What’s New
Version 1.1
* The compass is now working! See which direction you're facing so you know which way to walk!
* Removed a pesky Chinese-only language prompt that appears the first time you run the app.
* Added a "safe view wrapper" to the app's screen so that it displays correctly no matter what phone model you're using. (The screen perimeters of some Apple devices are not perfectly rectangular, such as the new iPhone XR where the top notification info bar is divided into two parts by the front camera and mic.)
* General overall speed increase.
Ratings and Reviews
Fantastic Multi-Lingual App in China!
This app does most of the translating for you so you never need to switch between you translator and your default mapping application to figure out what names mean. If you are looking for something in particular, such as a restaurant, metro or bus station, this will conveniently show you in both English and Chinese. This is a must have tool when visiting China (or even if you are a foreigner like me, just having this for daily use has many benefits).
The only decent English Chinese map app

Not many listings. Apple Maps is better.
Using Apple Maps is much easier. It is also bilingual and you can put in the name of any venue and it comes up with public transit routes. This app has hardly any listings, many of the venues aren’t even open for business anymore. The navigation of the UI is outdated. You have to keep clicking ‘back’.
