Umständlich aber verkaufsorientiert
Habe die Vollversion für meinen Japanurlaub gekauft. Gut: hier hat man viel an einem Platz in der App. Schlecht: sie ist vor allem dafür, die eigenen Dienstleistungen des Anbieters zu vermarkten. Sowas gibt es anderswo kostenlos. Meinen vorhandenen Japan Travel Pass konnte ich nicht hinterlegen, ich hätte nur über die App einen kaufen können. Brauch ich aber nicht. Jedesmal, wenn ich Zugreisen suche, soll ich den Pass kaufen. Ich möchte aber eigentlich nur die Sitzplätze reservieren! Sorry, aber hier muss an der Nutzerfreundlichkeit nachgebessert werden. Fazit: aufgrund der Umständlichkeit der App habe ich sie nicht nutzen können. Habe ich sie vermisst: Nein! Hat auch alles so wunderbar funktioniert. Schade nur ums Geld, das ist weg.

돈 뜯어먹는 사기 어플
어플을 통해서 리무진 버스를 예약하려고 결제 시도를 했는데 결제 승인은 났지만 티켓 큐알은 줄 수 없다고...?? 이러면서 어플이 닫혀버렸네요;;; 문의를 넣어도 답변도 없고 메일도 안오고 사기 맞았어요ㅋㅋㅋ

Great app-steep learning curve
This is the second time I’m using the Japan Travel by NAVITIME app. The first time, I paid for the subscription, but I struggled to understand how to use it effectively.
Now, I’m preparing for my second trip to Japan and using the free version in advance. I will probably pay for the subscription again shortly before my departure.
I like the app’s features, and it has the potential to be a very useful travel companion. However, there are several disadvantages, particularly for foreign travelers:
Steep learning curve: It takes time to understand how to search for places, add spots, create itineraries, and make changes to them. Although there is a “How to Use” section, I sometimes had to ask Google for help to figure out how to do certain things.
Difficult location searches: Searching for a place from scratch can be challenging if you are unfamiliar with Japan’s regions and prefectures. It would be helpful if the app made it easier to find places without requiring prior knowledge of Japanese geography.
Frustrating search experience on iPhone: When typing in the search bar, the spelling needs to be exact. Otherwise, the iPhone’s predictive text or spelling suggestions can interfere with the search, forcing you to delete your entry and start again. Even when a list of suggested places finally appears, you must tap and hold a result to select it correctly. Otherwise, you may have to start over again.
Booking list organization: The booking list for hotels and flights is handy, and the hotel widget is a great addition. However, bookings are listed with the most recently added item at the top. I would prefer the list to be displayed in chronological order, with the earliest booking first. Flights must be entered for individual legs even if booked as return flight
External activity bookings: Links to external experience and activity providers open in a separate browser. However, after selecting an activity, there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to add it to your itinerary directly. You have to return to the app and add it manually, which is inconvenient.
Limited subscription options and expensive pricing: The 30-day plan doesn’t provide much time to research and plan a trip in advance. The recommended 90-day plan, which costs approximately CAD $50, seems rather expensive for a trip lasting only two to three weeks. Be aware that the subscription starts as soon as you purchase it, not when your trip begins.
Overall, I like the app’s features and can see how useful it could be for planning a trip to Japan. However, the learning curve, search difficulties, and subscription pricing could be improved to make it more user-friendly, especially for first-time visitors to Japan. I recommend trying the free version first and becoming familiar with the app before deciding when to purchase a subscription.

Highly Recommended Transit for Non-Japanese People
I have been using this lately and I found out that this app is so easy to understand especially when you’re taking a train from different locations. It is clear and precise.
