What they complain about
- Directions fail without internet connection

Great Walking Map and Info
Used all over the world. Shows points of interest with Wiki info, tagged spots for reference, etc. Highly recommend.
Not too functional
Lacking a lot of practical information. Can’t find topo lines. Not user friendly. Seems to be written by a techie.
Please make this Apple CarPlay compatible!!!
This is an awesome app!! I use it a lot for traveling on motorcycles, off-road! I love the downloadable features for use without service! Only problem is it’s not Apple CarPlay compatible so I’m not able to use it on any larger screen device.
nicht wirklich kostenlos
zumindest in deutschland hat man nicht überall aussreichende internetkonnektivität um sich onlinekarten anzusehen. Daher ist es nervig, dass die offlinekarten kostenpflichtig sind.
Seems to be a great app but…
I like a lot of the features of this app, but one of the real problems for me is that it doesn’t seem to sync like it promises to between Apple devices. When I travel I use both my iPhone and my iPad , and they need to be able to sync with one another. They claim to do this, but when I Google it on the Internet apparently it’s been a problem for several years.
Just needs carplay
Give it Carplay support and it is 6/5 stars
Map sizes dramatically inflate! USA download 2.2 GB grows to over 6.5GB!
If the marketing is saying small map sizes and when reviewing download says 2.2 GB but cannot download till purchased. Download then inflates to over 3X its download size after purchase then that is misleading. If your download need to decompress 3X state it in on the app and in your marketing.
Map cords too small
Great app. Main issue is that the coordinates at the bottom cannot be made larger. There is a text size setting, that only works for some text on the map. I also need it bigger on the cords please. Thx.
GPS doesn’t work
This app would be brilliant if the GPS worked offline… great topographical maps but no navigation. I used it for 3 months trekking in Italy and it was awful. It showed me where I was at the start of the day before I set out, then that was it. So disappointing
Super App
Schon viel benutzt. Ich würde es total feiern wenn eine Einhandbedienung ala Google Maps möglich wäre.
Great app
I have used this all over the world. Just download the state or country. Easy peasy. They take space so don’t forget to delete them when your trip is over.
Crashes all the time
Crashes all the time.
Great platform
I do have suggestions
Great app but
I purchased this app some time ago and have enjoyed using it immensely. Unfortunately I can no longer view topographic maps. Im not sure what the problem is and I don’t seem to be able to get a response from the developer. I suspect Pocket earth wants me to purchase Pro so has removed features. When I purchased this app there was no Pro.
Neue Version mit Verschlechterung
Eigentlich super App mit bestem OSM-Karten-Download (geringer Platzbedarf, hohe Auflösung, einfache Auswahl von Städten oder ganzen Bundesländern). ABER: seit der neuen Version 3.7 gibt es keine durchsichtigen Farben für Pfade und Routen mehr, statt dessen zusätzlich schwarzer Rand. Das ist schlecht! Man kann weder den Straßen- oder Wegetyp unter dem Pfad erkennen noch dessen Beschriftung/Namen. Bitte dringend korrigieren: Wenigstens als Option den schwarzen Rand ein- oder ausblenden und mindestens eine durchsichtige Farbe!
Top five apps of mine
Goes above and beyond normal "apps"; this is like having superpowers. Offline waypoints, GPS tracking in snow covered conditions, what3words locations, this app has had one of the four coveted spots on my iPhone's dock for years. I am able to pull answers out that friends can't find, locate hidden gems, and track trails that other maps don't show. Get it and pay for it, because it's worth it. This review is not sponsored; I'm just a big fan.
Won’t download maps anymore
Every time I try to download maps on a cellular connection, it says there is no connection even when I have checked the box to allow cellular downloads.
Had some difficulty
Search function not returning any results. User interface sometimes awkward. User manual is not real clear, and there seems to be no online support or "Contact Us" for getting questions answered. I'm trying to use it, but it has not been helpful when I'm in a hurry.
Great for browsing maps useless for navigating
Review based on paid version The quality of the maps is fantastic with good detail including topographic contour lines. . This makes it a great app for browsing the map. But it’s a very poor gps navigating app. It requires online access whenever you deviate from the original route which makes it virtually useless outside mobile phone network coverage. It cannot display a 3D view Looking ahead like other gps navigations apps. Planning a route is also more painful than other navigating apps. In summary if you want to just browse and explore maps then this app is great. It’s also great as a flight tracker if you use it aboard an aircraft as the app displays speed and altitude. But if you want a dedicated true offline gps navigation app then get something like magic earth.
In der praktischen Verwendung unbrauchbar
Wunderschöne App mit guten Ideen und es hätte etwas grosses werden können. Aber die kryptische Bedienung und Logik, sowie die Tatsache, dass die App eigentlich nie das macht, was man gerne möchte, macht sie für praktische Zwecke unbrauchbar. Intuitive Navigation, einfache Verwendung von importierten GPX Dateien in eigene Routen etc. sieht anders aus. Sehr schade. Die Offline-Karten sind prima. Einfach als Karte ist die App OK, deswegen immerhin 3 Sterne.
Great maps
Great site. You find where your going and open the map then keep that spot and your set
The PRO app is listed as free app of the day and ITS NOT!!!
The PRO app is listed as free app of the day and ITS NOT!!! I hate apps that do that. What's the deal?
Pocket Earth
Awesome tool. Wiki feature is very nice for touring especially in Europe. I like to save favorites places and at end of trip create a route showing all the places visited. Not happy with lack of map updates that I find in OSM but not in app
Charges for FREE maps
Why charge to download FREE online maps?? Un-installed.
