A SmartCity egy ingyenes OFFLINE menetrend megjelenítő és útvonaltervező alkalmazás, amely Budapest tömegközlekedési hálózatán segít a tájékozódásban. Segítségével könnyen tervezhetővé válik a tömegközlekedés a városon keresztül. Akár cím alapján az offline keresővel, akár az offline térképre hosszan nyomva kijelölhető az úticél és az alkalmazás megmutatja, hogy a BKK vonalait használva, hogyan lehet eljutni oda a legegyszerűbben. A gyors tervezésnek köszönhetően több alternatív útvonal közül is választhatsz. Ha elmentesz egy kedvenc úticélt, akkor az alkalmazás mindig megtervezi neked az odautat így már az alkalmazás elindításával megtudhatod, hogy hogyan juthatsz haza vagy a munkahelyedre.

Az alkalmazás fő funkciói:

• Modern, az elmúlt évek felhasználói visszajelzései alapján fejlesztett, könnyen használható felület.
• A járatok teljes menetrendje és útvonala, beleértve a buszokat, villamosokat, trolikat, metrókat, éjszakai járatokat és a HÉV-et. A menetrendi információkat a publikusan elérhető hivatalos BKK GTFS adatokból nyerjük.
• Offline térkép OpenStreetMap adatbázissal.
• Tervezett útvonalak megjelenítése járműtípusokkal és átszállásokkal, valamint egyes járatok útvonalának bemutatása megállókkal.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-01-18, version 2.2.4*

The server doesn’t connect to the server. I can’t use it.

### 1/5 — Not working anymore

*2022-12-04, version 2.2.4*

The app was working perfectly untill couple of days ago. The only suggestion it gives now is to walk everywhere and says no public transport operates. 
Can it be fixed?
Was the best public transport app and extremely usefull. Would be a shame to loose this app.

### 4/5 — Ez az app kimúlt

*2022-03-05, version 2.2.4*

2022. február 5-e óta nem frissül az adatbázis, március 4-e óta nem működik a tervezés (iOS-en).
Kár érte, jó kis offline progi volt…
Béke poraira 😥

### 1/5 — Sh1t program

*2020-02-12, version 2.2.4*

Im miss the bus for the 5th time..... 2 min and 45 sec left and the bus is going.

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-11-27, version 2.2.4*

This app helped us to explore Budapest!!!

### 5/5 — App

*2019-07-01, version 2.2.4*

Great app! I’ve been using this since my first iphone.
 
5*

### 5/5 — Love it

*2019-03-31, version 2.2.4*

I’ve been using it for approx 4 years now. More precise than the official pdf based schedule. When the schedule says in the bus stop “7-8 mins” sometimes, this app always tells the exact minute, and it works always. No big storage or huge internet use, thank you for the frequent updates!

### 4/5 — Très, TRÈS utile

*2019-03-04, version 2.2.4*

Super app, cela nous a permis de nous déplacer avec une grande facilité sans difficulté, un gain de temps considérable. Petit bémol car il faut le coupler avec une appli de plan pour trouver les arrêts (plan de l’appli sans détection GPS)

### 5/5 — Amazing - I can't emphasise enough!

*2017-11-27, version 2.2.3*

I lived in Hungary for 9 months and would have been so lost without this app. It is bloody amazing - it works offline and gives details of public transport, as well as walking. If you don't know the address of where you're going, just make sure to look it up when you have internet, then put it in and you're ready to go! Can also change the date and time you want to travel, so as to plan ahead.

### 1/5 — Planning option doesn't work

*2017-10-26, version 2.2.3*

And it doesn't know places only exact addresses.
