One of the oldest most effective transit apps EVER!!! I first came to it when the Palm i705 came out; this app been every single mobile device I’ve had. I Always forget to donate to the developer, My Bad. Best of all: as as you download your appropriate maps to this app, you won’t need internet, map files are usually less than half an mp3 file. Four stars on account of the GPS feature never working and that it is difficult to find in apps stores across all platforms, even when through their website. Thank you!

I too, have used this app since the PALM days and there are no words to describe how helpful it’s been to me during my travels to Europe. I recommend it to all my friends and thank the developers for making it as much a part of my travels as my passport!

First time writing a review (to my knowledge) because this app is so helpful. I wouldn’t have survived living in Japan without this app. It helps me get wherever I want and change trains without getting lost

With MetrO I’ve been able to navigate subway systems around the world. Works like a charm offline, and is always correct. It makes getting around on an unknown subway system easy as pie. Love this app!

Just give me a map. I don't want to enter in addresses. I want a map to actually see the system. Worst transit app ever.

I've used MetrO for several years, and it is my go-to app for navigating public transportation when I travel. I'm in dozens of different cities every year, and metro allows me to travel like a Local. I've tried a number of different apps, as well as services built into the mapping apps on my phone, but nothing beats MetrO.

As simple as had stayed I have benn using MetrO way back on the PALM TREO and then from my first BLACKBERRY all the way up to my current iPhone 6.... Currently in Buenos Aires, I decided NOT to rent a car, as all my visits were within 4 miles from my AirBB apartment... and having a "Subte" outside my street door I downloaded my iOS copy of the old faithfull MetrO... and it took me back 12 years to my days in Paris.... Keep it SIMPLE as it is... no need for maps or graphics... simply from poin A to point B with the little steps and all.... THANKS MetrO !!!

I love this app since many years ago. Still working, still updating: a must have.

Get this app! Just returned from 9 days in Paris. The city's metro system goes almost everywhere in the city. This app made using the Paris metro a snap. Absolutely a vacation necessity.

In short, Metro has helpful transit information on a lot of cities worldwide. I used this in 4 cities in Europe and I am really glad I had this. Sure, maybe there are some stops missing from here but still, if you don't have an internet connection or you want to save data while traveling, this app is for you. Tip: you need to know the stop name in order to make use of this (unless the stop is a landmark). I used an offline map app (also free) with public transport stops to look up the stop names.

I've been using this app for ages and absolutely love it! Having one app that helps me navigate metro systems all over the world is fantastic. I've used it all over Asia and Europe and it has never failed me. If you travel a lot, you need this app!

Been using a version of app for years, way before there was an iPhone with apps. Has never let me down, there is plenty of cities covered, and the price us unbeatable!

Recently, when I tried planning a trip between Bart and Caltrain, it would specify that all Caltrain stops were closed in the middle of the day in a Friday...? What is with that? It's also missing most of the muni system, and it's not as useful as before because it refused to open when I was not online, so I couldn't use it! Please fix as soon as you can!

Its the Best ..

I wish the San Francisco database included the entire AC transit, SamTrans, County Connections, VTA, Muni, and Shuttle services! Once those are added (along with departure times from the Caltrain schedule), it earns 5/5 stars, and gets my recommendation to Caltrain staff!

Even though the user interface isn't the latest, this little perfect app is very powerful and smart. I've forgot for how many years and all the destinations in which this simple app saved my life! Going from A to B in a strange city haven't been easier thanks to this amazing team that updates the maps very often!!!

Helpful to find the nearest train, direction to head and where to change. Just remember to sync the maps to avoid need for data. Great port of an equally useful Palm Pilot application.

This app is confusing. Also it does not give any time tables. Also, the estimated time does not seem to be accurate.

This is a must-have for anyone who travels & uses public transportation. I've been using it since it was only available for Palm products.

this is hands down the best app I have ever used. I am currently traveling abroad and this app has been an absolute god-send. You don't need wifi to use it, you just need to know your point A and point B. Let me repeat: YOU DONT EVEN NEED SERVICE TO USE THIS APP! This is amazingly helpful when traveling abroad without phone use, or when underground and without service. If you do have service, you can have it find your current location and it will direct you to the nearest station. In large cities, like London or Paris, your "point A/B" could even be a monument/landmark, so you don't have to figure out which stop is the closest. It tells you which train to take and which direction and where to change to a different line. It will give you different routes, which one is the fastest, or which has less changes, and you can tap on the specific train to see how many stops it is. It takes a few minutes to figure out how it works and what all the symbols mean, but once you do, it's so so so amazing. I seriously cannot endorse this app enough.

