iGO Navigation Reviews

by Sroown

Yes, previous version was ok and it is available still for download, and as their support state there will be no new maps for it anymore.

Application developers decided to get more money by ditching all prevous loyal customers that they had, so now it backfires at them, all customers that bought this NOT CHEEP navigation review with terrible rate. I have personally switched to the free version of Here WeGo that works like charm!

Avoid this developer and iGONavigation because they will ditch you when least expected!

I feel betrayed; I rely on iGONavigation for Middle East navigation, I purchased it for $65 back in 2013, used it again in 2014 but this December of 2016 I travelled to Jordan rented a car, hooked my iPhone to car charger, opened iGONavigation and fu**, empty map, what!!! I think they should be sued for betraying their customers and this is not an exaggeration because I'm almost certain that this is a compatibility issue with IOS 10. But before apple release an update it sends it to developers to fix their software not to mention that iOS 10 has been released long ago now. So why we customers have to suffer? Because this developer already has our money selling most expensive apps and they don't care!

After waiting a year for resolution to an unusable display that was way too small, it has FINALLY been fixed. However, I frequently use a nav app and music app together on Bluetooth on the speaker of my vehicle. This latest release distorts the music that is playing. Do I need to wait another year for a solution to this? Please fix this, or get out of this business to stop embarrassing yourslf!

Maybe iGO was a good navigator back in Stone Age but as a modern iOS app it’s a total mess.

Only a single day trial? I needed just 30 minutes to delete it.

UI is terrible: it took me several of those 30 minutes to find out how to get back to main menu after I moved and scaled the map. 🤯
Online search as a paid option? Seriously, at this time? Does Google not exist in your reality?🤷‍♀️
And the last thing for me was the impossibility to paste in the search field. Why? What’s the problem with that? Also coordinates. One has either to remember them or to write down on a piece of paper and then enter manually using their special keyboard 🤦🏻‍♂️

I bought old app and it was not cheep after all maps that I bought. They made new app now and my license doesn't work no more, i cant use new app. I need to buy again. They send me notification that i am not going to have support for old one. I try to talk with support they were nasty. So if you like to pay every year for new app that is actually the same like old one this is perfect app for you. Than you iGO

Not working charge phone maps not working

I purchased IGO Primo Western Europe, V 2.5
Last week I planned a trip accross Europe, in preparation wanted to update the maps for France / Germany and Switzerland. Download failed (even with an excellent Internet connection at home), and all my maps were gone….
After MANY trials of re-signing in, resetting, re-authorizing my device (iphone), result comes to the same message, "Regrant Failed, please purchase a license".
I received no response from the numerous emails and feedback sent to the support center ... Rip off, highway robbers, I find this attitude inacceptable, this is supposed to be an open license, very frustrating experience. My recommendation is clear, stay away from IGO, go for the free and EXCELLENT navigation system "navmii"

Not a good app

Why do I see only a map of Australia to download?

by Mcastel75

I purchased iGONavigation in 2016 and no updates have been released. It seems as if the company is not proactively making improvements to meet customers expectations. Most recently, I upgraded my phone to iPhone XS and the rendering of app doesn’t use the entire real estate of the bigger screen that my new phone provides. The company has fallen behind among other apps in its category. It is a shame since at one time this company had momentum and they were moving in the right direction.

Even with IGO audio set to off and sounds muted, opening iGONavigation turns off any audio that’s playing. If I close iGONavigation restart Music app, Music audio turns off when iGONavigation is reopened. I never use iGONavigation anymore - without music, I’d rather be lost :)
Weak work around: While checking out configuration wizard, the audio from other apps started playing again. If I change focus to a different app the audio cuts out again. If I run configuration wizard again without closing IGO, the volume of other apps only goes about halfway up and the volume fluctuates randomly.
Now, new iPhone 13 Pro only shows background color and when viewing whole country you see sone mountain shading. There are no roads, place names, or any detail. When iGONavigation opens it says no maps are downloaded, but they show as installed. (deleted and reinstalled for 3rd time, still no detail).

I use to sing iGONavigation praises. That was before the past 2 days of looking for a GPS signal. Well 2 days and counting . It’s a good thing that I still had a free app to use or I might have been in trouble since this paid one can’t seem to find out where I am . I mean honestly it’s a navigation app . I’m not saying I don’t care for the directions or anything like that it can’t even tell me where I am the phone is able to other app can . I would think that’s something that would work without fault . This use to be my default go to app

I will give it 5 star when Car play support is available !

Please add option to export and import favorites

I’m a bit annoyed that I had to repurchase maps I had purchased for iGo Primo, and I cannot understand why I should download a quarter gig TTS package when iOS offers a perfectly acceptable TTS engine in the OS, but otherwise I see significant improvements over its predecessor. I like the integration of speed/speed limits and the availability of heading information in the navigation view.

Please fix battery drain issue and overheating on iphone 6 +. Old app was perfect no heating and battery was running app 3 times longer. Fix with new update

So, I have seen many sad reviews about it. True! We live in a greedy world where everything is all about the money. NNG is in the same vicious cycle. The former app was bought together with other 7 friends, so was cheap for us. Same thing for the new one.
Now, about iGONavigation : good for now, very accurate and 5 stars for opportunity to have route alternatives. I only use hacked Navigon EU for this thing on my i6 jailbroken. Good looking interface and nice intuitive menu. As far for finding a new address is a big improvement against the old app.
I hope the next update will not screw anything 😂😂

I use iGO since 2006. Back then it was working on PDAs and Windows Mobile. It remains THE best offline navigation system today for IOS. Very intuitive interface, turn by turn directions and warnings, traffic, construction data, multiple countries, 3D maps and much more.

Я обновив iPhone до 11 pro, щоб відновити попередні покупки необхідно це зробити у тій же wifi мережі де робили ропереднє завантаження/ I upgraded my iPhone to 11 pro , to restore previous purchases you need to do it on the same wifi network where you did the preload!

IPhone Maps needs updated
The application does not work on iPhone 12 pro max

I paid money and iGONavigation doesn't work

by Iscrawler

Half a year they cannot fix restore purchase option. 5 months I cannot use package/subscription I bought. Horrible support. And they’re don’t care. I received a few letters from them with ridiculous proposals like login into iCloud account that I did before contacting them and told them in my first support request.

Upd: 6+ months since they’re doing nothing to fix!!!

by Stojic

Very annoying to have to pay again for the maps that already worked for me. It is ok to sell another application, dont update maps for old app, or similar, but to completely close app I've never seen before. This is by far the most expensive app I've invested and got such disrespect.
They should refund all of us if not capable of keeping up with software development.

I don’t know about worldwide navigation but as far US navigation is concerned I loved it! I trust it way better to choose my cycling routes than Google Maps itself!
