Anywhere Map--Aviation GPS for Android
Was great until they crippled it. Payed the full purchase price and then they switched to a subscription based system. Now, even with my old database to use as a reference, I can't even use the app without paying more. So will not run without paying for the updated database subscription.
Now it is junk. I got screwed out of my lifetime subscription, the app will no longer update , their customer service is impossible to get a hold of and they will not return messages. I now use fly-Q and love it
Love the cones of safty... use it all the time . Really like the option to turnoff the sectional it makes it much easier to find airports . This app is great for finding airport info.. it is all in one place and only a click away . That really helps in removing the stress of flying Would like to see more features in up coming updates .
Control Vision employs scam artists to produce false advertising on Google Play. By their OWN admission they receive a cut of Google's profit even though "Paige" from Sales claims they sold all their rights to the app to Google. In other words they enjoy receiving a "cut of Google's profit" yet deny responsibility and self accountability. All this from calling their "Sales" department and speaking with a woman claiming to be "Paige". I currently have an outstanding complaint with the BBB against them.
I did give a good rating in the beginning as it WAS a great app with lost of promises. BUT, Flying Turbo props, and a lot of IFR, they have been promising high altitude charts for several months and they still dont have them out. ALSO! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! they seem to have trouble getting the updates out BEFORE the expiration dates. FAA dont allow flying IFR with expired charts. NOW USING iFLY GPS for Android and love it. IFLY is a lot better than this lousy app. So is iFLY's support team. They respond
I purchased this app and I have been unable to use it as it does not work with my device. On boot up the screen is blue and nothing happens past that. I have sent 3 emails to their support team over the past 3 months with no response. The support link on their web page does not work anymore either. I am very disappointed with their support, not to mention that it just will not work on my device.

Doesn't work on Droid Razr HD.
Now it said updates available so I updated it and I already paid for 2 more years of subscription. Now it says sd card removed (it is not) and says database expired and wants more money and a login and password. These guys have some serious issues. Time to file a complaint with the FAA and U.S. Attorney General for credit card fraud. I already paid!
This has never been as good as the ATC travel companion version. For the last couple years I kept hoping I could use this android version instead. But it has never been fully completed. Still many options have toggles but the feature is not there.
Love it. I still prefer my Nexus 7 android over my buddy's iPad. Note: I don't have weather and traffic IN, so my use doesn' t compare to Foreflight with the Stratus ads-b feature on an iPad
1. The magenta line is so thin it is difficult to see, whether on phone or tablet. 2. Overlaid airport symbols don't line up well with airport symbols on the sectional, creating confusing clutter. And there is no way to suppress the symbols. 3. The airplane symbol is too small to see. These fixes would be trivial to implement. I gave this feedback long ago but they ignored it.

Should have been the leader considering how long it's been around. But rapidly being outpaced by others. After all this time with no update and lack of support I am removing it. I will switch to naviatior. What a waste from control vision you used to be the leader.
App did not work for over a year. 50$ subscription expired so I couldn't even use it anymore. Now app crashes when inputting info on startup. Would like a refund.
Doesn't work on nexus 9. Please fix asap
No response to emails, no callbacks and never answer the phone. Switching to Naviator.
Nice to see devs are updating this now.
Could be a great product - if they would finish it. But, vendor has suspended development with no commitment on when it might continue. Many features unimplemented / don’t work. Definitely no support for XM or ADS-B down link weather. Caveat Emptor. --------------------------------------------------------------- Five months after my first review. Still no XM / ADS-B. No new features. No bug fixes. Database and chart updates broken. Appears to be totally abandoned by the developer. Can I give it zero stars?
No software update since April 12, 2013. Lots of promised features never completed.
Doesn't work on Droid Razr HD.
I just update my RAZR HD to android version 4.4.2. Anywhere Map works great on the phone. I have been using it on a Samsung 7" tablet for 2 years. It is a perfect size for the yoke mount I purchased from Control Vision. I love the app.
ASUS TF700T... Getting there, no updates in quite a while, I hope they don't give up on this app, has potential. Still a bit clunky interface, and the downloads take forever (please add background downloads for charts, etc. My tablet is useless for anything else while downloading, I need to keep the app in the foreground, and not allow the screen to turn off, or lock, both of which are a pain, especially considering the length of time the downloads take...)
I've been using anywhere map for years. If you are real pilot you need this. Beware before you buy as it is not working on my new note 10 tablet but works great on ipad and note 2 phone. Hint: buy and download from their site not playstore.
This was the best flight GPS program in the 2000's but they just don't care anymore. Sell the rights to someone that might actually make it great again. Please!!!!!!
No fix for jelly bean yet! Really! What a waste of money. A lot of neat features but I can't use them. Should have invested in something different. Too bad, I have been with anywhere map since my pda days, but lately I'm thinking cut my losses and run!
Range on final approach should be to approach end of runway.
This app never lived up to its promised functions. I am pleased with Avilition Maps. JM
Not working with android KitKat .... frustrating
Good solid app needs rubberbanding''the only reason it gets a 4 star and not a 5 is because its 50 bucks
Left unfinished... no updates
Weather updates can be sporadic. Especially on weekends. Used to be a good system. Now the owner seems to not care.
Provides all the information needed for navigating around. However one big issue I have is that there is no Canadian data. It would be great if anywhere map provided this info sooner than later. Other than that works great as a moving map GPS.
I am very disappointed that Control Vision has given up on Anywhere Map. It has such great potential.
Using a common Motorola RAZR phone. The app doesn't work at all very disappointed I've owned other anywhere map products and was always happy I guess I just wasted 50 bucks
As a Canadian customer and a previous user of AnywhereMap (in the good old days of PDAs) I'm disappointed with the Canadian maps. Don't believe this is entirely awm fault though. Things look pretty good in the USA where maps are available but in Canada my old PDA / AnywhereMap had more features and map choices. AnywhereMap update is finally here. Looking forward to seeing it.
I have used Anywhere map since the HP iPAQ days. This Android version is a great start but I am disappointed there has not been any sign of improvements (ex: for the grayed out features). I'm not sure about reliability if there are no update fixes. FEATURE REQUEST: download specific airports or smaller regions (plates take forever on high speed download)
I've upgraded to galaxy pro note 12.2 . It doesn't work on this device. Are you doing to fix that? If not I want my money back!
Moving data is nice but I need to backup data for restore in the event of an SD Card failure. I had this happen and 6 GB of data is too difficult to download just before a flight or on a stop-over! Look forward to the other features to be enabled.
