Great little app

Does the trick, easy to use, and straightforward. Not sure what a previous comment refers to about this pointing to Google Maps...not the case. It's a fully contained, stand alone app. Well done!

UPDATED 07.23.14
Have relied on this app for two Taipei trips now. As someone who travels extensively by Metro, this is the single most-used app on my phone. Would be sunk without it. Great work, folks!

Seems very worth it to me

This is the only MRT Taipei helper with new routes and up to date. US$ 1.99 was well worth it.

Worthless. You have to be connected

And if you have a connection, what is the point? This app is merely a portal to google maps. I somehow thought I was getting something else.

Very useful.

This app came in very handy on a recent trip to Taipei. MRT is excellent to get around. TIP: Buy one of the stored value cards; the single token fares can be a hassle to buy each ride.

OK

I agree. Not bad as a free app but there are better ones if one is to pay.
