### 2/5 — Impractical

*2023-07-15, version 6.1*

Take a good app and make it bad. How? Guide travelers to metro stops that are out of service, under construction, or generally closed. Without live updates, this app becomes more dangerous than useful, stranding out of towners in dead ends that require extra time to find work-around s to get out of. Find a different app…be warned.

### 4/5 — Practical

*2018-05-28, version 5.3*

Very useful, but, beware that sometimes a station may be closed for repairs causing you to have to reroute.  Be patient.

### 5/5 — Merci!!

*2017-10-17*

Merci pour cette MàJ qui permet de réutiliser l’appli :)

### 5/5 — Application super utile, mais...

*2017-09-27*

Serait-il possible de mettre à jour l’application pour iOS11? Je n’ai plus accès depuis la nouvelle mise à jour de l’iPhone...

L’application en elle même est superbe, efficace, simple et rapide.

Je recommande! 👍🏻

### 5/5 — So easy and so helpful

*2017-09-25, version 5.2*

We used the route planning a lot to navigate the metro.  It was very easy to use and the results couldn't be clearer.

### 5/5 — Great guide

*2017-09-14, version 5.2*

Couldnt navigate this city without it!

### 5/5 — Works every time

*2017-09-13, version 5.2*

User friendly, efficient. Please don't change anything, it works perfectly already!

### 5/5 — Excellent way to navigate Metro

*2017-07-13, version 5.2*

This app has a clean interface that makes it very easy to go anywhere the Metro goes. It made it possible for me to safely get all around the city without any worry.

### 5/5 — Worked perfectly. Recommended.

*2017-06-25, version 5.2*

While it's possible to navigate the extensive Paris Metro system with the station and on-board maps, this app makes planning any outing so much easier.

### 5/5 — Great application

*2017-06-08, version 5.2*

Worked really well on our visit to Paris.

### 5/5 — The best

*2017-05-20, version 5.2*

Don't leave home without it.

### 5/5 — So easy to use!

*2017-04-16, version 5.2*

Has been my go to navigation app in Paris. Je l'aime!

### 5/5 — Made my travel so easy in Paris

*2017-01-25, version 5.2*

Easy to download, easy to use, easy to read, made getting directions super clear. Able to use this sitting in the metro or somewhere else. What a blessing. I've already shared this app with other travelers I've come across.

### 5/5 — Need this in Paris

*2016-11-17, version 5.2*

Great map and app. Very easy to use and user friendly. You'll never get lost in Paris with this app. I'm keeping this in my phone to use in our next trip to Paris, because we will visit Paris again!

### 1/5 — Why no support iphon X

*2018-07-13, version 5.3*

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

### 1/5 — Use Apple maps. Save yourself a dollar and your marriage.

*2018-07-02, version 5.3*

I needed help so I downloaded this for .99cents and a free one. They’re maps alright. I like maps but this and the other one didn’t fill in “that” gap. “That” gap is when you’re where you need to to be but still don’t know what to do. -which of the 3 entrances do I go into? Which platform do I go to? Do I take the M or the RER? -your tickets won’t work for both. Oh! And which train do I get on as several varieties stop at your platform every three minutes all the while your family are disintegrating into bla bla bla. 
We just returned home from 4 days in Paris, I don’t speak French and it was hectic. Wow. Wasn’t it ever hectic and these maps provided no more help that a printed map. 
At the metro station of St Michele by Notre Dame, I launched Apple maps. As if the hand of Steve Jobs himself touched my right shoulder and whispered, “You’ve got this.” I entered my destination, “Eiffel tower” and using “transportation” -instead of the other map options like, Drive, walk etc and a turn by turn, step by step of what train, which platform, which direction -take the xyz to abc and in X stops get off just after Y and because Steve was quite the visionary my phone even showed me which direction to face and go!!! Bravo Apple Maps. Bravo.

### 1/5 — Necessita de atualização para IOS 11

*2017-10-09*

Estou viajando essa semana, baixei a versão paga e ainda não se atualizou para o IOS 11. Uma droga! Não recomendo!

