For the past 2 yrs I was using this app to get around Japan comfortably anytime I would travel out for mainly concerts/raves. Even with the bar that doesn't go away, I liked it. Now I can't even use it anymore to see how long I need to be on certain trains and which stations I need to get off at since it's now a blocked feature until you pay for em. Why should I have to pay to see where I'm going and where I need to get off at? Especially if some of the trains don't have English translations.

Edit: Features that used to be free like viewing intermediary stops on routes are now behind a VERY expensive subscription. The app is useful, but it's a bad change. Original: This app is pretty much a must-have if you're planning on taking the train while in Japan. It's also useful for traveling aside from the train as well. Ads are minimal and unintrusive, too. The only issue I have is that I wish you could just look at timetables for entire days, but overall it's still extremely useful.

Has a notification permanently stuck in the notification bar that cannot be dismissed or disabled. Please remove this. Hard to use. Won't show a map of the route. Won't show a list of departures from a station. Can't find many destinations. Planning my trip is easier with google maps. ETA, this app is trash. I'm at station, looking for the train this suggested. It does not exist! No such depature time or train number at this station! Google told me a train and platform that is real. Garbage app.
