · US Maps made easy: I love this app and always prefer it among the app dominance of Google, Apple, Waze,
6. [R3] 2/5 · US Great interface, but limited: I like the user experience. However, it can only find the businesses I’m looking for about half the time. Even major ones like KFC or Tractor Supply. And you can’t put in addresses, so I can’t get to them that way, either. I end up looking up the street on the web, getting directions to that street, and driving around looking for the business. I love the offline capab
7. [R17] 4/5 · US Easy to use: Efficient way to navigate
8. [R45] 5/5 · US Easy and fast: Thank you for the update
9. [R64] 3/5 · US used to be awesome: been using maps.me for years and its annoying they have started to take away features and started charging annual subscription for those features
10. [R76] 3/5 · US Meh: You can download max two american states. And boy if you plan to use it with internet prepare to be hit with a promotion for their $4 a month subscription every time you open the app! Herewego is better, this one’s way too intrusive. P.S- They asked for my review and the system didn’t post it because it isn’t 5 stars.
11. [R169] 3/5 · US Now you have to pay?!: They probably charge now because now the U.S. National Parks app allows you to download park maps (FREE) and the NP system is where we usually lose service, right? Sneaky that this developer is not putting “in app purchases” in their description. I used to use this app all the time. Now they charge for the maps. DELETE!
12. [R21] 1/5 · US Money, money, money: J’utilise Maps.me depuis plus de 10 ans. L’application m’a accompagné à travers le monde. Néanmoins, l’appât du gain fait qu’on passe d’une application open source gratuite à une planche à billet. 5 euros par moi pour une application de navigation. Bye bye je m’en vais trouver une nouvelle application ( il y en a plein sur le marché) Quand l’appât du gain détruit un applicat
13. [R138] 3/5 · US Ads!: Ads anywhere! Get rid of them. New update is awful because of all the ads
14. [R30] 1/5 · US Bought this app over 10 years ago, now features are behind obnoxious paywall: I paid for this app a long long time ago. No restrictions on functionality like how many offline maps can be downloaded. I decided to use the app on a trip this year and every single time I launch it I get a full screen popover with fireworks and a 4 hour countdown for a discount on “Pro” for something like $20/month,
15. [R37] 4/5 · US Lifesaver with a cost: This app has basically saved my life once (offline maps). BUT if you are not a paying customer they punish you each and every time you open the app with a pop up an annoying add you must close out of.
16. [R9] 1/5 · US Does not find street in London with a search but street shows on map: Search function not working
17. [R49] 1/5 · US DO NOT GET THIS APP: First of all I didn’t even intend to subscribe to this app, I got billed $55 for an app that I have no use for. This app DOES NOT WORK, I can’t even type my own home address, it keeps saying there is an error, so basically I cannot type any address, so what is this gps supposed to be good for? And they won’t refund me my money. What type of businesses is this? Your app doesn’
18. [R52] 1/5 · US Worst map app I’ve ever used: least intuitive map app I’ve ever used. Nothing works, even if the map is downloaded.
19. [R13] 2/5 · US Halting: I found it very difficult to use while walking around Florence. Some of the places are not where the maps indicate they are. Had to resort to Google maps and pay for data
20. [R39] 1/5 · US Don’t trust it!!: This app left me in a pickle twice in Costa Rica. I downloaded the app in Maps. It sent me on a wild goose cheese an hour out of the way honey rough dirt road in the mountains between La Fortuna and Hako. It was not a good situation. It tried to do it again when I was coming back down to San Jose, but I stopped and looked at the map. I would not recommend using this app for guida
21. [R282] 3/5 · GB Midget: In Barbados we were navigated up a dreadful road where it had collapsed and we could hardly even turn around. Very frightening so be very careful with Barbados navigation.