I have traveled tons internationally but this app rocked my world. Amazingly simple app that changed everything. You will never get lost with app! Stop looking like a noob and a tourist, starring at maps and DL this app!

Not a god sign that it hasn't been upgraded since fall of 2013. I think the developer gave up on it rather than fix it's myriad problems. Bad interface, no instructions, just plain worthless. I've been trying to plan a route between Seattle Airport and down town and the app keeps giving me an error message that the starting point, the airport, is closed. Ummm... might want to tell that to the 10 planes that have landed since I started trying to use this app. Removing it from my phone as soon as I send this review.

This really helped me in Paris.... I even helped a lot if others with it. The only thing was I had to learn to shut off bus options since I didn't want that. But once I figured that out, smooth sailing.

Trying to use it to plan a trip from the airport to my hotel. Except I have absolutely no idea how to find the airport as a starting point in this app. I typed in every variation of "airport", and it's name I could think of, but It just doesn't exist in his app. I could also try selecting it on a map ... Except there is no map. This app is completely unusable.

I use this app when I explore Japan. Easy and convenient to use. I recommend!

No need for a data connection makes this app invaluable! I use it in various places where Internet access isn't available. I just punch in my current subway or train station and where I need to go and this app always delivers. Many cities are available; this also a huge asset. Once you are familiar with the interface you'll never need another app for transit directions.

As stated by others App needs clear instruction and explanation of icons, routes, etc The app is so bad for my own city (nyc) to figure it out, cant imagine it in Tokyo or any where else where english is not main language .. Needs serious re-write

Traveled in Paris for the first time and never got lost once with this app. Use in combination with map to locate Metro stations you are traveling to/from. This app lists the end stations, which are a must to get on the right train going in the right direction, then just exit at your stop. You will save time/money using this app. Only 1.70 euro one way on local metro trains.

Database for bus routes appears to be incomplete.

Thank you!

They need some type of instructions or tutorial on how to use this App. First time I tried it, I spent over 40 minutes trying to figure out how to use it the way the developers intended it to be used. In a new city, wanting to go from point A to point B, I'd like to know that I should take the XYZ line to point ABC and then transfer to the DEF line until I get to point FGH, where I transfer...etc. Please provide instructions so that travel challenged people like myself can use the App. The concept of the App is wonderful. The instructions not so much. Most Apps are intuitive. This one is not.

Saved me from getting lost in London! So easy to use and understand! Thank you!

So useful! I love the fact that we can use this app without Internet connection

I've used it flawlessly in Beijing, Paris, Budapest, Rome, Bangkok, Barcelona, Berlin, Munich, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, and Shanghai. Have no know clue why some peeps don't like it. Works like a charm for me every time. One of my most recommended apps.

What a lifesaver and a time saver! I tell all my friends about this app!

Great app. I used it in Spain. Has more circuits mapped out than any other app out there.

I've used this app in NYC, Singapore, Taipei, and London. It's never steered me wrong, and now it's the one thing I make sure to have with me when I go. Going to Tokyo next with this app.

You messed up guys

always says version is low

Baltimore, md needs to be added

Very good for Paris. You can specify not only station names but also touristic points like louvre or famous stores link Lafayette. Very fast and easy to use. Recommend.

On my first trip to Tokyo, I took a variety of tools with me in order to find my way around the city's train system. Maps, complex apps,and then a little piece of software called MetrO. I had never expected that not only would this app be as useful as it ended up being, but that I would only need it and nothing else. With a lot of other apps, they're about trying to shove complex maps or information onto a small screen. With MetrO, I get only what I actually need: clear and easy-to-understand directions on how to get from the station I'm at, to the station I want to be at. And, of course, because MetrO works offline, it's always there for me at times that other apps have no ability to be. I've now used MetrO for both visits to Tokyo and San Francisco, and it's never let me down. Such an amazingly helpful and convenient must-have tool when traveling. I appreciate that the app is free, but I'd easily pay money for it if it weren't.

