LocationIQ Reviews

Pros

Across the projects where I've used this service, it has been very complete and highly accurate. It lets you look up places using different languages and still delivers the correct information.

Cons

Even though the place names are quite comprehensive, there are cases where they don't include the terms people commonly use. For instance, airports are often identified by their acronyms and searching with those acronyms may not return any results.

Pros

About 10 minutes was all our developers needed to update the APIs and deploy everything to the servers and getting this up and running took almost no time at all. It is also incredibly affordable and we are saving around 90% compared to Google Maps. On top of that the maps themselves look beautiful.

Cons

After trying other mapping tools, it's honestly tough to point out many negatives with LocationIQ. The only thing we'd really want is more map customization, like being able to adjust colors, gradients and similar design elements.

Pros

Putting it into our existing system was simple and pretty much self-explanatory and the low cost is a big plus.

Cons

Everything working well is the situation at this point and I really do not have anything to complain about.

Pros

Everything works well and the overall process feels dependable and trustworthy for users.

Cons

What sets it apart is its reliability and I have not come across another option with this level of quality in use.

Pros

The free tier has been a big help for new businesses and I have to say it works really well.

Cons

Haven't come across any issues yet. We'll keep exploring more as the business continues to grow.

Pros

Geocoding turned out to be extremely useful and adding LocationIQ to our product went smoothly without any hassle.

Cons

We didn't run into any problems at all while integrating their service.

Pros

Within a day my geocoding problems were cleared up by getting this up and running. All it took was tweaking the requests to match what I needed and after that everything was set.

Cons

The only downside was that a few addresses still couldn't be located.

Pros

Everything feels manageable and the free plan is a big plus. The whole setup is presented in a simple way that doesn't leave me feeling confused.

Cons

Overall, it's been really good so it's honestly hard for me to point out any real downside to this product.

Pros

Having free geocoding available is a big plus and the API documentation is clear which makes it manageable to work with.

Cons

Looking for a cost-effective geocoding service was all we were doing and it delivered exactly that so I really do not have any complaints.

Pros

documentation stands out and getting started is very simple while the support team is very helpful.

Cons

My honest experience has been free of downsides and everything has been working really well.

Pros

What the free trial offers is enough limits to properly test things out and getting it up and running was simple.

Cons

Nothing specific stands out at the moment since we still haven't used it heavily enough yet.

Pros

Using this product feels very effortless and the speed is incredibly fast.

Cons

Honestly, I don't have any complaints about this geolocation tool.

Pros

Easy to use and the integration instructions were excellent for fitting it into our solution.

Cons

Coming up with no cons is easy here since we have not run into any issues at all.

Pros

Clear and helpful documentation throughout and getting started with this software as a beginner felt very approachable.

Cons

I didn't run into any real issues with the product, though it would be even better if there were more options to throttle calls.

Pros

Getting this up and running was simple and it connected nicely with the tools we already use in our current stack.

Cons

Some optimization would help the reverse geocoding feature since reaching what we need through it is still extremely complex.

Pros

LocationIQ has been the perfect option for searching locations in OpenStreetMap. I use it together with the WordPress plugin MapsMarker Pro and it works really well.

Cons

At this point, I honestly don't have anything negative to say about LocationIQ. Best to try it yourself.

Pros

Being free is a big plus and the tool is simple to use. It also locates postcodes accurately.

Cons

It would be better if it could geolocate some additional postcodes. It should also be able to find full addresses in countries that do not use postcodes, such as Turkey.

Pros

Geocoding, routing and the distance/time matrix all perform really well. The pricing is low and with the available limits, the free tier is often enough during development. Having 5,000 requests in the free version is a very reasonable allowance. The results are accurate and dependable and it may even be the best geolocation API out there.

Cons

One limitation is that a distance/time matrix request can only include up to 25 total input points so working with a few hundred points means splitting it into many separate requests.
