Extremely hard to edit contacts, will not save new addresses and you can only have 1 name for any 1 place, very disappointed.

Description
MapQuest: Get Directions is intended to reduce setup time and leave more room for using location, route, or outdoor movement data. It should feel most relevant to people who need geographic guidance or activity data while away from a computer, although newcomers can get started with the obvious action and return to optional controls later. The current listing supplies the practical details used here, while unconfirmed options are deliberately omitted. Location or mapping options appear in the description, so the application may adapt data to a place or route. A brief trial of the central function should reveal whether the interface suits the user’s expectations. MapQuest: Get Directions will make the strongest impression when using location, route, or outdoor movement data can be completed without unnecessary detours. This mobile tooleal is practical: bring up it with a purpose, finish a useful action, and come back only when it is needed again.

Read it all. I love this app. Better than any orther mapping system. I wish they would come out with a GPS. That is what I said in 2019. My opinion now? It is awful since the update. One of the worst.
genuinely delightful
The Gulf of Mexico is REAL!
it's great it works great keep doing amazing things 😂
"follow the highway" stupid app took us through some backroads on a trip from ky to vt. 40 miles at 35 and 45 mph. almost lost in NY. and i cannot shut the stupid thing off its killed my battery to 16 percent running in the background overnight
Horrible graphics and user interface. I'd hoped it would've been easier to customize routes than Google Maps but it's not and is just worse overall. I used to use Mapquest's website back in the day before the current smart phones and it looks like nothing has been updated since in the app or site. It's horrible .
no help, hard to save directions
wrong directions
only using it because im hoycotting google. This app always opens to a full view of the US, and when you search a location, it wont zoom in to the place you searched. Search randomly breaks and will repeatedly say "something went wrong"
