Awful

After the last update there are a lot of ads which don’t let you use the app until you close it and open, non-usable app

Неплохо, но

Приложение хорошее. Единственное, если вы имеете отношение к метро Шанхая: я сталкивался с тем, что тихо объявляют остановки или объявляют не вовремя (например, следующую станцию объявляют после того, как поезд уже закрыл двери и поехал), а табло во многих вагонах отсутствуют. Часто приходилось выходить и смотреть, на какой станции сейчас нахожусь

Not Usable

I have Metro man apps for four other cities and they’re all wonderful. For Shanghai, I am not able to access anything on the metro. When I open the app, I can only get to a TaoBao application, wanting me to buy things. I reinstalled it and now when I open it, I can only get to something wanting me to buy insurance. I have not once been able to actually access the subway map or schedule.
