This app is the only English map that works in China on Android. Unfortunately it requires a Chinese phone number to use and loses many functions in English. Binding Wechat, Alipay, and Taobao can't bypass this login requirement. It's reasonably straightforward to get a SIM card linked to your visa before you even arrive, but not worth the hassle for shorter trips. I wish it just kept the same interface and search settings as the Chinese versions and didn't require a local phone number to login.

It's one of the major Navigation and map app in China. It does have offline map function. However, I guess if you download it from Play store, you're not going to be able to use it in China when you are actually offline or out of signal, which is hilarious. Also, the main page of this app is like a rocket launch control room control panel. I bet it does have 10,000 plus function, but none of it is going to help you navigate to any of the destination you want to go.

The app needs some improvement for user outside China. I can't register the account using my phone since the app can only recognize China's moble phone number. Also, when setting the street address for navigation, thr app doesn't really recognize the street name and city. I tried several times and find it better to use shop, company, or tourist attraction nearby for finding my destination. But the navigation is pretty good after correctly setting everything.

Useful map, and good that they finally added English but language support is still lacking in general. Most annoying is that it insists on me adding my phone number to use anything beyond the most basic functions. Why do you even need this? It's a bit creepy! Not only that but the list of countries that it will accept phone numbers from is super limited and it won't allow mine. Could be a good app if you didn't insist on collecting people's private data and just make a map.

2 stars for being better than nothing in China and sometimes working. But: terribly unreliable. Arrow never points in right direction. Often can't find an address and gives you seemingly random places to choose from. Sometimes suggests bus routes that don't exist. Worst fail: sent me on a 2 hour journey from a railway station to my hotel including walk along a highway and sending me through a prohibited area (a guard stopped me). The way back took 35 mins.

After the update, during the National Holiday and Autumn Festival the English navigation voice was not working, making navigation for us as foreigners extremely difficult. Please make the voice navigation available again. It was fixed and it's definitely the best navigation app for China
