CityMaps2Go Pro Offline Maps 4+

Excellent app!

I’ve been using the Pro version in Venice and find it excellent. It’s very helpful in navigating complicated streets, I’m really depending on it here. I like that it also shows landmarks. The nap can expand to show a lot of detail and contract to get a wider view. The arrow on the blue dot showing my location even turns as I change the way I’m facing, even if I’m not moving, a helpful feature in general, also when you have no idea which way you’re headed. The map visually is very clear and shows a lot of tiny streets, seems very accurate. It also followed my journey very well on a long boat ride to an island, helped me to identify other islands along the way and to know when I had reached my stop. For me, it’s very useful and well worth the price!

Developer Response ,

Hi, Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you like the app and wish you a nice time using it. Should you have any questions, please contact us at support@ulmon.com anytime.

Not everything it was in the past.

I loved this app so much I purchased the Pro version. I’m an international pilot for a major airline and travel the world. I’m easily responsible for hundreds of subscribers as I have recommended it to anyone I flew with plus friends and family traveling abroad. It helped me pass along favorite, little known sight seeing spots and restaurants I had discovered on my many layovers. In Paris alone I had dropped over 100 “stars”.

Then one day that all ended. Rumor has it that the original developer sold the product and did not transfer the database. For whatever reason, my stars were gone. I texted the managers but got no reply. I’m sure they were swamped with tons of the same question. I loved the app so much I gave them a pass. I started to rebuild my database of stars. Last month an iOS update “bricked” my iPhone XS. As I’m recovering my apps on my new iPhone 14, I download my CityMaps2Go app and once again my newly added stars are gone. If you’re looking for a trustworthy app that you can return to time after time, this is not the one for you. If you’re looking for something in the here and now, get from point A to point B it’s great (hence the 3 stars).

**If, on your trip you drop a lot of location markers (stars), I recommend taking a screenshot just in case…..

No longer being updated? Not working well anymore…

I’ve been a CityMaps2Go user for almost 5 years now, I travel for work a lot and it’s been invaluable to save places I’ve been or want to go. However, CityMaps2Go doesn't seem to be updating, in the older pro version I previously bought when Ulmon was an independent company and now in this newer version and places that do show up on map are no longer selectable. For example, a friend just recommended a pub in Dublin. Searching by name in CityMaps came back with nothing, I had to Google Maps the address and then search by address in city maps. The pub shows by name on the map in CityMaps2Go when searching by address, but I am no longer able to tap on the name, and save a place like previous versions, I have to create a saved place, type in pub name, but can no longer save the address so to be useable to get there, I’d have to go back to Google and search for the address. Also, somewhere along the line, the add a place to CityMaps2Go and reviews feature disappeared. I’m not sure now how the scores come from because I do not know how to do it anymore! As it is now, as disappointing as it is to say, it’s not worth the money. Maybe somewhere along the line my app got corrupted, but I’d skip it. Using iPhone 13 Pro.
