Fantastic app. I identified one issue though. When filtering the map of Paris, if you enter any of the listed attractions, when you exit back to thr map again the filters you selected will still be highlighted but all icons would have reappeared on the map, effectively ignoring the filters.
Right now I'm only giving it a 2 because it's not updated! The metro is a mess right now and some lines not running! (M6).....u need to keep it updated according to the construction and closers! Plus it misguided me, took me to a place where I could not get a connection! I found another App that was more updated!!!
We loved this app. It was really useful to find our way around Paris. The route planner for the trains / metro to get to various attractions was brilliant - particularly when I remembered to click on the fastest route / fewest changes option!! Highly recommended
Excellent app! It was my major app during our week trip in Paris (first time) that helped us to get to the point of interest via shortest route, read information about main sights, find new points around us. I highly recommend this app for you visit to Paris! I will certainly use this app during our trip.
Very helpful app to commute in Paris. Shows connecting Metro routes. My one suggestion would be to emphasize on bus transportation as one can see the beautiful city via a bus journey, not underground metro.
The app is not upto date with the latest info on the routes. For instance, during the strikes, it showed no signs of closed metro or RER lines
Great app! Really helpful for getting around Paris and being able to use it offline means it's perfect for tourists
En 2020 on peut pas payer son ticket de bus via cette application. Une application inutile. EN: dont bother installing this application, you will not be able to buy tickets in it.
The app has a very outdated design and no in app way to buy tickets, as is the an option in most city transportation application.
Terrible, it only gives metro directions,,, no busses, and you have to be extremely patient to navkgate through it
Inaccurate results--The 4 train didn't start until 10am Sunday and the app didn't know that. Unacceptable.
My 1st trip in Paris and I traveled alone.. thankfully I had this app to guide me in Paris. Easy to use and I love it. Merci
This makes life easy but the fastest route can be sometimes inconvenient so comparing it with other option is good
With this app I could discover each place to visit in Paris without any help... Great App!!
So much advertising that I couldn't get direction info and I'm not sure what I was able to find is even accurate given the current rail strike in Paris
The app does not give the perfect time taken between stations
Easy to use and very helpful for tourist
Used when I visited Paris earlier this year a God send for navigating public transport. Recommend it for anyone visiting Paris
Good Application for Travellers and Tourists.
very good app for traveling in Paris :)
Great app. Used it when travel in Paris.
Couldn't navigate the Paris metro without it!
the perfect app. highly recommended!
I loved it 😍
Won't connect to GPS, therefore useless to find nearest bus or metro station. Many attempts at GPS still no connection, even with a different phone. Also directs you always to the stuffy and airless metro!!! You have to know where you are for this us less app to work. Standing at a designated bus stop and it directs you to the metro two blocks away????? No phone number to call to report any issues. It worked better in Canada than it does here. False hope, don't download waste of time! !!
Crashes often. Needs more testing before releasing an app that concerns nearly everyone who puts their toe in Paris!
You need GPS to use this app. Of course GPS is not working 20 metres under the ground! Useless.
A fine source for the Paris metro map. For most travelers, they start each trip usually from their hotel and the app does not let you save a default starting station. My station started with the letter "B", pitty the user that starts at the end of the list each time. Most of what you need to navigate public transportation in Paris is here, including NO advertising.
