  • …Just Get It

    If you’re going to be taking trains in Japan… just get this app. This is probably my first time writing a review, but I just had to get the word out that this is legitimately a bible for travel in Japan. I did not close this app like once my whole trip! It isn’t perfect, but it’s extremely practical and I would have never gotten through Tokyo without it. It was almost entirely accurate, with only a couple cases where it left me a bit confused, and even then it’s what saved me from that confusion itself every time. Some advice: Use the screenshot feature for every route you plan. I have roaming data but it still cut out in some places so you have to have things saved to access them at any point! Also, I liked to use this in conjunction with Google Maps for the walking routes since the path from this app was a bit hard to read for me. There are plenty of other features on this app that I’m sure other reviewers will talk about, but I’m just so grateful for this app’s help with trains and I think it’s a no-brainer to install it.
  • Amazing App for Japan

    This is the first time I’ve ever rated an app and this ones definitely worth it. I was nervous about traveling in Japan without speaking the language knowing most transportation is bus or train, this app made it so stress free. Easy to use, super accurate with timetables, could not have had a better app for travel. 10/10 recommend for traveling in Japan.
  • Purchase problems

    Purchased app took 10 days for charge to occur . Contacted company via email multiple times no response. Never received code to use premium service even though app was purchased. App wants me to pay again to use subscription service. Apple shows I have paid but app can’t figure that out keeps wanting me to pay again for premium service.

    Doesn’t give enough information in real time. Previous app (that was free) was SO much better.
  • Abundance of Greed

    By SpwinJapan
    The developer’s greed shines through in this app. First of all, it’s bloody expensive for what you get. Second, only one user can be logged in at a time. So my wife and I would both have to be WAY over charged for both of us to use this mediocre app. I miss Hyperdia. It was far superior and free. I don’t see a bright future for this greedy app.
  • Super Useful!

    I have used the app to help determine which trains to take in my travels across Japan. The information is very accurate and I have no problem calculating the fare to pay that can be especially confusing when looking at the station boards. It also allows the user to select the route based on individual preferences (time, cost, method). Useful for both intercity and urban city train travel. Can’t recommend it enough!
  • ticket booking service is a SCAM

    don't try your luck to book a ticket via the booking service in the app. they charge you ~20% for "admin fees" while it's not even an automated e-ticket. you have to wait for a HUMAN coming back to office and only available at working hours. what a joke as an "online" service in 2024. Instead, the best option is actually to buy one at the JR station.
  • Useful for finding trains, useless for booking tickets with rail pass

    Pretty much as per title. I’ve paid for the Premium version and have a Japan Rail Pass, but it still wants to charge me for tickets when I go to book them. I have chosen routes that are included free with the rail pass.
  • Not as useful as expected

    It wasn’t user friendly. I ended up using Google maps the whole trip.
