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… ### 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 — Most useless app ever *2025-10-19, version 2.9.7* Literally just tells you which line to get on, not direction or platform it’ll say something like yellow line between St-James and South Shields even though you cannot get a train to either location to get to your destination… (for example chillingham road) it’s basically useless just follow signs ### 3/5 — 为什么没有青岛地铁？ *2025-10-18* 加上一些小城市的地铁就完美了 ### 4/5 — Voyager en transports en communs *2025-10-16* Je recommande pour les personnes qui ne sont pas habitués à prendre les transports en communs (bus, métro, train ### 1/5 — Horrible for CDMX *2025-10-11, version 2.9.7* The app-even the paid version-offers only the subway (metro) network, but none of the other integrated services like metrobus, Tolleybus, RPT, Cablebus… etc; and none of the true connective tissue of the system, the Colectivos ### 3/5 — Findet keine Adressen, *2025-09-08* sondern nur Haltestellen ### 2/5 — Voller Werbung *2025-09-06* Wenn ich schnell eine Information zum Metronetz brauche, geht das nicht, weil ich bei jedem Start minutenlang durch Werbung abgelenkt werde, die sich auch nicht einfach weg klicken lässt. Vielleicht ist die Kaufversion besser, die freie Version ist nicht gut verwendbar. ### 1/5 — Regularly opens ads with obnoxious audio that can’t be closed. *2025-09-02, version 2.9.7* I gave up on using it; I’m willing to pay for useful apps but most recently (Sept 2025) the app has full-screen ads with awful banjo music that can’t be closed by any obvious means; the ad likely obscures the close button. Since I can’t even test the app without paying the ransom money to get rid of this ad, I’ve uninstalled the app; I’m not going to buy a subscription on blind faith. Mapping apps are a dime a dozen anyhow. 🤷‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Asks for location to be on still doesn’t work *2025-08-09, version 2.9.7* Useless! You may as well just Google your mode of transport cos all this does is show you maps eg metro lines no location and guiding ### 1/5 — Not good at all *2025-07-21, version 2.9.6* Could not be more intrusive with ads and interruptions. Avoid! ### 3/5 — Übersichtlich aber nur bedingt hilfreich *2025-05-28* Hilfreich wenn man in diesem Augenblick an der Starthaltestelle losfährt, aber nur dann. Es wird nur EINE Fahrt vorgeschlagen, keine Alternativen, keine Taktfrequenz, einfach nur das. Das heißt, um meine Fahrt zu planen brauche ich eine App, die das alles macht, und wenn ich dann fertig bin und am Bahnhof stehe, dann kann ich auf diese App wechseln…. Ich verstehe den Mehrwert ehrlich gesagt nicht. **Developer response:** Hallo, Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Ich habe es an unser Entwicklungsteam weitergeleitet. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Mapway-Support ### 3/5 — Madrid metro *2025-05-21, version 2.9.5* Previous app Madrid metro is easier and less add than this current app MAPWAY ### 1/5 — Like trying to get blood out of a stone *2025-05-20, version 2.9.5* Oh man, just awful. I just wanted to know what time the trams were running, couldn’t even give me that info. Convoluted interface, just couldn’t get the information I needed. Dreadful! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-08-19, version 2.10.0* Can’t get ad off screen so app is useless! ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Noch nie so eine schlechte und unübersichtliche App gesehen . *2026-02-08* Eigentlich null Sterne ### 1/5 — App stinks *2026-02-01, version 2.9.7* New app blows. Can I just get home? Can’t hear the conductor. So I went to the app. Have to pay for premium to not get hit with ads. Can’t even check where the active location of the train is. Too confusing to be on the move. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Worse than old local version *2025-12-23* I used the old local version for Seoul. Now it is only adds. You cannot check anything without being annoyed for at least 5 seconds with unstoppable adds. Just use googlemaps or Kakaomap…. ### 5/5 — Mapway *2025-11-22* Maravilhoso! ### 5/5 — Super App *2025-10-03* Hilft mir sehr im Nahverkehr ### 5/5 — Géniale *2025-09-27* Super application, juste parfaite ! 👌🏼🫰🏼 ### 5/5 — So cool💎 *2025-05-17, version 2.9.5* Nice ### 5/5 — Mapway *2025-04-29* Useful app and easy access🙌🏻 ### 5/5 — Works well! *2024-09-15, version 2.5.1* I’d previously purchased one of the specific city apps, and they deprecated it in favor of the more universal application that supports all cities. It does work really well. I frequent three different cities with subway systems and I use this map to get around them every time I travel to them. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants offline system maps that simply won’t fail. :) ### 5/5 — Un bon outil pour voyager. *2024-09-03* Un bon guide ### 5/5 — Hongkong *2024-02-04* Sehr übersichtlich! **Developer response:** Vielen Dank Eddy --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
