Its ok but sucks now the 12th . man's voices have been taken away. Shame on you whereis you suck

Best navigation system I have ever used. And I can install it on my phone. Love whereis for everything, to find out info and pics on where it is I'm going and how to get there, without it telling me to go somewhere I didn't want to go. And for never losing its GPS signal. Love the whereis app.

It has got me to where i need to be every time i have used it. I have had no troubles with it

by K####:

Not a bad app.... finds addresses that others wont. Needs more voices though. Ill give 5 stars once the GPS finds ME quicker though... just takes a tad too long

M70%
by M####:

Frustrating. Every time I try and zoom in to be able to see things clearer, the writing automatically gets smaller! Ridiculous. It's therefore useless to me.

G70%
by G####:

In comparison to other navigation applications (many of which are free!), this application is slow to keep pace whilst driving and thus often leaves the screen out-of-sync with one's position; the directions suggested are often wrong or completely illogical; the application is prone to freezing and the "celebrity" voices are a bunch of no ones. The original WhereIs Navigator ("Garmin Navigator" in the Play Store) is much better... From a reputable company like Sensis, this is a very, VERY poor effort!

Then something changed and now I can navigate anywhere! It just shows me my home. Very disappointed as this was a great app

Can't get it to work. The direction function just skips all over the place and won't work. Used to use this app all the time, will be ditching it.

Has frozen 5+ times in a matter of 2 hours. Have to completely restart samsung s5 for it to work

This app has assisted me when other maps couldn't, as it also lists new housing development areas.

Good solid mapping app with mostly reliable address. The street names are clearly visible, which I didn't get with Google

B70%
by B####:

Simple and easy to use. Map data is correct and takes me to my destination without any problems.

Needs updating more regularly, also some speed tweaks as it is slow

T70%

Uninstalling, crashes constantly, waste of time and unreliable.

Was better than my nav man

I used to love this app now it doesn't function at all. Has no results all the time and the map is just black. I've re installed it and it still doesn't work. Disappointed that Jen Hawkins voice is gone also. And it consistently struggled to find exact addresses when entered, you had to change rd to st etc just for it to find and correct the address to what couldn't find when you typed it in correctly.

Navigation apps are complex and I did not expect much from the first release. The searching should be improved, as should the fluency of the app. Voices are good, but spoken street names would help. Why did you get rid of the celebrity voices? The selection is rubbish now.

by D####:

How many times have you been in the CBD with a building number and can not identify where it is anyway! This eliminates that little panic attack.

Shows new streets that google doesnt have!

It seems that it does not feature the List streets button like the websitte does.

by R####:

I like this app but unfortunately there's no option to let the phone sleep between instructions so it's extremely draining on the battery and also it would b great if the app would store previous trips! Update: App has stopped working properly alltogether, it navigates for approximately 2 minutes then stops giving instructions! Great app!

But I can't type in the destination for navigation because it keeps flashing with predictive searches underneath, I'm using the Google keyboard

THIS APP IS AWESOME. MUCH BETTER THEN GOOGLE MAPS.. I RECOMMEND TO ALL ANDROID USERS..

Doesn't allow you to have multi destinations like their website does. Please allow us to go via multiple locations!

I found this to be an absolutely fantastic handy app, it does avo much, my fave when out of credit, you can send messages! 10 per day per number. 40characters per message but sometimes that's all it takes

This used to be an amazing app. When i am about to drive somewhere i start it. It gives me the wrong direction to turn. It doesnt keep giving instructions so have gotten lost. Pretty poor since i always recommended in the past.

Easy to follow, extremely useful when travelling, thank you
