I just wish the set home and work links could be removable. If our location shows our exact home address we are giving information to anyone who might steal our phones and not everyone works. It should just be a set our places section. We could put our home address under something other than home and add in other places that are specific to us.

Like this app, totally different,efficient, full with information( live on maps with moving buses n everystop info on tap) from other London buses tfl apps and includes different cities.If it's possible to save any page as the initial page as we click this app like for London buses it opens straight to the saved London buses page then there is no reason it should't get five star.The best ever app for best phone HTC one .Really sharp light green colour in the begining,format and animations well suited with HTC one.London night bus maps includ tube n day bus maps on front page.The way Railway timings and animations or signs with station information n colour scheme used are awesome and easier to change stations .The amount of information this app gives is unbelievable.

Indispensable for London. Only downside is the walking mode for previous versions isn't that great.

Lauren Taylor

Used this app for years, has never let me down!

Love the app. It cannot compare to other transport apps. My only issue is whenever I open the app, the map resets to Westminster which means I need to turn on my location to have my saved stops in a certain order. In previous versions of this app, it always saved the last known location when reopening. Why can't this feature be implemented in the next update. I'm not a fan of constantly putting on my location just to have my saved stops appear in a certain order Apart from that, I still love the app

Patty Kain

Uninstalling until it improves I hope. I think this is a phenomenal idea. It says you can vote for your city, but only can choose from a scroll down menu of preselected options. Should be able to suggest your city. What certain cities are not privileged enough to use this app. I live in Niagara Falls N.Y. it's a big tourist attraction.

I primarily use this app in London and I honestly don't know what I'd do without it. Probably the most useful app on my phone. I've used it in Edinburgh and New York as well and it's so helpful. The new 'go' feature that tracks your journey and let's you know when it's nearly time to get off the train is particularly useful for me on my commute home from work where I get off before the last stop. It pops up on my screen and also makes the phone vibrate, which for someone who is engrossed on their phone helps as you don't need to keep checking where you are.

Gregory Allam 4 July 2017

Adding stops could be easier. Needs to have a search function on the map. Needs a way of adding saved stops by searching for them via a search bar. This could be a search bar on the map or a search bar specifically for the saved stops section. Currently I have to search for a bus route and then select the stop from the list of stops in the route to save it. Also needs option of rearranging saved stops. Also, would be useful to see live bus times further into the future (currently only shows next one or two buses). ~~Finally, would be helpful to have the option for the app to open directly to the saved stops section (or any of the sections for that matter) at startup.~~ Edit: you've got rid of the saved stops section on the home screen. Whyyyy?

Citymapper Limited 4 July 2017

Hi Gregory, thx for writing in. Yes sorry, that's a bug, saved stops disappear if you have location disabled. Will be fixed in next update. But in the meantime you can also use the 'yellow star' at the top-left of the homescreen to access your saved stops. Thx! Gil

Omar J 20 July 2017

The best app on this planet. However would be good if you can 1. click a station on a tube map and see real time departure times. 2. Have a widget which allows us to see the bus times for various bus stops just like UK bus checker app widget. 3. Maybe build nearest atm and toilets to further facilitate the app. 4. A widget for tube line status is a MUST! 5.a widget for train times is also a must e.g national rail train from Stratford to Tottenham Hale displaying the next 4 train times. Click on it to refresh the times. 6. Integration with Google calendar so we can tap on an event and it will initiate the route. 7. Declutter the app a little like option to remove tweets displayed in the app etc. 8. Offline map (save to sd card) we have lots of space in our sd cards not internal so why not use it up to be productive when travelling. I hope the team at city mapper look into this. Your doing good, you should work alongside the government or tfl..

paul limpert 25 June 2017

My wife and I just returned from our first trip to New York and this app absolutely saved us a ton of time and stress. It worked flawlessly throughout the trip getting us around town without a glitch by subway, bus and on foot to wherever we asked it to take us. I was totally paranoid about getting lost in NYC but not once did this app let us down. Could not be more happy with it.

3 July 2017

Love this, has saved me from getting lost and arriving late so many times. However the commute alerts are designed especially for people in full time jobs with regular hours. National rail has an option of adjusting days and times so you guys should copy that! Edit: since my Huawei P9 updated a few days ago my commute alerts don't work anymore. It used to start about an hour before I had to leave, now nothing. What's up?