We travel A LOT and we use this app more than any other. It's perfect because it has every major city, gives you many alternatives and WORKS OFFLINE!!! It's never been wrong in the hundreds of times we've used it. It's become an essential part of our trip planning and we use it constantly to get around when we're traveling. And it's FREE! We LOVE this app and HIGHLY recommend it!

This app is just amazing considering that it is free. I don't know how you guys are keeping it up-to-date but thanks for this effort all the way. Very importantly, this app works very well with Voiceover screen reader for the blind. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

and thank you.

Now that I've tried several and read reviews for more, this is THE ONE for Paris. I consider the gold standard of comparison to be the Ratp.fr website. "Best route based on a starting and ending address, considering metro and train or bus." You can enter a starting address and an ending address. The Ratp site will give you a best route. You also get choices of train or bus, and can choose a day and time to plan ahead. Finally, although this doesn't always seem to work, you can save your favorites. MetrO mimics the Ratp.fr website with all those choices. Plus, it can start at your current location if you have location services. One thing it does not do is give you train, metro, and bus together. Your choice is metro + train or metro + bus. The other is that it does not include timetables. If you are traveling extremely early or extremely late, you may want to check schedules elsewhere. Other Paris metro apps fail in many ways. The most common is that they basically force you to choose your metro stations yourself. Even if you put in an address or use location services, it's up to YOU then decide which metro station (from a provided list) you want to start from. That may result in your not getting the best route by a long shot. Where I stay in Paris, there are three stations close by. MetrO picks the best station for me depending on my destination. Another problem with other apps is that bus, train (RER), and metro are not integrated. MetrO isn't perfect. It will integrate bus & metro, or metro & train, but apparently not all three at once. Still, this is a very big improvement over other apps. I have crossed checked MetrO on several routes requiring changes with Ratp.fr. Its results match, although time estimates my differ slightly. Like Ratp.fr and most or all other apps, you can get a quick map around your start or end location. Finally, what an amazing deal - it's free! Note: In fairness, I have not been able to check out Kemto's app. It isn't clear from their website or reviews if it does what I consider the essential test: Best route based on addresses and including buses and trains.

This app is amazing for European travel. You can even enter your nearest metro station and popular destinations and it will give you directions. I have had less luck with it in the US (probably because our public transport isn't as good), but in Europe and South America it has been great.

Provides good info, at least for San Francisco and East Bay areas. The UI is confusion to use, still figuring it out.

I started using this app on my Palm Treo, and thought it was good. My DH and I were visiting family in Tokyo, I had MetrO and he had something else. MetrO was so much better than what he had, he downloaded it before we went out the next day. Sure, it has some glitches. On one rail line it said to ride to the end and switch trains. But you have to exit the system and enter the next; if we got off one stop before the end we'd be able to transfer across a platform. My Treo is dying a long, slow death, but I've already downloaded MetrO for my new iPhone.

You download the cities you are going to before you leave your country and you can access all the metro info available for that city on the app with no network connection. That means while you are underground you can still look at all the stops on the line you are on to validate you are going the right direction and on the right line underground. I've used it in New York, Los Angeles, DC, Madrid, and Rome. Soon to test in Japan in Tokyo and Kyoto!

Can not enter valid locations, even bus stops.

I am able to go about confidently in any of the hundreds of cities covered by this most useful App. I have been able to use Public Transport without fear of getting lost!! A MUST HAVE APP — if you travel the world!! Thanks

Tried it in New York City not much help. Not enough bus information. Thumbs down here. Everyone else good luck.

This app helps me everyday to get everywhere I use it a lot and I love it! Highly recommended. Just to keep in mind: download the city traffic with Internet connectivity and wait until it full download. Then when you be online you have no problem to search routes.

I downloaded this app because I was going on a three week trip to Europe. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. First off, the type function for the search engine does not seem to be working. I'm sure it's just a bug, but it's kind of a huge one, that I feel should have been noticed and fixed immediately. I was hoping to see an update available at some point during my trip to fix the simple mistake, but over three weeks later and still nothing. I suppose if that's fixed then it might be a good app, but I have no idea, because I have been unable to use it.

It only gives you a few major landmarks. It leaves out hundreds of others. It was useless!

Lots going on, poor interface. Hard to know what is going on.

