### 2/5 — Nicht empfehlenswert

*2026-06-07*

Nicht wirklich hilfreich. Die App ist zwar übersichtlich aufgebaut in sich aber nicht ganz schlüssig. Des weiteren lassen sich teils Metrostationen nicht finden, selbst mit diversen unterschiedlichen Schreibweisen. 
Für eine grobe Übersicht ok, Rest nein und überarbeitungswürdig…

### 1/5 — Impossible advertising and hard to use

*2026-05-31, version 2.9.7*

This took the place of  some local maps and has all the worst ads in it. Only use if you are prepared to pay for vip. And then it doesn’t have the same features that the original  Barcelona map had.

### 5/5 — I know my way now

*2026-05-02*

This app shows my home and how to go somewhere this is the best metro app I ever seen

### 2/5 — Omg so many ads

*2026-04-24, version 2.9.7*

It works but too many ads. Be good if it was free. Suddenly getting an ad at the most inappropriate time isnt helpful.

### 1/5 — Pop up ads

*2026-04-23, version 2.9.7*

This app is unusable. The pop-up ads completely block the screen and there is no way out of them.

### 1/5 — App showing walking directions

*2026-04-08, version 2.9.7*

The app usually works, but the past few days it have been showing walking directions instead of trains. What’s going on?!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-03-31, version 2.9.7*

I thought this helped you how to take public transportation but only option it gives is to walk everywhere. Not easy to use at all. Google is way better.

### 1/5 — Kostenpflichtig!!

*2026-03-18*

Frechheit, sowas mit Werbung anzubieten.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-02-24, version 2.9.7*

This app stinks. Every time you open it multiple ads pop up, rendering it very slow. Every. Single. Time. The maps are crummy too. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-02-10, version 2.9.7*

Can’t get out of ads. No t easy to navigate map for all lines. Awful.
