Still haven't fixed the biggest problems
more lessThe ongoing problem is that the outlines of states, countries, and provinces are so faint that it's almost impossible to make them out. I also notice that in hybrid view they don't show up at all now. Nice going with that feature; it looks exactly like the satellite view now. It's also impossible to tell whether you're looking at the border of a country or a province, because the lines are all drawn the same way in hybrid mode. Speaking of hybrid mode, why do I have to select it every single time I open the app? It never remembers the mode. Ever. Finally, the same problem with the shrinking text exists in this latest version: If you zoom in to better see road numbers, for example, the number shrinks down again so you're no farther ahead. If the image gets bigger when you expand it, the text should get bigger when you expand it. Otherwise the app should come with a magnifying glass. Why the developers don't spend some time on usability issues like this I don't know, but these updates don't deserve all the self-congratulatory fanfare while these problems persist.

Street view from contacts is a crap shoot . . .
more lessPrevious operating systems for the I-pad had this feature built in making it possible to look at streetview of a house or address from contacts in your address book. With the new I-pad this feature doesn't work anymore. I assumed this app would restore this feature. It sort of works but often does not show the correct house or address. Knowing what my house looks like and friend's houses look like I was able to drive up or down the street or look on the opposite side of the street. However, for the most part, it's a random view of a street somewere or someplace if you have no idea what the house or address is that you're looking for from your contacts. This app may have other features or qualities but street view from contacts is why I purchased this app and it doesn't work as well as expected.

Was the best map app until the subscription model started
more lessI paid for the app years ago, and it has been by far the best mapping app until it went subscription. I had pointed a friend at the app, who downloaded the new version right after they changed over the payment model. It was far too expensive to bother with, when there are free and low cost options that will do the job. I never updated, and will happily use my old version until it stops working, but this company will never get a cent in subscription fees from me.

Screenshots Lie
more lessScreen shots indicate it would show a moving map, this only downloads google turn by turn for the watch. If you expect a moving map do not buy. If you want dangerous to read tiny text that will likely cause an accident this is the app for you. Useful GPS screens are well established, and are not text based turn by turn lists. Fix the watch gui, quick glance should show turn arrow over map, with option to display distance. Big, high contrast, should be able to get all info in 1/2 second glance.

Map changes
more lessPurchased this app years ago and it worked great. They recently went to a subscription base which I paid for. Now I can’t get a street view from my 100 + contacts which is why I use this app (you can from bookmarks). Support went silent on me with this problem. Will look for a new app and stop payment on my credit card. But don’t worry, they added a great “Worthless” temperature reading on their map! I’m sure everyone wanted this and not a street view.

Too difficult to use on the fly.
more lessThe screen changes context too easily, and it is not obvious how to get back. How about a back button? And why not an aways-present 'show my current location?'

Do not lose you money

Forget paying a subscription fee
more lessThis was my go-to mapping app, best in all respects. I will absolutely not pay a monthly fee, however. Forced to go back to Google Maps.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!
more lessI bought this because I wanted to have a google like layout for my Apple Watch instead of having to use apples imaps. The image previews are completely misleading and falsely advertise the features it shows. App only downloads another to do features that don’t even work. I truly wish I could get my money back considering after 5 minutes of having it, I figured out that it was pretty much a scam. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. I would give less then 1 star if possible.

Interiors of buildings NOT helpful
more lessI have conveyed people to addresses all over the northeastern seaboard for over 4 decades; and NEVER has an interior picture of a restaurant or hotel been used as a navigational aide. The current practice of using a hotel's dining room or rooftop bar in place of the buildings exterior does not help someone get to their destination safely. Your mapping system is good. (It was great before those stupid interior pictures.)

- You can now clear a search by clicking the blue arrow from any result and tapping 'Clear Search'.
- All possible routes to a destination now appear on the map at the same time. Tap one of the greyed out route alternatives to select it.
iMaps+ v2.1 now uses the Google Maps Vector SDK. The update brings the following great improvements:
New Features
- The map can now be rotated and tilted (two finger swipe up or down).
- Viewed areas are now automatically cached for offline access.
- Detailed location information including official websites, telephone numbers, opening hours, user photos and reviews can be seen for search results.
- Radar Search : Click the radar next to the map mode selector to locate on-screen places of interest. These include restaurants, petrol stations, post offices and more.
- Share locations via Facebook, Twitter, Email, SMS or by copying a link.
- You can now track your heading as well as location. Tap the current location button once to track your location or twice to track both location and heading.
- Swipe horizontally over popovers to move between direction steps and search results.
- Slightly updated directions display.
- A compass now shows in the top left hand corner of the map. It indicates the north direction of the map and can be tapped to reset map rotation. In heading tracking mode, the compass points to the real-world north.
Bug Fixes
- Clicking the current location button will no longer zoom you out to a fixed zoom level.
- Directions can be cleared from a cross in the popover above the final pin (purple balloon).
- The help screen is now accessible from a dedicated button in the navigation/tool bar. Choose to have directions reported in miles from the help screen or main settings app.
- Clicking off of the current location marker to hide the popover does not disengage tracking (a scrolling motion still deactivates tracking).
- The map mode selector is now less fiddly.
- Fix for the compass orientation appearing 90 degrees out when in landscape.
- Fix for the search field appearing distorted in landscape.
- Fix for the map randomly scrolling diagonally.
- Improved performance and reduced network usage.
Changes
Unfortunately, changing to the vector SDK has required the removal of the dedicated public transport layer (train stations, bus stops etc. still appear but the optional layer showing lines between them has been removed). This layer will be re-added as soon as it is possible to do so.
Known Issues
Street View Distortion When Zoomed Fully Out:
Google's images are distorted due to the use of wide angle cameras. Warping the images onto a sphere removes the distortion but severely reduces performance rendering street view unusable. When WebGL support is added to iOS, it will be possible to warp the images without impacting performance but in the meantime, note that the effect is much less noticeable when zoomed in.

Also close all other apps from multitasking (double tap the home button, press and hold on an icon, click the minus next to each) and restart your device. This should fix any issues you are having.