Don't plan on using this app in Denver. You cannot input specific locations, only those within the app. Nowhere I needed to go was available. When I did pick 2 points 12 blocks apart the only route offered (I really feel for any tourist using this) suggested that I travel pretty much as far east as possible, then into a creepy suburb and then back across town to the destination that's only blocks north. Thank goodness I know the city. Had i been been in a strange land who knows how bad off I'd have been? Maybe it's just Denver that's shot, but this was not worth the time it took to download.

I'm sure there are some this app is for. To me there was too much going on. I wasn't ever sure if I was looking at the right route table or not. I guess if you need super detailed travel info this would be great, but being somewhat lost in a foreign land, this was too much going on at once for me to handle

Best App i have downloaded we navigated the Paris Metro like a local! Thank you for this App just love it!

I just returned from sightseeing in Tokyo and Kyoto. Before downloading MetrO, I had a really hard time figuring out routes and stops by just studying the maps. MetrO made it incredibly easier. I had just 2 problems. From Kyoto Station to Otsu, MetrO listed the JR Hokuriku-Tokaida-Sanyo line. We couldn't find it anywhere in the maze that is Kyoto Station. We asked someone for help and was told to take the JR Biwak line. Perhaps it has been renamed? Also, we accidentally boarded the express train, not the local one, and found out it whizzed by Otsu without stopping.

I have family in Tokyo and was puzzled by the vast and complex transportation system. On a recent visit my wife and I announced that we want to go around without assistance. This app made it easy. It is very comprehensive and includes most of the sites and landmarks you will want to see. The routes may not always be the fastest, but you won't get lost. The folks in Tokyo make it easy - the station names are in English as well as Japanese. If I may publicly make a couple of requests: I would like to see a way to save favorite routes and most used stops. Being able to indicate a station as "home" would be nice. Being from eastern Massachusetts I can attest to the general accuracy of the Boston information. All in all an excellent app.

works well! Helps me a lot in Czech and Austrian

Since I rarely just travel between 2 major landmarks in a city, this app doesn't help me much. The ability to enter addresses or intersections would make it much better and even worth paying for.

I've used this app in London, Paris, Tokyo, Kyoto, Santiago, New York and Boston. I first learned about it and used it on a palm pilot, and now on an iPod. I was able to easily and effectively navigate the subways of every one of those cities without any glitches. Bravo!

I used metro app in Paris and Madrid.without question there is nothing like this app for navigating the metro system in both cities.Would be lost without it. What's best you do everything off line You don't have to be connected to the internet. Just download and go. Horray for this app

I've been using MetrO since my old Palm Vx days and it has been amazingly useful all along. I push this app on people like it's the result of my own handiwork -- which it's not. Helps anyone who ever travels on mass transit anywhere!

Genial aplicación

Just returned from a two-week trip to Paris. This app, combined with the off-line map in Paris2Go allowed me to navigate the city like a local.

used the app in Paris and loved it. I love that you don't need to use the network in order to use the app!

This app is useless! It couldn't find my starting point nor my destination. I wasn't even searching for an obscure hole in wall somewhere, I searched for a major hospital in New York.

I wish it had some more not so main cities like bothell, kenmore, and alderwood I live there and really would like a bus route app for an iPod 2.1.2 software if anyone knows pls say in review

This app is phenomenal. It has saved me on my trip to Europe. Worked awesome in Paris. This is the app u need. I used this on my iPod Touch and it was perfect. I love how u can download the entire city so u don't need to be connected to the Internet to view where u going. I love how u can see which stations u will pass to your destination, in case u r going the wrong way. I don't write reviews often, but this one of the best apps on my touch.

Generally good, but in San Diego, how can the Zoo or Balboa Park be an unknown location. Not helpful.

This app has saved me in cities all over the planet. It never ceases to amaze me!

We used this AP all over Paris we were travelling the Metro like locals. I couldnt rate this AP high enough for a free ap.This also worked great for the Tube in London. You can find stops based on what you want to see not just the names of the stops. Invaluable as a tourist.

This app was the best while in europe. Simply the best.

The offline availability is a key part of this app over-seas. We were traveling the subways like the regulars, never looking at the confusing subway maps in the terminals. Used in combination with a landmark map the hotel provided (which included metro stops) we were unstoppable. Thank you for this free app.

Couldn't find our location in either Seattle or Berlin.

