Comments on RTA Smart Drive for Android

★★★★★ Muzaffar Iqball · Nov 21, 2025

Hi love this map always is working when your net was off this is real working map try this map every body

★★★★☆ Ury Matarazzo · Oct 16, 2025

This is very good app. It's much better than Google Maps to navigate in Dubai by driving. It instructs you to turn left or right and how many lanes are possible at the exact time based on current location. However, at the point: 55° 16' 11.01'' E • 25° 12' 8.22'' N The navigation does not tell to go left or right, and it may mislead the user.

★★★★★ Indra Chauhan · May 2, 2025

This is an amazing map, it works both online and offline giving 💯 percent accuracy of the location, it guides with the correct lane to be in and advance multiple notification for the exit or lane change, which makes the driver easier and safer for drivers on the roads. We must thank the RTA for this wonderful app, RTA teams knows better what the drivers need on the road.

★★☆☆☆ sarash shajar · Feb 28, 2026

The only good thing about it, that it works offline. Nothing else, I wonder if anyone is developing it. Never reached a destination from the first attempt. Wrong ways, showing roads when there are no roads. Such a random indicator.

★☆☆☆☆ Wakanda · May 26, 2026
