Sygic Travel Maps Trip Planner

Was

I’m in Spain. The map does not have much data. I downloaded the maps for the cities I am visiting, but most restaurants are not on the map. When I use it to navigate off line, it draws a straight line from point A to point B as if I’m a bird flying instead of walking on the streets. I don’t get it.

I bought Sygic Travel and paid the additional $29.99 to get Premium. I am unable to mark 2 locations in Edinburgh so that I can see clearly how to get from my hotel to the location where a tour I am taking originated. So I logged into my account online and all that comes up on the screen is a page called “Account overview” . It tells me that I have no active subscriptions even though I purchased Sygic Travel Premium. There is a help page on the website which tells me that with Sygic Travel Premium, using the mobile app on my phone I can unlock full place details, get walking directions and access itineraries, maps and guides offline. I have none of that functionality with the mobile app. They have online chat so I explained my problem and received a reply in chat that I would receive a response in five business days. Appalling service. This is a bait-and-switch app and I will never recommend this app to anyone who

I’m not going to write a long review or list pros and cons, just some things I don’t like about the app. 1) Route planning is god awful with no convenient ways to alter them. The route it chose for me to a particular destination was nearly 11 hours vs the 7 hours Sygic and Google routed. You do get transferred to the actual Sygic navigation app for GPS navigation but again that is inconvenient. 2) Even if it was just a summary I’d like to see my whole trips itinerary instead of just being able to see a single day. 3) I was going to send this note as feedback to them but their feedback email doesn’t allow you to actually SEND the email. 4) Finally, there have been no updates for over a year, which implies they don’t really care too much about it. Maybe I don’t understand the app well enough but it’s looking like it was a waste of money.

This app is wonderful. One question. I know Sygic gps navigation does not require Wi-Fi of cellular. Could that be incorporated into Sygic Travel?

In 2016 we were traveling through California’s vast Anza Borrego dessert and lost cell signals. Scary! We found our way out and I looked for an app that would serve as an offline GPS, rather than adding a cumbersome Garmin device. After installing Sygic I literally could navigate anywhere without the need for a cell signal (other than initially downloading maps). That was the start of my appreciation of the extraordinary value and features of Sygic! It continues to get better with more features since 2016. We travel about half the year throughout the country in our Class B RV (Ford Transit camper van). Apple Car Play supports both Apple and Google maps, but Sygic through Car Play is our go-to navigation. We depend on it and the features other navigation does not offer that are too extensive to list here.

Great app. Wonderful for creating day-by-day sightseeing itineraries, which is exactly what I was looking for. But 1 star deduction because it claims to support Family Sharing and yet doesn’t even show up I’m my subscriptions list, which makes it impossible to share.

When one doesn’t understand what it takes to develop an app, you get reviews like the ones who complain about its costs and features for premium version. I did not hesitate one second getting the premium version of this app, it has all-in-one what other apps offer separately or lack functionality. You get trip planning suggestions, tour suggestions and their cost, navigation help and instructions, all the information you need to plan your trip and a lot more! Honestly, this app is a gem and the developers really outdid the features and actually carefully selected what one user NEEDS and can get lots of advantage for. I cannot stress enough how awesome of an app this is. I just downloaded and needed to share my thoughts because I barely buy apps and let alone leave reviews but this one deserves every good review it gets. I applaud for the effort and thoughtfulness of making this app the most convenient one for trip planning I have seen in the app store. Thank you and I really hope you continue making it as awesome as it is and seamless to navigate. Two suggestions as an iPad user would be a calendar view to visualize trips in a calendar format (or calendar integration, which I am still exploring in the app) and an apple pencil/ draw format for note taking as it is easier for me to use but those two suggestions are just that, the app is awesome as is and has a lot of room for growth.

If you are not a premium user you are done this app will not provide any information for free.

I just downloaded the app and planned for my trips, the app is amazing (free version) however, for me as a traveller, I would like to know the admissions/fee of the attractions. Along with budgeted amount. I would recommend to add this feature (even if for paid version) and it will be great app ever.
