MetrO App Reviews

Traveled in Paris for the first time and never got lost once with this app. Use in combination with map to locate Metro stations you are traveling to/from. This app lists the end stations, which are a must to get on the right train going in the right direction, then just exit at your stop. You will save time/money using this app. Only 1.70 euro one way on local metro trains.

As stated by others App needs clear instruction and explanation of icons, routes, etc The app is so bad for my own city (nyc) to figure it out, cant imagine it in Tokyo or any where else where english is not main language .. Needs serious re-write

No need for a data connection makes this app invaluable! I use it in various places where Internet access isnt available. I just punch in my current subway or train station and where I need to go and this app always delivers. Many cities are available; this also a huge asset. Once you are familiar with the interface youll never need another app for transit directions.

I use this app when I explore Japan. Easy and convenient to use. I recommend!

Trying to use it to plan a trip from the airport to my hotel. Except I have absolutely no idea how to find the airport as a starting point in this app. I typed in every variation of "airport", and its name I could think of, but It just doesnt exist in his app. I could also try selecting it on a map ... Except there is no map. This app is completely unusable.

This really helped me in Paris.... I even helped a lot if others with it. The only thing was I had to learn to shut off bus options since I didnt want that. But once I figured that out, smooth sailing.

Not a god sign that it hasnt been upgraded since fall of 2013. I think the developer gave up on it rather than fix its myriad problems. Bad interface, no instructions, just plain worthless. Ive been trying to plan a route between Seattle Airport and down town and the app keeps giving me an error message that the starting point, the airport, is closed. Ummm... might want to tell that to the 10 planes that have landed since I started trying to use this app. Removing it from my phone as soon as I send this review.

I have traveled tons internationally but this app rocked my world. Amazingly simple app that changed everything. You will never get lost with app! Stop looking like a noob and a tourist, starring at maps and DL this app!

this is hands down the best app I have ever used. I am currently traveling abroad and this app has been an absolute god-send. You dont need wifi to use it, you just need to know your point A and point B. Let me repeat: YOU DONT EVEN NEED SERVICE TO USE THIS APP! This is amazingly helpful when traveling abroad without phone use, or when underground and without service. If you do have service, you can have it find your current location and it will direct you to the nearest station. In large cities, like London or Paris, your "point A/B" could even be a monument/landmark, so you dont have to figure out which stop is the closest. It tells you which train to take and which direction and where to change to a different line. It will give you different routes, which one is the fastest, or which has less changes, and you can tap on the specific train to see how many stops it is. It takes a few minutes to figure out how it works and what all the symbols mean, but once you do, its so so so amazing. I seriously cannot endorse this app enough.

This is a must-have for anyone who travels & uses public transportation. Ive been using it since it was only available for Palm products.

This app is confusing. Also it does not give any time tables. Also, the estimated time does not seem to be accurate.

Helpful to find the nearest train, direction to head and where to change. Just remember to sync the maps to avoid need for data. Great port of an equally useful Palm Pilot application.

Even though the user interface isnt the latest, this little perfect app is very powerful and smart. Ive forgot for how many years and all the destinations in which this simple app saved my life! Going from A to B in a strange city havent been easier thanks to this amazing team that updates the maps very often!!!

I wish the San Francisco database included the entire AC transit, SamTrans, County Connections, VTA, Muni, and Shuttle services! Once those are added (along with departure times from the Caltrain schedule), it earns 5/5 stars, and gets my recommendation to Caltrain staff!

Its the Best ..

Recently, when I tried planning a trip between Bart and Caltrain, it would specify that all Caltrain stops were closed in the middle of the day in a Friday...? What is with that? Its also missing most of the muni system, and its not as useful as before because it refused to open when I was not online, so I couldnt use it! Please fix as soon as you can!

Been using a version of app for years, way before there was an iPhone with apps. Has never let me down, there is plenty of cities covered, and the price us unbeatable!

Ive been using this app for ages and absolutely love it! Having one app that helps me navigate metro systems all over the world is fantastic. Ive used it all over Asia and Europe and it has never failed me. If you travel a lot, you need this app!

In short, Metro has helpful transit information on a lot of cities worldwide. I used this in 4 cities in Europe and I am really glad I had this. Sure, maybe there are some stops missing from here but still, if you dont have an internet connection or you want to save data while traveling, this app is for you. Tip: you need to know the stop name in order to make use of this (unless the stop is a landmark). I used an offline map app (also free) with public transport stops to look up the stop names.

Get this app! Just returned from 9 days in Paris. The citys metro system goes almost everywhere in the city. This app made using the Paris metro a snap. Absolutely a vacation necessity.
