Apple Maps is one of the applications that has given the most changes in the different versions of iOS. During 2012, Apple had to fire the main managers of the application, due to the discontent of the users. The app showed wrong information, outdated routes, and a multitude of bugs. A few years later, the app is drastically renewed with iOS 13: a very well implemented dark mode arrives, clear routes, updated information and the possibility of seeing the streets in the style of Google Street View.And little by little more improvements are coming.
