User reviews

Can’t get past onboarding

After asking for location services, can’t continue. If kill and restart app, just a blue screen.

Awful and frustrating

Just nothing more than an attempt to keep selling you stuff when providing publicly available train information. Very frustrating and annoying

Route Navigation

Really bad! Type in place name…click on it…and suddenly the name changes. You have to do this 3-4 times before it actually uses the place you want. Stupid!

Buggy time entries

If you’re outside Japan, it’s a challenge to make plans or itineraries in advance. You can’t make entries in Japan standard time. It assumes your local time and then converts it to Japan time. So what you enter and what gets saved are totally different unless you make those timezone calculations in your head.