As a developer, this is the type of app I strive to write. Great work! On to Roma.

The best off-line (and even better that some on-line) app for metro transportation. Has very useful POI locations and places other than just the metro stations, which in turn provides better guidance. Very useful (and important) direction on which metro line/branch you have to take. Accurate travel times, including the walking time to, between and from the stations. I bought 2 other paid apps for London and Paris metros, but ended using this one all the time. Don't waste money on any other app. Could have some improvements in the future, such as a integrated metro map, or better yet, a metro map over city map, but those are bonus features. Excellent work.

If you travel a lot, this is a lifesaver. I've used Metro since my PalmPilot days and loved it from the start. I've used it all over the world and it's been a tremendous help in navigating public transportation systems. The transit maps are updated regularly and mistakes are corrected quickly. And it's free. What more can you ask for?

This is the best App I ever used for travel. I have been to 5 countries in EU, and the app never failed me. I even helped locals with directions using this App. You only need a local Map and this App and you will save Hours of searching for transportation and looking up schedules. It's free, it's the best

I have been using this app for over 3 years. It gets better and better, with more cities added all the time. Easy to use too!!

Great app. It would be even better if it included maps.

Nice app, has big potential. Just one crucial feature is missing - time schedules of public transport vehicles.

Please Milwaukee please!!!!

Just spent two weeks in Paris and this became our Oracle. We could navigate all over the city and never got lost. What a great app, especially for free! Wish it had a line preference selection, i.e I want to go to blank via line 3, but that's just gravy. A must for travelers!!

A traveler must have

I just used this one in DC and it was great! I'd punch in where I was and the location of where I wanted to go and it would give me my route options. What was great about this one is I didn't need to know the actual subway stop, just something like 'Smithsonian' or White House. Very easy, very fast, super useable.

I just returned from a trip through several countries in Europe and this app was used nearly everyday. The interface allows for input of popular tourist stops or stops near your hotel. Navigating Paris, Rome, Vienna, and Munich was a breeze!

Very useful! This month I travelled to Europe. And even I have metro map, it is not easy for foreigner to find correct path quickly. MetrO is so helpful! You just download the city's transport ahead and follow its instruction, you can arrive where you wanna go.

I used this app in London and it worked like a charm, even when planning trips that required National Rail connections. On the same vacation I used it in Manhattan and it avoided easy connections and mapped out routes that required walking a crosstown block from one station to the next (crosstown blocks in Manhattan are very long.) It seemed particularly loathe to have me connect at Columbus Circle. Very odd.

Long time user on other platforms, it's one of my must-have travel apps.

This is a great app! I just went to London, Paris, and Brussels and this app made getting around very easy. Another great thing about it is it does not need an Internet connection so you don't have to worry about data roaming charges. And it's free! If you are going to Paris and taking your iPhone, get this app!

This was my favorite app since my first palm device!

I have used this app on my palm for years-London, Amsterdam, Paris, New York, Boston, even Venice! It is amazing. Please make it a native iPad app.

We used this app in London and 8 different cities in France and it worked flawlessly. Best of all it's Free!

Great little app. Really helped us get around efficiently on a short 1-week visit in Paris.

This app lists the end stations, which are a must to get on the right train going in the right direction, then just exit at your stop. You will save time/money using this app. Only 1.70 euro one way on local metro trains.

Database for bus routes appears to be incomplete.

Thank you!

They need some type of instructions or tutorial on how to use this App. First time I tried it, I spent over 40 minutes trying to figure out how to use it the way the developers intended it to be used. In a new city, wanting to go from point A to point B, I'd like to know that I should take the XYZ line to point ABC and then transfer to the DEF line until I get to point FGH, where I transfer...etc. Please provide instructions so that travel challenged people like myself can use the App. The concept of the App is wonderful. The instructions not so much. Most Apps are intuitive. This one is not.

Saved me from getting lost in London! So easy to use and understand! Thank you!

So useful! I love the fact that we can use this app without Internet connection

I've used it flawlessly in Beijing, Paris, Budapest, Rome, Bangkok, Barcelona, Berlin, Munich, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, and Shanghai. Have no know clue why some peeps don't like it. Works like a charm for me every time. One of my most recommended apps.

What a lifesaver and a time saver! I tell all my friends about this app!

Great app. I used it in Spain. Has more circuits mapped out than any other app out there.

