Your privacy policy- violates user data rights

Violates UK/EU GDPR (data protection act)

Correct way:

• Opt-in → site offers request popup before any data collection → user selects in part of all data sharing based on purpose → user accepts or declines & continues with site / app

All off by default, except essentials for basic functionality, ≠ marketing/advertising

May violate act:

• Opt-out → request popup → user unselects each usage and legitimate interest based on purpose or vendor

→ User accepts all or some & continues with site / app

Clear violation (your way):

• Accept or leave → user must navigate to privacy page1️⃣ to know what happens with their data → user discovers usage has no opt-in (site doesn’t offer any thing on load) → to use any services (app, site) any data collection is ‘acceptable’ → (on site) company non-consensually sends trackers including a profiling tracker

→ user leaves/discontinues with tracker

or

→ user stays & further data breaches likely

1️⃣ App Store has direct link, otherwise there’s no non-English link on its nav bar yet the content is only in English

Very detailed and features full for tourists

Great updates with New Line #18 included

Subscription recruited to stop app annoying you

Come on guys, this subscription mode is horrible, and overpriced. Just put in place a one time fee to remove adds, and don’t hide the ‘offline map’ as a VIP only feature. Otherwise it is the best of a bunch of GZ metro maps, that I have always recommended to others. It’s a 5 Star app, spoilt by a silly subscription that won’t prove popular. Please re-think

Easy to use, functional

Has language options for English and Chinese. Just put in start and end station and a variety of route and transfer options will be presented which makes it easy to say, avoid line 3. List of stations organized by line works great. Map works fairly well, but is kind of awkward considering the size of metro lines on a small screen.

Enter the app and a game pops up!

As soon as I opened the app some silly game piped up. Brought me back to the days early on the internet when you would go to a site and a bunch of pop up windows would be brought up. Total waste of time.

simple and easy to use

I used this last year while in Guanzhou and it was so simple to use even my friend who lives in shenzhen was impressed. with the updates they have done it looks even better and easier to use than last year and I didn't think it could get any better but well done design team.

Best metro map of Guangzhou.

I've tried a lot of metro maps of Guangzhou and this is the best. Easy to use, up to date, and lots of features. I'll be downloading more of metromans metro maps, that's for sure.
