MapQuest Customer Insights

1. My trip took longer and was about 15 miles longer than if I had just stayed on the freeway in the first place.Sometimes the voice doesn't give warning ahead far enough to turns and exits, but sometimes they're excellent.

2. This app suggested an alternate route using surface streets that bypassed the freeway congestion...which worked great until it was time to re enter the freeway and the entrance ramp was closed! The app wasn't aware of that.

3. It no longer hooks up to my Bluetooth , I don't have voice directions, it stops in the middle of the trip , it gives me wrong directions, it takes me in circles.

4. It COMPLETELY mIssed exits, gave distance/turn directions AFTER the turns and failed to indicate N,S,E,W for routes (ex stay left to take I95, should be stay left to take I95 South).

5. Overall, 5 stars for sure.Used MapQuest since all the way back in the computer & printer days, it has always been my directions app, but it is so horifically glitchy now I'm deleting and trying Waze.

6. The only other thing is I wish it would ask if you are sure you want to delete if you go back too far.when I very first downloaded this app several years ago, it was fantastic! However, over the past view updates, it has become increasingly unusable for me.

7. Now that I'm doing a trip and need it, it doesn't do voice anymore no matter how I try to fix it on android.

8. MapQuest randomly spits out new directions while en route, it randomly closes and stops navigating and I only know if I look over at the phone and see it no longer running.

9. Stop messing with the app if it doesn't need messing with!Downloaded for 2 day trip in Boston.

10. Again voice doesn't give accurate information.This has been a superb app.

11. The houses may be built or may be just a cleared lot but it's confusing when you click on the next closest place you need to go it is not the same address you punched in.
