it actually is a really good app. a must have when traveling Korea. the only problem I have is especially in Seoul. can you please list the number of the stop. in the subway station on the app it tells you to get off on ........ stop. but I can't read Korean so it gets a little difficult. if you include the station number it would make it much more user friendly to everyone.

It's okay but can't really be used on its own, even in Korean it seems to be pretty bad. For example, if you want to enter an address, even if you put the exact address or if you search really common things like "x station" it won't even give you the closest approximation. You have to use it in conjunction with another app. I was making do for a couple weeks in Jeju but it has no f*ng clue what to do in Seoul. Switching to another app to try my luck there.

English is my 2nd language. Even if you choose the English Language is not fully on English it's partial. Is not tourist friendly and that's not welcoming. It's frustrating to navigate the app when you have no idea what you are clicking and looking. And if you are not a resident it's hard to add payment. Google maps still more helpful. I hope they open the doors more to visitors.

This is the ONLY GPS app I use. I absolutely rely on this app for work-EVERY DAY. I wish there was more customization with the Favorites Folders, and I want to be able to customize the advisories, to toggle them on and off, individually. I appreciate the helpfulness, but at times it can be TOO helpful - Sometimes, I just want it to shut up - I don't care to know where every Frequent Animal Crossing is. I would gladly pay, as long as it is not a subscription, if it meant more premium features.

If you're in South Korea this is a MUST have. Just download it now. Update: There are some user experience gotchas with this app. First, the default mode for directions does NOT update your location on the map. It shows no updates! You can get it give GPS real time updates...how?? Click around randomly...I can't reliably repeat the behavior. This is bad. Second issue: naming places. On map hover menu, "add place" is PUBLIC places. Not what I would expect. Private locations are hidden. bad desig
