User Reviews

Explore Beijing is praised for its offline map, effective route planning, bilingual station names, and GPS-enabled navigation. The main recurring drawbacks are frequent data updates lagging behind Beijing’s rapid expansion, occasional line-specific inaccuracies in routes, and update/purchase friction when new versions roll out.

Pros

Route planner helps plan trips with estimated times that are close to actual
Offline subway map so it works without data connection
Clear, intuitive interface and design
Station names shown in both English and Chinese
GPS/location integration with iPhone maps for easy navigation

Cons

Maps and data are frequently out of date, failing to reflect new Beijing lines and station openings (e.g., Line 3/12, Line 6/16, Line 15, etc.)
Line-specific updates are slow or inconsistent, leading to outdated routes or missing lines
Some update-related friction and changes to pricing/permissions in newer versions (update/purchase issues)

Recent reviews

One of the most used & most useful apps on my phone! Need to update to reflect recent Lines 3 & 12 openings. Thx.

This app is fantastic! Be sure to plan your metro trips with it because the app ma discover a faster route then the one you find on your own. Estimated times are quite good and are very close to actual. Lots of features, it’s great!
