2/5I used to love this app
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!!

5/5Life saver
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

5/5necessity for traveling in korea
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.

1/5Missed opportunity
I have used this app for quite some time and recently came back to Korea only to find they have made some terrible changes to the English version. The only thing is English is the station name on the map and basic menu options. No longer can you get directions in English nor search in English. What is the point in having English as a language option if it doesn’t work fully? Even with the English version you need to know and understand Korean on a lower to intermediate level. Go find yourself a better app people.

I used to be inlove with this app because i can type in english and understand where to go to whatever station i need to go to but suddenly, i dont know if there was an update? Whenever i type in english it says no station. My settings was language set in english but now it wants me to type in korean :( i dont understand it now. Please bring the old update back
