Google Maps App Returns to iOS

Update: The Google Maps app is now available on the App Store.

Original story follows:

Google will reportedly release a Google Maps app for iOS tonight. According to All Things D, “sources familiar with the matter” say the standalone map app is finally set to return, replacing the version removed from the latest version of Apple’s operating system.

Previous versions of iOS included the Google Maps app by default, but Apple replaced it with its own problematic Maps app, which it apologized for in September. Users had to use Google Maps from within iPhone’s Safari browser as a workaround due to no standalone app being available.

Google hasn’t officially confirmed the release of the app just yet, and no pricing has been revealed.