Citymapper Limited 19 April 2017

Hi, thanks for the feedback. You can set commute times and days though, just tap the triple dot next to your commute on the homescreen, then 'Set time'. Let me know, thx!

Isaac Phillips 4 July 2017

Found out about this app while overseas. It was SO helpful in getting us where we wanted to go and offering a map to help us finish the walk to it. If you travel to big cities and use the public transport system, get this.

Dominique Marshall 27 June 2017

**EDIT JUNE 2017** So being able to personalise the homescreen has been added, but now I can't see my saved bus stops unless I have my location turned on?? I shouldn't need to have it turned on if the stops are already saved. There was also no explanation on this in the update changes. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! **** There's too much scrolling to do to find the information I need, whereas before all I had to do was tap the buttons at the top. I also can't see a way to rearrange the homescreen to view the sections I need the most at the top. Please change back citymapper!!

Citymapper Limited 28 June 2017

Hi Dominique, thanks for writing in. Yes, sorry, this is a bug and will be fixed in next update. In the meantime, you can also use the 'yellow star' on the top-left to access your saved stops. Let me know if that helped, thanks! Gil

Anna Kashtanova 10 July 2017

I have no idea whats happened but last months Citymapper has totally messed with trip duration in London. Trips take much less time then Citymapper shows recently. Now I had to use google maps to know trips duration because its more accurate.

Siew San Lim 14 July 2017

Great! Used it while travelling in Seoul recently. Liked that the app will vibrate to notify you when u r reaching your stop. Gps was not really accurate, hence had some difficulty finding the bus stops, but that could be my phone's problem.

Rajesh Cherukuri 8 July 2017

A must-have app that will show you the way to your destination like a human being instead of just simply spitting out options. It is super simple and very friendly to use, it's simply the best navigation app available.

Nick Tsakonas 28 June 2017

Use it everyday in London to move around.The suggested trips are very accurate in duration and pricing.It competes a bit with Google maps but has the advantage of price tags.I like it a lot! update: I upgraded yesterday to the latest version and all my saved placed and bus stops were removed.I am pissed and angry and i am giving 1 star review for not paying attention to these details.

Citymapper Limited 28 June 2017

Hi Nick, thanks for writing in. Yes, sorry, this is a bug which happens when you have your location turned off. If you turn on location the saved stops will appear again.

O Med 8 July 2017

I have a very poor sense of direction and have AWFUL memory when it comes to routes and what bus/metro directions to take—and even worse when it comes to getting off at the right stop (seriously, it's normal for me to miss it by about six). Citymapper has made that all moot for me! If you need it just to go over potential routes, it's great for that. And if you need it to hold your hand through a commute, it's great for that, too lol. ALSO (hugely important perk!), it has transit lines that Google DOESN'T.

Tanja Jonid 20 July 2017

Navigated London & Singapore like a pro! Better than the locals even. Now if only they had this for Kuala Lumpur where even the locals can't navigate through public transport easily...

Pradeep Inani 6 July 2017

Best in its class. Worked like charm in saint Petersburg and Moscow. Please incorporate feature to translate metro station and bus stops name in language of your choice. Local language is also needed because in ground the signage is in local language. Best example of transformation of dream idea to reality.

Ekansh Bansal 9 July 2017

This is one of the best apps I have come across with an erie detail of possible ways to use public transport across a city. It truly thinks ! :D The best part is it takes routes offline in a very informative way once searched and star marked. Becomes very handy even if you do not have an active internet connection

James Smith 19 July 2017

Absolutely great! Love the design and the functions, very user friendly! I just wouldn't know what to do without Citymapper, probably the most important app I have! More cities would be lovely! Carry on like that, I love it!

Erica Ortiz 13 July 2017

I'm obssessed. I've been in NY for almost ten years, but when I moved I needed assistance with the NJ Transit and this was far better than their app!

Adam Z 23 June 2017

Cannot search by the stop number which is shown on every London bus stop!! London version insists on using "inner rail" & "outer rail" to refer to the platforms at stations like Paddington. This is not helpful as the platforms are not signed that way. Also the terms only apply to the Circle line. But worst of all, the terms are used the wrong way round!! Have reported this many times to no avail. Please fix and stop confusing your users.

