User Reviews

Users repeatedly praise MetroMan Shanghai for its easy-to-use routing and clear maps with entrances, which helps even non-Chinese speakers. However, the experience is marred by heavy, intrusive ads and interstitials that hinder use, occasional redirects to external apps, and a lack of updates for new metro stations. Overall, the app is useful but its ad-heavy model and outdated station data are significant drawbacks.

Pros

Easy to use with clear routing directions
Maps show routes and subway entrances, aiding navigation
Helpful for users not familiar with Shanghai's lines

Cons

Intrusive ads and pop-ups that obscure the subway map and route options
Interstitial ads disrupt usability and are hard to close
Ads sometimes redirect to external apps (e.g., TaoBao) or promotional content
Not updated with new metro stations

I have Metro man apps for four other cities and they’re all wonderful. For Shanghai, I am not able to access anything on the metro. When I open the app, I can only get to a TaoBao application, wanting me to buy things. I reinstalled it and now when I open it, I can only get to something wanting me to buy insurance. I have not once been able to actually access the subway map or schedule.

This app is notorious for popping up ads that obscure the view, making it frustrating to use. The ads keep appearing and cannot be turned off. I was at the Shanghai subway station trying to look up my route and spent over five minutes struggling to get rid of the ads, which made it impossible to plan my journey. This is a terrible way to monetize an app.
