### 5/5 — そこそこ使いやすい

*2025-09-27*

友達に勧められて使ってみましたが近くにいかないと登録できないもののどこに行ったかなどもとても見やすくいつも使っています。

### 4/5 — ？？？

*2025-09-15*

京橋駅と宝町駅は同じ駅扱いなのでしょうか…

### 3/5 — 100mは狭い

*2024-07-14*

電車がその駅に停まっていても取れないことがある
100mは狭すぎると感じた

### 1/5 — アップデートがありません

*2024-06-02*

路線が増えてもアップデートされず、有料版も放置状態です

### 3/5 — 東北のBRTが対応してない

*2022-07-04*

機能が充実してて使いやすいですね。

本題なんですが、気仙沼線BRTと大船渡線BRTに対応してないような気がします。
是非対応お願いします。

### 4/5 — これは制作ミス？

*2022-07-03*

大阪メトロ今里筋線の瑞光4丁目の判定範囲が東側にずれており駅を出てから少し歩かないと判定されないようになっておりましたので報告しておきます

このアプリ自体は駅を訪れる楽しさが高くなりとても良いアプリであると思います

### 1/5 — 駅の場所がおかしく駅に居ても登録できない

*2020-12-17*

・新地駅（JR常磐線）
・坂元駅（JR常磐線）
・山下駅（JR常磐線）

恐らく付け替え前の場所が未だ「駅」としてなってると思われる。

### 2/5 — 機種変更

*2020-11-17*

機種変更の時にデータ移行ができないのが残念です。

### 4/5 — いいです

*2020-10-20*

この種のアプリの中では使い勝手と見た目がよいです。
ただ一つお願いです。GPSが使えない駅のために手動でチェックインできるようにして欲しいです。それができれば完璧だと思います。

### 2/5 — GPS電波が弱い

*2020-06-28*

東京モノレール線や一部のJR京葉線や地下鉄の電車位置が分からず、電波が弱いと思います。

駅近になったら、バイブでも良いのでアラート機能を付加して下さい。

2020/06/29 追記

JR武蔵野線の新八柱駅のマップが大幅にずれてます。

JR京葉線の八丁堀駅、駅近くなっても反映されません。
