I use this app with the Tom maps when I travel, and have found it very user-friendly with crystal clear maps and verbal directions. It's great. I've now been using this app for over 10 years, and I still think it's great. I've tried both Waze and Google Maps, but I think Navigator is better when I travel. I particularly like the large purple arrow, which I only have to glance at quickly to know if I'm going the right way.

Excellent offline navigation app the quick view switch button is addictive! I just wish they had a lifetime maps subscription plan, as others do.
★★★★☆Kleio Doraiba· May 17, 2026
5-star reward for 5, or more, years of satisfactory usage. A minus star for three(3) reasons: a)map update actually represents one(1) month old OSM data, b)after map update, disabled links are reset. Restore function doesn't help, aka disabled links function is useless if you want up-to-date maps, c)turn-by-turn instructions frequently are chaotic, tells you to turn, although you simply have to keep on the main route. What's the point to go straight on a dirt road, or why to turn on a minor road?

Re reviewing this app, I've used this as well as other apps for several years. Personally I'd say this is my favorite. The update which added the new color schemes is great. It allows you to customize your route color and icon now as well as your maps. The app works great on my S7, and I've had no issues. It's easy to use and easy to set up favorite destinations. UPDATE. It's now 2026 and despite having had several cars with satnavs this is still my go-to navigation tool

The app needs major improvements. Routing problems — Sends you onto closed or inappropriate roads while ignoring clear expressways. Audio and visual issues — Confusing beeps and unclear visuals. The danger indicator is tiny and unexplained, offering no clue about what the danger actually is. Overall, it adds stress instead of helping you drive safely.

No update since last year. This app needs updates, it's not perfect. Layout is clunky No map settings? Cannot edit saved? It's possible to have 3 separate subscriptions within this app? Really? Edit. App has not been updated since Sept 2025. Nothing is unfair, it's all accurate. Edit. You want to charge a sub for the app another sub for the maps and another sub for traffic. The major points I pointed out, plus the fact no one cares enough to update your app. No, thanks.

Go to PAID tomtom maps download bottom half is taken by ad. RLY? Other topic: on Android Auto, the dark green, red or orange values are much more difficult to read (traffic related, I think). I have NOT purchased the HD Traffic to obtain a difficulty... is there any way to return to the READABLE white numbers, or have you purchased this "feature" from the same Pajeet coding tema as Sygic? By the way, this particular "feature" was the reason of refund from Sygic request. Entirely up to you
