There is absolutely nothing else to it. Do NOT waste your money!!! -- Cree1537, 2025-08-06 ### ***** "5 STAR APP!" This app is absolutely as advertised as of 2025. Should not be getting any less than 5 stars, it’s an awesome app that is helping me visualize my world. -- Feldspar716, 2025-07-12 ### ****- "Good tool, wish there were updates." Thought I would give it a try because fantasy map making on mobile devices is something I’ve been wanting. Wish there were updates. -- chellydays, 2024-12-30 ### ****- "Good, but…" You can achieve similar if not better results by taking an art program, some clipart, and a parchment .png file. Is it sufficient for it’s task? Yes. Would I pay the $3 again? Not likely. But it’s good enough at what it does, so it works for me. -- tnt885, 2023-07-17 ### **--- "It’s okay" It’s not the best I’ve seen, and it’s hard to work with and frustrating. I kinda wasted my money. -- Anonymous102805, 2023-01-29 ### ***** "Best Mobile Fantasy Map Maker" Although this map app is simplistic, it is nice to have a map generator that can be used on my iPad.I would pay even more money to have more features. It would be nice to be able to make some of the building icons smaller. I would also be great to be able to resize an icon once it has been placed. But I really can’t complain as this is pretty great for what it is. -- Wentifer, 2023-01-05 ### ***** "Nice App" Nice app. does what it says it does. Question for the developer though, are you still updating this app? could we have a redo button? i saw in the reviews that you were able to add a few more features over time…. -- Ringoôsukidesu, 2022-11-09 ### ***** "Great for what it is" It’s a $3 map making app for your phone and it is worth every penny. It’s not super complicated, it’s not going to replace the serious non-mobile map making tools out there, but it’s a great lite version to have on your phone for rough sketches and quick ideas. -- strongcr, 2022-08-14 ### *---- "There’s this problem" I was excited to use this, until I realized I couldn’t pull a pre made map from my photos. How dumb is that? I can save the map to photos. But I can’t retrieve it from my photos. This app has potential, but that was a deal breaker for me. -- Pantheon MMA, 2022-01-14 ### ***** "WhatU-NEED-2KnowAboutMapscribe" I don’t know what other people are talking about for this app gives you a TON of detail. And what’s the big deal if you can’t detail your map even smaller? People wouldn’t be able to read it anyway. Plus, the app has added a bunch of stuff to it. Though there are glitches, they only happen when you add so much detail that no one will be able to read it. Also the app warns you if the app storage is getting too full. And though if you don’t like the choices of objects like mountains and buildings I just use the black lines to create my own mountains and they end up looking A LOT more realistic. Most of these bad reviews come from people with a lack of creativity, and who judge the app like judging a book by its cover. This app is the best professional map making app I’ve ever had. As an author of an epic fantasy which will soon be a world phenomenon, I am not only advising, but DEMANDING that if you’re an author looking for a map app, this is it. And PLZ don’t trust the 3 star rating. This app has worked wonders for me! Question for MapScribe: Can you plz add a map adding feature? Where you can attach another map to the original map? That would help me a lot for in my story the map expands and it would be so easier to add to the map then having to redraw every detail. -- Wh7sper, 2021-05-17 [View all MapScribe reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## MapScribe Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Productivity | #12 | | Top Paid | United States | Productivity | #113 | | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Overall | #132 | ## Apps Similar to MapScribe - [Word Keeper: Writing tracker](https://apptail.io/app/word-keeper-writing-tracker-OLf/united-states) - [Aeon Timeline 3](https://apptail.io/app/aeon-timeline-3-MOy/united-states) - [Book Writer - Novel Writing](https://apptail.io/app/book-writer-novel-writing-RQP/united-states) - [MyStory.today](https://apptail.io/app/mystorytoday-jnib/united-states) - [Scrivener](https://apptail.io/app/scrivener-SEbc/united-states) - [Novelist - Write novels](https://apptail.io/app/novelist-write-novels-yiuc/united-states) - [Story Planner for Writers](https://apptail.io/app/story-planner-for-writers-WHKc/united-states) - [Campfire – Write Your Book](https://apptail.io/app/campfire-write-your-book-KUXc/united-states) - [Writer Gadget](https://apptail.io/app/writer-gadget-xevd/united-states) - [Fortelling - Story Writing App](https://apptail.io/app/fortelling-story-writing-app-oROd/united-states) ## MapScribe Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/canada) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/italy) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/switzerland) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/netherlands) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/united-kingdom) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/france) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/sweden) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/germany) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/denmark) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/spain) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/finland) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/hungary) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/indonesia) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/ireland) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/israel) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/india) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/japan) - [Mali](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/mali) - [Macao SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/macau) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/mexico) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/norway) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/new-zealand) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/philippines) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/portugal) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/russia) - [Saudi Arabia](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/saudi-arabia) - [Slovakia](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/slovakia) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/turkey) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/taiwan) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/ukraine) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/united-arab-emirates) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/south-africa) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/argentina) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/austria) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/belgium) - [Bulgaria](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/bulgaria) - [Brunei](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/brunei) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/china) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/mapscribe-fkHd/czechia) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
