About this APK

MapQuest: Get Directions is an app by MapQuest in the Maps & Navigation category, listed since at least April 2015. It includes native code only for x86 64-bit, so it won't install on ordinary ARM phones (only on x86 devices such as emulators and some Chromebooks).

Since version 3.9.6, the minimum Android version rose from 4.0.3 to 5.0. It asks for 22 permissions, 3 of them sensitive: precise location, read contacts and approximate location. Compared with version 3.9.6, it adds 7 new permissions (“Advertising ID”, “Broadcast sticky”, “Foreground service location” and 4 more) and drops 3 (“Change wifi state”, “Read shared storage” and “Modify shared storage”). The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play and can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.

What's new in v4.15.0

We’re on version 3.9.6, but hadn’t had new release notes since 3.9.0. If you hadn’t noticed, pretend we didn’t say that. If you did notice, this is for you. We hadn’t released any new features since 3.9.0 so we didn’t want to bother you with notes (let’s be real, we didn’t want to sit down and write multiple versions saying the exact same thing). However, we did fix crashes and update support for older Android versions so we quietly made six, small updates. Hopefully this clarifies things!
