### 1/5 — サブスクリプション終了？

*2026-06-12*

iOSのサブスクリプションのページで見ると、5月1日でサブスクリプションが終了したと表示されますが、アプリやサイト上ではそのようなアナウンスは一切されていないようです。
アプリ上では、アップグレードをタップするとエラーメッセージが表示されます。
問い合わせをしても、一切反応がなく、カスタマーサポートが機能していません。
それなのに、日々のニュース記事だけは更新されます。
アプリ自体は非常に使いやすいと思っていただけに、このようないい加減な対応は極めて残念です。
ちなみに、広告を閲覧して他国の路線図を見ようとすると、アプリが落ちて、日本以外の路線図は見れない状況です。

### 1/5 — No subscription plans. No reply from emails. Scam ads

*2026-06-11, version 8.8.1*

The app has in-app purchases but it doesn't list them so you can't buy them, meaning you have to put up with ads which are very scammy telling you that your computer is infected and to pay them money to fix it, etc. 
Also I have to disable Location Services otherwise the app crashes every time I open it.

### 2/5 — Need to disable Location Services to stop app crashing

*2026-02-20, version 8.8.1*

For a few weeks every time I opened the app it crashed, on both my iPad Air 4 and iPhone 14 Pro Max.  I contacted their support but received no reply. I noticed it was crashing after saying "Getting the present location", so I tried disabling Location Services and the app actually worked. No idea if this problem is due to a change in the app or with iOS. I am not currently in Japan so I don't know if that is causing a problem (though I have used the program for years without issues).

### 2/5 — 前のに戻してほしい。

*2025-11-14*

前の日本地図に線路が乗ったやつに戻ってほしい。あとスクロールで地域切り替えしないといけないのも本当にめんどくさい。路線図なんて遠くに行く時にしか使わないんだから地方ごとに分けるのは本当に不便。
せめて切り替えできるようにしてほしい。

### 4/5 — Great app but needs some updates

*2025-11-04, version 8.7.0*

Really enjoy the maps but some missing lines and stations for the UK. Would be great if some other countries with complex networks could be added - Netherlands, Switzerland for example.

### 5/5 — 업데이트 필요

*2025-10-24*

최근에 대한민국의 국가 철도에 임성리역과 신보성역을 잇는 목포보성선이 개통되었습니다. 추가해주시길 바랍니다.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-08-20*

Added ADs!? For what? When your on the move and then going through the ads is extremely frustrating. I would rather work with other free apps than this.

### 3/5 — 最新アプデで

*2025-03-11*

地区ごとの切り替えが無くなって、とても使いやすくなりました。ただ、開く度に表示方法を切り替えていくという表示が一瞬ではありますが出るようになってしまったので、それが無くなれば最高です。とは言え、無料でここまで使わせて貰えてるのはありがたいです。

### 2/5 — タイル方式に関する改善要望

*2025-01-19*

東京や大阪などの複数の路線や駅が入り乱れる大都市において、指2本で画面を引き延ばす様に広げないと表示されない駅が多数ありました。しかも指を離すと画面の拡大が解除され、再び表示されなくなり、非常に使いづらいです。
単独駅ならまだしも乗換可能駅まで表示されないのは、如何なものかと。。。
乗換路線図であることをうたうのであれば、実際の縮尺と合わせる必要は一切ないはずです。鉄道事業者が作成する路線図が良い例です。
厳しい言葉ですが、利便性は大幅に低下したというのが、正直な感想です。
非常に残念ですが、運営の方に伝わり、改善されることを望みます。

主な駅
【東京】
京橋駅、三越前駅、仲御徒町駅、宝町駅、東銀座駅など多数

【大阪】
肥後橋駅、渡辺橋駅、大阪ビジネスパーク駅、近鉄日本橋駅、四天王寺夕陽ヶ丘駅、いまざとライナー全区間など

### 1/5 — もはや乗換路線図では無い

*2024-12-29*

設定すれば旧版が暫定で残るとあるので、まだ使いますが、旧版が廃止されたら、単なる鉄道路線しか分からない地図なので意味がなく、乗換路線図では無い以上アプリ削除すると思います。ユーザーがいなくなって良いと運営側が選択したことなので、仕方がありませんね。 もともとの開発者が運営側にいなくなったんですかね。

追記：懸命にアップデートしているようですが、ユーザーが求めている「本質」はそういうことじゃないです。アプリ名称どおりの「乗換路線図」に戻してくれとみな言っているのです。
