### 5/5 — The best

*2026-04-24*

I’ve looked at a number apps for Bangkok Rail system and I keek going back to this one. It’s simple and easy to follow especially if arriving at the airport with easy to see transfers from one rail line to another. Just great.

### 5/5 — Bangkok

*2026-03-11*

Good application

### 5/5 — Help for Tourist

*2026-02-19*

### 5/5 — Absolutely indispensable

*2025-01-27*

Have been using this app for three months. Now have the upgraded version which offers a lot more detail on cost and Metro apps for other Southeast Asia cities. I use this every single day that I am here in Bangkok. 

Absolutely indispensable!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2023-12-31*

Finally a simple app that delivers straight forward trip information and links up with google maps,well worth the small fee to unlock extra features

### 1/5 — The Developer is a Joke

*2023-10-18*

It’s a crap app and he conned me out of a few bucks for it. Don’t buy.

### 5/5 — The best choice for MRT Bangkok

*2023-01-28*

The official app never loads and has issues for me. I found this app to me the superior one. 

If I could wish for anything, wether it’s possible. Would be to add a ticketing service with in the app in a way that you can buy your ticket before and then use your phone to contactless to access the barriers.

Obviously, this might already exist but I’m a U.K. tourist and I’m unaware if it does.

### 5/5 — World class city

*2022-09-27*

I’m from Canada and Bangkok is super modern and super enjoyable! The people, the food, the architecture it’s incredible! I love this city. If I ever relocate from Ontario it will be to Bangkok! Cheers!
