City Rail Map - Travel Offline Reviews

by Xgh

Apple and Google Maps do a much better job with transit, are easier to use and are free.

With City Rail Map:
There is no attempt to show the next train as there are no schedules.
There are no addresses for train stations, though there is a small map which does not indicate your location.
There is no way to purchase tickets.
It costs $4.99 to unlock one city. The above are free.

I do not understand the rating CityRailMap gets. Apple and Google Maps are free, apps from the transit companies are free and far more functional (schedules, ticketing).

They only give one map free which is fine. However they don’t warn you about it first. So I unlocked one map (Hiroshima) without knowing it’s my only free one. But I’d much rather have Tokyo which I am visiting first before deciding to buy any others.

Unfortunately there’s no way to undo my selection and there’s no upfront warning that you only get one free selection, so that’s why I’m giving this a low rating.

This application does not show subway exits on their map, nor is it responsive in selecting a station for review. I had to keep poking around for quite a while to get any reaction.
Frankly, this software is a rip-off - I can not recommend it.

CityRailMap used to have important maps for free. Now they’re charging you for every map you need/want except one. I’m a traveler around Japan and the world and find it very useful but not anymore. You’re probably better off using Apple Maps because they have train routes all over the place now.

Otherwise you have to pay. That isn’t any better than downloading individual metro maps for free.

There are inappropriate ads that appear along the top banner. How can CityRailMap be approved for ages 4+? I was about to recommend that my teen download CityRailMap for an upcoming trip but since you’re not paying attention to the content of the ads I won’t be recommending it to anyone.

The route making is very mechanical. You should be able to use the train map to create your route just by tapping on the stations. Also, CityRailMap lacks information on what gates to take, what floor or platform number to go to.

Would consider buying if it had bus maps too. Also, it is unclear whether maps are kept updated in line with changes in official maps.

Not very user friendly, had to use to apps to get where I was going. Gonna keep trying again, until make final assessment.

Really loved being able to use CityRailMap to look at maps and especially plan routes on my trip while my phone had no regular cell service! I wish I had known in advance that only one map could be unlocked for free.

I have it four stars because it's really useful and informational. User friendly & simple to read, providing you with practical info. However I'm done with its adds which you have to wait for seconds before they vanish. I'd rather pay $15 for such a convenient app than having to look at the ads when I'm mostly in need.

Very helpful to decide if I should travel by transit or taxi.

I love putting the markers for bars and restaurants and things to do and save them so it’s easy to see where everything is in relation to where I am. Love it!

This application has not been contemplated with a Denver map yet. Thus, I used a link asking for one to be created.

For my surprise the Application Manager said they will create one. Great, they are listening to users' comments an requests.

I will write again when this request got fulfilled!

Thanks.

We're using it in San Francisco, and before we got CityRailMap , it was hard to navigate the city. Now that we got CityRailMap , navigating the city is simple!!!

I have now used this in Tokyo, Seoul, NYC and Hong Kong. No other maps needed. And well worth buying the entire world. This is now my go to travel map...

Great aesthetics on the map but not the most update one!

Can help update the newest extensions on Hong Kong subway system map?

by Amhirsch

Being easily able to overlay the routes with landmarks and the names of the route from stop to finish was a tremendous help in validating train routes and direction!

Used this for a month in Tokyo and it was most useful for getting around. Highly recommended.
