As a loyal user from mainland China, Amap has always been my favorite navigation app. It has guided me through so many places over the years, and I’ve always loved it — especially the different voice navigation options!But after using it in the United States, even though it’s now barely usable here, there are still two major issues I really want to point out.First: a huge number of addresses simply cannot be searched or navigated to because they’re not in the system.Second: there’s no convenient switch between kilometers and miles. In the U.S., all road signs and speed limits use miles, so using kilometers is really inconvenient while driving.I’ve tried contacting the Amap team through different channels many times, but unfortunately I never got any response.

It was good at first. Then after a while it would gradually start showing “no internet connection” when I try to open the detail page. Instead it will redirect you to the log in page.(the internet is perfectly fine the whole time) And then after the app learned that I don’t need the detail page to do my basic search, it will show “no internet connection” when I perform any basic search. I totally understand that you don’t have the access to certain functions when you don’t log in, but this is disgusting because it could be dangerous when someone is out there and suddenly the navigation stops working. In my case l had a Chinese number before, but at the moment I simply can’t register with my foreign number. Apparently all this company wants is to collect your personal data.

I’m a big fan of this app. Was actually introduced to it because one of my favorite actors (Wang hedi) is their sponsor. I’m visiting China for the first time in 7 years and having this app is absolutely life changing going around. I’m able to find recommended sites, restaurants, order taxis, and even got tickets to the movie for a much cheaper value. I wish something like this existed in the States. Also love using the friends and family tracker. Honestly this is THE must have app in China. I will be recommending this to everyone who plans on traveling to China anytime soon or in the future.

AutoNavi used to be the best English GPS in China for English speaking foreigners. I have lived here for 10 years and when I received my drivers license and car, I used it exclusively. Then suddenly it stopped working and would default to this Amaps with No English option and I cannot use. I now started using Apple maps or Waze as only English options I have been able to find. I really wish Amaps would bring back the English version, as it used to be the best English GPS here in China. So, I have to vote 1 star as I cannot vote no stars, as it is not giving me that option. Please Bring Back English Version!!!

Edit: a recent update has made my saved locations not show any info no more when you click on them. It now just goes to the log in screen which I can’t use since I have a foreign number. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I would love this app if you would make it so foreigners could log in with our own phone numbers. Or at least allow us to link our WeChat or Alipay accounts without having to use a Chinese phone number. When that happens I’ll give 5 stars. I travel to China once a year and it would be nice to be able to log in and not lose my saved places.

Works flawlessly with Tesla, but check the language and units.The app itself is great and integrates perfectly with my Tesla Model S and Model Y. The navigation is accurate and reliable.However, there are two significant drawbacks for English speakers:1. Language: The app defaults to Mandarin upon installation. It's a bit confusing to navigate the menus to find the language setting and change it to English. The developers should really implement automatic language detection based on the phone's settings.2. Units: The app only displays distances in kilometers. It lacks an option to switch to miles, which can be inconvenient if you're used to the imperial system.If the developers can address these two points, this would be a 5-star app.

The app is constantly innovating with different techniques to make it easier to navigate. And it also has tips for bikers, mopeds, driving cars, trucks (I never tried that!) and walking.Unfortunately it follows the concept of Chinese UI that they interfere usability with novelty. It would be a pleasure to avoid having splash screens and a decluttered interface. But so far it’s the best in China by far.

I got multiple experience of morning online driving requests especially in Shanghai which were tricky. For instance, the first request usually not went through, the online system said needs more drivers and pricing went higher. The solution what I responded was turn off my cellular and boosts it accordingly, make a complete new request, then the situation became normal. Thank you for your understanding.

I am appalled to see that this platform has failed to take action against an influencer involved in animal cruelty. Instead of banning their account or addressing this issue responsibly, it appears that the platform continues to support them by allowing them to remain active. Such behavior is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about the platform's ethical standards. Supporting or ignoring cruelty goes against basic human decency. I urge the company to take immediate action to remove this individual and demonstrate a commitment to animal welfare and ethical content.
