User Reviews
Using the app on an iPad is not of much use because it doesn’t work in Landscape mode. Only Portrait is available, so the Bluetooth can’t be used. In app of Mapquest’s age that should dance been resolved by now.
This is a decent app however it is a bit slow, which is why I didn’t give it 5 stars. However, the ads aren’t too bad and it works well enough. And the questie characters are a cute addition.
Not only did I get wrong directions in the past, nothing like being on dark country roads with no street lights but now the app won’t close! I will be deleting this app, not sure if I will reinstall.
Once you put the phone code in it does not continue logging you in
it’s very cute and nicely put together but while i was on the way to a doctors appointment it landed me in a neighborhood making me late. the app glitched out and redirected us while saying it was 0 minutes away. then when i tried to submit feedback for that the button did not work :(
The big tech companies changing their maps to shape the reality of whoever is in the government is wild to me. Anyways, this app has little dudes you can be. My niece asked what app this was and loved it.
I recently travelled to Maine and while using the MapQuest app to navigate a fairly short distance it sent me down a clearly marked private road! I turned around after getting a look from someone talking a walk. I don’t know if this road would have taken me where I wanted to go, but the app should not be programmed to take private roads.
Cannot use the CarPlay screen to search for a location, access saved locations, or anything else. One must start navigation with MapQuest on iPhone and then CarPlay picks up and works, but only for that specific route. This really renders Mapquest all but useless in CarPlay which is intended to allow one not to leave pick up and use one’s phone while driving. A fix is needed.
The latest update/version wiped out my planned trip, is there anyway I can retrieve all the information I had saved.
No matter what i do it wont actually close the application and is obviously a big drain on my battery. so the only thing I’ve been able to do to end application is to delete the app. And having to delete every time i want to actually close the app is too much of an aggravation
Can be kind of Glitchy. At inopportune times freezes up. And adds pop all the time and it is difficult to simply just Get directions.
This used to be my go to navigation app until the last update. The last two times I used it it didn’t work and I had to use Waze instead. Tried to put in a destination address that has been there for forty years, it just froze up. Second time told me to turn right into the wrong shopping center and then led me around in circles and told me I was at my destination when I wasn’t. I don’t know what you guys did to this app, I’ll be looking for alternatives.
