Reviews for Japan Travel–Trip,Transit&Rail

Literally adware and spyware. I'm not even joking. The app is always on and it tracks your location, and then sends you ads from shops near your area. It sends you surveys which don't even work. Sometimes other notifications. All in exchange to see which trains are covered with your various passes - a feature so limited you'll use it once to find a line and then immediately go back to Google Maps.

Very convenient and light weight app. Accurately informs me of train timings and provides me multiple route options to get to my destination. Also has the option to filter out routes for JR PASS holder. EDIT: I'm unable to look at the stops along the way to my destination. When I click on the route to see the stops, the app tells me "The function is not available in offline mode". But I have checked and made sure I'm connected to the internet.

Well, the app works fine. But since July 2023 it limited viewing the stops along the route to Premium user's - which is dumb considering it was a free feature beforehand. Also, when you try to check the price for Premium - it requires you to agree into contract and lose the right to withdraw the agreement without showing you the price. So basically forces you to pay an unknown price. No info on pricing online also. This app is just for scamming foreigners. It's a shame for a Japan.

that app is amazing 👏 it has help me a lot to prepare my trip, honestly it has the whole information that how to take trains, buses and all the stuff that you will need to travel through Japan, you can create a itinerary, add different stops, search the shinkansen tikets put your hotels, and from the web page you can generate a PDF. I just put 4 stars because sometimes the app has a fail to sync the information and give you some message like a bug, but for all the other things was amazing.

Completely useless. Station names are still in Japanese; train names are in scribble and unreadable. This app is intended for internal market, definately not for non-jap speakers. Even hyperdia is better, and that means a lot, since that is the worst travel planner on the planet. Together with this one. Edit: wow. A premium plan. With no way to figure out HOW MUCH IT COSTS. Giant wow. And giant "nope".

The most frustrating travel app I've ever used. It only shows the next 3 routes at a time, if you want to see 3 more you have to select one of them, then tap "next 3". Want to see any more? Better set the time to the future and do another search. Loads of standard features are locked behind a pay wall. This only provides the minimal info and behind a horrible UI. It's good enough as a planning aid, but using this is like inspecting an elephant while looking through a straw.

Good app for travellers in Japan. Telling by filter your pass can go on Train without paid extra.

Useful app it would be better if you could save your trip searches under favorites.

For my recent trip to Japan I was using the free version. Then I got the paid version because it gave me which routes to take advantages of my JR Pass and later my Tokyo Metro Pass. Itinerary creating was neat. I used it a few times. Another good feature was locating public washrooms.

I purchased two 48hrs Toyko Subway Tickets but the Navitime app cannot show the QR code for redemption. I send 5 emails, in English and Japanese, with screen cap and confirmation ID to Navitime but no one replied me after a few months. What's more, the new interface sucks. The Navitime app in the past is very good but it is nightmare if you need customer support, which does not exist.

10.5.1 version is glitchy and for me only searches in Tokyo. Older versions warn not to update to new patch, but old version is the only one you can download new. hoping the developers roll back the published version soon, or fix the glitches. still works but you have to enter some things manually or search on the map yourself for where you want to go. location services lags terribly. but still a useful tool overall, just extra work.

sooo, slow. cannot login via any method. after half an hour wasted, there's a page on premium plans. I just want a route, not the broken Ikea of phone apps

Been using this app ever since Hyperdia went away. I rely on it every time I am in Japan and has never failed me. Recommend highly.

The app is decent and provide helpful information. But for city transport agencies to reference to an app which has a paywall to provide sufficient information is weird and unhelpful.

No bus route map so you can't see where you are with respect to the route. Almost unusable without monthly Premium charge. Constant popups to get you to buy Premium. Just use Google Maps.

Avoid this app, it's useless and scam. It says 30-day ticket, but does not give one, 3-day Kansai pass is too expensive as well. There is no customer support!!

Edit: Features that used to be free like viewing intermediary stops on routes are now behind a VERY expensive subscription. The app is useful, but it's a bad change. Original: This app is pretty much a must-have if you're planning on taking the train while in Japan. It's also useful for traveling aside from the train as well. Ads are minimal and unintrusive, too. The only issue I have is that I wish you could just look at timetables for entire days, but overall it's still extremely useful.

Totally useless. You get more into by using google maps. I tried several times this app to buy train ticket in advance but either station could not be found (!?!) or there were no tickets - no shinkansen. Let's be honest, you would use JR more often than shinkansen if you travel more locally, not only Tokyo, Ktlyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima. And if you do, then you can just buy your tickets at train station - easy and more convenient.

Has a notification permanently stuck in the notification bar that cannot be dismissed or disabled. Please remove this. Hard to use. Won't show a map of the route. Won't show a list of departures from a station. Can't find many destinations. Planning my trip is easier with google maps. ETA, this app is trash. I'm at station, looking for the train this suggested. It does not exist! No such depature time or train number at this station! Google told me a train and platform that is real. Garbage app.

Works great for finding routes to-and-from destination locations. Helps organize everything and is extremely useful. I just wish I could share the itinerary with my wife so we can both edit it in real-time. Whenever she clicks the link, it just opens the Google Play Store. There's no way to redirect to the app. Would be a very useful feature.
