1. [R3] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · US Good-ish app but better competitors (Google Maps, etc.): Hi. I wish this app had a report a faster route feature because I am finding in my area that Google Maps provides me with faster routes. I googled does here we go let you report faster routes and here is the answer Google Ai gave me: HERE WeGo does not feature a manual, user submitted "report a faster route" button to instantly alter algorit
2. [R4] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 2/5 · US Not good in the usa: Does not have traffic information or 511 data
3. [R22] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 1/5 · US Bad navigation and bad sensitivity: I used this app for over a month to give it a good chance and I cannot in good faith recommend this app. It consistently thinks you are getting off exits when you are not, even when in the far left lane from the exit. Not only does the sensitivity consistently cause the app to reroute you, the routes chosen are poorly done. The traffic is over 90% of the time in
4. [R43] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 1/5 · US Not a good start: I downloaded this app on the 16th and used it on the 17th of January so today. We live in rural NM and I was going from El Rito to Toes for a Drs appointment which is normally a 1 hour and 11 minute drive but this app wanted to take me the same direction ish but 17 minutes further north to TP for a 1 hour and 28 minute Dr so needless to say a bad start. then on the way home once
5. [R12] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · US Not quite there: I recently went on vacation and used it as an opportunity to test out more features. I knew we’d have no service in some areas so I downloaded the maps of 3 different states we’d be passing through. Idk if its a compatibility issue or what but when my phone was connected to the car through apple airplay, the image of the map/route would glitch. The map would frequently zoom in w
6. [R17] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 4/5 · US Beautiful, Functional: I have been using this app for several months and am loving the clean design and many of the features. Though, the CarPlay implementation seems to be a bit buggy especially during navigation when WeGo is minimized. Additionally, the app will white screen when opening it for the first time. I would love to see more features and customization options added, both functional fea
7. [R23] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 4/5 · US Excellent - Except when it Opens to a Blank, Frozen Screen: It’s an excellent navigation app. The only problem is that it often opens to a blank, frozen screen and has to be restarted to get it going. This is the case for both on-phone and CarPlay use.
8. [R24] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · US CarPlay features lacking: I like that it is not apple or google but I need dashboard view in CarPlay in order for it to be my daily driver
9. [R6] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · US Needs better searching near landmarks: One thing that I find difficult about this app is that it’s hard to find restaurants or coffee, shops, etc., near landmarks. That’s my most common use case for map apps. Either this app is really not built to do that or the UX is too confusing to easily put in a landmark and then have it show restaurants or other things near it.
10. [R29] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 4/5 · US Pretty good but some search issues: For example, when searching for “Emergency Vet near me” I get locksmiths and CPAs. Not helpful in the slightest.
11. [R33] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · US Potential: Please work on making this app better since I’m Not using anything else. It lags and it’s hard to find information through it
12. [R7] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 1/5 · US Voice: Cannot get voice back to this app. Don’t know what happened to it but the voice is gone. So this app is totally useless for me. Tried everything to get it back but no use I liked when it was working but that was about 3hours ago that’s how long I’ve been working on it
13. [R15] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · US OK, But...: I have not been able to get sound to work in iPadOS. Apple apparently changed the API and this App hasn't fixed Other than this, I like the app.
14. [R16] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 1/5 · US Will not start without internet: Not useful in remote areas without internet signal
15. [R25] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 1/5 · US Map downloads do not work: Can't download map, just gives an error message saying "download stopped try again". I tapped the retry download option and it still didn't work. Same message every time.
16. [R13] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 1/5 · US Incorrect location for my address: The app does not list my legal street address. The closest options are nowhere close. Amazon uses this company as its mapping service. As a result, I am not getting my packages.
17. [R19] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 1/5 · US Political Meddling: It’s called the Gulf of Mexico. I’m not playing these dumb games let me use the correct maps, give me an option man
18. [R28] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 1/5 · US Outdated, can’t uninstall: The app is outdated & the locations are incorrect & i can’t uninstall the app i restart my phone and still can’t uninstall it ?????
19. [R36] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · GB Bus Glitch?!: It works fine for a bit and then it kinda loops on itself, especially giving really weird and long distance buses options. Really needs some serious updates. Oh and updating the app dos not help with this. Also lots of outdated info when it comes to business’ and shops
20. [R54] Google Maps 2/5 · US New updates disabled some searches: Some of the common searches like restaurants, attractions, gas etc. are not showing on the maps and redirects you to google search. The only time it works is when you’re on incognito mode.
21. [R55] Google Maps 5/5 · US The best app for the job: Great app but big space for improvement
22. [R57] Google Maps 1/5 · US Crazy bug: Shows nothing when I search “restaurants “
23. [R65] Waze Navigation & Live Traffic 1/5 · US Disappointed in the Updated terms of service: All disputes with the app should be under jurisdiction of our local government/state, not Isreal! That’s insane.
