Citymapper: All Live Transit App Reviews

It can be a little slow loading at times but Ive never had any problems being late for a bus or getting on the wrong one. Pretty straight forward. If youre new to a big city and take public transit this app is a must.

Have been using the app in both cities and impressed with the power and options available to the user. Well done!

I had never had to use public transportation before and my assignment brought me smack dab in the middle of one of the largest most complicated metropolitan areas in the US aka New York! Switching trains and knowing which ones you or skip, will you get to work on time based on what time to start, how to get from track station to the next etc is daunting and error prone, till now. I started using this app immediately with no training and solves all of the above challenges with it. The interface is ingenious and the dynamic schedule updates are amazing. I didnt know you could do all that for his and many other cities all over. Sint go to your next public transportation trip without it!

Used it daily without a hitch. Very through, yet simple to use. Have not tried in other cities yet.

I rarely write reviews but this app is just awesome. Its saved me so many complex ideas to travel in NYC with all the intricate network of subways and buses. I love everything about the app. Some suggestions for the developers are that Im unable to search for xyz/abc street bus stop because apparently app doesnt recognize a stop or a place like that so please see if bus stops can be added. Second is, if there can be a more interactive way of telling the user how far my stop is, rather than the dot that keeps moving. Which is good, but Ill appreciate some changes to it. You guys rock though...

This makes public transit in DC work.

Citymapper is the best transit app Ive used in DC, NYC, and Paris. Great info, routing, and presentation of information.

At first I was skeptical because your destination doesnt transfer immediately from phone to the Apple Watch. That said, it was such a clutch tool for use on subways in Hong Kong and i dont speak or understand the writing of Cantonese. I was able to scoot around the city no problemo! So much easier and faster than cabs... A++.

This is a great app!!! Lots of cool features, its easy to use, and gets me where I want to be. On time, every time. Highly recommended!

This is one of the most useful and efficient apps youll ever come across. If youre in a city with a developed public transportation system (bus, subway, train, boat), in invaluable. Its easy to navigate and helps you feel like a local in no time.

Tried almost every other map app and this one is the absolute best by far. Walking, cycling, public transport, this has it all, and best of all just tap the star to add to favorites and use it offline! And if youre in a super hurry, use the tranporter! Love love love citymapper. My trip to London was amazing thanks to this app!

We where tourist taking the train for the first time in the big city of NY. This app was the best! Thanks to it we were able to go to any place we wanted and come back home without fear of getting lost or taking a long time. Worked perfectly in Washington too! Absolutely love it !

I used to use this all the time in San Francisco and I loved it!! Now I live in Minneapolis and I have to rely on vastly inferior apps to get around because you dont cover the twin cities! Id give it 5 stars, but the areas that the app covers are so limited!!!

This one of the few apps I use every single day. I live in NYC and this is amazing -- the estimated times of arrival are spot on and if you have a friend who doesnt trust you anymore to be on time (because, well, youve never done this before) you can "share" your trip with them. The program will text (or email, or FB message, or whatever you want) a link so the recipient can follow you live from their browser, no matter what type of device they use, without installing a thing. I sometimes use that feature when traveling home late at night just so my spouse can keep tabs on me during my trip -- a little extra piece of mind for me and for her. Ive used this app in DC as well and it also worked flawlessly. I also love that you can tell it when you want to arrive on some future date, and it will tell you when to leave -- great for estimating what time youll have to leave tomorrow for that party, say. You can save trips to the home page of the app and they are available to you offline, a lifesaver. When connected, though, it tracks anything and everything in real time! If I click on the step of the trip involving a bus, for example, it will show me the route and little moving bus icons show me exactly where all the upcoming buses are. For NYC subway, it does tell you what part of the train to get on, but its not very exact. Hey -- it cant do EVERYTHING perfectly! So, I still use Exit Strategy for that, but otherwise this app has replaced every other NYC travel app I own.

Lost complication functionality after most recent update. Initially complication wasnt updating. Then complication was no longer available as an option when customizing Watch face. Once fixed Ill give 5 stars

The latest update notes say you can never go home again. Going home was important part of apps functionality 4 me—reverse stupid change soon plz! otherwise, 5 stars: the mixed mode transport stuff, and the UI in general, are best in class, easily besting the efforts of bajillion dollar companies like GOOG and AAPL. Its an app you can tell was made with love by people who actually live in and understand cities—have a real stadtgefühl, so to speak. Its just a severe problem that I cant use it to get home.

I really liked the app but Im missing the subway map on the third screen, accessible by swiping to the left. Where did it go?

This is the best commute app I even used. I live in NYC and I like the feature where it even tells you front or rear subway train to stay on in order to save time.

I used Citymapper in Paris for a week. It worked flawlessly for walking, metro, bus, and Uber. It didnt seem to be a data hog. Highly recommended.

A really, really good and functional app. I would say the only shortcoming is, there is a lot to learn and find out. To use this app to its fullest you really need to learn some of its nuisances to get the most out of it. The learning curve is just a little confusing. A quick video by them to show how you should set up a days commute most efficiently would benefit all. Also in the video to show you what your other options are and why you may or may not want to use it. Probably the most confusing part is when you have to walk somewhere. A lot of work went into this and the company should be commended. Oh, and their updates are always worth reading!! Really, they are.
