Customer Reviews
Not Impressed
To be fair, I first tried to contact the developers via their "Support Site". If there's a way to email them, it wasn't obvious and I feel that's something that should be very easy to find - especially if you're trying to sell an app on iTunes and want to avoid one-star reviews. My complaint about the app is that you can't even download all sections of NYC???? Hello???? What is this app called? You think they would at least have a representative of each area. I could go to Google Images, download them and load them in File Magnet or any other file program and have them all. The reason I thought this app would be a good idea is that there would be the simplicity of having the maps right there. I also thought that somebody who went through the trouble of creating an app would have first made sure that there were enough maps available. My other complaint is that when you do use a map, it's painfully slow. It will freeze for a few seconds before you can move it again in hi-res. To be fair, this app isn't the only one to have that problem and it may be a challenge of the iPhone itself. The bike map is a great idea but it's horrendous. It locks up every time and I have to close and reopen the app.(yes, I rebooted after installing the app.) There's actually one great map called "New York Neighborhoods Map" but it's pretty slow, as well. I'll even give them the benefit of the doubt that it's difficult to run an app that relies on many sources that are out of their control but the answer to that is to purchase maps, have some for free, charge for the great ones (if you must) and make them all consistent. Otherwise this is useless. People are willing to pay for something that works well. That's the bottom line. At $2.99, this is really poor. This is a great idea but the features (features? There are no features!) and execution are simply not ready for release. Now, as scathing as this review is, I'm just being honest about my experience and would have gladly written the developer first if I knew where to write. I am holding out hope that this will improve and would gladly revise the review to reflect any improvements. Okay. Done.
Transit Map
This application is old and should be updated. The map reveals #1 train travelling to Brooklyn and this is not correct