I've used this app in NYC, Singapore, Taipei, and London. It's never steered me wrong, and now it's the one thing I make sure to have with me when I go. Going to Tokyo next with this app.

You messed up guys

always says version is low

Baltimore, md needs to be added

Very good for Paris. You can specify not only station names but also touristic points like louvre or famous stores link Lafayette. Very fast and easy to use. Recommend.

On my first trip to Tokyo, I took a variety of tools with me in order to find my way around the city's train system. Maps, complex apps,and then a little piece of software called MetrO. I had never expected that not only would this app be as useful as it ended up being, but that I would only need it and nothing else. With a lot of other apps, they're about trying to shove complex maps or information onto a small screen. With MetrO, I get only what I actually need: clear and easy-to-understand directions on how to get from the station I'm at, to the station I want to be at. And, of course, because MetrO works offline, it's always there for me at times that other apps have no ability to be. I've now used MetrO for both visits to Tokyo and San Francisco, and it's never let me down. Such an amazingly helpful and convenient must-have tool when traveling. I appreciate that the app is free, but I'd easily pay money for it if it weren't.

We travel A LOT and we use this app more than any other. It's perfect because it has every major city, gives you many alternatives and WORKS OFFLINE!!! It's never been wrong in the hundreds of times we've used it. It's become an essential part of our trip planning and we use it constantly to get around when we're traveling. And it's FREE! We LOVE this app and HIGHLY recommend it!

This app is just amazing considering that it is free. I don't know how you guys are keeping it up-to-date but thanks for this effort all the way. Very importantly, this app works very well with Voiceover screen reader for the blind. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

and thank you.

Now that I've tried several and read reviews for more, this is THE ONE for Paris. I consider the gold standard of comparison to be the Ratp.fr website. "Best route based on a starting and ending address, considering metro and train or bus." You can enter a starting address and an ending address. The Ratp site will give you a best route. You also get choices of train or bus, and can choose a day and time to plan ahead. Finally, although this doesn't always seem to work, you can save your favorites. MetrO mimics the Ratp.fr website with all those choices. Plus, it can start at your current location if you have location services. One thing it does not do is give you train, metro, and bus together. Your choice is metro + train or metro + bus. The other is that it does not include timetables. If you are traveling extremely early or extremely late, you may want to check schedules elsewhere. Other Paris metro apps fail in many ways. The most common is that they basically force you to choose your metro stations yourself. Even if you put in an address or use location services, it's up to YOU then decide which metro station (from a provided list) you want to start from. That may result in your not getting the best route by a long shot. Where I stay in Paris, there are three stations close by. MetrO picks the best station for me depending on my destination. Another problem with other apps is that bus, train (RER), and metro are not integrated. MetrO isn't perfect. It will integrate bus & metro, or metro & train, but apparently not all three at once. Still, this is a very big improvement over other apps. I have crossed checked MetrO on several routes requiring changes with Ratp.fr. Its results match, although time estimates my differ slightly. Like Ratp.fr and most or all other apps, you can get a quick map around your start or end location. Finally, what an amazing deal - it's free! Note: In fairness, I have not been able to check out Kemto's app. It isn't clear from their website or reviews if it does what I consider the essential test: Best route based on addresses and including buses and trains.

This app is amazing for European travel. You can even enter your nearest metro station and popular destinations and it will give you directions. I have had less luck with it in the US (probably because our public transport isn't as good), but in Europe and South America it has been great.

Provides good info, at least for San Francisco and East Bay areas. The UI is confusion to use, still figuring it out.

I started using this app on my Palm Treo, and thought it was good. My DH and I were visiting family in Tokyo, I had MetrO and he had something else. MetrO was so much better than what he had, he downloaded it before we went out the next day. Sure, it has some glitches. On one rail line it said to ride to the end and switch trains. But you have to exit the system and enter the next; if we got off one stop before the end we'd be able to transfer across a platform. My Treo is dying a long, slow death, but I've already downloaded MetrO for my new iPhone.

You download the cities you are going to before you leave your country and you can access all the metro info available for that city on the app with no network connection. That means while you are underground you can still look at all the stops on the line you are on to validate you are going the right direction and on the right line underground. I've used it in New York, Los Angeles, DC, Madrid, and Rome. Soon to test in Japan in Tokyo and Kyoto!

