Prepare for your next trip across Oslo, from Jernbanetorget and the city centre to the neighbourhoods beyond. PLAN YOUR CONNECTIONS Choose an origin and destination, select metro, tram, rail, ferry or bus, and review a suggested itinerary. The planner uses published timetables after they have downloaded, so you can prepare routes offline. Scheduled times are not live predictions. Live information does not automatically change an offline itinerary.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Oslo Metro & City Guide at none against Norgeskart's 3. Norgeskart's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
