### 5/5 — Invaluable Resource

Loving this app - it’s helped me feel like so much less of an idiot while exploring New York (and hopefully moving here).

### 5/5 — Super Subway App

*2024-08-26, version 3.18.9*

Much better than any other NYC subway map

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2024-08-13*

This app is amazing. It shows you type of platform of every station, shows which station you can transfer to another train and a lot more. Just type in the station name you are coming from and the place you want to go to and It will highlight the routes and the train letter/number. 100% will recommend!

### 5/5 — Best subway app

*2024-04-18, version 3.17.15*

The best

### 5/5 — Android, please!

*2024-03-06, version 3.17.15*

Hi. I’ve been using this app for years on all my Apple phones, but I would really, really, REALLY appreciate it if you guys would offer this app for Android, on the Google Play store. I’m sorry to say, my next phone will be an Android, and I’d REALLY LIKE to keep using this app on it!

### 5/5 — Phenomenal Transit App

*2024-02-28, version 3.17.15*

Use this app constantly to plan trips to NYC. Works off-line and has a easy to read layout. I recommend to everyone who needs to take the subway.

### 5/5 — Perfect accompaniment to other apps

*2024-02-25, version 3.17.15*

This makes it so much easier to quickly see which trains stop at which stations!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic, accurate map!

*2024-02-12, version 3.17.15*

Love this app and use it all the time.

### 5/5 — Great map that never lets you down!

*2024-01-04*

People tried to convince me to use Google Maps to navigate the subway system in NYC but KickMap has great reviews so I took a chance. I spent a week in NYC traveling back and forth from Manhattan to Brooklyn and KickMap was my go-to app.  The colors and letters for the lines were easy to follow.  Highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

*2023-06-29, version 3.17.15*

From an old lady.  It simply shows you the way.

### 5/5 — Great. Easy to use and very clear.

*2023-05-24, version 3.17.15*

Very clear and east to use. This map is all you really need in the city, it's simple so if you're looking for bells and whistles maybe its not for you but I've never needed anything else.

### 5/5 — Holy Grail

*2023-01-31, version 3.17.15*

Best subway app ever for New Yorkers Has been a loyal customer for almost 6 years.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Used to be 5 star.

*2022-06-16, version 3.17.15*

Needs an update to ios15. Not updating me anymore on subway delays.

### 1/5 — Kick map

*2019-10-02, version 3.15.3*

This app did not work at all, total waste of money!

### 1/5 — Does not work!

*2015-09-22*

App is crushed. I could not use. It's crap.

### 2/5 — Used to be my favorite train app now it just lies to you

*2023-09-14, version 3.17.15*

Kickmap was great at first. Now it just lies and you sAdsays trains came when they didn’t. Youll be standing on the platform and it will say train in one minute. Then nothing until it says the train arrived on time but your still standing on the platform

### 2/5 — App

*2019-05-05*

Mittelmäßig alles in Allem, relativ häßlich, nicht besonders übersichtlich, manche Verbingungen, wie z.B. von und zum Flughäfen werden nicht angezeigt...schade,besodners wenn man überlegt, es kostet Geld.

### 3/5 — Service changes

*2022-03-27, version 3.17.15*

Service changes have not been updating for a while. Please help.

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2023-12-22, version 3.17.15*

I rely on this map to get around.

### 4/5 — Great with directions and updates

*2023-03-25, version 3.17.15*

I used an Android for a few weeks and I loved the MyTransit app, which unfortunately is not available for iOS.  KickMap was the closest I could find. The dial for the alerts is a little weird to use, and the bubbles for the alerts don’t always disappear after you check them, but the maps are great, especially when mapping routes, and i love the list of neighborhoods.

### 4/5 — missing widgets

*2023-02-09, version 3.17.15*

great map and UI but would really love widgets!

### 4/5 — Good interface, doesn’t track MTA changes.

*2020-05-07, version 3.17*

Map shows many lines running at night when they are in fact all shut down (May 7, 2020).

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Superior interface

*2026-07-15*

Why use a paid version of KickMap over one of the many free subway apps? The interface, usability and aesthetics are all superior. Whenever someone sees me pull up this app and get instant info with a simple press/hold of my finger, they always ask me what it is, and most download it too!

### 5/5 — My go to subway guide !

*2026-06-18, version 3.19*

Easy to use

### 5/5 — 👍

*2026-05-12, version 3.19*

Don’t need to be online to access map.

### 5/5 — U

*2026-02-18, version 3.19*

Good

### 5/5 — Intuitive and easy to use

*2026-01-30*

I’ve had this app on my phone for about 10 years, i used to refer to it constantly but i still use it from time to time when i’m in a less familiar part of the city……not one time has it ever let me down….the simple, straight forward map desgin makes is super easy to use and navigate. Again 10 years i’ve had it and i know it’s always there if i need quick reference or reminder. Thanks for the app guys. 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Must have for New Yorkers

*2025-11-27*

Let’s face it, you don’t always have internet in a metal box underground. Having an offline subway map is useful. The added features make it well worth the price.

### 5/5 — Best subway app

*2025-07-22, version 3.18.10*

The best

### 5/5 — Great app that I paid for!

*2025-04-18, version 3.18.9*

I indefinitely like the idea of staying alert during transit, and this app is the best MTA Experience I’ve ever had.

### 5/5 — Easy Peezy

*2025-02-24, version 3.18.9*

A simple, easy to read subway map that has never let me down!

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2024-10-15, version 3.18.9*

Very useful everyday.