Can not enter valid locations, even bus stops.

I am able to go about confidently in any of the hundreds of cities covered by this most useful App. I have been able to use Public Transport without fear of getting lost!! A MUST HAVE APP — if you travel the world!! Thanks

Tried it in New York City not much help. Not enough bus information. Thumbs down here. Everyone else good luck.

This app helps me everyday to get everywhere I use it a lot and I love it! Highly recommended. Just to keep in mind: download the city traffic with Internet connectivity and wait until it full download. Then when you be online you have no problem to search routes.

I downloaded this app because I was going on a three week trip to Europe. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. First off, the type function for the search engine does not seem to be working. I'm sure it's just a bug, but it's kind of a huge one, that I feel should have been noticed and fixed immediately. I was hoping to see an update available at some point during my trip to fix the simple mistake, but over three weeks later and still nothing. I suppose if that's fixed then it might be a good app, but I have no idea, because I have been unable to use it.

It only gives you a few major landmarks. It leaves out hundreds of others. It was useless!

Lots going on, poor interface. Hard to know what is going on.

Don't plan on using this app in Denver. You cannot input specific locations, only those within the app. Nowhere I needed to go was available. When I did pick 2 points 12 blocks apart the only route offered (I really feel for any tourist using this) suggested that I travel pretty much as far east as possible, then into a creepy suburb and then back across town to the destination that's only blocks north. Thank goodness I know the city. Had i been been in a strange land who knows how bad off I'd have been? Maybe it's just Denver that's shot, but this was not worth the time it took to download.

I'm sure there are some this app is for. To me there was too much going on. I wasn't ever sure if I was looking at the right route table or not. I guess if you need super detailed travel info this would be great, but being somewhat lost in a foreign land, this was too much going on at once for me to handle

Best App i have downloaded we navigated the Paris Metro like a local! Thank you for this App just love it!

I just returned from sightseeing in Tokyo and Kyoto. Before downloading MetrO, I had a really hard time figuring out routes and stops by just studying the maps. MetrO made it incredibly easier. I had just 2 problems. From Kyoto Station to Otsu, MetrO listed the JR Hokuriku-Tokaida-Sanyo line. We couldn't find it anywhere in the maze that is Kyoto Station. We asked someone for help and was told to take the JR Biwak line. Perhaps it has been renamed? Also, we accidentally boarded the express train, not the local one, and found out it whizzed by Otsu without stopping.

I have family in Tokyo and was puzzled by the vast and complex transportation system. On a recent visit my wife and I announced that we want to go around without assistance. This app made it easy. It is very comprehensive and includes most of the sites and landmarks you will want to see. The routes may not always be the fastest, but you won't get lost. The folks in Tokyo make it easy - the station names are in English as well as Japanese. If I may publicly make a couple of requests: I would like to see a way to save favorite routes and most used stops. Being able to indicate a station as "home" would be nice. Being from eastern Massachusetts I can attest to the general accuracy of the Boston information. All in all an excellent app.

works well! Helps me a lot in Czech and Austrian

Since I rarely just travel between 2 major landmarks in a city, this app doesn't help me much. The ability to enter addresses or intersections would make it much better and even worth paying for.

I've used this app in London, Paris, Tokyo, Kyoto, Santiago, New York and Boston. I first learned about it and used it on a palm pilot, and now on an iPod. I was able to easily and effectively navigate the subways of every one of those cities without any glitches. Bravo!

I used metro app in Paris and Madrid.without question there is nothing like this app for navigating the metro system in both cities.Would be lost without it. What's best you do everything off line You don't have to be connected to the internet. Just download and go. Horray for this app

I've been using MetrO since my old Palm Vx days and it has been amazingly useful all along. I push this app on people like it's the result of my own handiwork -- which it's not. Helps anyone who ever travels on mass transit anywhere!

Genial aplicación

Just returned from a two-week trip to Paris. This app, combined with the off-line map in Paris2Go allowed me to navigate the city like a local.

used the app in Paris and loved it. I love that you don't need to use the network in order to use the app!

This app is useless! It couldn't find my starting point nor my destination. I wasn't even searching for an obscure hole in wall somewhere, I searched for a major hospital in New York.

