Ratings and reviews

If you check my edit history this was originally 5 stars with a glowing review but as always they ruined their own app. Uninstalling and sticking with Google Maps which never has issues and always works. They messed up the app so IT NO LONGER SHOWS WHERE YOU ARE ON THE MAP in real time while trying to navigate to a place! Ruins the whole point of the app! 🤣🤡 Finishing my journey using Google Maps to track my progress with no issues and sticking with that app from now on.

super great navigation app! i was in seoul for only a week, and this app was such a lifesaver, helping me get around the subways, find museums/national monuments, and just explore my surroundings. if you don't know how to read hangul, then i'd recommend you find a different app that can translate things into english. but if you can read hangul and want to challenge your understanding, then this app is the best!! ^__^

It's okay but can't really be used on its own, even in Korean it seems to be pretty bad. For example, if you want to enter an address, even if you put the exact address or if you search really common things like "x station" it won't even give you the closest approximation. You have to use it in conjunction with another app. I was making do for a couple weeks in Jeju but it has no f*ng clue what to do in Seoul. Switching to another app to try my luck there.
