Israel - iGO primo Nextgen App Reviews

To the developerrs!!! The program works fine so far. Signal and directions are working. However, whenn setting language to "Deutsch" and program language to "Deutsch" under Region the map appears in hebrew when you tip on it. This needs to be changed.

Not only in starts in Hebrew, being launched for the first time. But more, with application running in languages other than English (I tried Russian) it shows all the names (cities, POI, etc.) in Hebrew. So anyway I had to use English.((

Aaronivich68 - you are genius, thanks! That works exactly as you advised! Now I can iGO ;) Excellent software, though!

Its a very good GPS app. You can use it without any extra roaming cost. You just need to have a GPS signal, take just some secs to acquire the position. Work smoothly.....low battery usage.

best navigation app for iphone! Best ui interface. Best 3d maps Navigation to contacts Mp3 player And much more! Igo u did it again (-:

This application truly makes you forget that you are using an iPhone.

Very good interface, but very-very slow. Its ok if you have your next turn in 12+something kilometers, but rather useless in a crowded city: its easy to miss a right turn with a stalled application and get into endless rerouting cycle. Routing itself is quite good though. POI arent also accurate, for example, car return office in Ben Gurion (actually Terminal 3) routed by iGo to some distant crossroad near Terminal 1.

Worked like a charm while on vacation in Israel. I used this application with: - iPhone 3G (not 3G S) - TomTom car kit (GPS signal receiver) Conclusion: The essential tool for a foreigner to safely navigate the streets of Israel. (thankfully available on US iTunes store unlike the Orange Israel app). Much better than the rental car companys no-name GPS. Only problem: Bit slow to startup - sometimes the application is too slow and the application exists (this is an iPhone feature). Note to NNG: make it launch really quick. Persistence prevails and the application does launch (albeit slowly) most of the time. Everything else is a great user experience. Worth the money - so you can drive like a local. ;-)

The app doesnt support multitasking, loads slowly, has lousy integration with iPod or streaming, has tons of bugs with cutting speech directions and recalculating the route for no reason. Absolutely doesnt worth the price.

I am in Israel as I write, staying in an apartment off the usual tourist route. iGo has been a godsend. It works quickly and accurately. This application has allowed us to travel widely in the country with confidence and without constantly refering to a map or a list of turns. Voice commands are clear. It works very well on my iPhone 4. We named ours "Shlomo" - as in "Shlomo says go left". Seriously, in the US I have been using NDrive for some time and it has been great. If I didnt already own that, I would not hesitate to purchase the US version of iGo. That said, entering destinations of Hebrew addresses can take some getting used to, but the spoken english directions are excellent.

Wonderful GPS for Israel. Cant imagine how I ever travelled israel without it!

Im quite happy with this app as it helps me get to where I want to go. I have found it invaluable and correct about 95% of the time. The only complaint that I have is that the data entry is very slow.

I tried to use this app with an iphone 4 , without data roaming. App could never get a GPS fix unless it was connected to WIFI. Nearly useless.

Please note - This application is great, but it does not work on iPhone 4 S at all. You will get to see only half the screen of the application, So the application is a total lose. Once they will fix this bug, Ill give them 5 stars.

Doesnt work at all on ios5 on a 4S. Youd think they would have tested under ios5 which has been in the developers hands for months now.

The product is great. Accurate and supports English / Hebrew and Arabic perfectly. It needs to be updates to work on iPhone 4S, and I was contacted by the develop and the update is coming very soon.

The app doesnt work on ios5.01 & iPhone 4

Tried a few navigation apps for Europe and this has the best navigation interface by far. The Israel version is just as good, the local database is very detailed, leading to easy to follow navigation instructions. BUT... This app takes FOREVER to load, not to mention that it will very often crash while loading (say 8 times out of 10). To make things more "interesting" it sometimes slows down to point where it takes several seconds to respond to a button push... In short - great navigational capabilities rendered almost useless by a buggy first implementation (for Israel). Looking forward to the bug fixes… ------- Updated for 2.2.1 version on iPhone 4S --------- All the above cons were fixed by NGG (or irrelevant on 4S) so Im a happy camper now :-) Addition of Traffic status, speed camera alerts and satellite view FREE :-))

Just back from a month in Israel. After having so much trouble with the local maps and street sign as well as unknowingly racking up data charges using the preloaded map on my iPhone 4 I decided to load this app. Never once did I have a problem. I primarily stayed in Haifa where the streets are confusing enough without the road construction going on. Several times I had to turn off of the predetermined to route because of construction and this app immediately recalculated and put me back on course. So many features are in this app and you really have to play with it to get the most out of it. I did use this app to travel to all points of Israel and never once did it let me down. No data roaming charges at all. Definitely love the POI feature as well. This came in handy to find hotels, food etc. when I really had no idea where I was at. I will definitely get this app for any other countries I will travel in.

Great GPS app that is held in you device internal memory with no need for data service. I have found it to be very useful and accurate.
