I really love this app! I had this other map before that didn’t get improving info as quick as this app. But, there are improvements I could suggest: 1. You should include the new extensions and lines, like Lines 5, 10, 13 and 14 and say “Under Construction” next to the extended bit and highlight the extensions in progress in grey, so people know what easier routes they could plan in the future. 2. You should highlight the Park Stations in green (Jinjiang Park in yellow), the Railway Stations in grey, and the Airports in bold black. You should also change the shape for virtual interchange stations, e.g. Longhua (Line 11, 12) is a square shape instead of an oval shape. 3. You should create a map for every station (If not, just the popular ones) that has things like Lifts, Ticket Machines, Stairs, Toilets, obviously exits, and Escalators and there could be an up or down arrow on them showing if they go up or down. 4. You should adjust the river on the map a bit, without having to stretch out lines like Line 11 (Longyao Rd. - Oriental Sports Center) and make the river split in two, going around Fuxing Island Station. (Line 12) 5. You should allow VIPs to suggest ideas on the app without having to type in their email, which is why I am suggesting here. Well, that’s all I have to say, but thank you for your hard work on this app and please consider at least one of my ideas ;)
I was in Shanghai and needed to get from Jiading to Pudong. I've never been on the Metro before, but this app seemed clear for route planning and gave estimated time and voice (and character) translation of the station stops. (Useful if you need to ask anyone where the station is.)When I used the app in Shanghai, the estimated times were spot on and the interactive map route was helpful since I started at a different station. I liked the app better than another "back up" metro app because it has zero pop up add. Space is key and I didn't like half my map space taken up by adverts. This map also has a light blue designation for the river, which was important because looking at a basic subway map, I didn't know if I was on the correct side of Shanghai. This was a little feature that helped me navigate.Highly recommend as a non Mandarin speaker to feel independent.Wish list: 1. closure times for specific lines (I ended up taking a taxi at a station because the line closed at 10pm.) 2. quick tutorial on single issue ticket purchase and how to scan/ deposit ticket at entry and exit.
We used this app all the time during our Shanghai trip, but the funny thing is the one time we didn't trust it, we were wrong. In Shanghai, some line transfers require you to leave the station to switch trains -- big inconvenience. The app said we should go out of our way two stops to switch, but I ignored it. Well, if we had done that then we wouldn't have had to leave the station in the rain! So download this app and just believe what it says when it tells you the best routes.
This application has been very helpful. The train map is current. So many of the maps you get with travel guides are outdated because of the subway systems continuous growth. I really like the street map or train map view. If you plan on traveling on the subway in Shanghai, this application will help you get around. The only complaint I have is the the find my location button stopped working on my iPad.
This is the only map you’ll need for Shanghai! Upgrade for $1.99 for the VIP version. It has pronunciations for each stop along with street maps in both Google and Apple with all the exit locations, and operating times! Best of all it can be used offline. Since I will only be using WiFi while there, this is a HUGE selling point for me. Couldn’t be happier with this app!
Excellent easy to use app. Gmaps often screws up or excludes metros in its directions in shanghai so this app is great paired with it. I often look up directions on gmaps, find the nearest subway and then use this app for a quick routing. Not a necessary app of course but it's well done and... What the heck just buy it it's the 21st century and you can have a digital map of the metro on your PHONE for 2 bucks!! Amazing times we live in.