Gpx-Import leider nicht mehr wie bisher möglich
Bisher konnte man gpx-Files einfach nach Pocket Earth exportieren. Dies geht leider seit dem letzten iOS Update nicht mehr. Schade. So kann ich diese sehr geschätzte App leider nicht mehr sinnvoll nutzen. Bitte, liebe Entwickler, schaut Euch das mal an und korrigiert diesen bug.
No cell service -no problem
Adventure motorcycle guy told me about this App. I use it all the time-especially when I have no cell service. It is a must have if you go out in the dingle berries.
Terrible app
Impossible to navigate. No instructions
Great
Works exactly as suggested.
File sizes too large!
UK map is now 1.3 GB up from a mere 500MB! If this is a glitch, please fix, as Uk is a small country and roads there dont change often. Otherwise, too big for my iPad. :-(
Fantastic - but where are the track markings from?
This app (pro version) I use constantly to drive my 4x4 7ton motorhome through Australia. But... Doesn't everyone has the hole Pro map covered with blue and red thick marked walking tracks and bus lines? They cover dead end roads and so many streets, that it's irritating. I use PE Pro on an Ipad2 with newest IOS. Is this a bug? Only on Ipad2? What can I do? I downloaded none Pro and no tracks marked there. Topo now 15$. Did you guys offered topo to basic PE for 100% price rise and made PE Pro useless to make people switch over and buy Topo again??? looks like it
Just used in Addis Ababa
Got stuck in traffic in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and pulled out this app. Found a side street that got me on a main road I was familiar with, got home in just 10 minutes later than we planned. Love this app as we live in our host country, Ethiopia!
Waste of time and money.
Google maps and Apples are better and free.
great for exploring
i find this app helpful to review areas i explore on my motorcycle. i do find the interface a little less than intuitive (i deleted a ride yesterday in error and i really wanted to see the woods i was exploring at home yesterday) but the app works great when i use it correctly. a stop/pause and then end route would be nice. i deleted thinking i was marking the end of my route. overall though the app is great to use offline and doesnt seem to drain the battery as much as expected. plus its free, thanks!
Good but broken
Love this app but currently crashes when I try to open it.
Many great features
Two complaints in an otherwise solid app: (1) Minor roads only appear when you zoom pretty far in. They should be visibility at pretty much all zooms as very light lines (for example). (2) Road labels don’t appear on minor roads until you are zoomed way, way in. These are vector maps, so all the data is there at all zooms - the developer just chooses not to display it for us. Give us a switch/option to “show all roads”, for example - some of us would choose to have a busier map for certain applications, given that is has more information.
Great for Travel
This app has amazingly detailed maps of the major cities. It even shows where restrooms and traffic lights are. Upgrade to Pro for $9 to download maps for offline use, then plan & save your routes. It's great for travel when you don't want to use too much data. For me, this is a godsend.
Does not work offline as stated
Really unhappy because I purchased the world maps and tried to get route guidance while offline but got repeated alerts asking to establish internet connection so in fact the app does NOT "work completely offline" as stated in the description. The maps do appear to download and I guess some people are happy with how this app works for them but I barely made it to my destination. Please update so that it truly does work completely offline and I'll be happy to change my rating. Requesting a refund from Apple is too cumbersome.
Works great!
Great program, and nice accuracy all around. The only drawback is it can be a little slow loading, and it has to reload every time you zoom when you aren't connected to wifi.
Takes a little to get use to
Offline maps stopped working for me in this update. I have large blank areas in states where It previously worked great while offline. On 8.4 iPhone 6
Crashes on iPad
Latest version crashes on iPad (iOS 8) but not iPhone. Okay on iPad running iOS9. Please fix. Was fine before last week's update.
Best Travel Buddy
This app has been a life saver for me many times while traveling around the world. Easy to find necessaries like grocery stores, bus stops, toilets, campsites, and much more. Everything has its own unique symbol. You can save the places that matter to you which make the symbols bolder than the regular ones. The topographical maps have been a lifesaver choosing routes that are doable with heavy backpacks. And I love that you can create personal saved points and label and color code them! I label all the fun things like where I found a wild animal or bee farm or a good campsite. etc! And I also like highlighting big things like the tourist destinations I want to see because your personal points stand out over the other ones even when you zoom out really far. The only thing is to be careful not to have the map start looking to crowded and messy with enlarged, highlighted points.
iPhone 5s Crashes
Can't review, crashes as soon as you open it on iPhone 5s with iOS 7.
A very handy map app
I have tried quite a few maps and atlas type apps and this is my favorite for traveling. Is has city maps for all major cities of course but it also covers many smaller places as well. The guide books are also a nice feature.
Won't route without internet connection
It won't work without internet connection or wifi.its not really an offline map
Map routes
Unless I was doing something wrong the app wouldn't give me a direction route unless I was online. So I could see the maps off line perfectly I couldn't get any directions
Not much Topo detail
I found that there is not much detail to elevation lines and wetlands are not marked very well if at all. I mainly download it for use offline with what3words
Lol
Only Ireland !
Good app
Awesome. Just needs refresh of OSM data more often
Can't really be used offline
I thought this would be the solution for getting around while out of the country without paying foreign data rates. It's not. You can't do something as basic as get a route to a landmark without being online. I was left clumsily trying to drive while repeatedly looking down at my screen to see where on the map I am since I couldn't plan a route or get turn by turn directions without being online even though the full map had been downloaded to my phone. I don't see the point of this if it can't give you directions without being online.
Very limited demo
Only shows Ireland, so I don't know if this will fulfill my needs or not. Am NOT willing to pay three dollars to find out it is not what I need after all. It does zoom in very closely to a chosen city in Ireland, though, but that is not what I am wanting. I wish to have a quality atlas that shows all the countries on each continent, and also zooms into each city.
