Berlin Subway: BVG U-Bahn map Reviews

the gift that keeps on taking

stueben22

as another reviewer wrote, first you pay $3 for what was once free before ios 11, and you still get ads. even worse, they want you to pay an ADDITIONAL $4 for the ‘ad-free’ version. UGH

Freezes constantly

The app is useful, but freezes constantly. Lots of ads when you are in a hurry to find out your route. They will try to sell you a lot of things.

Acceptable

Pros: decent mapping, works offline, clean UI. Cons: no tap-to-zoom (this isn’t iOS 7), doesn’t include buses (trains stop at 1am), ads take up the entire screen when playing.

I like using this app for commuting and planning the routes. The only issue I have is that the subway map is currently outdated. There were some line changes in the past months (S9 for example) that are not displayed on the current map. Please update it :)

Map is inaccurate

Some lines are missing from some stops when using the map. Otherwise really like the app.

Nice transit map

Can't wait to get back to Berlin and use this app!

Don’t buy the ‘remove ads’ feature

It doesn’t work - you still get advertisements, and if you contact support they say it’s Apple’s fault. A good way to rip you off for $2.99 without doing any work. I liked the free Berlin metro but they didn’t update it for iOS 11 so I bought this one. It’s ok, nothing stellar and it still has those ads.

Super convenient

I use this almost every day in Berlin and it never lets me down!

Major defects

I could not find my local station Guenzelstrasse, probably because the app does not understand the use of ue for the umlaut. When I tried to report the problem, the program trapped me in keyboard entry mode, with no done or save button so that I could send my problem report.

Quite helpful

Worked very well. One suggestion for improvement would be to indicate the direction to take in the route planner, rather than only the train number.