22. [R413] 3/5 · GB Pretty good, but .....: I've used maps.Me for years and found it to be indispensable - THE most reliable map for some remote part of the world. But .... Current version really unreliable - crashes a dozen times a day (I suspect the useful 'optimise route' function). I'm also finding the app to be a bit of a liability when walking a 'known' route - I am using it for the SW coast path in the UK -
23. [R145] 3/5 · US Unable to access Pro: I signed up for Pro a while ago, but the app now won’t let me access my maps and saved places. It says that I cannot use my phone number (which was originally used to upgrade). Developers need to fix this!
24. [R152] 3/5 · US Used to be great, but now bloated and buggy: I’ve used Maps.me for close to a decade. I winced when it went to a subscription model, but gave in to keep the original core features of unlimited maps and bookmarks. Over the past several years, the UI has become bloated and unintuitive. I started using other apps, but still couldn’t get away from Maps.me fully. Now it doesn’t recognize that I’m a pa
25. [R23] 1/5 · US Cannot cancel subscription: I wrote to customer support and deleted my account to cancel the paid subscription, but money is still being deducted! · translated
26. [R33] 1/5 · US Automatic $60 Charge: All I did was download a free app and now I have a $60 charge. I did not sign up for maps.me pro and it just randomly charged me.
27. [R11] 4/5 · US Crashes: A couple of years ago I used it on a prolonged trip & it was great. Recently it has started crashing every time I start it. I tried deleting it & re-downloading the maps. Didn’t help
28. [R102] 1/5 · US Crashing after updating and still crashing after ios26 update: Just update iPhone to ios26 and this once great and very useful app is now completely worthless. It crashes while trying to open. Not once EVERYTIME I try to open it. Please FIX YOUR app! I paid for the pro version and now cannot use what I bought. Negative 5 stars after updating. Was a great app before updating. Now it’s negative 5
29. [R433] 3/5 · GB App repeatedly force closes: The app seems to force close every time I go to open it. Not sure why, hope it’s something you can fix soon :)
30. [R112] 2/5 · US Not Actually Free: I downloaded the app because it was well-starred and clearly states ‘Free to download and use’. This is at best partly true. You are constantly hit with popups for the ‘Pro’ version and the free version is crippled to ten small regional map downloads. I get that the devs want to earn money for their work but I can’t support anything that induces downloading by claiming to be fr
31. [R250] 3/5 · US Used to be good: Now that “pro” has been added, you’re now limited to only 10 maps and get confusing ads for pro pop up. Also features sponsored locations. At least there aren’t other ads and some features are still available for free.
32. [R364] 3/5 · GB In decline: I used to love maps.me for navigating walks, I recommended it to everyone over other map apps, however…it’s becoming worse and worse with its constant “you should upgrade!” reminders and the fact you now can only download a few maps. I hope they try and make it more usable again but I’m close to ditching it
33. [R15] 2/5 · US Not up to date: Its not even uo to date, its like 20 years behind. Ive seen places on the map that havent existed since ei was a kid.
34. [R224] 3/5 · US No spoken street names: I have ised this app for about an year for free. Recently I purchased an yearly subscription to it. My hope was I will get all the premium features. I can see the speed limits now. But the street names are still not being said out. The map clearly has street names. I live in a fairly big midsize town. Why would I continue my subscription next year?
35. [R22] 1/5 · US Cannot load maps: Not via mobile internet, nor via Wi-Fi with VPN. And without internet, this app is useless! · translated
36. [R42] 1/5 · US Login says success then no access: Problematic
37. [R100] 1/5 · US 👇: Slow
38. [R31] 5/5 · US Off-Line!: I really like how easy it is to use offline. I used a Garmin for years because it ran offline. Now I just use maps. Me
39. [R40] 5/5 · US Best Offline: Helpful even in the Sahara desert.
40. [R51] 5/5 · US Thank you: Great app I like it , just try it , free & you can used it without internet just GPS
41. [R41] 1/5 · US Pop ups are demoralizing: I cannot even look at the product to see if I like it. The pop comes up fist.
