Basic

Produces an accurate but basic output. For Tokyo rail provides routes but doesn’t give track number or indicate price. So still need to use other apps for the more detailed information that you need. Haven’t upgraded to the ad free version which might be better but somehow doubt it.

Bombards you with full screen Ads

I’ve stopped using this as when I want to look something up quickly on the metro, it bombards you with ads that you can’t clear for a long time.

Too many ads & Bloated

Yes the app does what it is meant to do, but it is full of ads and is quite bloated. The UI is also very slow.

Missing 1 important feature

This app could be great…I wish it showed you the full route from your starting location to your destination, rather than just the metro rail routes

Tokyo trip

Very helpful with navigating the city of Tokyo and subway for someone that doesn't live in a city with a subway. Once down in the subway a little more detail would have been nice but was still very helpful. Was able to use along with Google maps to be able to find different ways to get around Tokyo which allowed us to experience more of the city. Will definitely use this app again when traveling.

Works well!

I’d previously purchased one of the specific city apps, and they deprecated it in favor of the more universal application that supports all cities. It does work really well. I frequent three different cities with subway systems and I use this map to get around them every time I travel to them. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants offline system maps that simply won’t fail. :)

Ads kill this app

Want to make money with ads? Ok. Disrupting the app use with an ad the blocks the entire screen when you really need to see what train to take makes this app USELESS.

Appreciating there is no such thing as a free lunch

Quite a good app, but trying to get rid of the ridiculous adverts is a pain in the neck. I appreciate the app has to be funded somehow for the free version, but the average user of the app is not interested in repetitive advertisements for puerile childish games.
Not everyone has the low IQ mind of someone with their head stuck in TikTok or Instagram all day long as their solitary source of anything.

AVOID. CANNOT OPEN WITHOUT PAYING

Tried to access map after being directed to this ‘upgrade’. Could only get splash screen with payment options only. AVOID.

Subscriptions

This keeps asking me my phone number and charging me 12/year and doesn’t go away
I don’t want to give my number
