### 5/5 — . I give it a 10 star if available.

*2026-06-22, version 2026.03.03*

Very informative app for travellers.

### 2/5 — Incomplete Info, too many ads

*2026-06-21, version 2026.03.03*

Here in Croatia now and they only provide a few of the available routes, not all. For example they’ll only show routes from one ferry company to a destination when there are two or three companies that service the same destination and at different days and times. Also the interface can sometimes be confusing with just way too many ads which often take up more than half the screen. Lots of room for improvement.

### 2/5 — Need to change the map

*2026-06-08*

I’ve normally been a fan of this app/site for many years but I’m not ok with “Palestine, Israel” showing up when I search Palestine.

### 2/5 — Let down by new update

*2026-05-10*

This used to be my favorite app for solo traveling. As you could get around easily without really needing to talk to locals in other countries. However this new update has completely ruined it. For some reason when I search for a destination it won’t provide me the specific lines (bus # or train line) to get to a destination. More recently all the directions for metro are saying “No schedules available” even though there are trains running. Rome2Rio developers, I loved your app, if there’s any way to fix this please let me know.

**Developer response:** Line numbers have been added back - they were mistakenly removed in a previous update

Thanks so much for the feedback! Can you email us at feedback@rome2rio.com with more details re: missing metro schedules?

### 1/5 — Why change it

*2026-04-25, version 2026.03.03*

This was a great app but the changes now have rendered it unusable. It used to show how many stops and their names but now one needs to go to the train operator. The old rule should apply “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”.

### 3/5 — Non prise en compte du métro tram

*2026-04-14*

J ai testé l application sur mon trajet Lille -Seclin et il m a proposé un tarif train presque 3 fois plus cher car pas prise en compte que dans la Mel sur ce trajet on peut circuler avec un simple ticket de métro ilévia à 1,80€ au lieu de 3,78€ propose par la sncf pour le ter. Dommage. 1 ère impression non validé.

### 4/5 — Частично лучше Гугла

*2026-04-08*

Добрый день!
Посмотрение маршрута с учетом времени на пересадку и поездок на метро и автобусах супер! (Российские пол зоватнли правда к такому привыкли в 2Гис), но ужас в том, что нет поддержки загрузки города. А что если у меня внезапно пропал интернет через есим (как у меня была недавно в Казахстане), куда мне тогда бежать и что делать?
Добавьте, пожалуйста, поддержку офлайн карт и русского языка на десерт :)

### 2/5 — New version

*2026-03-21*

Uses to love it, hate the new version

### 2/5 — Nouvelle mise à jour 👎

*2026-03-17, version 2026.03.03*

La nouvelle mise à jour est moins précise que l’ancienne! Il Manque les horaires, les numéros de bus à prendre  .Déçu . L’ancienne version était juste top

### 5/5 — Best trip planning app

*2026-03-04, version 2026.03.03*

Being in DriveAway, and needing to get from location to location, I have no idea what I would do without this app!
