Ratings and Reviews
Essential travel app in South Korea
Suggest app developer partner with Papago to translate Korean to English in app to improve overall user experience, it’s also easy for Koreans to communicate with their foreign friends
Subway map not working, limited English
The subway map search is not English friendly. Initially I thought it’s my spelling mistake but in the end I found out that it doesn’t recognise alphabets at all. Also if you manage to find the restaurant’s English name on Google and try to input it into this app, it doesn’t work too. Need to use alternately to manually copy and paste the Korean characters from Google. Even so, it only works 50% of the time.
It would be good to add simple English to the maps. E.g. for subway, to use “est. arrival”, “next train”. It would be good to add estimated travelling time when we input the 2 subway stations too.
Very, very helpful
I always use this app whenever i’m in Seoul. Getting around via bus has never been easier. It’s so convenient 5 stars isn’t enough 🤩