Citymapper Limited 31 March 2017

Hi Adam, looking into this, thanks for the note.

25 June 2017

Unfortunately after this new update the main UI changed again. The list of my saved stops is no longer available and I have to mess around the app to find when my usual buses arrive. This change on the interface was not welcomed at all. This is a 5* app that I am sorry to mark it as 2* because you keep changing the interface.

Citymapper Limited 25 June 2017

Hi, thanks for writing in. Yes, sorry, this is a bug which happens when you have your location turned off. If you turn on location the saved stops will appear again. Also, you can use the 'yellow star' on the top-left to access your favorites. In any case, the bug will be fixed in next update. Let me know if that helped, thanks! Gil

mica grace ocampo 18 July 2017

This app is very useful. However there are times when trains are delayed or routes are changed and it's not giving me the latest updates. Please improve on this. Otherwise, this app is good.

No thanks 7 July 2017

It's brilliant. One gripe is that it doesn't have enough cities. If they had the details for Bristol, it would be phenomenal

Andrej Z 16 July 2017

Fantastic travel app, gives you updates, e.g. delays on the tube, or bus diversions. TO DEVELOPERS - Please add an option to customise suggested routes to my specific route, like make it so that you can change which stop you get off at.

Amanda Platt 8 July 2017

I'm not able to find a way of using lyft through the app. I can only find uber on it. I will update my rating once there is a solution to this problem.

Epic SnowChicken 25 June 2017

Absolutely amazing! It has everything I need for my daily commute: train lines, buses, tube and more! Would definitely recommend to anyone who goes to places they don't know well and for work. It's a must get!

James B 22 June 2017

I once paid for a transport app and the developer stopped working on the app 2 years later. This app by far is the best I've used. Keep up the good work.

Vikram Virk 16 July 2017

Absolutely amazing app, loved it, saved me lot of time and tension during my London trip. This is kind of app which really helps you in daily life. A must have, keep up the hard work and add more cities. Maybe one day New Delhi as well. Thanks again for building this and keeping it free.

Benjamin E.Sentinel 14 July 2017

For Singapore, more often than not, it does not show some direct routes like a single bus trip but shows routes with 2 or even 3 connections with time savings of perhaps a few minutes.

Michael 29 June 2017

This app is fantastic, the only problem I've had so far is when planning a trip the walking metrics are a bit slow. I have found many times I can take an earliar train then what is listed on the app. Perhaps an option to adjust for faster/slower walkers?

Zac deBethizy 30 June 2017

This is an incredible app for cities. They have thought of all aspects to cover getting places and commuting. It uses current data to offer up to the minute timing for public transit. Awesome app.

gina fulton 13 July 2017

Besr public city transport app for both local metro, Marc, and Amtrak trains as well as detailed stop maps for baltimore, DC and more. I can easily schedule my trips in advance before heading to the station too early. Only downside is, there is no automatic update for train delays

Jeremy Abramson 22 June 2017

With the new version, on the home screen, my favorite stops Disappears, unless the GPS is turned on ,Then my favorite stops reappears appeared unless it turn the GPS on

Citymapper Limited 22 June 2017

Hey Jeremy, thanks for the note. Do you mean the saved stops on the top-left (the yellow star on a stick icon) or do you mean the 'Saved Stops' card? Would be great if you could send a screenshot of your homescreen and more details of what's missing to support@citymapper.com. Keen to get to the bottom of this! Thanks for your help! Gil

Jeffrey Wu 28 June 2017

Very useful apps, but with location svc off, how come now days "saved stops" didn't show on home screen? when svc turn on it show.

Citymapper Limited 29 June 2017

Hi Jeffrey, thx for writing in. Yes, sorry, that's a bug, will be fixed in next update. In the meantime you can also use the "yellow star" at the top-left of the homescreen to see your saved stops. Let me know if that helped, thanks. Gil

Yann B 7 July 2017

Since the latest update I can't see my saved bus stops arrival times anymore!

OmuWithFrunze 23 June 2017

after last update i will not use it anymore. you removed the favorite section from main page.

Citymapper Limited 23 June 2017

Hi, thanks for writing in. Yes, sorry, this is a bug which happens when you have your location turned off. If you turn on location the favorites section will appear again.
