  • Totally worthwhile app!

    I find Mapstr immensely useful as I travel around the world and discover special places to eat, drink and visit that I want to share with friends & family. I find the app easy to navigate, populated with helpful prompts and links, and high on ability to curate (scope) who can see your posts. Highly recommended by someone who shuns social media and apps-of-the-week!

  • Subscription pricing is not worth it

    I had been using this app for years, recommending it to friends, and generally loved the features. The one functionality complaint I initially had was that it doesn’t show a dot or even general area of where you are so it is harder to see proximity to your pins. But I understand it’s not a maps app so fair. Now, with being charged a subscription to add pins over 300, I will switch back to Google Maps and saving pins in my lists there. I understand that this is a product and needs to be profitable, but a subscription model is so disappointing. If there was a one time payment, I would do that in a heartbeat and I would be willing to pay a decent amount if it was a one-time fee. But with subscriptions these days, there is no guarantee that the model won’t change or prices will be hiked in the future. So while I can easily afford the current pricing, I don’t want to risk losing my pins when the payment models change and I can no longer justify a monthly/yearly charge for an app when there are free alternatives available. TLDR: I’d be willing to pay for this app, but not in its current subscription form.

  • Sold with subscription, unusable

    At one point was one of my favorite apps, I understand why they had to go subscription based but the constant huge add that blocks the screen constantly to buy their paid version is really annoying and makes it very difficult to use the app I wish you were able to just click it once and it goes away forever

    Every feature you could think of is here. Save a restaurant? Easy, just search it. Want to tag is as fast or fancy? Use the tags. Want to document a specific experience and what you liked or didn’t? Add a visit with notes. Want to go? Click Go and open the directions in Waze or Apple Maps. Add photos. Add descriptions. Add icons. Check what’s nearest by proxy. Whatever you want, mapstr has it. Love this app. I swear by it. I use it daily. 10/10. Top 3 apps.

    I just want to mark some places on a map. By the time I answered like 5 questions, I almost forgot what I downloaded this for. Just let me skip and do what I need to do

  • Was free now huge charge

    I used to enjoy using this app to log where I’d eaten and visited but now there is a charge that is huge for an app of this function. It’s now unusable to me without the subscription.

  • Amazing App, Hoping for a One-Time Payment option in the future.

    It's a very good app. Simple to use and navigate. The developer was kind and responsive when asking for a possible One-Time Payment Option in the future because the subscription makes me hesitate to commit long-term. I understand cost needs to be covered from growing user-base but let's hope for that option. Otherwise I love this and would gladly pay a One-Time $200 for it just to avoid another Bill long-term.

  • a couple complaints

    kinda hard to learn how to use, picture order gets rearranged, cap @ 300 pins before subscription is required, sometimes addresses does not match up to the location,

  • Disappointing new charges

    This was my go to app from the beginning. I was even given an elite status. I had loved using the app and shared it with many family and friends. I’m in the travel industry and am in contact with many people. Now to find that i am not able to add any more pins (i have 300) without paying a rather steep price to access, use and add more pinned spots seems sad. There was no soft launch that I am aware of nor was there warning given to the users who had been using this app from the beginning (was there no grandfather option) is really a slap in the face. This was great but it is by no means a necessity like a music streaming app. It’s an app you use while traveling. For this reason i cannot do a subscription pricing. This developer definitely is doing a money grab. Why couldn’t we just pay a flat rate and be grandfathered in? This is not even a monthly use app. Just for travel. I recommend AVOID USING until a more reasonable pricing option materializes. $12 per month which is that the developer was asking was clearly not going to happen so it appears he has brought it down lower…still not realizing that an app that is not needed for daily use is a hard sell at an recurring price. I’ve heard Pin Drop is great and will be switching over.

  • Long Time User Leaving

    Recommended this app to many friends, now switching over all my saved places to another app. Far too many similar options out there to justify paying (year after year) for this. I would happily see adds to avoid paying a subscription. Just not worth it IMO— this app was good, but not groundbreaking. Seems like many others feel similarly about the sudden subscription/premium structure. MY RESPONSE FOLLOWING COMPANY REPLY: ~$60 per year with your current “discount” x 15 years of use = nearly $1000 over the years. … and if you ever stop paying and being chained to the Mapstr subscription… boom! All those payments for nothing ✨ In the bigger pictures, it’s way more than the “few dollars” you keep pushing on customers to repeatedly shell over. ….all to just mark down where you’ve been over the years… please!! I’d like to think I spend my money as little wiser than that. The cost structure, inability to “buy out” a premium account with a one time fee (I’d consider staying if so), and unprofessional replies are very telling about the management style at your company. A rug pull of a sudden paywall is offensive to your long-time customers. That’s business 101. I fear you’ll lose many others soon if major operational and managerial changes are not corrected. Hope you can fix them soon. I didn’t want to leave the app but am afraid I’ll have no choice.
