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.

Hello, this is Smarter Subway. After selecting a subway station, activate the "Real" toggle in the center-right to check real-time arrival information. (Metropolitan) After searching for a route, you can set an arrival reminder using the "Alarm" button at the bottom. Thank you.

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.

안녕하세요. 지하철 종결자입니다. 서비스 이용에 불편을 드려 죄송합니다. 현재 다국어 지원 기능을 기획 및 검토중에 있으며, 문의 내용을 담당 부서로 전달하여 빠른 시일 내로 개선될 수 있도록 노력하겠습니다. 앱 이용 중 궁금하신 점은 앱 설정의 [자주묻는질문] 혹은 [어플리케이션문의] 메뉴를 이용해주세요! 감사합니다.
