Bait & Switch

At the time it possibly was a good app. Now it says support for Tokyo is discontinued and forces you to install a different app which has fewer features unless you purchase maps & miles.

Maybe other cities have better luck than Tokyo

Excellent

I believe I downloaded this app a couple of years ago and installed it for whatever reason, but it has been substantially improved! Simple and easy

Life saver

We used this app for Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. Easy to use and we would literally be lost without it. A must for any traveller to Japan. Lastly, the offline map is brilliant to locate the nearest station.

Very hard to use

This is a basic map of Tokyo rail lines but it does not have a key to the different lines by color and letter so is virtually impossible to use. I did use it as an adjunct to another map that did have the key as this shows the lines fairly clearly once you can figure out which is which. If you only want one map, don't bother with this one.

Shows not only the subway map

This is the fourth app I downloaded to help navigate my way the Tokyo metro transportation system. I deleted the rest and kept this one because it does show only the subway lines and stops but also shows the JR lines. This made it a lot easier to find my way without having to bug other commuters to ask for help. I couldn't find some stops with the other apps.
