North America - iGO primo app App Reviews

Where are quarterly map updates?? We are on 2011 Q3 right now. At least the maps should be updated! Also the program still runs very slow on iPhone 4! Graphically intense games like Real Racing 2 doesnt lag, but iGo does? Come on guys learn how to code. The last updates got "reduced resolution images" to speed up. iPhone 4 has a HIGHER resolution. What is the point of decreasing the resolution to speed up!?! I love this program but the iGo team is not going for their responsibilities. Therefor, 2 stars! I gave 5 stars before but things have changed.

To the previous poster, I havent heard of any app incompatibilities with older apps on iOS 5. I dont think it is like computer OS upgrades that sometimes do break applications. I upgraded to iOS 5 yesterday, and the first thing I did was upgrade to iGo Primo North America. I have the Verizon iPhone, and it would not allow Primo on less that iOS 4.3 (Verizon phones were 4.2.8). I only played with it for a few minutes but it appears to work fine, and is better than the older iGo.

Update: Please fix for iOS 5 and 4S, no longer works. Will gladly give 4+ stars again when fixed. Bought this app 2 years ago and if it actually loaded it was a good day. I ended up getting Navigon and have been really happy with it ever since. For some reason today I decided to DL iGo again and give it a shot, and saying Im impressed is an understatement! Wow this navigation app has come a very long way. To be short, it has more features than Navigon and is easier to use. One thing I dont like shaving to pay for the 3D buildings view as it was part of the app 2+ years ago when I originally purchased it. 2nd, live traffic is 37.00...holy moly who do they think they are kidding (lifetime subscription...maybe, but for 1 year?). If they change this it will be perfect! I highly recommend this app as Ive tried them all...Navigon, Magellan, Tom Tom and now iGo again, you wont be sorry and at 40.00 its a steal. If they reduce the live traffic price or make it lifetime at the current price Id gladly give this app a 5 star rating...but to be honest it is already.

Just upgraded to an iPhone 4S. Now my favorite nav app doesnt work. It shows only a small box in the center of the screen. Going to the "End User" support area of the iGO website simply brings you to the product manual and FAQ. So much for "support"… Sigh...

I moved igo North America to a new iPhone from an iOS 5 iPod. Now I cannot even start to use it as the startup screen is constricted by large black borders. Luckily, I also have Navigon that works perfectly. I note the same problem with my Europe app as well. I hope someone at igo reads this ASAP. I reported the problem to igo and received an auto-response. That was four days ago.

Very disappointed with this app. It does not work on iphone 4s. It worked on my previous iphone and I thought it was one of the better nav apps. The reason for the two stars has more to do with customer service response than it does with the app itself. Customer service is non existent except for an auto response e-mail. When I spend 40 bucks on an app plus 38 bucks for the traffic feature I expect it to work. Thats the problem with buying from a foreign country. Once they get your money your on your own. Take my advice, stick with Garmin, Magellan or one of the other US companies, theyre apps are compatible, and if you do have an issue you can call them.

Doesnt work on my 4s either. Splash screen shows up then shrinks to partial window with black bars taking up most of the screen. Cant click on anything.

They now support the 4s

What happen to u, igo?

By far the best and nicest looking navigation app. Others dont come near this. Traffic addition cost is far too high though.

I installed the traffic but how do I see it and use it?

The only one that can show navigations two steps ahead.

Perfect, luv it! Highly recommended!

After having used Navigon for a few years I found myself in Europe and tried iGo. I find the navigation information display superior to Navigon - iGo is quite intuitive. I even purchased the US version. The downside, and its a big one, is the keypad as iGo does not use the native iOS keypad so it is not calibrated or have the native feel. The keys feel cramped and are more error prone and the typing experience feels slow. A navigation app does not need to complicate typing.

Thanks for improving the experience on the iPad.

After upgrading from iOS 5 to iOS 6 iPhone locks screen during navigating. Please fix it.

I put the iPhone and the iPad close, side by side to each other. The iPhone was able to detect the gps signal immediately. I left the app running on the iPad for over 2hours, and could not detect the signal. It keeps saying looking for GPS signal. Checked the location services setting and was on Please fix, thx

This app is a complete fraud and a POS!

I really like iGo, but seriously??? until now it still doesnt support full iPhone 5 screen size yet. Please update ASAP.

On the last up date, the update stalled. I uninstalled, reinstalled and still hangs.
