Using the trial, didn’t have too much issue with routing. Voice directions however – sometimes it’s good enough that I never need to look at the screen. Sometimes it’s incessant about turns to the point that instructions interrupt my music only to not even finish a sentence while I’m pulling to a stop sign or […]

Just don’t do it… Even if it’s the only map your moto nav will work with, it’s not worth the frustrating ux or draconian pricing. Pricing from 2010 – “hey, let’s find a way to use “Value Add Services” to differentiate pricing tiers – but let’s make them things almost no one needs and attach […]
I have Premium Plus. I like the interface and the turn by turn directions. But I’m very disappointed with the database of business names & locations. I tried searching for a hospital, a gas station, and a restaurant. Sygic couldn’t find any of them. When I searched for a store, Sygic “found” a location that […]
Seems like it might be OK, but shows spam notifications. Ads are one thing (though I really don’t like that you get multiple ads when trying to load the app, a big problem when trying to quickly navigate somewhere, especially when driving), but I get enough notifications without getting random ones pestering me to use […]
It seems like it may be an okay app, if every little piece didn’t cost an additional $4, $5, or $6. But that’s not the reason that I am deleting the app. It is constantly sending me the reminders to purchase the additional options. I can’t find any way to turn the ‘reminder’ notifications off […]
I used this for personal navigation. I do not drive in a fleet. This app used to work with Android Auto. Now you want to charge me to use in Android Auto. Pass. BTW, when I paid for the app, connectivity to Android Auto was not part of the premium package. You try to make […]
Switching to a subscription model is a killer for me. I paid a full price for the app and a lifetime world licence. Now they want to charge me every year for the app that crashes, leads to wrong locations, and is terrible at searches. There is a better business model: charge a fixed price […]
The few times I have had to use this, it is wrong. First issue I ran into is many city names are wrong. It shows streets that don’t exist. Speeds are pretty much 90% wrong. The only place they have been correct is on the hiway. I have entered addresses and I end up a […]
One of the worst app experiences I’ve ever had. When it re-calculates a route, it takes a wildly long time and then never seems to adjust to new circumstances, instead just trying to force an unworkable route no matter where you drive instead. Also, the voice directions update you on the expected time of a […]
Ok, but not there yet, especially when there are free options just as good if not better. It put my home address in a different town completely when I added it 🫤. Navigation was as expected from using other systems. Some of the lane guidance was very iffy, especially at some more complex junctions or […]
It’s nice. I like it. I also like the 3D geometry of the landscape, I wish it could exaggerate that effect. There a lot of hills where I travel. It’s smooth, no jitters or freeze ups. Recalculates route quickly. The menu items and text need to be bigger for Android car unit. I need to […]
The app works as a stand-alone program on the phone. Connecting to Android Auto is a different matter. The app connects to Android Auto, and then I get an error message, and it disconnects. I informed customer service about this issue, and they responded that until others send in complaints, they won’t be looking into […]
If getting lost is your goal, try Sygic. It’s specialty seems to be weirdly unnecessarily complicated and inaccurate navigation. My last session was a 9-mile, essentially straight line and it managed to route me along a path of about 13 miles, a lot of it turning the wrong way. Also, it doesn’t announce freeway exits […]
I already paid don’t need your constant notifications about selling me the caravan extension. It’s infuriating but not worth 1 star alone. What does is the map quality. I don’t drive a lot but already had 4 times when it wanted me to drive onto nonexistent or under construction roads. Then instead of turning off […]
I have been a Waze user for several years but lately I have found it to be unreliable. sometimes the directions take me way out of the way, and other times it takes me to the wrong address completely. I trialed this app to replace Waze, and it worked well during the trial. So, I […]
They often have server problems. Updates become problematic. Even though the maps can be stored in external storage, the application takes an incredible amount of internal storage. (It takes over 37 GB of internal storage! Why don’t they rewrite the app so that it can be installed in external storage?) Since I’m running out of […]
Very nice app. My wife and I like the ‘rest stop’ feature on our long road trips… Same with the interesting feature about going around turns of different curves… I sort of wish the “continue” button when setting up a new route would autostart after 10 seconds… More than one time I’ve set up a […]
Used Sygic for long, works well. Years ago paid for a lifetime license with voice navigation, lane guidance, etc. which still work on the original device. However, when I put the app on my new phone and signed in, all the bells and whistles are gone, it’s just like the free version. Contacted tech service […]
Finally having to drive more frequently, I decided to start using it again. The Premium+ nag screen is frustrating. I’d bought a lifetime Premium plan and Lifetime Traffic a few years ago, but it seems to have been hobbled in favour of subscriptions and I can’t seem to find the Traffic licence listed anymore. Rude. […]
I wish I could recommend this app but I just can’t. In general, it’s okay and good enough to get me to purchase premium, but there are so many basic UX blunders all over the place that have slowly grated on me over time. Please focus on usability, actually listen to your customers (I’m expecting […]
