NAVFone Singapore GPS Navigation - Top Selling Navigation Apps in Singapore

Since its release on 14May, the NAVFone Singapore GPS Navigation apps has moved up and stayed at the top of the Navigation chart in the Singapore Store. NAVFone is the most well-received product in the Navigation apps in the iTunes.

We have been receiving a stream of well-wishers and praises from friends, partners and users. We have made this apps so easy and user-friendly that within 3 steps, the apps is already navigating to your destination. What more, the database and map is being updated and validated for correctness and accuracy everyday. But it is just too disruptive to be updating the apps whenever the data is changed. So we make it a point to pan out an update whenever there are major changes to the landscape. The last 2 updates occur soon after the opening of major roads such as the Bartley East Viaduct and the opening of major facilities such as the Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World at Sentosa.

Recently, we updated the apps to cater for iOS4. Many of our customers faced some issues after upgrade to iOS4.00 and 4.01. We read the feedback on our Feedback System and on the iTunes and received calls to our local customer support office about the issues faced. Immediately, we conducted extensive tests on the apps and in areas where our users encounter problems, on iOS3 and iOS4. Strangely, we did not encounter any issue during our testing. We advised our users to delete and download the apps again. It seems the issues are resolved after that. What you are assured, is that we are here in Singapore, so we are able to provide support to our users who face problems and resolve apps issues quickly.

We do know of GPS jump issue in the city area, such as Shenton Way, Robinson Road, Cecil Street and the Raffles Place vicinity. We did our tests with other friendly navigation apps and found the same outcome on the location. GPS and iPhone Location Service is a whole lot of academic stuffs, so let us explain that part in more detail in another blog.

It is a joy to us to have created this apps that is serving so many of you well today. We are working on new navigation apps with more features for the PRO users, while rolling out the navigation apps for the nearby countries. Currently we have the NAVFone Malaysia GPS Navigation which covers the entire West Malaysia on the AppStore. The same good features can guide you to your destination in your next road trip up to Johor, Melaka, KL, Ipoh or Penang. And if you can't find what you are looking for, tell us on our feedback system and we would work hard to get it fixed for the next update.

Meanwhile, happy travelling :)

More responses to our dear customers...

@ zippy79 - Just glad to be of service!

@ The Ace's -  Apologies but I believe you may have jumbled our navigation app with our OTHER hit app, the NAVFone Singapore Public Transport Planner & Map which was on a $2.99 promotion sometime back. Don't worry, it happens to the best of us. Thank you for your time nonetheless. :)

@12bro - Its a pity you found our app, for lack of a better word, "retarded". But we still thank you for taking precious time to drop your feedback. We can't quite make out what your real gripe is though. Perhaps you could drop us a line/mail to better communicate the issues you face since it seems to be your one and only review thus far. Looking forward to hearing from you!

For all our other NAVFone users, do take some time to make it a High-5-Star app. Cheers!

Reviews, reviews and more reviews: NAVFone Singapore GPS Navigation

@superflydmw - Yes we do admit that the ability to resume your journey whenever the app re-launches post phone call or any other disruption is a God-send. Glad you like it. 

3D maps will be available in the next version of our apps, along with functionalities such as ERP cost estimations, LGI, Car park information and a host of other uniquely Singaporean features that other navigation apps can only dream of. Thanks for the review!

@slgan - (Insert shameless remark). True, the depth and content of our application is second to none. And glad you see the plus point of having everything onboard hence absolutely no worries regarding obscene data roaming charges! Try our range of street directory versions for all your data-charge free travel needs!

@Vinijune - Apologies for your inability to reap the benefits from our app. To troubleshoot, how about you check under "Settings > General > Location Services" to ensure that location services has been turned on for your iPhone, and also for our app. 

Do hit us up if you still face difficulties as its quite disturbing for us to find that a minority of our users cannot navigate hassle-free.

@qing.song - With the new functionality of the iOS 4.0, multi-tasking has been made a reality. This translates into the ability to do ANYTHING whilst something else is running. (See image below).

You simply need to double tap your 'Home' button, slide the pop-up screen to the left to reveal the above shortcut buttons to your iPod. You don't even have to exit the NAVFone app. Hope this helps!



For all other reviewers, do not hesitate to contact us here or through our support channels for assistance. If you like our app, feel free to rate it 5 STARS! Cheers!

AGIS at the CAR-nival, Singapore Expo, 11th July 2010

Last Sunday witnessed the massive CAR-nival organized by CATS Classified, featuring gadgets and gizmos a car-fanatic's wet dreams are made of...like an in-car GPS navigator powered by AGIS' NAVFDrive.

AGIS partnered with Autoform's booth at the above-mentioned event to rapturous response by the hordes of consumers thronging Singapore Expo seeking in-car GPS navigation devices amongst other ICE hardware.






The AGIS product design philosophy of an easy 3-step "Search, Select, GO" in all our NAVFDrive and NAVFone products was the evident game-changer in a market that's increasingly being filled with oddball GPS navigation applications that require a degree to simply turn on, and a PhD to navigate home.

Judging by the wonderful response to NAVFDrive's products at the event, strong selling points such as the following are still what customers really look for:-

•           3 easy steps for fast and accurate search.
•            Direct route to housing block/building/carpark/entrance
•           HDB Blk/ Building name search using 2 or 3 characters.
•            Postal code search.
•           Yellow Pages.
•           ERP/ Toll.
•           Latest maps data with Marina Bay Sands   and Resorts World Sentosa.
•           Car park Infomation.
•           After sales support (In house Map update and technical assistance) provided by AutoForm
•           50m, 200m, 500m and 1km voice prompt to provide safety driving.
•           Life time map data update for PND.

Til the next event, drive safe NAVFDrivers!
