Not very useful for Spain
The map list for hotels does not have Le Meridian Westin which is right on La Rambla. The query tool for hotels does not find it, either. Not finding it very useful for upcoming trip.
Excellent
Easy, reliable and great customer support.
Seemingly useless
I can download google maps offline for free. This doesn't seem to add anything better and I was hoping for excellent transit capabilities, which this doesn't seem to have. Hoping it "seems" better once I arrive in the cities I downloaded. I had planned on lifetime access, but it seems really unlikely at this point. $0.99 already feels like a huge waste for this.
Caution
I bought this to use in rural areas without cell service. The app only contains maps in areas that generally have cell coverage and omits 99% of the USA. Wish this had been clear in the description.
Still bewildered
An amazingly WORKING app TO DATE! I still miss some features from the old offmaps such as the ability to download routes, but this passes it with your love to stabilize this and improve it when it first appeared to be a failed app. For those who don't understand what it does, this app downloads maps (which can be a city or county [ex. Orange County, Los Angeles, etc.] or a national park. IF you cannot read (lots of 1 star reviews from idiot people [old reviews]), the $1 purchase ONLY GIVES YOU TWO MAPS. Seriously, I mean, READ THE DARN DESCRIPTION BEFORE YOU BUY THE APP. The flatrate (which gives infinite downloads) costs something like $5, but it's worth it. And if you still don't like that, reinstalling the app gives you your two free map downloads back. This app can determine your location WITHOUT SERVICE, and can do so accurately. And it works seamlessly. The maps are loaded in DETAIL, and within them you can search for ALMOST ANY ADDRESS, OFFLINE. How nuts is that!? Suggestions: as stated above, you should re-add routing into the app. Also, I miss one part of the iOS 6 version of the app: the guide in that was a lot quicker and easy to use than the new one. It was more elegant too. Currently sing iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.3 Previously used with iPhone 4 on iOS 5, iPhone 4S running iOS 5, 6, and 7, as well as my 6 with all versions of 8, 9.0.2, and 9.2
Not Good
When the maps download they are great, but all too often the download fails. This app needs work, lots of work. Don't waste your money.
Simple and good
Not many features, just beautiful, detailed, offline maps. Maps tend to cover a large area and the app makes it clear what region the downloaded map covers. Maps cost $0.33 each--well worth it.
