Pros and cons of Subway in Korea app for iPhone and iPad

Subway in Korea app good for

This is a simple and extremely useful application. Ive never had any trouble with it. You simply click on the departing station, then the arriving station, and it tells you how long itll be. Its got a great map that is zoomable. No problems at all. Ive been using it for over a month.
I used to always carry the KT foldable subway map. Once I put this on my iPhone, I didnt need the map anymore. My only complaint is that the map is blurry when zoomed in. A higher resolution or vector graphic map would be greatly appreciated. Well worth the $3.00
I have had this app for a month or so. I do like it. Its nothing fancy and it gets the job done. I do like the trip settings but the format of how it shows it to you is not that great. I am not sure it the times that it quotes are between stations or if that is the time between transfers. It needs to be easier to read while on the subway which includes the spacing and what information is displayed, maybe a larger font. On my Korean cell phone the map has an icon that visually follows the path for you to see. I think that would be a nice addition. Also I wish it would allows you to set a home station so that you can always select that departure station station and then set your arrival point in addition to being able to save your trips for future use or review while your on your trip. It is a good application and does get the job done. Thank you for making it. I do prefer this app to my antiquated/ used Korean cell phone subway map mainly because its bigger and easier to navigate.
This app works pretty well, there is a pretty comprehensive map where you can select departure and arrival stations and it will plan out the best route for you, and approximately how long it should take. If there was something I could add to it, maybe on a future update, I would want to be able to look at time tables on it, so I know when the train is going to be at the station or the train that will be going my direction.... for instance, on line 1, if you are around seoul, you can catch a train that will head towards incheon, or cheonan, it would be helpful ahead of time to know which train was going to be going my way, instead of waiting on the platform to see the sign on the side of the train. (I find the charts on the platform difficult to read, from a foreigners point of view.
Pretty good program. I have been using it in Seoul for a couple of months. I would rate it 5 stars if each stop # was available in the Station Informatio details. To navigate the subway effectively in Seoul a person needs to know the Line # (or color), the stop # (or stop name. # is easier for expats), and the exit from the subway #. I would also like a way to make notes for each stop or create a route. Thanks
I liked the free version of this. I got the free one to try out and see what it was like. Anyway, I upgraded half-way expecting to get a lot of detailed "station information" like what times the train would come, highlighted routes, ability to make common routes.... all the things the other reviewers mentioned. Basically for paying for the upgrade, what I got was information concerning how long it takes to get from point A to point B (which is basically 2 minutes per stop and 5 per transfer). I could have done that in my head. I really hope in the future that updates will contain more functionality. As it is, it is still a nice map for different cities, but a little basic compared to what most new Korean cell phones offer, and not that much more compared to the free version considering the price.

Some bad moments

I have paid and downloaded, but the application was a Lite Version. Why?
says will zoom. i bought it for as a result of this feature. will not zoom. looked at website which says this is a "future" feature. weak.
I should have got the "lite" App first since it was free just so I could check it out but I paid $2.99 for this one because I was in a hurry. All this App is, is a picture of a Korean subway map. When you try to zoom in to a particular station the picture pixalates, because the resolution of the map is horrible. The arrival times are just plan wrong and unless you know where you are going (but if you did why would you need this App?) this is not very useful at all. I took one trip using this and came home and deleted it. These guys are lucky that I cant request a refund! A much better App i found that same day is "Seoul City Metro". Its a yellow sign with a train in a circle. That App is Awesome, this one is Crap. Save your money.
Please dont waste $2.99 on this app like I did. There is an app called "Jihachul, Korea Subway Route Map" that is free and FAR better than this. I wish I had found it before wasting my money.
