Pros and cons of Amsterdam The Map app for iPhone and iPad

Amsterdam The Map app good for

I bought this app too late, we were two and could have saved 5€ at the Diamond museum. We had a 5€ discount for renting bikes, it was also great! The GPS functionnality was very helpful, espacially while traveling all the city by bike ;) Definitely worth the price it will really help tou!
Nice with the GPS version. Missing: a street register to lookup an address.
Absolutely great. The Map, the sights and all the other stuff in this app are genius. Go on boys.
Very helpful, this map has all tourist locations mapped out. Its easy to read and does not use data! Ive downloaded it to use on our upcoming trip to AMS. Cant wait to use it! 
This app has been priceless as it has guided us through Amsterdam and led us to popular tourist locations. Cant recommend it enough.
I love this app! And the 2.99 euro is well worth it as it shows you exactly where you are as you walk/ride/tram ride around the city. I wish there was an app like this for other cities - no longer have to ask people for directions - always dicey

Some bad moments

The map is really very good and after only one day walking around 12 km I found it very accurate. But the GPS function didnt function. It sort of found my hotel location on an adjacent street half a block away where I had wifi. Then drew a straight line to the VanGogh museum sort of where I had wifi again. Eight hours of wandering after leaving that museum it still thought I was there. But if that is not important to you I wouldnt shy away from this app.
I downloaded the free map and then upgraded to the GPS version with the thought that it would track me through town, esp as the map does not include all street names. It didnt; it kept charting my position at the hotel of origin. Also, the app does not provide any useful reviews on things to do, just objective descriptions.
The map appears to be fine offline on an iPod Touch, but suggested attractions and reviews are virtually non-existent. Will update review after the trip.
It is a waste of money, if you pay $2.99 it shows where you are, that is all. You cant search for directions. Waste of money
Waste of money, only a handful of attractions for which they probably receive advertising income anyway, no directions. A rip off.
Offline map worked wonderful on my IPhone . The tram lines are listed on the map for fool proof navigation of Amsterdam.
