Mapper Reviews

I like this extension a lot. The only problem I’m having is that links with coordinates don’t work. It opens Apple Maps but instead of showing the address at the respective coordinates, it shows an “undefined” place. Since Google Maps links with coordinates is what I primarily want to use this extension for, I can only give three stars.

wish it worked for waze links also

Such a little change but makes your day more efficient! I would always have to go to the google web browser and have to copy and paste then go to the maps app. But Mapper made it so easy thank you!

Would recommend

My husband insists on using google maps. I strongly dislike it’s user interface and much prefer Apple Maps. This makes it super easy to find an address he sends me via text! Instantly redirects and opens in Apple Maps!

just wanna thank you for creating Mapper.

i prefer Maps over “the other one”, and hey when links try to send me to the Google maps webpage, or encourage me to download Mapper . with this extension, I’m taking straight to Maps, and am directed accordingly.

thank you!

I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your amazing app. It is truly the best app ever made and fulfills a need I've had since Apple Maps came out. The inclusion of Waze is incredible! Thank you and your team for this outstanding app!

Seems to work great so far. Detects all of your map apps and lets you choose the one you want as default. Then clicky a map and wah-la (yes, I know, it’s voila) you get Waze or Apple Maps or whatever you want. Also runs fine after closing the this app app. Thumbs up.

Fantastic to see that both on my iPhone and my Mac, I can search for places and click on directions or the map and actually get results in Apple Maps instead of having to use the website. Perfect!

Google search results sometimes don’t even let you select the address… why didn’t it occur to me to do this myself? LOL… well, either way, this works, it’s simple and easy to get installed and set up (very minimal serup), and it works!

Heard about this on Mac Power Users and went and downloaded it before they could finish describing it. This google maps thing has always driven me crazy. So this is so nice. I’ve been typing in addresses just to try it for like 3 minutes now. Lol. Thank you! Such a great extension

It does exactly what it says. Nothing more. Nothing less. I’d give 6/5 stars if I could— despite the fact I am not normally one to ever write a review , for anything. But I just wanted to let others know it works, and thus a great solution for fixing such a simple thing—and so very simple of a thing that both you, I, and everyone else— who are also already here; had the reasonable, (and logical) expectations that Apple would have had already built this natively into their own systems itself (as in for both: IOS, and iPad OS) by now. And yet, here we are still,—even in 2025. But Mapper works just fine even in the newest and year so I am quite fortunate to the developer of this third party app/extension. And the updates they continue to provide for me.

An awesome feature that should be a part of the operating system. My one issue is regarding the extensions is the requirement for access to all website data. Other similar extensions request data for specific websites being redirected, which is how it should be for Mapper as well.

Update: if the access to all website data is left at “ask”, specific websites can be picked allowed to be accessed by this extension without giving it access to all websites. Thank you for the response!

redirecting navigation from the browser to the native Maps app seems like something really simple, but for a long time, apple has prioritized unnecessary little features and UI changes over simple stuff like this.

i'm glad that this extension exists. thank you to the developer for making my job as family navigator a lot easier.

Thank You for creating this extension makes life easier and I’m all about that . I’m a service technician and I use gps everyday and I have become more and more a Apple Maps user , I came over from a long time of using google maps. And I hate that every address that gets texted or emailed or googled is a google hyperlink . So this is well worth the cost

I searched & searched (and searched some more!) for a way to make Apple Maps the default app when I needed directions from a google search and there is absolutely NO WAY… until now!! Mapper fixed this problem that should have had a simple solution to it & has been driving me crazy! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!

Alright so i thought it was gonna be some trash app that wasn’t developed correct , but for .99 cents it does what it’s suppose too , like bro google maps is not it , but i use apple maps and i just hate how it redirects me to google maps but when i found this it was like life saver , cause it’s fast instead of typing the whole address you know? but it’s pretty worth it for .99 cents

In a world where linking to Google Maps is the default, this app is a must-have extension for those that prefer Apple Maps.

this app works consistently on my iPhone to open Apple Maps, which provides a much better experience than Google Maps. It does fail with 5% of links that are edge cases: certain coordinates or Google-proprietary Plus Codes for example. Excited to continue using this on iPad and Mac now that “Apple Maps on the web” is in beta.

Mapper finally returns things the way they should be. The iPhone used to let you select your preferred map program but some court somewhere stopped that. Most websites seem to send you to google maps for directions. Mapper redirects you to Apple Maps.

Be aware that this app’s directions say to tap on the AA in the google address bar. My phone shows a small box with 2 lines under it. Also remember to select only one map program and tell it only with this one (not all).

This is honesty the best Safari extension out there for anyone who uses Apple Maps. It has always been so frustrating clicking on the directions link only for it to redirect to Google Maps, having to copy and paste the address into Apple Maps instead. It just works, it makes your iOS device just a little more Apple like. After having used the extension, I’d be willing to pay much more than the 99 cents it costs. If you use Apple Maps, this is a must have extension!

Yes, I know some people love Google Maps…I’m not one of them. Thankfully, Mapper will redirect map directions from Google to Apple Maps rather than taking me to the Google Maps page where it constantly tries to make me download the Google Maps app. This is perfect and exactly what I needed. Well worth the small price for such a nice convenience.
