Ratings and reviews

Good but could use more features. It tells you the arrival time for each train, but doesn't tell you which platform. Waited for the rapid train, but ended up watching it arrive at a different platform. I had to take the normal train in the end. Maybe optimize the train schedule to include which platform the train is arriving at. Otherwise good app.

This app does not seem to have an option to switch language. Not terribly useful if you aren't fluent in Korean. Edit after response: so you respond to my complaint about the app not being multilingual, by telling me in Korean, that the multilingual version should be coming soon. That doesn't really help the situation, though I do appreciate the fast feedback.

1. It would have been better if there was live station location tracking. 2. I think the live notifications are still missing. Bcoz today i was at a station line2 for 1hr and didn't know why there was no train. Then had to move to another subway line to travel.
