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

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 Rifed with wrong or outdated information.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

★★★★ Calderon De La Barca 4/14/2026
nonstop crashing and not even accurate for most of the places!
★★★★ Yongchang Huang 4/12/2026 v16.12.0.1395
Too bad
★★★★ Ollie Burton 4/8/2026 v16.12.0.1395
Unusable. Claims to have poor network so can't search despite perfect networking. Constantly prompts to create account and the process doesn't work no matter which method I choose
★★★★ Katie Prescott 4/6/2026 v16.12.0.1395
It's a pretty basic map, conveniently in English for tourists. However, it constantly asks me to register a phone number (and doesn't accept most foreign numbers) to be able to do basic things like see reviews of places. Also, it doesn't show the Chinese characters for saved places or things like stops along a bus route, and the pinyin is missing tones, making it really frustrating to use.
★★★★ Tony Dawson 4/1/2026 v16.12.0.1395
I can't find setting for English. All buttons appear in Chinese.
★★★★ Sparik Hayrapetyan 4/1/2026 v16.12.0.1395
barely usable, asks to register with a phone number after every character you type. the phone number must be from a small list of seemingly random countries
★★★★ John HHU 3/27/2026

tidak akurat
★★★★ Celso Coutinho 3/20/2026 v16.11.0.1522
miles away from Google maps
★★★★ Sarawak Lens 3/19/2026
It's so slow and laggy, making it very frustrating to use. unfortunately we are forced to use this incompetent app while traveling in China because gmaps doesn't work well there.
★★★★ Dany Gunawan 3/18/2026 v16.11.0.1522
Cannot verify phone number from Indonesia with 10 digits number. Please fix it. The prefix is correct +62, but i cannot add another 9 digit.
★★★★ derek tay 3/16/2026 v16.11.0.1522
Lousy app
★★★★ 3/12/2026 v16.10.7.1001
Cannot delete account despite requested many times. Typical China app!
★★★★ tornado twenty2 3/9/2026
worst .. recalculate road is late and freeze.
★★★★ gg tomhahaha 3/9/2026
ride-hailing will assign a 10mins away driver to you. No full refund if cancel. Not recommended
★★★★★ 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
★★★★★ vincent phang 3/22/2026 v16.10.7.1001
No Android car play function
★★★★★ Jason Ball 3/20/2026 v16.10.7.1001
I found it useful and it's the best available however some further refinement is required. I wish the saved favourites could be separated into different categories rather than have one giant long list. It seems the Chinese version already supports this feature. After significant messing about, I was able to register without a Chinese telephone number using the web client.
