    The other people are right about needing more map data for the US. However, I find it fascinating to virtually explore Russia's motels, grocery stores, and restaurants using this app.

    Looking for something like google maps and I tried yandex maps. It didn't work well in India, lots of places missing and roads not showing. Had a bad experience with it.

    I like it, but when I switch to another app while using navigation, this really annoying route notification pops up on the screen and makes my phone impossible to use.

    Use Yandex Maps if you already have other Yandex apps. But keep in mind that information about businesses might not be up-to-date if you are not located in Russia, Ukraine or Kazakhstan.

    The public transport schedule is not updated. Like K-254 has been not running since 01.4.20, but yandex maps still show it. Tram 23 has changed part of its route, but yandex app doesn't know about it.

    Looks like Yandex maps in Moscow, Russia are not displaying public transport units on the map or showing waiting times at stops anymore. It's a shame because these features were really important for using the maps effectively. It's surprising that the Yandex team hasn't fixed this issue yet, considering how useful those features were.
