| 2024-11-08 |  | | Can not search the name for station in English. |
| 2024-10-05 |  | | This app used to be the go to app when using Seoul metro. But it only displays Korean now 🫣 |
| 2024-08-16 |  | | Even though I have selected English, the App does not allow search for stations in English; can only search in Korean. |
| 2024-06-30 |  | | I want to say this is fake English app. The English translation station name is displayed on the map screen, but the Korean name is displayed on the detailed page. The worst part was that I was already heading to my destination. But it kept reminding me of the boarding time at the original departure station. If you want to know updated information, you must manually search for points a and b again. |
| 2024-03-30 |  | | The only problem is that the station names in the route track are written only in korean. I like searching the stations from the map, but sometimest it might help to write the names in English. Otherwise the best metro map program I have ever seen |
| 2023-07-15 |  | | About 9/10 times when I'm going anywhere involving Guro the train station this app does not tell me to swap if I need to and I keep ending up on the other side of Korea when I'm just trying to get home. It's also Barely use able in English. Do not recommend at all. |
| 2023-05-22 |  | | Slightly practical app, you can bookmark favourite stations. However missing subway station numbers, navigation instruction only in Hangul (map is Latin). How do I know on which side of the platform to stand on? |
| 2022-07-06 |  | | After update, the app does not work offline anymore and English isn't available when you search a route...so useless for foreigners/travellers But for all who have internet all time and at least can read korean the app isn't bad |
| 2022-05-28 |  | | It was working just as I need. But from last few weeks, the app stopped showing results when i search in english. I double checked that all the language settings are set to english. |
| 2022-05-17 |  | | No longer offers English. Seems like an easy fix since before the most recent update it offered English. However, it has been several weeks and still no fix. They could just roll it back until they fix the update patch. |
