User Reviews

SmartShanghai is widely praised as a core expat-friendly Shanghai guide with up-to-date listings and extensive coverage of venues, restaurants, and events. Users value its taxi-card feature, English-friendly interface, and usefulness for navigating Shanghai. However, multiple reviews point to reliability problems: after updates the app often crashes or shows errors; content can be out-of-date with venues closing or relocating; events and ticketing details are unreliable; recent versions removed useful features (Rides, subway map, copy-paste addresses) and some users feel the paid app isn’t worth the bugs. Overall, an indispensable tool when working well, but plagued by stability and freshness issues.
Pros
  • Up-to-date, accurate, and comprehensive listings for venues, restaurants, and events.
  • Expats- and English-friendly with a user-friendly interface and broad coverage of Shanghai.
  • Taxi-card feature that generates transport cards with addresses for drivers.
  • Broad, indispensable guide for planning activities and getting around the city.
  • Reliable access to venue addresses and location details to help with meetups and navigation.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and bugs after updates; app stability is unreliable.
  • Content and listings are often out-of-date; venues close or relocate without timely updates.
  • Event information reliability issues: cancellations, incorrect locations, and faulty ticketing.
  • Feature regressions: removal of Rides, subway map, and address-copying; favorites issues, reducing usefulness.
  • Perceived poor value for money for a paid app due to ongoing bugs and instability.

Every other thing I look up is no longer there. Restaurants out of business, stores that moved. The only thing nice is the Amap integration.

The app is really bad, events randomly canceled and pushed around with no notice, QR codes with tickets that don’t work, event locations are wrong horrible app. Wasted so much time and money trying to go for events which never happened!
