Legitimately the best app

This is legit the best app for this sort of thing that is also free. I am one of those people who could look at a map all day and not get bored so when I found MapChart online years ago I got really excited. Now that I have the app on both iPhone and iPad I am surprised that it actually works surprisingly better than I thought it would. Considering how most apps like this are hard to operate on smaller devices, I found the app to work just as good if not better. The one thing I DO NOT LIKE is that when I am working on a map and I log out or close the app, when I come back later the map is erased. I have had multiple maps delete themselves. While this problem shouldn’t bother most people with s small, quick project that they finish in one sitting, it can be really frustrating when a full map gets deleted because you didn’t save it. Hours of work gone and I don’t know where to get it back. Oh well. Maybe I am doing something wrong but I feel like the app shouldn’t delete these things so easily. There is the option to save your map but that hasn’t worked for me and it doesn’t seem to allow you to re-edit the map after you have saved it, or even access it. I give this app 5 stars because of how easy it is to use but I would have to take away points for this one broken feature.

Thank you very much for your 5-star review and the kind words!There is an autosave feature, that keeps track of your progress while editing your map. Then, when you use the same map again, you can restore your progress using Actions > Restore Configuration > autosave > Restore. This should be working, even if you close the app or put it in the background. If you are still facing this issue, please let me know at contact@mapchart.net, so I can further troubleshoot it.

Good App And Suggestions

Hello creators of MapChart! I love your app but I have a few suggestions that many people have mentioned (please add these please!!!!). Firstly, if I want to use the subdivision map to make fictional timelines, I have to color the whole subdivision for it to work. And with this, I would wish you added the feature of having a pen to make borders more realistic if making a war map. Secondly, I wish that you make your own maps with their own borders. Thirdly and lastly, I would wish that there was a feature to make big boxes and color them in (making them transparent) to show the country. For example, if I wanted to color French Polynesia (French Territories that are so small) I could look for the box instead of looking for the tiny island, which would combing with the custom border feature. And if you still don’t get what I mean by “boxes”, watch some Geography and Space Videos and see the video of WW2 in the pacific. As you can see, you would see the flag of the country and instead of being on the tiny island, it included the area around it. Well.. that’s all! Hope that you can add these features!

Best Customizable World Map for Mobile

Got to say, I love this, there is just endless possibilities that you could do and there are so many things you could use it for, whether it’d be projects, groups, or just for yourself. I enjoy the many different settings and customizations that you could add to make it fit for your taste and how well it was made. Although one suggestion, possibly add the ability to customize borders a little more detailed? For example, let’s say I select World Map 1938, Yugoslavia invaded a little piece of Italy, Greece, and Bulgaria. Now yes, Yugoslavia is screwed 😅, but in terms of borders, I can only color the entire country. Also same thing if the country captures smaller than the actual province itself (because of war, revolt, etc.)Other than that I still think that the app is amazing and that the creator is doing a nice job!

This map is one of the best apps I’ve every seen. There’s really nothing like it. You can create almost anything while using this app. But I have a few suggestions for idea’s for maps. So I was thinking you could add a rural municipality map for Canada. Because I was thinking if you guys did it for Brazil, you could do it for Canada. And you guys could make premium only maps. It would be another reason to get premium. And this next one is interesting. What if you could make your own map? I mean make the borders and everything. I don’t know how it would work but it would be very cool. And the last thing is if you could add the province borders in the Canada-Census Divisions map, that would be great. But anyways those were some of my suggestions. Again one of the best apps I’ve ever seen.
