Thank you so much for the reviews of MapChick’s Isla Mujeres! Our greatest compliment is satisfied customers!
Awesome app for Isla Mujeres
Perry and Laura McFarlin having been making paper travel maps for Cancun and surrounding areas for about 20(?) years now. I bought my first maps many years ago and these maps have always been helpful to find new places – especially with their helpful tips (good & bad reviews). They make regular trips to Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Isla Mujeres, etc. to keep their content fresh and accurate. We even met them in October 2014 on one of their work trips. All of this hard work has now been transferred to an app for, our favorite place, Isla Mujeres. Going to Isla Mujeres? Get the app. Highly recommended.

Trip to Isla Mujeres? You need this app!
This is the first time I’ve ever been compelled to write an app review. Trust me when I tell you, this app will make your visit to Isla Mujeres so much better.
For several years, I’ve purchased the paper maps that MapChick (company that developed this app) produced for Isla Mujeres. Truly, some of the best maps I’ve ever seen. Incredible detail containing true “insider information”. I kinda felt like I had a local tour guide in my back pocket.
Well, fast forward to 2019. They understood they needed to go digital & replace the paper maps. Two years worth of work & this is the result. Kept all the good stuff & added cool digital components.I’ve been using it for a day now and spent over 4 hours on it. For a brand new release of an app, I’ll give it an A-. Are there a few things that need to be addressed? Yes. Of course. But they are minor. They were totally committed to the quality of their paper maps and I’m betting they will put that sort of focus behind this digital version.
Bottom line, if you are planning on spending any time on Isla Mujeres, this app is a necessity. Buy it & you will thank me for my advice.

As someone who travels to Isla many times a year
As someone who travels to Isla many times a year I feel like I still find new things every visit. This app is absolutely perfect! The $15 for full access is a no brainer. In 5 minutes on the app I already have found new beach clubs I’ve missed. I love being able to see the rental homes and information on how to rent them! Such a great touch! Well done and I can’t wait to use this on the island. I’m enjoying at at home and making lists of all the hidden gems to try.

Very fortunate to have the privilege to use this app during my visit. I can’t tell you how great of a tool it has been for us. I personally have never used an app as completely setup for a place I’ve visited. I go home today, but over the last 7 days I have gone and seen things I never even knew existed. My family is forever grateful. Thank you Laura !

I purchased the full app and was having problems with the map. Laura worked hard to come up with a solution. I am pleased to say with her efforts, the app works perfectly. The work and effort put into this app is amazing. Thank you for a job well done.

I just purchased the full app and it’s amazing! I am in awe of the time, work and effort that has gone into it by the two of you. Seriously, I didn’t expect the app to be as good as it is. Congrats on a job well done!

We just left Isla and that app was worth 10 times what we paid. We were never lost and always had great suggestions for anything we might need. Thank you so much, it is amazing

At this point I should mention that I purchased MapChick Laura’s Isla Mujeres app for the phone and it is probably the best app purchase I have made. It uses your location on the island and you can find things around you with hours and descriptions all without the need for WiFi or data turned on. We have AT&T and our plan includes Mexico so with it we could also view menus and check out their web sites and Facebook pages that are linked right in the app using our data. Of course those are also viewable on free Wifi where you find it. It also supports family sharing so I could share it with Joetta to use on her phone as well. If you are coming to Isla and reading this, get this app!
