I traveled to china often for trade shows and noticed a couple major cities they should have but haven't include. Wrote them a suggestion and quickly received a response they will work on it. Other map available are all pretty good with travel time, route, stop locations, etc. pretty good overall. Now I can just click on one app and just select the city I am in.
I purchased this app several years ago and am very happy with it! Love the way it shows which trains to catch in the big cities. It’s great for planning your travel plans. Very fascinated with trains and subways in general! Highly recommended!
I have it four stars because it's really useful and informational. User friendly & simple to read, providing you with practical info. However I'm done with its adds which you have to wait for seconds before they vanish. I'd rather pay $15 for such a convenient app than having to look at the ads when I'm mostly in need.
There are times where the map is out of date and you should check the official city transit map but that’s usually one or two stations per city. Aside from those infrequent errors it’s easy to use and the maps are well done and accurate.
This was super helpful on our trip to Tokyo. Easy to plot our rout and get exactly where we wanted to go. Only thing that would make it better would be to add the platform numbers to the transfer stations. Hardest part on transfer is to know which platform to be on. Other than that, great app!
Will not stop asking me to do a “free upgrade”. I do it and it offers another free upgrade. Of course the app is unusable while the offers keep coming. Just deleted the app so I have no idea if it would be useful if it would not be so annoying. Just download apple or google maps. They appear to be more complete, are more user friendly and are totally free with more information.
I love putting the markers for bars and restaurants and things to do and save them so it’s easy to see where everything is in relation to where I am. Love it!
Downloaded app, found its not accurate, not current and incomplete on many levels it got us lost instead of helping us travel. Shows metro lines as under construction when they have been complete for months, doesn’t show bus numbers, locations are inaccurate. The app premise and design could really work would the data in it be current… because it’s so bad we could only give it one star at best.
I love this app for Tokyo as it’s pretty much all up to date with lines and stations. I would love to give it 5 stars but Osaka needs an update!!! Does not even have Rinku-Town station on here which is very surprising! Please do another update with Osaka in mind!
Really loved being able to use this app to look at maps and especially plan routes on my trip while my phone had no regular cell service! I wish I had known in advance that only one map could be unlocked for free.
They only give one map free which is fine. However they don’t warn you about it first. So I unlocked one map (Hiroshima) without knowing it’s my only free one. But I’d much rather have Tokyo which I am visiting first before deciding to buy any others. Unfortunately there’s no way to undo my selection and there’s no upfront warning that you only get one free selection, so that’s why I’m giving this a low rating.
Great app but needs to be updated more often… it is missing lines in cities where it makes it inconvenient to rely on the app. Basically, if your city is updated or hasn’t added any lines, this app is great for you.
There are inappropriate ads that appear along the top banner. How can this app be approved for ages 4+? I was about to recommend that my teen download this app for an upcoming trip but since you’re not paying attention to the content of the ads I won’t be recommending it to anyone.
The route making is very mechanical. You should be able to use the train map to create your route just by tapping on the stations. Also, the app lacks information on what gates to take, what floor or platform number to go to.
Being easily able to overlay the routes with landmarks and the names of the route from stop to finish was a tremendous help in validating train routes and direction!
This app used to have important maps for free. Now they’re charging you for every map you need/want except one. I’m a traveler around Japan and the world and find it very useful but not anymore. You’re probably better off using Apple Maps because they have train routes all over the place now.
Similar to the Tokyo map, Osaka & Kyoto should be combined and also expanded to include it’s surrounding metro areas of Kobe and Nara Prefecture (Kintetsu Line). The Osaka & Kyoto maps by themselves is incomplete thus inconvenient. The Tokyo map on the other hand is perfect, including Yokohama, Kawasaki, Saitama etc… the entire metro area.
We're using it in San Francisco, and before we got the app, it was hard to navigate the city. Now that we got the app, navigating the city is simple!!!
I have now used this in Tokyo, Seoul, NYC and Hong Kong. No other maps needed. And well worth buying the entire world. This is now my go to travel map...
Apple and Google Maps do a much better job with transit, are easier to use and are free. With City Rail Map: There is no attempt to show the next train as there are no schedules. There are no addresses for train stations, though there is a small map which does not indicate your location. There is no way to purchase tickets. It costs $4.99 to unlock one city. The above are free. I do not understand the rating this app gets. Apple and Google Maps are free, apps from the transit companies are free and far more functional (schedules, ticketing).
This application has not been contemplated with a Denver map yet. Thus, I used a link asking for one to be created. For my surprise the Application Manager said they will create one. Great, they are listening to users' comments an requests. I will write again when this request got fulfilled! Thanks.
This application does not show subway exits on their map, nor is it responsive in selecting a station for review. I had to keep poking around for quite a while to get any reaction. Frankly, this software is a rip-off - I can not recommend it.
What I despise is the way this app was “promoted” via a free “Tokyo Rail” app which didn’t do anything but consumed data and redirect to this new for-pay app. Better be honest upfront.
Until yesterday this app was great. It now has intrusive ads on the screen even if you already “unlocked” (i.e. “paid in some way for”) that city. One star.
The numbering on the yellow line (Arishiyama line) is off and caused me to get off one stop early and miss a transfer. A6 is NOT Randen Tengingawa!! That station is A5. Obviously some of the other numbers are off.
A LOT of free city maps that were available have been swallowed up into this app, which charges you at least $3.00 to open any of them. Eff you, no way.
Tells you to “upgrade” to another one of their free apps. Then this app is only free for 3 days. The app will not allow you to do anything, says support is ending soon. Money wasted on this.
The Worcester line of the Commuter Rail is missing the “new” Boston Landing station, which was opened on May 22, 2017. So, basically I just wasted my money on this app because it cannot be trusted.
Very limited set of cities and better sources of free info
Fails on numerous accounts, Doesn’t have my home town, Dallas metro (DART), a metro area with numerous lines and airport access. Near totally useless for the country with the most cities with subways... China. Google maps and Apple Maps have this info for, wait for it, free. Why or who would use this app?
