It's the least user friendly app I've ever used. Help docs are outdated and often useless. Yet I continue using it (and paying for it!) because it's powerful if you manage to get the app to do what you want. It's painful. 3 stars.

I have been using Locus since the early days of the first version, which is more called "classic". It has been superior to anything else in this class. And it continues to be superior. I must admit that current license model is fair, despite being a subscription. Many thanks for this really good application!

I have purchased the previous generation called Classic, bought the maps. I recently purchased newer maps for the v4, that have to my best knowledge no real extra contribution to the OSM ones they copy, and they are still pushing me ads. No i dont want your subscriptions and i will be moving to better positioned navigation apps.
