## Review summary

Users praise the app as historically accurate, easy to use, and valuable for visitors and long-term users. However, many recent reviews report crashes after updates, incorrect station/route/transfer information, timetable errors that cause delays, and broken search/offline behavior requiring mobile data. Users request bug fixes and restored offline reliability.

### Pros

- Historically very accurate and reliable — many users called it the best app for Seoul subway.
- Easy to use and helpful for visitors; simple station/route lookup praised by several reviewers.
- Long-term trusted app — multiple users report using it for 8–10+ years.
- Previously supported offline use (could access schedules without mobile data).

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability after recent updates (crash on search, crashes on region change).
- Incorrect station names, misplaced labels, wrong routes/transfers and spelling errors reported repeatedly.
- Timetable inaccuracies — departure times often offset (about 10 minutes), causing missed trains.
- Search and offline functionality broken for multiple users; app now often requires mobile data to work.
