Excellent public transport directions

Worst Korean App Every

I spent my first week here in Korea 2026 after living here since 2019 trying to use this app. And every single location, Restaurant subway train and everything was absolutely wrong. It constantly made me lose my place. Miss my train. Be late for dates. Just download KakaoMap.

Impossible to login

Naver is supposed to be the map app to use in South Korea, where I shall be going soon. Maybe it is, I haven’t used it yet. But I’ve just wasted half a morning on many futile attempts to login, including changing various settings on my phone and waiting for an SMS to turn up, which never did. Maybe it’ll work when I get to Korea. We’ll see.

Doesn’t work

Set it up at home in Australia before travelling. Land in Korea, and it does work here, just gives me some weird, non-working β€˜accept’ button.
