What people like
- Route planning is super easy and fast
- Google Maps link helps find the right exit
- Updates quickly add new train lines
- Works offline for basic trip planning
What they complain about
- You must buy VIP separately for each country
- It only shows first and last train times
- Street maps need internet to work properly
- Ads interrupt you constantly
Shame not more cities
This app is so easy to use, as someone who travels around China my only gripe is I wish it had more cities as the metro system in many second cities in China are how quite extensive with multiple lines and stops.
不好用！
沒有最佳路線，也沒車費資料！
Old icon back pls
Wonderful update apart from the icon. If the old icon was kept then 5 stars.
No more fare displayed??
Please bring this feature back I need it so much the interface of this app is much better than the official MTR one
Frustrated!
The speech bubble on the main screen won't close. Also the route should be clearly laid out for those unfamiliar with it, why else would you buy an app like this?
The best
It’s the best. What is more to say!
不喜欢，有广告。
广告不是太喜欢，讨厌。
huge help!
The spider-web like MTR line of HK left me totally confused. This app helped me deal with my anxiety as I anticipate for the next stop and interchange. Huge thanks for the makers of this app!
Disappointed
Disappointed after buying this app to find that the street map only shows where the station is not where all the different exits are on the map, the main reason why i bought this app. As a visitor to Hong Kong using the right exit to come up on street level at the right spot is essential. As each station can have 10 different exits this would make life so much easier.
I like it Custom is nice
I Love it
垃圾
吹的挺好的，其实是垃圾，别下，害我花了13元多，什么破东西，跟本查不起来，求退钱。
一般
一般，需要加强功能
Maps don't work offline
When the description says that it works offline, it means only the MTR diagrams. The street maps relies on Google maps, and that only works online.
Great stuff!
This app is very updated, we used it often and they even added the new South Island line right away. Thanks for this!
Good stuff
Useful and intuitive - better than the MTRs own app by far.
不合格
横屏时，画面不合格，期待改正
Great apps
Easy to use & very helpful for different countries. I purchased the VIP version but for every country's app I have to purchase for each of them?! I thought purchasing once would entitle me to VIP modes for the different countries as well, sad.
还好啦，比较直观。
如果能用GPS增加换乘提醒就更好啦
非常实用！在新加坡完全依赖于它。

Up-to-date fares, convenient travel planner
Hong Kong's MTR isn't the most complicated transit system in the world, but for a couple of bucks it's convenient to be able to plan travel times, etc. As of this review (May 2011), the most recent version provides accurate fare information. The link to Google Maps is also quite useful, especially since it's often important to know which exit to use. Unlike the NY Subway, the MTR's stations are often deep underground, with multiple far-flung exits -- for short trips, walking to the platform can sometimes take longer than the actual train ride. Google Maps shows the precise location of each exit. The app doesn't provide detailed schedule information. Trains on most lines run pretty frequently anyway, but it does mean that users should view the travel times as just estimates. The basic MTR network map and trip planner work offline. The Google Maps link requires a data connection, which is not a problem in the MTR (although for visitors to HK, you'll of course need a local SIM and data plan). What would be super-helpful is an enhanced version of the app covering other forms of HK transit as well -- the buses and ferries here are a much bigger challenge, especially for visitors, than the MTR.
Does one thing really well
Really fast and easy to read. For metro Hong Kong, this is great.
Ok but not the best
This is an awesome app. However, I think it should supply a list of train times at every station. Not just the 1st train time and last train time. But the entire schedule. It's not very efficient to show up at the station only to see the train leave and have to wait for another 10 minutes cuz I didn't have the actual train time. Everything else works awesome.
It really helps !
This apps is absolutely what I want, the control is simple and the display is smooth and comfortable. A good and user friendly one. (Actually a train timetable is not quite necessary in hong kong : P)
Great app
So much better than the other hk MTR apps! Allows for time trip time estimate. Please update the airport line! Maybe add some bus/ ferry times?
Well done!
Especially the route planning.
Great app
Easy to use... Great for knowing where are the Stations and how to get there..
好用
第一次去香港，用这个软件畅通无阻！
