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

TomTom U.S. & Canada app good for

If you want to see your longitude and latitude, just press the button "help me" from the main menu. It will show your latitude and longitude there.
Love the app, love the accuracy. Wish they had a screen that showed the position of satellites and your current longitude and latitude.
This is without question still the best GPS app out there for the iPhone. TomTom has the best points of interest searching feature and the driving modes work very well for media playback. If it had Siri integration I would never use anything else for navigation. But this is always my "go to" for trips.
I constantly travel to areas of the USA and Canada where cell service is either non-existent, or my roaming is severely restricted data-wise (t-mobile still has yet to figure out how to allow people to go over 50 megabytes while roaming...) That being said, since ALL maps are stored locally on the phone, I can travel with no fear about getting to my destination on the road after I land from the air. This is an essential business tool for me, and has saved my a-double-s many times. Although its not entirely accurate in many rural areas, it at least gets me close enough to know that I need to start looking around. Truthfully, Im very happy with this purchase...Well worth it if you travel often, and dont always have reliable data to use Apple maps, or Google.
Now that tomtom has fixed the bug and my traffic account can move between my devices again, tomtom is back on top.
With new music app, on IOS, your App player need to capture audiobooks stream, which now on Ibook. We must have an ability to stop or pause play, while driving, within your App

Some bad moments

TomTom has had years to update this app but they continue to ignore it, only doing minor updates. The UI is a joke. Entering an address is a joke. It takes way too many taps to do anything. Graphics look like from Atari-era. Traffic (which I used to buy) has been getting less and less accurate, often missing huge jams. I think I know why... not enough people still use this stupid app so it cant crowdsource traffic info. It used to be good, like 7 years ago. Now its the dinosaur of GPSs. Dont pay for this!
version 1.20 still did not update the inerface. the maps dispay are still outdate. All other GPS iOS apps have iCloud capability. It is a shame that TomTom iOS app does not have that capabilty. Also, the app does is not optimized for the iPhone 6 Plus
I stopped using the TomTom app and using Garmin for one reason and one only, BLUETOOTH INTERGRTAION.... The Garmin bluetooth in seemlessly amazing with my car. I can listen to radio/CD/Sat etc. and navigation cuts in only when needed.. I will say one thing, Navagation apps have come a long way and I perfer TomTom as my navi app..
Everything was working good until I upgraded from the iPhone 5 to the iPhone 6. TomTom seems unable to restore my account onto the new phone hence I have no traffic information. TomTom is aware of the issue but has no clue why. They are still researching. After installing the latest update version 1.20 the problem still isnt fixed. So while the general mapping feature is great if youre traveling and require traffic the app is worthless.
Before this update, if you used Apple maps,to look up a location and then used the "route using app" feature to launch Tomtom from Apple Maps, Tomtom would launch and navigate to the location automatically . This update broke this functionally that I use a lot. Please fix!!!
Just as what I said in title, the application is very bad and UI is very unfriendly. Many other GPS app is much better than this. And the data is so outdated. Some places did not exist any more. The worst thing is that it cannot be refunded. Very bad purchase
