To the developers, a fantastic job you all did. I downloaded this on arrival and you can filter by tourist destinations and then navigate there by subway. Honestly I planned my entire trip using this app. Each tourist destination expands to give users detailed info about the venue so you can decide if you want to visit or not. And it’s FREE. Thank you , I will visit your country again.