24. [R66] Waze Navigation & Live Traffic 5/5 · US Love My Waze: Waze hasn’t failed me yet. Easy to use and reliable!
25. [R67] Waze Navigation & Live Traffic 1/5 · US Loved app until Israel: This was my go to app I had used for nearly a decade, until July 2026, when they updated the terms and conditions that Israel is apart of the app! WEIRD. Only in the USA this says it.
26. [R69] Waze Navigation & Live Traffic 1/5 · US DO NOT DOWNLOAD: Everyone seriously needs to look at the terms and conditions of using this app. “These Terms will be governed solely by the law of the State of Israel, without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, connected with or relating to these Terms and the Service, will be under the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court
27. [R79] Avenza Maps 1/5 · US Useless: As a long-term casual user, I am very disappointed with the pricing plan change. I have happily used the app for many years for cross country backpacking. I like to know where I am. Now, as a “free” user, the only map I can access is the OSM. This map is absolutely useless. I cannot see the details of this map. As suck I am unable to navigate with it.
28. [R80] Avenza Maps 5/5 · US So easy!: Thank you Avenza for making it easy to upload .pdf maps and follow them in my map app with a blue dot!
29. [R81] Avenza Maps 3/5 · US Updated map limits: This app has been great for so long, but the recent changes to custom map import limits is making me look for alternative apps.
30. [R84] Avenza Maps 3/5 · US Used to be better: As a wildland fire safety officer, I used to be able to download custom maps with the free version. Now, I can’t so I’m forced to purchase a plan. The wildland fire community is being pushed into using Field maps, and I may eventually go that route, too.
31. [R93] MAPS.ME 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
32. [R96] MAPS.ME 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.
33. [R97] MAPS.ME 1/5 · US Does not find street in London with a search but street shows on map: Search function not working
34. [R98] MAPS.ME 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
35. [R107] Sygic GPS Navigation & Maps 1/5 · US Subscription: Doesn’t let you unsubscribe. Account management is very confusing
36. [R109] Sygic GPS Navigation & Maps 3/5 · US Good but not perfect.: It's good but it has its own annoying flaws which make it a poor choice for daily driver navigation on carplay. 1. Poor carplay integration. Navigation volume is tied to BT volume, can't hear navigation unless you listen to radio. Tomtom and apple maps got this part right. 2. It is annoying while driving. Is the camera still there? Ridiculous. Route changes every 5 minutes.
37. [R110] Sygic GPS Navigation & Maps 1/5 · US Very dissatisfied: I have tried this app twice. It fails to list POI in my area and limits gas stations to two brands. I emailed for help and received a response from AI instead of a person in two occasions. Both times I was told to send them the info so they could add it to the app. Sorry. I don't get paid to do their job and correct their app. I cancelled my Sygic Premium subscription. It coul
38. [R111] Sygic GPS Navigation & Maps 4/5 · US Works well: Been using this GPS for several weeks now, & it’s rapidly becoming my favorite. Works well, pretty prompt directions and seems accurate. Wish it would connect better with our calendar, but still highly recommended.
39. [R9] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · US Not bad: I’ve been using this app for about a month. Very appreciative of the fact that it collects less personal data than some of the other GPS apps. It does an okay job at choosing routes. Offline mode is a nice feature. I just wish that when using this through CarPlay there was the option to ask for directions via voice command.
40. [R30] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · US Love it, but it needs better CarPlay support.: It’s a great and smooth app! It allows offline downloads of maps, and has pretty good traffic rerouting (all those luxury European cars that use this for native mapping give good data). CarPlay support is lacking. It always makes me restart the application before I can use it. You also can’t have the map and music controls at the same time. A real bu
41. [R20] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 5/5 · US Highly recommended: This is an awesome GPS app that was recommended to me and it has been a great find. There is no sign up, no account, no hassle, it works right out of the box. The maps are clear, the routing is smooth, and it does not feel cluttered like a lot of other navigation apps. I really appreciate that it runs independently without constantly asking for logins or extra permissions. As
42. [R26] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 5/5 · US Gulf of Mexico is correct: The map works great! Found this on BuyfromEU and have not been disappointed. Thank you for giving us an alternative to the privacy invasive US apps!
43. [R32] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 4/5 · US Nice app: I appreciate this app especially for being more private than the mainline navigation apps out there. It does have a weird bug of trying to redirect you if you’re at a stoplight too long, but fixes itself when you keep driving. Also id love it to pause my podcast whenever it talks :)
44. [R2] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 5/5 · US 100%: Aplicación precisa y fácil de utilizar.
45. [R11] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 5/5 · US Amazing: I use HERE maps with my Garmin DS66, and although their map can be inaccurate sometimes, I love how accurate their traffic is and how easy it is to actually make changes to the map.
