### 5/5 — Transporte

*2025-02-14, version 3.10.1*

Excelente servicio 👍

### 1/5 — Doesn’t guide you

*2024-09-27*

The problem with this app is that you already need to be an expert at knowing the NYC subway system in order to use it. But if you’re just standing on a random street corner and you want to know how to get from your current location to somewhere else, it won’t tell you where the nearest subway station is and it certainly won’t even tell you how to walk to the nearest subway station. It basically just shows you the subway lines, but trying to get to the subway or navigating the subway is up to you.

### 5/5 — Buen mapa

*2024-03-20, version 3.10.1*

Bueno para guiarse

### 1/5 — Good Idea, Poor Execution

*2023-12-29*

Looked like it had a great map where you could select your station but it did not work. To make things worse, as I kept trying to work out the details an ad would pop up and disrupt the entire process. Id pay $5-$6 for a good app with an interactive map. This isn’t it.

### 5/5 — Clear and super helpful! Highly highly recommended

*2023-12-28*

Very impressive! Thanks!
