amAze GPS app review: navigate no matter where you are in the world

Reviews

Introduction

Do you find yourself traveling often, do you plan to visit a destination overseas that you are unfamiliar with, are you new in town, or do you just want to the quickest most direct routes in your own town/city? If you have answered yes to any of these questions you may benefit from a navigation-based app. The amAze GPS app for your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad provides users with street maps from around the world that feature turn-by-turn voice guided navigation so even if you are driving, walking, or cycling you can easily receive the directions.

Quick and Direct Routes

This app is all about getting you to your destination quickly and with ease so that getting lost is never an issue. You are given full topographic maps for the USA as well as cities around the world, plus street maps. What's cool is that you can use satellite imagery to guide you in either 3D or 2D using this app. The way the app works is that you are given a free license to search points of interest from around the world and view maps. If you want to be able to use the full navigation tools and features you'll need to purchase a one-year license. The free version is meant to act as a way to get an idea of the app's user interface and how it can help you.

The app has one star out of five stars from customers, clearly sending the developer a message about this offering. If you want to purchase the full one-year version of this app you can do so with an in-app purchase for $33.99.

The User Experience

So the question is, why the low customer rating from users? What's interesting is that as you read through the comments they all seem to say the same thing: they are completely unimpressed with the free version. The problem is that free or lite versions of apps are supposed to give you a feel for the app so you can decide if you want to buy it. The free version offers users almost no features compared to the full version and as users stated there are constant pop-ups asking you to purchase the full version.

Some of the features you can expect in this app, keep in mind some require the in-app purchase, there is a navigation simulation mode so you can heck out your route before you leave, an arrows-only navigation mode, and there is routing for cars, trucks, car pools, and pedestrians.

Final Thoughts

The amAze GPS app can be used on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone is meant to get you from point A to B with ease; however, this free version offers very little tools and features. It's one of those GPS apps that givers users a glimpse of the features with the free version.
