I used to love this app and used it all the time while I lived in Korea a little over a year ago. It literally allowed me to explore the country and fall in love with it. I came back recently for a visit and found that this app no longer supports English like it used to. I don’t know why the powers that be decided to make this change, but it’s a real bummer. Please bring the ability to search stations in English back!!

used this almost every day for when i traveled from around seoul this summer, always accurate, easy to find routes and times, you can search stations but i don’t find it necessary to👍 like how it shows you the first train and last train of the day and shows you which routes are fastest or have least transfers. never had any issues with the app. and to any tourists keep in mind travel in korea in general will likely be difficult if you don’t even try to learn hangul before going, korea is not a very english speaking country still. stops have both the korean and english spelling listed so it’s still possible to navigate without knowing korean.

As a foreigner who was studying in Korea for 4 months and couldn’t speak or understand Korean fluently, this app saved me and all my friends lives. It made traveling so easy. I wish we had this in New York City. It tell you everything you need to know about how many stops and where to go in the subway station. Very easy to figure out. I was traveling on my own everyday and was never worried. I highly highly recommend this. I’m not sure why it has such a low rating. This app is such a life saver
