Subway now — The app that tells you where your subway is, automatically
Tired of checking "Where am I now?", "How many stops left?", "Is it my stop yet?" every time you ride the subway?
Now Where uses GPS to find the station you're at right now, and stays with you all the way to your stop.
▶ Smart guidance the moment you step in
[Your current station, found for you]
No searching needed. The moment you open the app, GPS finds the nearest subway station and shows it right away.
[When's the next train?]
Real-time arrival info for Seoul Metro shows you exactly when the next train arrives — both directions, at a glance.
[Your destination, all sorted out]
Set where you're going and we'll show you the stops remaining, estimated travel time, and transfer details — all in one
clean view.
▶ We've got your back, so you won't miss it
[Transfer & arrival alerts]
A push notification with vibration goes off one stop before your transfer or your destination. Listening to music? Watching
videos? You won't miss your stop.
[Sleep mode]
Dozing off on the way home? Turn on Sleep Mode and we'll keep the alarm ringing until you get there.
[Lock Screen Live Activity]
Your current station, destination, and stops remaining show up live on your iPhone Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. You don't
even have to open the app.
▶ Extras that make it even easier
[Favorite stations]
Save the stations you use often — commute, regular meetup spots — and pull them up in a tap.
[All Seoul Metro lines covered]
Works on Seoul Metro Lines 1–9, plus Shinbundang, Gyeongui–Jungang, Airport Railroad, Suin–Bundang, and every other line in
the metropolitan area.
