Seems like the reviews are embedded with the map download?
It would have been nice if it were an optional download,like how you can choose which maps should be available offline.

Yes, each ‘region’ map has only it’s own reviews.

That’s a lot of data that would be potentially unused and some of us has limited space.
That’s text reviews with 1000 symbols limit. Even if you take all reviews on platform you most likely would not even 1 megabyte get, and it is not mentioning compression that then use to store it¯_(ツ)_/¯
All current reviews. There are thousands of locations within each square mile and some cover whole states. It can add up eventually.
Really hope we will be able to review places directly in the app one day. Im not a big fan of MapCompletes UX. This is a really cool feature and I already made some reviews.
Cheers folks - very clearly communicated, appreciate all the work the CoMaps teams are putting in
I should start leaving reviews of random fucking places around my area.
Maybe I’ll start by reviewing the nearby river…
If you are lazy you don’t need write full paragraphs or sentences. Reviews without texts, only clicking stars are allowed.
Okay but like is it a good river?
“The river is nice but the fish are assholes”
I kinda miss being a Google Guide back in the day, this sounds like a fun awesome successor to that 💓
Hope we get support on iOS in not too long too 🤞 (I am aware of the stars in search)
