Scout: Maps & GPS Navigation for Negative User Reviews
✓ Contacts and favorite placesThis is ok if I want to go home or to work but otherwise useless for me. I'd like to have a way to access my contacts for favorite places, instead of a random list of people and places near where I happen to be at the time. Also would like a way to just touch an icon and access all my contacts. This is trying to replace Telenav GPS and I wouldn't even consider it. Add a contacts icon and I will consider scout. Til then---yawn. Update. Now they want all my personal information. No. Delete..Version: 3.43
✓ UnreliableThis app used to work. I replaced motion x gps with this. It’s very glitchy. Gets stuck, constantly reroutes you and will never get you where you need to be on time. Turn by turn directions went from bad to worse. Highly dissatisfied and upset with this apps performance. If you want to constantly get lost and waste gas rerouting use this app..Version: 3.51
✓ Thought I’d give it another tryI thought I’d give the app another try… But it was a little disappointing. It doesn’t display with the proper depth on my cars Apple play…and audio directions sounded spliced together. The visuals were faded and gray black and white only, as if I had some long outdated app. I think I’ll be looking for something else..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Deleting your appI will be deleting your app after having used it happily for many years the new look makes it impossible for me to type an address in. What in the world did you do and why would you do it. I would now rate this app lower then 1 star before and easy 4 to 5 stars now I would tell everyone I know to pick a different driving app sorry.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Search barAt the top of the screen, the search bar is so close to the links under it you can not select it without trying four or five times this is highly annoying. The screen should better fit my cell phone, which is where it is used predominantly.Version: 4.0.4
✓ Bluetooth has never worked for iOSI would give this app 5 stars if they could ever get the Bluetooth audio to work while driving. I got this function to work once for a few minutes years ago when I use to own the iPhone 4s but never worked for my iPhone 5s nor my 128g 6s iPhone. I love using my BlueParrott headsets while driving, they are the best Bluetooth headsets on the market and this is THE only app it doesn't work on. I find this flaw with Scout to be very dangerous while driving. Scout is by far the best navigational app out there but I'm only left with Google maps because their Bluetooth audio has always worked except google can't pronounce Hawaiian street names and Scout can very effectively. I would love to one day only need Scout for my navigational needs. Bluetooth audio seems to be a common complaint in your reviews, I hope you finally address this issue sometime this year or the next....Version: 3.24
✓ App keeps shutting downI used to love this app I don’t use it very often, but when I needed it, it was available. Over the last six months when I’ve gone to use it, the App will start navigation, and then just turn off! Which means I would have to pull over re-enter the address and then try to drive and watch my phone for navigation completely useless at this point please get this fixed!!.Version: 4.0.4
✓ Not happySends me on wild goose chases. Sometimes when i could take a street one way down i directs me in a maze of going many miles away only to com back almost right next where i started. Needs to more user friendly. Used to love it. But now hate that it gives so many bad directions. Doesnt show many options restaurants or things nearby..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Downloaded mapsYour app has a major flaw. I live in the eastern part of the US. So if I want to travel to the central region of the US. I would to delete the east maps and download the central maps. A very disadvantage. I should be able to download all regions at once..Version: 3.75
✓ Lagging voice instructionsThe voice directions seem to lag about 10 minutes behind where I actually am when I am driving. I don’t see any settings and how to change this and that makes the app pretty useless.Version: 3.28
✓ DisrespectFunny that I’m seeing this trend and reporting it to E-commerce. That I paid for this app years ago and used it and it worked a little better than the rest. But when I tried to use it today, I discovered that the “free” - how is it free when I PAID FOR IT???? - version is 100 percent USELESS. So another grateful developer who thinks it’s their amazing app that put it on top and not the early users, making suggestions and high ratings. Not us. We didn’t tell all of our friends. It couldn’t be us because then they would show some loyalty and people who have been users from launch through the date they changed this to a subscription would be grandfathered. Because WE had as much to do with promoting and supporting this app as anyone else. Instead of a thank you and continued use I now have to delete it. Hi five to another hungry band of thieves..Version: 3.50
✓ SpeakerIt’s such a shame this app has no turn off speaker ability. Many times when driving I turn the speaker icon on top right off and the directions still come through my car. This is very disturbing and dangerous as a few times I’ve jumped at being startled. Please fix this…🙏🙏🙏.Version: 3.76
✓ I’ve been disappointed in this app latelyI used to LOVE this app. it always got me to my destination. But lately the app has been giving me the LONGEST routes ever!!! and it doesn’t even get me to my destinations anymore... it’ll say i’m at my destination and i’m on the side of the road looking at nothing... i switched to Waze and that seems to be doing better for me lately. Please Scout get it together this used to be my favorite reliable GPS app!.Version: 3.31
✓ No turn by turn view!After using GPS for over 10 years with turn by turn map views this app is like going back to the Stone Age! We took my first road trip in my new Toyota yesterday trying to use the Scout navigation system. What a frustrating mess! After several missed turns due to the lack of a turn by turn map we turned it off and used Google maps! I’m now looking for a phone mount for my truck so I can avoid using this app!.Version: 3.37
✓ If it’s not broken don’t fix itUsed it for years but last update totally screwed it up After years of using it I have to replace it it’s totally different better way.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Frustrating appThis app does not have current, accurate data. For example, there are nearby shopping directions for a department store that’s been closed/out of business for at least 10 years. How to trust other data, or risk being led to undesirable destinations! Before realizing the app was unsatisfactory, I linked it to my vehicle and now it can’t be removed from the vehicle’s dash screen. Signed, Extremely frustrated with this app.Version: 3.77