### 1/5 — 1 star until 64 bit

*2017-07-02, version 5.2*

This app won't work with iOS 11.  Needs to be 64 bit, then 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Just a PDF

*2017-06-14, version 5.2*

Not worth it for just a PDF view, or it's not actually working on my iOS

### 1/5 — Trash

*2017-01-07*

The worst app I ever seen! There at least five free options better than this unfinished software. Moreover, it drains battery!

### 1/5 — Does not map journeys

*2015-07-09, version 5.2*

Save your money. Google maps will completely map journey including subway

### 1/5 — -5

*2015-01-11, version 5.2*

If I could I would rate this app -5. It is absolutely worthless. User interface is beyond unfriendly. You basically have to know the spelling of each and every single subway station for it to find it in its database. What a waste of a dollar. 

Makers of this app should be ashamed of themselves.

### 1/5 — Mal programa

*2012-08-11, version 3.6*

No funciona sin internet bien en paris hay diferentes tipos de transporte y si viajas te será confuso entender el procedimiento además esta en francés y tu por lógica lo deseas en español o ingles su es la primera vez que vas terminaras totalmente confundió

### 1/5 — Not very useful

*2012-07-19, version 3.6*

I found a free app which is much more useful than this. This requires you to enter station names. It doesn't use your GPS location. Entering street names or points of interest gives a 'Station not recognised' error. This is true even with the paid for bus extension. Wish I'd stayed with the free app. I found first. I'm deleting this one.

### 5/5 — Excellent Travel Companion

*2022-02-24, version 5.3*

Great app for helping navigate the Metro, indispensable for planning your trips.

### 5/5 — A MUST-HAVE

*2021-05-22, version 5.3*

Have used both times I’ve been to Paris and it makes the Metro so easy to navigate. And I rarely, if ever, use public transportation at home (mid-sized American city). Absolutely recommend.

### 5/5 — Mise à jour impérative

*2021-04-15*

Superbe application un peu "datée" qui mériterait une grosse mise à jour au niveau de l'affichage pour les appareils actuels et de certaines lignes avec ajout des nouvelles stations, super simple d'utilisation, au top pour se balader dans Paris.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2020-02-16, version 5.3*

I highly recommend this app for anyone wishing to navigate the Metro.  My wife and I recently traveled to Paris and utilized the metro as our primary way to travel. The app is very easy to use, tracks where you are so you can locate a close station and makes it very effortless to navigate how to get where you want to go. Very easy instructions lay out  which line and which direction you want to go.   Much better than pulling out a metro map!  I checked other apps before our trips d preferred this one for its simplicity.   Bravo!

### 5/5 — Life & Money Saver

*2019-10-01, version 5.3*

I bought this app with an assumption that it will be another waste of money app.
I was wrong. It is very easy to use and it will give you exact and accurate directions from one station to another.
We used this app and trains all
Over the Paris. We had to pay a taxi 110 euro to take 6 person from Paris City center to Airport, because the trains that were going to airport were under maintenance.
Otherwise it would have taken 4 euro a person.

### 5/5 — Super handy

*2019-09-11, version 5.3*

Not sure what I would in Paris without this app. Have used it for several years now. I notice they continue to add nice features.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2019-03-18, version 5.3*

Bad reviews are from the ones that don’t know how to use this application, and, it’s no brainer, don’t need to be a rocket scientist to use it. 
Easy to use and understand. We went all over Paris, from the airport to the hotel, from the hotel to different museums and monuments and even districts where regular people live and eat and no one time we got lost.

### 5/5 — Metro

*2019-01-16, version 5.3*

Great app and route planner.

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2018-10-17*

Application indispensable pour qui doit se déplacer à Paris et ne connaît pas les lignes de métro par coeur! Très facile à utiliser. Quant à l’option de recherche de stations, elle est très imparfaite: impossible de trouver Goncourt ou Concorde, par exemple.

### 5/5 — Simple is best

*2018-06-29, version 5.3*

No frustration. Straightforward and simple. Love this app.
