Remove from iTunes if app will be discontinued

Update July 2012: Please advise if app will be discontinued soon. I travel weekly and directions no longer accurate in several locations; app not aware of new streets, etc. I assume that no updates, no fixing Google, means app should be removed from iTunes?? May 2013: I love this app and have used it for a long time. It's the best…when it works. The POI search crashes the app every time. That includes the native "Search by Name" or categories, and Google search. App is pretty useless without it. Please fix!!
problem with google

Disappointed. Maps not updated and the interface is is not polished. App last updated more than one year ago and crashes occur with iOS 7.
Works but...

Google search is crucial, they really need to fix the app crashing every single time you try it. It works but google search is completely unusable.

Been waiting a long time for this - thank you for the update. Looks great. Love the new features.
After waiting a year for an update, it now freezes on startup, and is therefore completely unusable

This GPS app used to be the best of the bunch, in my opinion, but Magellan seems to have virtually abandoned it. It was over a year between their last update and this one, in which time the app became increasingly buggy with each iOS sub-version update. For example, Google searches made it crash, many addresses in the contact list simply weren’t recognized as valid, and even entering addresses manually was extremely buggy. I was about ready to throw in towel and shell out another ~$50 for a different GPS app, when I discovered this app was finally updated. Needless to say, I was incredibly disappointed when I fired it up this morning, and discovered that it is completely unusable, because it freezes every time on the startup screen. I hope they fix this soon, and I hope they fixed the other serious bugs they had in the previous version, or this app (and the company’s reputation, as far as I’m concerned) will likely be going the way of the dinosaurs.