✓ Flashing Mess of a distracting Safety HazardI’ve used scout forever. But one day a few months ago by now I turned it on to notice the display box in upper left corner of screen with the big arrow that shows your anticipated direction keeps flashing every second!!!!!!! It is super ANNOYING and a distraction to the driver. It is a SAFETY HAZARD. And I absolutely hate it. I updated the app to see if it goes away but it never does. Now I’M going away from Scout and going to try some other navigators. Sorry this is going on cause I’ve used scout as my go to for years..Version: 3.71
✓ Where is the functional Nav panel?I miss my old navigation system. If my phone was in my purse or unavailable. I could touch the navigation button on my car and it would pop up a map of my current location & I could zoom in or-out to view options. With this Scout system, I have to use mapquest or Google maps off of my phone. I might as well get out the old paper maps that used to be in my glove box to see where i am. I’m so unhappy, I wish i’d bought a different car.Version: 3.37
✓ Requires a phone number at launch now. Pass.I installed Scout on a new iPhone, and was presented with a request for a phone number with a “promise” they won’t share it with anybody - then I read their Privacy Policy. I don’t like their not-so-private Privacy Policy, and deleted the app. I'm almost 60 now, no need for social media accounts or this app..Version: 3.31
✓ Loop de loopI thought this app might have roadblocks and traffic congestion updates. I was wrong. When I came to 1604 and I 10 every loop was blocked off and that wasn’t shown on this map and so I applied them using the proper links. And when I got away from that area, it kept trying to reroute me back to that area that I had just blocked all off. Slow. When I arrived at my destination, I tried to put in some information, and it asked about how the route was. And then it went away. I went to another section on this app where it said rate app and the app did nothing so that I couldn’t rate it..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Just awefulOn multiple occasions scout has told me to turn on roads that don’t exist or to use someone’s driveway to get from on street to another. I liked this gps when it first came out but has declined to total garbage. I understand the Pocono’s can be tricky but not being from this area and not always knowing where to go I like the help. Get it together and try harder scout..Version: 3.48
✓ HUGE disappointment after years of use!Years ago I got the paid GPS app and loved it.. then the updates started rolling in to turn a simple perfect GPS platform into a mobile social networking platform. Now your prompted to give your phone number with promises of privacy but also told that the information is shared as well as your location . Also your given a warning not to use while driving but then the entire platform is to use with a friend while in vehicles driving... can't wait to see when the lawsuits start coming in on that one! Also now they want you to sign up and pay monthly fees for social media while driving and not sue them for it. Scout... I and many others as you can see in the reviews just wanted a simple, clean working GPS without having to buy another device to stick in the vehicle nothing more, nothing less. I had even PAID for the app to get the GPS service... now you want me to pay for services I don't want, don't need, and won't use even though I paid for the GPS service already???!!! That's just DIRTY business! I have already PAID for the GPS part of this app so I should get what I PAID FOR!!!.Version: 3.35
✓ Telenav GPS was betterApart from losing my address book, the current version of scout “hangs” on profile. I installed it on my wife’s iPhone 5 my brand new 6 and m daughters 6. Same “hang” that says “preparing” I believe Telenav GPS was more configurable for detail. But I will attribute that to “learning curve” Everything tells me Scout is a downgrade..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Data DumpReading the EULA to this is pretty terrifying. Basically whatever you search for in navigation you give to people trying to hire or sell something to you. Imagine that next time you’re hoping for a bug fix on the app, probably not where your resourced data is going to. I don’t care how well their navigation and map system is and I won’t find out. NEXT!.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Used to love this app, now won’t workI have used this app everyday for 5-10 years now and has very many addresses that I go to for work. Now I can not even get it to load or turn on. Updated Scout and tried everything. Very disappointed. I really do like the layout and how this gps has operated in the past. Sure hope they’re not trying to get too fancy with it and just stick to how it used to be….Version: 3.77
✓ Good NavigatorWhen I first joined Scout, we really loved how clean and precise it was in getting us from point A to point B. It was also dependable. Not so much lately. We used to be able to put in an address and have it pop up right away. Now it seems like we have to struggle at times by pulling over to the side of the ride or driving aimlessly before it registers. It seems like these simple problems occurred as Scout started adding more to its program. We really would like to see Scout go back to simplifying and working more on making their program better in getting us back to going from place A to B than inviting friends and all the other extras. Our priority is to stick in an address, have it come up within the next 5 seconds with the all round best route - nothing more..Version: 3.29
✓ BadUsually the system will rerouted but isn’t working that way any more as soon as you get to near location it stop providing info how to get to the address . Yesterday I spend 45 minutes lost trying to find the place I was going to. Went I give the address again it send me in a complete different route and got lost again.Version: 3.43
✓ Just okThis is just ok compared to other gps apps, especially ones for CarPlay. For example, using CarPlay, audio is cut off when providing directions, and when in other apps, there is no bar at the bottom that shows next turn as other gps apps do. It’s also missing things like speed limits and notifications if you go over, and doesn’t show street names when not on a route..Version: 5.0.7
✓ LOST IN SAN DIEGO, VENICE BEACH , PHOENIX AND ALL OF LOS ANGELESJust see the title and you get the idea. Scout Maps has no clue how to maneuver or recognize Blocked Traffic & Detours. Why not HIRE MORE PROGRAMMERS??!! Running on empty with your profit margins?? I love not being chained to Google Maps directing me how to drive, so I really hope you’ll improve your services!! Sincerely, Captain P Princeton’73.Version: 4.0.4
