3/5No for me
Regrettably, it's a no from me. My extensive travel requires reliable navigation, and I encountered issues with multiple address searches that your application couldn't resolve. In contrast, Google Maps effectively found all the locations without delay. It appears that your system may need further refinement in this area. To avoid being overly critical, I awarded you a fair rating of 3 stars. Thank you the offer.

4/5Titles of map items
Dear Yandex, Your navigator is very nice for Armenia, just one remark: names of streets and other item are written in most of cases wrong and when i am trying to search some destination in search tab i couldn’t find because you written it like on russian, but english letter. I would appreciate if you change it correct english transcription.

1/5Total garbage
With all due respect I gave this map a decent amount of time, but it couldn't even find basic huge grocery store chains near me, including ones like Walmart. This was completely ridiculous. Even when I found things like a gas station that claimed were near me, it was unable to navigate to it. Also, it for some reason kept changing the languages of locations, even after I manually changed it to display in English. Don't download this app. Even Apple Maps are vastly superior.

1/5Awesome!...if you live in Russia
This mapping system doesn't even recognize the greater Chicago Metropolitan area as a regional area on their mapping system. It's utterly useless to anyone trying to use this otherwise intriguing tool in the U.S. . There's no metadata to support the Apps use here. Why is is it listed here anyway? Did I mention Navi is a Yandex offshoot.......and that Yandex is the Russian "Google"?........I'll leave the rest up to you to figure out for yourself given the current state of cyber over reach occurring across international boundaries today.

3/5Good app, but no Apple CarPlay support
I’ve liked the app but stopped using it after purchasing a car with Apple CarPlay. Yandex doesn’t support it, but Google Maps and 2GIS do. So, I just switched to 2GIS - interface and traffic info are on-par with Yandex. It’s a very strange decision by Yandex - not to develop Apple CarPlay support because of prioritizing Alisa and Yandex Car (which we’ll never see installed in expensive vehicles, unlike Apple CarPlay)
