Pros and cons of TomTom U.S.A. app for iPhone and iPad

TomTom U.S.A. app good for

Ive this and every udpdate. Seems to be random as to when the voice prompts work. Not sure if this is the app or Apple iOS. Used to ALWAYS give voice prompts with the old iPhone 3G iOS 4.2.0 When I updated to an iPhone 6 and iOS 7 and above it seemed to start failing. I suspect this audio issue is Apples code team messing up the application hooks. Other than this, and the occassional routing issue works well.
I have no idea why there are negative reviews for this app. Its phenomenal. Ive used both but and Garmin and personally find tomtom to be a cleaner, friendlier experience. Both are great for offline navigation, but for me, tomtom is the way to go
I just dont see all these so called problems people are having Ive had this app since day one and it has ALWAYS done great Updates always fix everything Great Job Tom Tom Ive NEVER had a problem with Tom Tom. Tom Tom is the BEST
Dont understand some of the complaints. This app and everything Tomtom does is top of the line. To even compare to or suggest that Apple Map or Google Maps are as good or better is ridiculous. Tomtom is a specialized Sat Nav company and the others are not. I like the Live Traffic although it is not much use to me unless headed for the Twin Cities. So glad I do not live in NYC or anywhere near the East Coast. Im guessing that is where the complainers are from. This app performs wonderfully in the nighttime pitch black wide open spaces of the upper Midwest and Western Mountain states when you absolutely cannot see your next turn coming up. On roads where an error could have you stuck in snow up to your windows or sinking in a lake or slough.
First let me state the positives of this app the real-time traffic updates are excellent the speed limit changes are very very accurate and the app does not seem to crash when I use it. Now for the negative The user interface looks like my first tom-tom that I got almost 10 years ago yes it could use some improvement. Hopefully they will improve this feature of the app but for now it does what its supposed to do navigate me to my destination with real-time traffic and speed limits
For a serious road trip this is the way to go. Just got back from a 2000 mile each way trip. This app worked great, Google proved to be way to buggy. It also shows current speed and speed limit which neither apple or google show.

Some bad moments

Have been using this app for years. Have been going to this location for a year. After the latest update the app no longer brings me to the correct location. On the reverse trip the route used the large roads even though it made for a longer trip. App needs help immediately.
On the interstate, every exit is treated like a transition so that you get a voice prompt to stay left every few miles. Possibly as a result, the traffic report appears to be wrong as well. VERY ANNOYING !!!
Not very happy with the purchase with many issues on the apps. Cant navigate the maps at all unlike google map or waze which is free but better experience. This map look ugly....
Do not waste your time with this overpriced app. I bought it when it was $50 several years ago. In app purchases do not work. I was charged for the traffic subscription but it would never activate. Google maps is far superior to TomTom now, and its free.
I paid $0.99 for the traffic feature and it does not work. Do not sell something that does not work.
Also long time user, latest version no longer offers annual traffic service and monthly service subscription doesnt work. Called tech support, no help. Without traffic service in my area app really has no advantage over Apple Maps or Google Maps, and they are free. Been slow to abandon TomTom, but goodbye!
