Frustrating experience

The app is great for navigating and finding your way around public transportation, BUT if you’re a foreigner creating an account outside of Korea, the app is really frustrating! I spent hours saving locations for my trip, and suddenly my account was locked. So I uploaded my ID and other documents to get it unlocked, just as the help page said, but they couldn’t do anything. I then opened a new account and had it verified right away so that something like this wouldn’t happen again. I entered all the locations there as well. Just a short time later, the account was suspended again, and this time, too, I only got the response that they couldn’t do anything. Without a Korean phone number, I can’t reactivate the account myself either. There are lots of people on Reddit who’ve shared similar experiences. How can this be? I’m now switching to a different app to plan my vacation, because I’m not going to create a new account a third time.
@Naver: Please make the app more user-friendly for people from abroad!!

Needs Work

Didn’t tell me what places were closed, only had open. Wanted to go to pharmacy and alarm or some thing like that was triggered bc i didn’t know it was closed bc map didn’t tell me

Klunky

This app takes all day long to load. The developers need to take out the trash and put it on a diet.

Awful

This app is constantly crashing and once a month it gets rid of all my bookmarks and I need to delete the app and redownload it. Truly awful but I’ve amassed so many bookmarks that I can’t switch apps now. This app still blows chunks. 0 out of 5.
