Pocket Earth Maps for Negative User Reviews

LolOnly Ireland !.Version: 1.3

Waste of time and money.Google maps and Apples are better and free..Version: 3.1.2

Does not work offline as statedReally unhappy because I purchased the world maps and tried to get route guidance while offline but got repeated alerts asking to establish internet connection so in fact the app does NOT "work completely offline" as stated in the description. The maps do appear to download and I guess some people are happy with how this app works for them but I barely made it to my destination. Please update so that it truly does work completely offline and I'll be happy to change my rating. Requesting a refund from Apple is too cumbersome..Version: 3.0.1

File sizes too large!UK map is now 1.3 GB up from a mere 500MB! If this is a glitch, please fix, as Uk is a small country and roads there dont change often. Otherwise, too big for my iPad. :-(.Version: 3.3.1

Good but brokenLove this app but currently crashes when I try to open it..Version: 3.1

AbandonwarePocketEarth was superb for a long time, and the app is still functional, but OSM updates are now very infrequent, app updates are incredibly rare, and GeoMagik's support forum is totally abandoned to spam. RIP..Version: 3.8.4

Great app butI purchased this app some time ago and have enjoyed using it immensely. Unfortunately I can no longer view topographic maps. Im not sure what the problem is and I don’t seem to be able to get a response from the developer. I suspect Pocket earth wants me to purchase Pro so has removed features. When I purchased this app there was no Pro..Version: 3.8.3

The PRO app is listed as free app of the day and ITS NOT!!!The PRO app is listed as free app of the day and ITS NOT!!! I hate apps that do that. What's the deal?.Version: 3.3.1

Takes a little to get use toOffline maps stopped working for me in this update. I have large blank areas in states where It previously worked great while offline. On 8.4 iPhone 6.Version: 3.0

Can't really be used offlineI thought this would be the solution for getting around while out of the country without paying foreign data rates. It's not. You can't do something as basic as get a route to a landmark without being online. I was left clumsily trying to drive while repeatedly looking down at my screen to see where on the map I am since I couldn't plan a route or get turn by turn directions without being online even though the full map had been downloaded to my phone. I don't see the point of this if it can't give you directions without being online..Version: 2.5

Fantastic - but where are the track markings from?This app (pro version) I use constantly to drive my 4x4 7ton motorhome through Australia. But... Doesn't everyone has the hole Pro map covered with blue and red thick marked walking tracks and bus lines? They cover dead end roads and so many streets, that it's irritating. I use PE Pro on an Ipad2 with newest IOS. Is this a bug? Only on Ipad2? What can I do? I downloaded none Pro and no tracks marked there. Topo now 15$. Did you guys offered topo to basic PE for 100% price rise and made PE Pro useless to make people switch over and buy Topo again??? looks like it.Version: 3.5.1

Traveling kevinNot friendly Ok.Version: 3.6

Many great featuresTwo complaints in an otherwise solid app: (1) Minor roads only appear when you zoom pretty far in. They should be visibility at pretty much all zooms as very light lines (for example). (2) Road labels don’t appear on minor roads until you are zoomed way, way in. These are vector maps, so all the data is there at all zooms - the developer just chooses not to display it for us. Give us a switch/option to “show all roads”, for example - some of us would choose to have a busier map for certain applications, given that is has more information..Version: 3.5.1

Won't route without internet connectionIt won't work without internet connection or wifi.its not really an offline map.Version: 2.5

Had some difficultySearch function not returning any results. User interface sometimes awkward. User manual is not real clear, and there seems to be no online support or "Contact Us" for getting questions answered. I'm trying to use it, but it has not been helpful when I'm in a hurry..Version: 3.8.3

BobThis is a "demo" version,... only good for Dublin, Ireland. If you want anything else you have to buy the full version. Doesn't tell ya that in the ad or how much it is..Version: 1.2

Terrible appImpossible to navigate. No instructions.Version: 3.3

Truly awfulThis is a bad gps app. One of the worse I have ever used. Despite saying it works off-line. It will not route unless it has an internet connection. It will not correct or re-route it you go off course. Even with internet connection. Even if you go to the trouble to make and save your routes when you have internet. (A complete pain that no other gps app needs doing) if you miss the start of the route, it will not begin the route. These things are basic gps functionally and this app fails them all. It's POI are terrible. Unreadable. Out of date and unusable. It's interface is confusing and counterintuitive. There are much better topographical map apps that do not route but have much better map detail. And much much better routable gps Apps. That truly work offline. Reroute as required, have useable POI and better interfaces. Look elsewhere. I wasted my money. Don't make the same mistake..Version: 3.3.1

Worst app I have ever boughtI downloaded the App, paid for the maps so they could be used offline.... But they cannot be used for routing unless you have Internet Generally unusable in lots of other aspects.Version: 3.2

Won’t download maps anymoreEvery time I try to download maps on a cellular connection, it says there is no connection even when I have checked the box to allow cellular downloads..Version: 3.6

Crashes on iPadLatest version crashes on iPad (iOS 8) but not iPhone. Okay on iPad running iOS9. Please fix. Was fine before last week's update..Version: 3.2.2

IPhone 5s CrashesCan't review, crashes as soon as you open it on iPhone 5s with iOS 7..Version: 1.6.1

Crashes all the timeCrashes all the time..Version: 3.6

Great for browsing maps useless for navigatingReview based on paid version The quality of the maps is fantastic with good detail including topographic contour lines. . This makes it a great app for browsing the map. But it’s a very poor gps navigating app. It requires online access whenever you deviate from the original route which makes it virtually useless outside mobile phone network coverage. It cannot display a 3D view Looking ahead like other gps navigations apps. Planning a route is also more painful than other navigating apps. In summary if you want to just browse and explore maps then this app is great. It’s also great as a flight tracker if you use it aboard an aircraft as the app displays speed and altitude. But if you want a dedicated true offline gps navigation app then get something like magic earth..Version: 3.8.3

Map routesUnless I was doing something wrong the app wouldn't give me a direction route unless I was online. So I could see the maps off line perfectly I couldn't get any directions.Version: 2.5

Charges for FREE mapsWhy charge to download FREE online maps?? Un-installed..Version: 3.3.1

Very limited demoOnly shows Ireland, so I don't know if this will fulfill my needs or not. Am NOT willing to pay three dollars to find out it is not what I need after all. It does zoom in very closely to a chosen city in Ireland, though, but that is not what I am wanting. I wish to have a quality atlas that shows all the countries on each continent, and also zooms into each city..Version: 1.2.1

GPS doesn’t workThis app would be brilliant if the GPS worked offline… great topographical maps but no navigation. I used it for 3 months trekking in Italy and it was awful. It showed me where I was at the start of the day before I set out, then that was it. So disappointing.Version: 3.8.4