I wish it had some more not so main cities like bothell, kenmore, and alderwood I live there and really would like a bus route app for an iPod 2.1.2 software if anyone knows pls say in review

This app is phenomenal. It has saved me on my trip to Europe. Worked awesome in Paris. This is the app u need. I used this on my iPod Touch and it was perfect. I love how u can download the entire city so u don't need to be connected to the Internet to view where u going. I love how u can see which stations u will pass to your destination, in case u r going the wrong way. I don't write reviews often, but this one of the best apps on my touch.

Generally good, but in San Diego, how can the Zoo or Balboa Park be an unknown location. Not helpful.

This app has saved me in cities all over the planet. It never ceases to amaze me!

We used this AP all over Paris we were travelling the Metro like locals. I couldnt rate this AP high enough for a free ap.This also worked great for the Tube in London. You can find stops based on what you want to see not just the names of the stops. Invaluable as a tourist.

This app was the best while in europe. Simply the best.

The offline availability is a key part of this app over-seas. We were traveling the subways like the regulars, never looking at the confusing subway maps in the terminals. Used in combination with a landmark map the hotel provided (which included metro stops) we were unstoppable. Thank you for this free app.

Couldn't find our location in either Seattle or Berlin.

As a developer, this is the type of app I strive to write. Great work! On to Roma.

The best off-line (and even better that some on-line) app for metro transportation. Has very useful POI locations and places other than just the metro stations, which in turn provides better guidance. Very useful (and important) direction on which metro line/branch you have to take. Accurate travel times, including the walking time to, between and from the stations. I bought 2 other paid apps for London and Paris metros, but ended using this one all the time. Don't waste money on any other app. Could have some improvements in the future, such as a integrated metro map, or better yet, a metro map over city map, but those are bonus features. Excellent work.

If you travel a lot, this is a lifesaver. I've used Metro since my PalmPilot days and loved it from the start. I've used it all over the world and it's been a tremendous help in navigating public transportation systems. The transit maps are updated regularly and mistakes are corrected quickly. And it's free. What more can you ask for?

This is the best App I ever used for travel. I have been to 5 countries in EU, and the app never failed me. I even helped locals with directions using this App. You only need a local Map and this App and you will save Hours of searching for transportation and looking up schedules. It's free, it's the best

I have been using this app for over 3 years. It gets better and better, with more cities added all the time. Easy to use too!!

Great app. It would be even better if it included maps.

Nice app, has big potential. Just one crucial feature is missing - time schedules of public transport vehicles.

Please Milwaukee please!!!!

Just spent two weeks in Paris and this became our Oracle. We could navigate all over the city and never got lost. What a great app, especially for free! Wish it had a line preference selection, i.e I want to go to blank via line 3, but that's just gravy. A must for travelers!!

A traveler must have

I just used this one in DC and it was great! I'd punch in where I was and the location of where I wanted to go and it would give me my route options. What was great about this one is I didn't need to know the actual subway stop, just something like 'Smithsonian' or White House. Very easy, very fast, super useable.

I just returned from a trip through several countries in Europe and this app was used nearly everyday. The interface allows for input of popular tourist stops or stops near your hotel. Navigating Paris, Rome, Vienna, and Munich was a breeze!

Very useful! This month I travelled to Europe. And even I have metro map, it is not easy for foreigner to find correct path quickly. MetrO is so helpful! You just download the city's transport ahead and follow its instruction, you can arrive where you wanna go.

I used this app in London and it worked like a charm, even when planning trips that required National Rail connections. On the same vacation I used it in Manhattan and it avoided easy connections and mapped out routes that required walking a crosstown block from one station to the next (crosstown blocks in Manhattan are very long.) It seemed particularly loathe to have me connect at Columbus Circle. Very odd.

Long time user on other platforms, it's one of my must-have travel apps.

This is a great app! I just went to London, Paris, and Brussels and this app made getting around very easy. Another great thing about it is it does not need an Internet connection so you don't have to worry about data roaming charges. And it's free! If you are going to Paris and taking your iPhone, get this app!

This was my favorite app since my first palm device!

I have used this app on my palm for years-London, Amsterdam, Paris, New York, Boston, even Venice! It is amazing. Please make it a native iPad app.

We used this app in London and 8 different cities in France and it worked flawlessly. Best of all it's Free!

Great little app. Really helped us get around efficiently on a short 1-week visit in Paris.
