TomTom Europe App Reviews

Had good experience in CZ and Austria. Proved unreliable in Portugal. Latest update steered us into parking lots and construction zones several times. Had to buy a good map to be sure. On e.g. complex roundabouts or intersections the app can be slow to update graphics, or send you to a wrong turn, then change its mind after you turn. Again, this was Portugal. In general, its enough, and good value for price.

I bought this app that, in the past, worked well. The last version is terrible concerning the time to start working, sometimes more than 15 minutes. Checked the web site and they recommend to unlock the roaming data, that costs me $10/day. Terrible experience!

I love this aap

8 out of 10 addresses did not work. Waste of money.

This app is really useful when no Internet connection is available.

This stupid app doesnt even include all of Europe. Dont waste your money on it. You have to pay $55 to get "TomTom Greece" And for the countries it does include, it says im in the middle of a field most of the time.

I have used this app to drive from the Netherlands to Belgium and Luxembourg, and while driving in some parts of Germany. Overall, a great app that is much more helpful than the integrated GPS with outdated graphics in my 2010 Mercedes C Class. The lane guidance system and speed limit indicators are particularly helpful. Some problems though: It can be somewhat cumbersome to adjust the volume, such that I had driven a significant distance in Germany without any spoken directions. The speed limit indicator is also wildly inaccurate along portions of the highway between Schiphol airport and The Hague in the Netherlands, clearly conflicting with the signposted speed limits. Ive also experienced the GPS being confused between the highway I was currently driving on and the interchange below the highway, such that I was being asked to make a U-turn on the highway!

The description of the maps included mentions “IC” which is a code for Iceland. However after purchasing the App I discovered there are no maps for Iceland included. Purchase a competitor.

A couple years ago I bought the older version of this app for the same reason most of the reviewers did. I was hoping the current version would be fixed, NO. I bought the TomTom Europe Map for England and Spain so I don’t have to use Data while navigating site on foot. TomTom did fix the heat and battery consumption problem. The rest is just as bad. I’m not sure how hard it is for TomTom to get it right. You will certainly not get a google map or apple map experience where they are intuitive. The following are the problems with the TomTom app. 1) The app takes up about 2GB of space on you phone. 2) The map visually looks like a five year old made it. the street names disappear when you most need it. 3) The street name vanishes when you zoom in. 4) The refresh rate when moving the map is very slow and i can’t understand it since all the map info is already in the phones memory. 5) ALL the customization functions are extremely difficult to find, ie. change from car nav to walk nav, searching POI’s to nav to, deleting or adding POI’s on map, selecting auto zoom or not, 6) the directional pointer does not use the compass in the phone so you’ll have to move a couple meters to see the direction pointer to know your heading direction. 7) Also, make sure you turn on location service in “settings”, the is not made clear, only the nav position pointer does not move when location service is off, you would think a simple pop-up message would tell you this. 8) when you simply want to just view map and then return to current position, it is not possible with just a one button on the screen like google map or apple map (this is the worst part). Anyway, buy at your own risk. I just flushed 59 bucks down the toilet.

Unable to update the map

Absolutely disappointed in this app. Not updated, gives you wrong info and direction. Seep limit is wrong also and I got speeding ticket thanx to it.

This map app is terrible. Yes, it does give traffic directions, but if there is a road block (accident) it does not handle it very well. There is no way to get rid of gas stations in browse mode and the map itself cannot be browsed when the navigation is active. You have to switch to browse mode. All in all the interface looks about 10 years old - and after purchasing traffic info the app keeps constant update of traffic info, many times complaining about bad GPS signal. I have not detected how I can turn traffic info off since it does not provide any valuable info about traffic. The designer should go and look at Tesla navigation.

Seriously? A 2 GB update for BUG FIXES? You all must have a mild case of very serious brain damage. And when the hell are you going to issue some updates that actually improve The functionality and performance of this mediocre app? I paid nearly $100 for this and there have been virtually 0 changes or improvements since I bought it 2 years ago; thats ridiculous.

Have TomTom U.S. and TomTom Western Europe. Loaded TomTom Europe expecting to get Greece and no Greece! Blew $69.99. No listing of coverage in app description. Screwed!

I purchased the app before traveling to Europe, and pre-purchased to traffic components however when I arrive in Europe the traffic updates wouldnt work I reset it several times to no avail just kept hanging in the process of downloading traffic updates it was useless I couldve used a paper map for all of this dont spend your $70 on this app if they cant figure out how to make traffic work.

From being my most heaven-sent app, suddenly TomTom doesn’t work on my iPhone 4. The opening TomTom logo appears, then I get a grey screen. I think it runs in the background because I get camera alerts - but I can’t see anything on my screen. Please get it to work!! iOS 7.1.2; TomTom Europe 1.22.
