User Reviews

Users praise navigation usefulness, bilingual stop names, and travel-time and fare estimates, which help planning and saving money. However, frequent updates reveal outdated data, missing lines, and inconsistent routing. The Android UX is criticized as non-interactive, with maps as images and separate city apps, plus stability problems after updates and limited language options. Overall, the app is helpful but requires regular data updates and UI improvements to meet current network changes and user expectations.

Pros

Very useful for navigating Guangzhou metro and planning routes.
Shows English and Chinese stop names, aiding identification.
Provides travel time and fare estimates for trips.
Helps save taxi fare and is highly recommended.
Generally well-developed and easy to use with broad metro coverage.

Cons

Data is outdated and not regularly updated; new lines (e.g., Line 10/12/22) are missing.
Inaccurate or inconsistent data and routing results, especially after updates.
Poor Android user experience: not interactive, maps are just images, and there's no in-app city switch.
Stability issues after updates; sometimes the map only shows intermittently or the app crashes.
Localization/language options are limited; switching the UI to Chinese is not straightforward.
