Love it

MRA Nav

The app is showing a lot of promise and is continually improving. However, it simply is not there yet. And as such, the reason for the review rating at this moment in time.

The app appears to be largely European based, and it also seems that as a result, it’s functions tend to lean that direction. Impactful issues, such as high battery drain and small fonts make it difficult. It struggles to show gas stations and if it does, the icon is so small it isn’t recognizable. The ability to add a stop when the app is in use is non existent. It’s ability to show upcoming traffic issues/slowdowns is very much lack packing - they are there, but the lines/colors tend to get hidden by the route line itself, and when these issues do appear, it’s too late to adjust the route anyway. Even if you could adjust, it simply wants to put you back on the same route after it has recalculated anyway.

Not ready to give up on it by any stretch, waiting for improvements to be made where it truly can rival the big guns like Google and Apple.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your elaborate feedback!

The upcoming 4.0.5 update includes quite some improvements you will enjoy.
Adding fuel stations along your route is added along with adding other stops you choose.

It is true that we are European based. We are constantly improving and hope you will enjoy the app more and more over time.

If you miss a waypoint, you are sunk

This App uses user defined waypoints to outline a route. I’ve found that if you miss a waypoint for any reason, like a detour or in 1 case, because we pulled into a gas station, the App keeps trying to direct you back to the missed waypoint. So if you continue on the route, the App becomes unusable. The App is supposed to skip the missed waypoint if you reach the next subsequent waypoint but this did not work for me. Basically this App is only useful if you know where you are going….
