Customer Reviews
Not so good
I was disappointed in this app actually. Out of all my issues, here are some key ones: although it will tell you what are the closest Metro stations, it won't tell you how to reach them. I would expect either a built-in map ir an integraiton with Google Maps to show how to go there... Moreover, searching for a station name is very weak if not broken: it will only search for stations whose name starts with the letters you enter. For instance it won't find "Sevres Levourbe" is you type "Lecourbe" ! Better have a pdf version of the Metro map for free rather than paying for this app.
Fantastic app!!!!
For those that are new to Paris, old to Paris or just plain visiting, you must get this app. It is well designed and incredibly useful.
Much snappier now and the augmented reality view is neat too especially for POI's.
October 2009 Metro APP Review
Having just returned from a 5 day trip to Paris my thoughts are:
1. This app would be really beneficial if you lived in Paris or Europe full-time. As an American I have heard the horror stories of AT&T data roaming charges exceeding $500 dollars for a short visit. Before I left I turned off my data roaming on my iPhone. Unfortunately this caused me to lose most of the great features of this app. The GPS location services don't function with data turned off because apparently it works in conjuction with Google Maps. Also the POI's wouldn't appear for the same reasons.
On the plus side it is an excellent metro map and I did find myself consulting this for transfer stations within the Paris Metro System. The negatives I have mentioned really aren't a fault of the app, just the problems with the way AT&T addresses data roaming and locked phones.
