Memory-Map for All

I don’t know why this has such positive reviews. It seems very poor. Nothing is really working on my iPad. Even the free road atlas is just terrible and either too tiny or too pixelated to be useful, depending on zoom level. Not usable. I haven’t tried loading my own maps into this app yet, so perhaps that’s where it shines.

I rate this app very highly. I use it regularly for research and always when visiting the battlefields. It’s superb and I wouldn’t be without it

I have used Memory Map for many years to support architectural photography projects l. It allows me to plan a route for the day. The introduction of the online Memory Map for All has made it even easier. The client service has been great - fast and knowledgeable.

I’ve spent a lot with Memory Map. Now my maps wont download onto my new devices. Contacted Memory Map UK and they say they have had lots of complaints like mine. No support whatsoever, don’t buy this app. Leslie

Thank goodness for this newer ‘for all’ app. I’ve used Memory Map for maybe 15 years. There was a real issue when I first changed to an iPhone and loaded the iPhone app - The button to centre the map is stupidly positioned under the screen close bar. This might not matter when you’re walking, but for cycling it was a disaster. Fortunately this newer app is much better thought out, though it seems I can’t immediately access the many maps downloaded on the old app. Over the years I’ve used Memory map to cycle the length of GB a number of times, and across and around France. The biggest shame is that there are no longer foreign maps for sale, and as I get older and have more time, the opportunity to ride across more of Europe is becoming apparent. I’ll have to find another app that allows me to do this.

Used the old app for years and very pleased with the improvements in the new app.

There is nothing intuitive about using this App. It is so frustrating. The Help function is useless. Dreadful. Long time customer desperately looking for an alternative now.

I had previously used ViewRanger on my iPad mini for UK hill walking, with downloaded OS maps. When that app sadly disappeared (taking “my” purchased map segments with it) I hunted around for a useable alternative. The “official” OS app remains frustratingly not-quite-useable, so I’ve given up on it. MemoryMap isn’t perfect, but it’s certainly the best available way to download and use OS maps on your iPad for hill walking. Great that we can purchase “lifetime” access to the maps (at least until MemoryMap goes bust, gets bought out, or whatever). The user interface for downloading map data for specific areas onto the iPad is non-intuitive, but does work. So, how could it be improved? My main gripe is that cut-and-paste on the Mac desktop application doesn’t work. Come on guys, this is the 21st century! Competent UI design doesn’t get any more basic than this. Needless to say, I always carry a paper OS map as a backup, but with MemoryMap I never have to use it. Although the paper map will still be mine, and still useable, in 10 or 20 years’ time. Let’s hope the same is true for “my” MemoryMap maps.

I’ve used Memory Map software and app for years. Really simple to use, I prefer the fact you can buy maps rather than pay an annual subscription. Great functionality.

I have used Memory-Map for many years and more recently, Memory-Map for All. I use it with ordinance survey maps to plan walks in the UK and with Admiralty charts for Sailing both around the UK and further field. The app is extremely easy to use both on land and at sea.
