CNN Travel: "These maps are very easy on the eye and simple to navigate. They work offline and also include free updates of stations that have yet to be completed, operating hours and schedules."
Lonely Planet: "Easy to use, up to date and work offline. Very handy, especially when they've run out of paper maps at the stations."

This is one of the best apps i have found till now. Appreciated your hard work. Btw, here wa can provide rating, review, so as to the keyword searching install.Want to get more organic users, then find us in upmobi.xyz
Always updated and I find the transit times so useful to plan trips!! Thank you!!
I really love this app! I had this other map before that didn’t get improving info as quick as this app. But, there are improvements I could suggest: 1. You should include the new extensions and lines, like Lines 5, 10, 13 and 14 and say “Under Construction” next to the extended bit and highlight the extensions in progress in grey, so people know what easier routes they could plan in the future. 2. You should highlight the Park Stations in green (Jinjiang Park in yellow), the Railway Stations in grey, and the Airports in bold black. You should also change the shape for virtual interchange stations, e.g. Longhua (Line 11, 12) is a square shape instead of an oval shape. 3. You should create a map for every station (If not, just the popular ones) that has things like Lifts, Ticket Machines, Stairs, Toilets, obviously exits, and Escalators and there could be an up or down arrow on them showing if they go up or down. 4. You should adjust the river on the map a bit, without having to stretch out lines like Line 11 (Longyao Rd. - Oriental Sports Center) and make the river split in two, going around Fuxing Island Station. (Line 12) 5. You should allow VIPs to suggest ideas on the app without having to type in their email, which is why I am suggesting here. Well, that’s all I have to say, but thank you for your hard work on this app and please consider at least one of my ideas ;)
This app is incredible. We just moved to Shanghai, and it was a lifesaver as we figured out the metro. The best feature is planning a journey: just tap entry and exit stations and the app tells you exactly where to go—particularly helpful when the stations are crowded. It was so helpful, we downloaded the app for Bangkok, and it was just as valuable there.
Spent 2 weeks in Shanghai. This app absolutely was the easiest and best to use. Before leaving, I had down loaded 4 different free and paid Shanghai Metro apps. Within 2 days, I abandoned the other apps and used this one. I even recommended this app to several foreigners who asked me about it. You can’t go wrong.
It has been very hard to find a easy-to-use Shanghai metro app. This is the one. Neat and tidy, user-friendly surface.
I’ve been using this app for several years for trips to Shanghai. It’s great for getting around and key features are available offline. Highly recommended!
This is the only map you’ll need for Shanghai! Upgrade for $1.99 for the VIP version. It has pronunciations for each stop along with street maps in both Google and Apple with all the exit locations, and operating times! Best of all it can be used offline. Since I will only be using WiFi while there, this is a HUGE selling point for me. Couldn’t be happier with this app!
