Deletes everything

This app is great, but….. it always deletes my saved train routes. I live and work in japan, and it’s very annoying when I look to see what train I can take, and it deletes ALL my saved routes. To the point I have to save them all over again. This has happened multiple times.

Amazing!

I’ve never been to Japan before, don’t speak Japanese. Planned my whole trip using this, paid for premium, it’s worth it!! Would not have been able to get around the subways without it.

Waste of Time

Haven’t been able to get it to work from day one! Deleted it and found something else.

Doesn’t work/ doesn’t have all stations.

I’m trying to use the Osaka subway route map and it “can’t find” any station I’m trying to search for. Useless!

Paywalling useful features

I used to love this app, but they’ve made some very questionable changes lately. Seeing the station list used to be free, now they’re making you pay for premium to look at it. I’ve also seen a bunch more popups bothering me to upgrade. I’ll be using a different app from now on.

Never found it useful

We traveled most of Japan and found google to be better. Navigation seemed hard and it didn’t seem to come up with interesting things to do. I struggled to find the right trains to get on and just gave up as it was easier in google. I found the app a waste of money. Shame I had high hopes. Third visit to Japan with rail pass and three kids.

Life-saver!

Just the free portions of this are worth 5 stars. The routing system is a must when traveling. The platforms, changes, and times were spot-on. This made a 2 week trek around Japan by rail east.

Broken garbage

Fails immediately. Continues to fail as you struggle to use it. Paid for upgrade but no upgrade was applied. Use google maps. It’s better and it’s free.

Great J-Pass

This is a great rail app for free. I was using the other japan official app but it wasn’t showing my JR trains effectively, so i switch to this one and gets my planned and reserved trains. You can use both if you need to but if you want a one and done than this app is it.
