AutoNavi used to be the best English GPS in China for English speaking foreigners. I have lived here for 10 years and when I received my drivers license and car, I used it exclusively. Then suddenly it stopped working and would default to this Amaps with No English option and I cannot use. I now started using Apple maps or Waze as only English options I have been able to find. I really wish Amaps would bring back the English version, as it used to be the best English GPS here in China. So, I have to vote 1 star as I cannot vote no stars, as it is not giving me that option. Please Bring Back English Version!!!

I’m a big fan of this app. Was actually introduced to it because one of my favorite actors (Wang hedi) is their sponsor. I’m visiting China for the first time in 7 years and having this app is absolutely life changing going around. I’m able to find recommended sites, restaurants, order taxis, and even got tickets to the movie for a much cheaper value. I wish something like this existed in the States. Also love using the friends and family tracker. Honestly this is THE must have app in China. I will be recommending this to everyone who plans on traveling to China anytime soon or in the future.

The app is constantly innovating with different techniques to make it easier to navigate. And it also has tips for bikers, mopeds, driving cars, trucks (I never tried that!) and walking. Unfortunately it follows the concept of Chinese UI that they interfere usability with novelty. It would be a pleasure to avoid having splash screens and a decluttered interface. But so far it’s the best in China by far.
