Celebration thanks to 55 million users

There is every reason for celebration at Sygic headquarters, if you are wondering why don't wonder no more. More than 55 million people are using this application. They are celebrating at their place off course, but they are also a doing special sale worldwide with 55% discount on purchasing. So if you want to support them instead of downloading it from free, the apk from this site, you can do that too. Europe is an exception, they have a discount of 50%.

But there is one bad news, the offer is soon expiring or is already ending, since it was planned for holidays, along with other discounts over the world when it comes to holidays, it's a tradition to shop that time so why not buy the navigation system that so popular and well reviewed.

4,2 stars from the community

Android community gives it 4,2  stars out of 5, a respected grade, considering Facebook and other well known apps have a much smaller rating on the Play market. As of right now Sygic offers free trial, and it lasts for 7 days, what are you going to do after that is up to you.

Android update, makeover with problems

In the light of the newest released update for Android by Google, called L or Lollipop as we wrote about the update itself before, it's expected from us to at least cover the impressions of the public and problems, if there were any.

Surprisingly as it is, the nexus users are the ones reporting problems, and warning others of updating. How is it that Google own project in smartphone market has problems with it's software? We are yet to find out, but as of right now that's the current status we hope is gonna change. Biggest concerns are about tablets and slowing down in almost everything after updating. Also as strange as it sounds, apps created via Adobe's Air tool disappear in some cases.

Google's spokesman said  ‘We're aware of reports that some Android users are facing issues and are looking into what might be the cause.’ Well that's good at least, although we are not 100% sure that they will resolve the issues fast. Something that we can recommend is to "reboot" the os if your device has such an options, or sometimes called clean wipe - start. There is a possibility that third party apps are causing issues, so it's better to be safe than sorry. Could it possibly be Sygic? Well there is a chance, but we are positive about apps from Sygic and they do have a big motive to work on their software, with such a large customer base behind them.

Older versions

We are right now in the time of a transition period, between Android Kitkat and Android L, so maybe we should talk about transitioning from the version of Sygic, our most favorite GPS go to application when we just want to make in time to a certain city, or a daily job that is out of town.

Older version are available for download, too

Older versions are available, but not 100%. Why? Because newest version of a certain software has a reason why it was published to the public via app market, or blogs like this.

It wasn't easy finding a image of this, older version running on not so high end smartphones, you should expect latest iPhone or Galaxy in a picture like this, but no, there are actually older smartphones that also use Sygic, and it works. No wonder there. That also has a reason, company Sygic thinks actually of everyone when developing software, they can and will, probably because there software isn't really free, they get payed for it. People buy it = more people working on bug fixing, version testing and etc. That makes use happy about their new app.

So the question is, should you use the newer or the older one on your phone? Depends, if you already have installed Sygic on not anymore a new phone, maybe you shouldn't update so fast without even looking around, but still when they make this new version they don't publish it unless it works on every single phone.

Android L update spotlight

Some call it Lollipop, some Licorice, some that, some what, but the full name doesn't really matter as much what comes in a new Android update and how will that overall affect on our smartphones.
Big changes are happening from visual style, animations and such to hardware perfomance because it will actually be 64-bit, just like Apple's latest iOS. That means a lot, cause most computers aren't even 32bit yet and yet something we hold in our pocket is.

Android L was revealed by Google back in June, with the first time giving developers and opportunity to test it out on their own devices, such as Nexus 5 and Nexus 7. The design, yes that where it comes to since we actually do look at our phones all the time, design language is called and referred to as Material design (while the Windows Phone design is called Metro, or sometimes even modern). It all looks flat and there are some handy improvement such as accessing your notifications even from the lock screen and actually interacting with them. Imagine a situation in which you get a message on Whatsapp and you want to take a quick picture, well you can do it from the lock screen.

 You may wonder how will the GPS apps work on Android L, well the same as they did on the older versions, only the will probably look better since they will get updated to this new interface Google is pushing to our eyes, and yes we like that since it will be a lot easier to look at. Modern icons, bigger typography and clean colors, that's a good design in short.

All of Google product apps will be updated and modernized, can't wait to see what gMail looks like! If you are still wondering about the name, if it doesn't come out sponsored as last one it will probably be Lollipop.

Sygic navigation for Taxicabs

It may sound strange but on the official site of Sygic recently a blog post appeared on the website, about Taxi navigation that Sygic provides. Where is it happening? How didn't I hear about it? Well it's actually in Milano, Italy where it helped at large scale over there mostly because of their complicated traffic system and then not all, but certain Taxi Cabs got Sygic up in their vehicles and went off on the road.

Future with Sygic in every car and a cab?

Are we on to something here,  are all cabs gonna use Sygic as their go to go software for their clients and them self. While we talk about uses today the team at Sygic did a Ice bucket challenge and it was really awesome from their side.



You can check out the video above, they also said they made a donation to the ALS foundation which is amazing of them as we said before. We also show support for such events and organizations. Sygic is really important cause it's a part of everybody lives, actually not everybody but every drivers life who has it installed on his phone or a car. We linked to wikipedia and their official site in this post so make sure to check it out also.

For Android and iPhone

As you know already, atleast we hope you know Sygic is available to two most popular mobile OS/ platforms: Android and iPhone (or iOS). With this kind of availability everyone can use Sygic app on their phone, even your whole family, doesn't matter if you have iPhone or Android cause when you go on trip all 5 of you or more can use the navigation system just in case.

We added a whole picture of the app in use on Samsung Galaxy, actually the picture is taken on the road and the apk was downloaded from this website without any problems of any sort. If you were wondering how many people use Sygic it's actually amazing figure for a unknown company at the time the application went out to the public. The actual figure is more than 50 000 000 which we find astonishing achievement.

The best feature and probably the most popular is the offline use of this navigation system, so when you take that into consideration it's not really unusual it has so big user base number, nearing almost Google+ numbers when you look at active users.

Sygic observation

For those of you who didn't know, Sygic is something that is made in Slovakia and has been a proud at that as the most popular GPS app in Europe and probably worldwide.

Main pro of Sygiy is it has turn-by-turn voice for your car or any other to go place vehicle from work to home or other way around.

There is a support for more than 30 languages including Greek, Spanish, English, Russian and other. There is a big chance your native language is in here. Intuitive user interface, fast rendering and route calculation are also some of the best parts of Sygic when comparing to other applications so that's probably why you are using this app on your smartphone as opposed to other ones.
