| 2024-12-17 |  | | 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 Help docs are outdated and often useless.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. |
| 2024-10-29 |  | | 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! |
| 2024-09-26 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-09-11 |  | | BAD SORTING: When using the navigation feature to navigate through points, when the names of the points are sorted by name, the sorting is incorrect. For instance I have CS1, CS2, C3..., C28. But the sort goes like CS1, CS10, CS11, CS..., CS19, CS2, CS20. This wrong. Please fix this because it leads to wrong navigation waypoints, or at least provide a way to rearrange the points |
| 2024-01-06 |  | | Locus Maps has redefined navigation with its outstanding Audio Coach feature, ensuring stay-awareness of my stats without constant screen checks. Additionally, its compatibility with Tasker and a developer-friendly API opens up endless customization possibilities, setting it apart as the ultimate navigation app. For an unparalleled and personalized experience, Locus Maps is a must-have. Highly recommended! I love locus :-) |
| 2023-12-22 |  | | Ive been trying to use this app to navigate between two GPS points without success, for a long time! It regularly prompts me to download additional data to be able to use the navigation feature, of course agreeing to download said data changes nothing, the prompt reappears each time. I have not once successfully used it. This should be so much simpler and easier! |
| 2023-12-21 |  | | Undated to 2 stars since I apreciate that at least someone is adding some comments to my review I shouldn't have to contact you after most of the updates though. Crashing crashing crashing... Still usable I guess but it used to be an excellent app. With every update I notice how is becoming slower and slower. It gets very annoying to navigate the offline maps. Barely responding. Also now crashes every time at least once while recording a track, so I end up with gaps in recordings |
| 2023-11-06 |  | | locus, quit responding to whinos who complain about paying for subscription. this is a great app, unfairly down rated by whinos. subscription model allows for innovation and sustainable business model. i have used and paid for many map apps and locus is by far the best map app that i've used. i gladly pay the subscription for regular maintenance, support, innovation and keeping locus in business for many years to come. for me, this is a safety product. i feel so grateful for locus. thank you. |
| 2023-07-22 |  | | So far it's been ok, was easier to load maps unlike avenza..... however like one user here Elvis, I've been having the same issue of recording a track, and haveing it dump out on me, this also happened 2x yesterday while trying to navigate, good for 20-30 min then drops out, so we'll see what tech support says. |
| 2022-11-09 |  | | The old version was A LOT better. The UI was more intuitive and the pricing model was reasonable. The behavior of the menu is outright annoying. They're charging more for a lesser quality product. Users never want the GUI randomized. Never. The classic navigation was easier for new and experienced users. Version 4 was designed by an expert for an expert. Ambiguous icons without labels are guessing game. It was not made with a new user in mind and it makes supporting users extremely difficult. |
