  • Does a so so job of route planning

    Sometimes Google Maps is better for route planning. Sometimes this app is better. I use both and compare.
  • Great Resource

    Easy to use. Study it before you go and you’re a pro. Mind the gap!
  • Used To Be Great

    Have been using this app on and off for ages, was brilliant. Now, it has so many pop up ads, it's unusable.

    No, I'm not paying a ridiculous annual price when there are free options available.

    Uninstalled.
  • Excellent Ap

    The map of the London Underground is the best I have seen. Well worth getting.
  • Used to be good

    This app was wonderful for years, but since lockdown it’s become absolutely unusable. It opens, you start to navigate, but the screen turns into a full page advert for kids games, which you then can’t help but tap - as your finger was already committed. You then panic to find how to get the app back and somehow shut the advert page, before then landing back on the advert again and having to wait what seems like an age for the ‘X’ to appear to close it and get back to the map. Absolutely despicable user experience! This week it has now added a 2nd advert before leaving you alone, to double the deep pain you’re already suffering. And oh look, there goes the train I was looking to get 5 minutes ago.
    My advice; get a taxi, walk, get a paper map out even - just avoid this app, life is too short!..

  • Awesome

    Oh tube never stop being amazing
  • Good app, a few flaws

    I have the ad free version - always worth pay a small amount for this, so no intrusive ads etc. Bug 1: if you start the app in landscape mode the map is portrait and you need to rotate the iPad to portrait then back to landscape for the map to correctly render. Bug 2: latest January 2022 update doesn’t show the Moorgate to Oval part as closed (from 15th Jan) I.e. doesn’t render the same as the January 2022 London Underground Tube map.
    However typically the main app I use for tube info.

    Developer Response

    Hi, Thanks for the feedback. Re the moorgate to oval issue, unfortunately the map providers had an issue getting the updated maps to us, so we closed the stations in the routing facility and then updated the app with the map as soon as they arrived. I will pass your comments re the landscape/portrait on to the team Regards Mapway
  • Way too many ads

    Too many ads, especially back to back to back ads. Very annoying
  • Adverts make you wait 30sec before you can use the app. Directions are bad too.

    Terrible ads that you can’t close for 30seconds. You have to close 3 ads in a row, and they don’t have easy to spot “close” buttons, and even when you do find the close button it’s tiny and half the time it thinks you’ve clicked on the ad and takes you to the App Store. I get it, you need to make money from ads, but you’ve pushed it to the point where the app is a chore to use, so I’m deleting and just using TfL app even though your map COULD be better. Just tone it down lads. Also when you click on a station to make a route it uses that station as the start point? Obviously can switch it around easy enough, but just makes me think you’ve put very little effort/consideration into user experience. Also, dodgy route suggestions: searched for Stratford to Boston Manor, it told me the journey was -1105 minutes long (?), and even though it’s 2:30pm now it thought the next option was at 11:33pm. And can’t change time of departure. Got a long way to go to match Google maps capabilities.

  • The pop up ads make it unusable

    This used to be my go-to app, for years I relied on this to navigate around London. However, recently it has become completely unusable due to pop up ads which take 30 sec or more to close. They pop up at the most irritating moments - when I’m lost, trying to figure out how to get home, or trying to find another way to get to work - and it’s impossible to close them. Several times I have missed a connection or a bus, been stranded in the rain because the stupid ads wouldn’t close and I couldn’t see the route I needed. £9.99 a year is extortionate to pay for the ad-free version. So I am deleting this app and advise that you do too. Seriously, don’t bother with it - use City Mapper instead
