Response from developer

Hello, this is the Seoul Subway App Team. We apologize for the inconvenience caused while checking real-time train information in the app. We have identified an issue where the app unexpectedly crashes when checking real-time train information for certain lines, and we are currently working on a fix. We will do our best to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. Thank you.

Tough Cheese

This app used to be useful to me on a daily basis. Now the developers have forced an invasive update that demands privacy violating information like my present location. I will delete this app and never use it again. You don’t get to demand my information. EVER.

Response from developer

Hello, this is the Seoul Subway App Team. Location permission is required in our app to accurately provide information about nearby stations. Please be assured that your location data is only processed when you actively use features like "Find My Location". No data is transmitted to our servers when the app is not in use, and there is absolutely no unauthorized collection or tracking of personal information. We are reviewing options to make the app usable without location permissions in the future. We will keep working hard to improve our app. Thank you.

Used to work but doesn’t now

I have used this app for years, but just recently it gives me a pop up saying I need to have location on- it takes me to settings and I change the permissions- but it still won’t let me use the app. Deleting and redownloading has not worked.

Response from developer

Hello, I'm the person in charge of the Seoul Transportation Corporation app. The information you inquired about can only be used if you allow Bluetooth usage rights. Please allow it and use it. Thank you.

기능이 뭔가 중구난방이에요

지연증명서, 서행 정보 같은거 웹사이트로 날리지 말고 앱 안에서 해결할 수 있었으면 좋겠어요

그리고 역 즐겨찾기 할때마다 교통약자 어쩌구 나오는거 - 안나오게도 설정 바꿀 수 있게 옵션 제공해주세요

뭔가 넣으라고 해서 기능 억지로 넣긴 넣었는데 어떻게 해야 Ui ux 가 퍈해질지는 고민 안한 느낌입니다

안녕하세요 또타 지하철앱 운영팀입니다. 이용 중 불편을 드려 진심으로 죄송합니다. 고객님께서 느끼신 아쉬움에 공감하며, 보다 신뢰도 높은 공공서비스로 발전할 수 있도록 지속적인 품질 개선을 진행 중입니다. 앞으로 더욱 편리하고 정확한 앱으로 개선해 나가겠습니다.

음..좋긴 한데.. 애매..

민원접수를 어플내에서 바로 할 수 잇는게 아니라 어쨋든 메세지로 이동해서 열차번호 및 민원내용을 한번 더 작성 해야만 하는게 뭐하자는거지 싶었음. 그리고 도착역 일림 설정 해놔도 알림 자체가 실행이 안됨. 일림 켜져있는데;; 그래도 다른 어플에 비해 열차 들어오는 시간은 꽤 잘 맞는 편이긴 함. 근데 이렇게 어플 만들어놓고 뭐가 불편한지 꾸준히 얘기 하는데도 끝까지 수정 안하는건 국민들이랑 기싸움 하는거임..??

Response from developer

안녕하세요. 또타 지하철앱 운영팀입니다. 먼저 이용에 불편을 드린 점 진심으로 사과드립니다. 현재 민원 접수는 앱 내 민원신고 탭에서 열차 칸 번호를 입력하신 후 신고하실 수 있습니다. 고객님께서 느끼신 아쉬움에 깊이 공감하며, 앞으로 보다 신뢰도 높은 정보를 제공할 수 있도록 지속적으로 개선해 나가겠습니다. 다시 한번 불편을 드린 점 양해 부탁드리며, 소중한 의견에 감사드립니다. 감사합니다.
