Ratings and Reviews
Data good, performance poor
Data is the best. Google maps doesn’t show nearly as many options. But interface is VERY laggy, app is slow, needs other apps for some basic information (bus arrival time), and it doesn’t show your current location in the route overview screen (ie how do I get to the bus stop?). Should also order best routes to take NOW, not which is shortest assuming you catch the bus with perfect timing.
Worst app experience ever
Good idea to have the HK shows where cycling tracks are located and how they are linked. The app is just too buggy to be productive. The map navigation automatically jumped off to China or South China Sea as I moved my fingers across New Territories. Much improvement need in order to be considered acceptable.
Crashes all the time
The potential for the app is great, and I used to use it all the time, however you have to know the names of the buildings and stations as there is no map based function for search. So it is not helpful if you don't know the area very well to start with.
However for the past few months the app has been completely unusable as it crashes on me every time I try to use it.
