Seem like not updated, the direction always gave different way and not update even after walking way long afar
★★★★ Gene Ivanoff 6/24/2026 v16.19.0.2007

★★★★ Brent Boyer 6/20/2026 v16.19.0.2007
This app gave a wrong error message about my connection being bad until I switched my VPN to use a China server. Then it would not let me do anything unless I entered my cell phone number. It correctly guessed my (non Chinese) country code. But every time that I clicked on the Get verification code, nothing happens. Web research indicates that they actually require a Chinese cell phone number. The app should have warned me about both of these restrictions.

★★★★ Andreas 6/14/2026 v16.18.0.2020
you can't do anything without an account and you don't get one with your foreign phone number
★★★★ Fransisca Dima 6/14/2026
Installed AMap because I want to see the more location info of hotels I reserved in Shanghai. This app could not even find the address of the 1st hotel I searched, when Google Map can. So I uninstalled AMap right away.

it constantly asks me to register my phone number but does not allow to do it with my foreign number. This app is too unfriendly to foreigners!
★★★★ Wong Urip 6/5/2026 v16.09.1.1002
Bloody stupid apps.. simple route but make it very complicated and DANGEROUS...!!!!
★★★★ Jörgen Kratz 6/4/2026 v16.17.3.2034
Can't use it without registering with your phone number and it doesn't accept most phone numbers.
★★★★ Alper Babayoglu 5/30/2026 v16.17.3.2034
didn't work in france.
★★★★ Gh Liang 5/29/2026 v16.16.7.2014
Straight up incomplete, or even incorrect address information
★★★★ Steve Chua 5/24/2026 v16.16.7.2014
Camera function is not working in the dashboard.
★★★★ My Android 5/21/2026 v16.16.7.2014
I don't know what's amazing about this app. Can't even search the correct location in English or Chinese!
★★★★ Charles Vitale 5/19/2026 v16.16.7.2014
when I open it, I always wonder if a person who's in a hurry, maybe in the life or death situation, is ever gonna (and forced to) use it. I never get access to the app first, I get Taobao or any other app opened first (by force) with some tricky ad, in the beginning. I always end up with a Taobao, or Pingduoduo over my screen instead of the map. Now I need to go to 急诊, and instead of quickly calling a taxi or looking for the route, I enjoy the ads. Think about it.
★★★★ Hel 5/16/2026 v16.16.7.2014
just terrible
★★★★ ash cong-bowers 5/16/2026 v16.13.7.1079
bad ui
★★★★ Jono de Wit 5/16/2026 v16.16.7.2014
latest version broken camera scan QR codes
★★★★ Eli pick 5/16/2026
This is a joke... I launch the app, be it English or chinese, it cannot even show me the correct geographical country where the address is based. And many travellers still claim that it is a 'must have app' when traveling to China. I enter in an address I China, it show me Hawaii.. speechless
★★★★ Ryan Keh 5/14/2026 v16.16.6.2001
why do I have to log in for a map?? and the login for non china numbers is broken? verification code button does nothing
★★★★ Daniel Wen 5/13/2026 v13.13.0.1755
poor design, and too many ads
★★★★ taro 5/10/2026 v16.16.6.2001
not too private.
★★★★ Richard Kalusha 5/9/2026 v16.16.6.2001
No language change, unfortunately, and doesn't work in African countries 😕 , why's it written global?
★★★★ George 5/9/2026
why would you release this POS globally if the app doesn't accept international numbers for registration? Who's bright idea was this? This app should be removed from the the appstore altogether.
★★★★ boyohsiao 5/2/2026
論壇上寫手吹的太高 實際用起來失望 可用性不佳而且非常煩
★★★★ Max Blu 5/1/2026

★★★★ Kaielle 5/1/2026

★★★★ Michael Lagunov 5/1/2026 v16.13.7.1079
The UI is so annoying
★★★★ Mohd Azhari 4/29/2026
worst map apps
★★★★ Jeffery Chen 4/29/2026
Terrible user interface, hard to navigate within the app. Rifed with wrong or outdated information. It directed me to drive deep into the ocean to cross Taiwan strait. An obvious attempt at copying Google or Apple map's success but failed miserably. Would give give it zero if I could.
★★★★ M Jackman 4/25/2026 v16.13.0.1257
Use its navigation only, don't make purchase or you'll find out yourself the hard way
★★★★ Tan Teng Shin 4/25/2026 v16.13.0.1257

★★★★ Yongchang Huang 4/12/2026 v16.12.0.1395
Too bad
★★★★★ ACHRAF HAMSI 5/25/2026
In Morocco, many city names are written incorrectly in Arabic, French, and English. This causes poor navigation to some cities. Additionally, the separation shown between Morocco and its Sahara is unacceptable. here are no physical or political borders between them.
★★★★★ Wei Di Lye 5/8/2026 v16.13.7.1079
作为盲人用户,我在谷歌商店下载了高德地图, 但发现它的辅助功能并不友好, 无法完全支持屏幕朗读软件, 导致有些操作很不方便。 另外, 地图的地址位置有时也不准确, 无法导航到具体的住家地址。 希望开发者能够重视这些问题, 在随后的更新中提升无障碍体验, 谢谢!
★★★★★ Steven 4/28/2026 v16.13.7.1079
The app is very slow, considering that it needs to upload and download data from the cloud all the time. it'll be better if this isn't needed
★★★★★ Nahian Hossain (Echo) 4/19/2026 v16.13.0.1257
For Bangladesh, sign-up is not possible due to the need for a Chinese phone number.
★★★★★ 文少 4/14/2026 v16.13.0.1257
没有卫星图(或者说很多地方没有);语音错误识别率很高(主要是开车听歌的时候出现),不能好好导航;推出导航了然后语音输入目的地,结果给我开始介绍目的地,尼玛真离谱
