1. 4/5I wanna go whole hog but..

   This app needs a few more features to make me leave Apple behind. The ads are frustrating but it’s ok. The map has to be integrated with Apple Watch apps so that there is something tactile happening to alert us to exits or turns. The app has to be able to pop up on the phone when exits and turns are about to happen. I turned my screen off after opening Mapquest to navigate and it never opened once on my drive. If I’m on a phone call, the app has to have a notification that drops in to advise of upcoming information. Whether it’s an exit, turn or speed check. We also need to provide feedback. Accidents, debris and speed checks! So make the app work in those ways, and I will delete Apple Maps! I’m here for it. And I’d even pay a one time fee to use it, but I won’t pay monthly for gps. I’m keeping Mapquest for another month or so! Hopefully more people run to download it to give developers motivation. The app right now is really a 3.5, but I don’t want to rate a 3! Keep it up and keep going!!

2. 5/5EVERYONE wants me to switch to wake

   I tried.. I really did I downloaded the waze app, spent and hour picking all my options for navigation but I just can't seem to get to a comfort level with waze.. I don't know if I just am resistant to change or if I'm just comfortable with MapQuest but I love this app.. I feel like it has updated to keep up with all the features of the newer apps and has a few upgrades that I love.. the mdot cameras option is absolutely brilliant.. I find myself putting in my destination looking for the closest camera and checking the almost (updates every 15 mins) live traffic cam so I can see what's ahead.. not just traffic but if I don't know where I'm goin I can see what roads I'm heading towards look like.. I love fhe layers and that I can put them in order per my priority level.. just everything... so ladies if ur looking for an app that gets u where ur goin giving u only the information u want along your route this is the best of the best.. your not straining to hear.. your music isn't being interrupted.. your not tapping your breaks looking around for whatever incident waze is warning u about if U r driving with someone and talking u r not interrupted every 30 seconds with reports about disabled cars on the shoulder.. about every stopped vehicle on the shoulder of the road.. I find it very stressful driving when u r constantly tryin to listen to the app give u information that isn't goin to affect your drive.. this is the best app to drive with hands down

3. 1/5Never works properly

   The search function often doesn’t work. When it does (rarely) it waits to tell you when you are within 100 feet of your turn that you are supposed to turn (by cutting across 2-4 lanes to then get into the proper turn lane… ridiculous. Street names have been replaced by turn right in 100 feet. So instead of focusing on the road and driving, you have to guesstimate what 100 Feet is because the app can’t be bothered to tell you the actual street name! Many street names are replaced with CR and a number as if anyone goes by the CR. Ridiculous. So instead of watching the road ahead, you are now forced to look for signs to tell you the CR. The map and instructions do not advance and so while driving, you have to manually advance it so you can have an accurate and up to date idea of where you are in your route. Dangerous distraction. Every time I go to get on I90 the directions never tell me which direction E or W, it always says it’s going to be on the left when both ramps are on the right. Mapquest is a vehicle accident waiting to happen! I’ve deleted, re-added this app several times and it still doesn’t work properly. It’s gotten so bad that at times I just use google maps or another app so I can actually get to where I’m going safely. If there was less that one star review, that would be my review of Mapquest. Years ago it actually worked well. Now it’s a danger to use and drive.

4. 5/5Great Navigation app

   Second#2Update: it’s great and easy to understand and use but seems like the developer just left it be! An update is a must otherwise everything else is great. Update: please update the app, it’s a great app and it’s disappointing if you just let it be… I love this app! Easy to use and many features it offers like the layouts and re-route, and gives you few options to pick from the beginning And Many more:) I pick this over waze or google map unless I get in trouble Just one thing to mention and for first time it gave me a little trouble was: the final destination was close to highway (28 North in VA) and in the highway stopped by saying I’m arrived and location is on the right! instead of take me from different road and take me to the address where I could park! Sorry it’s hard to explain but I think you got what happened. So if there is any way to fix it to take the user closer to the address would be great so I don’t have to stop in the highway where I could see the building but not a great place to leave my car lol But thanks a lot for making this great app available for us:)

5. 5/5MapQuest is better than google maps

   I can use my fingers to pinch and move the map around in circles, side ways etc like Apple Maps that’s in my iPhone. Google maps is difficult to do any of those finger gestures which is a pain when you are driving in the moment. Plus Apple Maps is a pain because it automatically switches routes on you as you drive further into your 1st route that you picked and it’s stressful! When I’m driving I know that I picked route #1 option and refused route 2 or 3 for reasons but Apple Maps will automatically switch the route even when you are trying to exit off or onto a freeway or major intersection which is dangerous!!! It never used to be like that. I can’t stand google maps on my iPhone. Google maps does better on a laptop for research if you’re looking into greater details for research of cities, driving distance, businesses in the area or trying to google drive in their map system to see what an area looks like virtually to plan your move or road trip in general. All in all, gonna try to use Mapquest in my car while driving more often than Apple Maps.

   Nice app except the ads. Most are the scams claiming your phone is infected etc. Can't believe 'you' allow this

4. 1/5

   I actually used to like this app over a year ago. I accidentally updated the version I was using. The new version is completely garbage. I would never recommend this nor would I ever have downloaded it if this was what I first encountered. I am on the hunt to download the old version again. MapQuest go back to what worked better this is garbage. I really dislike the updated app. I don't understand why they ruined something that was really great. I preferred using it over Google maps/Waze.
