So much potential but.... – Karta GPS - Offline Maps Nav Review

So I really loved the look and feel of this app when I downloaded it, so based on how it appeared, I spent a whole bunch of money subscribing to traffic and speed cameras and every other option available including buying some voices etc. Big mistake, I did all this assuming that as a navigation app, it would do a good job at that, but it routinely fails that test. Almost without exception I can enter same start and destination in Karta and then 3 or 4 other apps, most using OSM maps, and they will usually all give the same optimum route, but not Karta. In fact I don’t know that it has ever suggested the same route as the other apps. Just today, it wanted me to get off the highway and instead of taking the loop exit to go west, it wanted me to take the east exit and do a U-Turn! I have tried sending examples to technical support but honestly a navigation app has to be good at that before anything else can really matter. If they get that right, this is a winner, I think it is the best overall product for appearance, features etc except for the routing issues, so I hope they figure out their algorithm problems.
