  • Loved this app until....

    I live in Beijing and the subway is my primary mode of transport. At first, this app was awesome. I used it regularly. I even supported the developer.

    But after the iOS 10 update, problems began occurring regularly. Line 13 never shows as a faster route, the "email us" option doesn't work, times between stations are very hit or miss (6-10 minutes off at some) and I'm also not a fan of having to upgrade for EACH CITY map I download.

    I'd love to alert the developer to the problem via another now but it seems the "rate this app" function is the only one that still works properly. A real shame as I've been telling everyone for over a year to download this app because it was the best.

  • I paid for the app a few years ago but developer wants more money now for full functionality

    I paid for the full app a few years ago. Now the developer issued app for free and now requests more money to get functionality my paid version used to have. There is no restore purchase or recognition that I did pay for it. I have invoice and can prove to developer. Waiting for his reply.
  • Please keep it up to date

    The Beijing subway system was changed nearly a month ago with no response from the developers of this app. Would rate 5 stars if updated regularly.
  • BEWARE NOT UPDATED FOR 2015

    BEWARE this app does not have the new routes as of the end of December 2014. For example Line 15 now extends west beyond Wangjing West, but this app has line 15 stopping there.
  • Out of date

    The Beijing metro is growing fast this map is out of date.
  • Great and easy to use for first timers

    Easy to follow. Quickly find the nearest station. You can flag where you will start/stop and receive info on the number of stops and time duration.
  • Works like a charm

    Just downloaded it and checked it out. Very well designed and intuitive. Does what you want it to do. Gives you an up-to-date subway map, incorporates your iPhone's GPS and map functions, includes local tips for each station fed in by users (some filtering or editing will be needed when these get too numerous). At two bucks, what's not to like?

  • Beijing Metro very helpful

    This app has been applied numerous times getting us around Beijing. It has been used innumerable times in the two years we have lived in Beijing.
  • Almost perfect

    As someone that travels regularly in Asia, these apps are great. One thing is preventing me from giving it five stars: in previous versions you could touch a subway line and get a pop-up bubble telling you what line it is. I miss that; being color blind means the guide at the bottom does not really help me!

  • Great app! I use this daily

    Easy to read on an iPhone. Woks off line (so you can actually use it on the subway)!! Highly recommended

    Question: will you update it for the new line 6 opening this week?
