It's decent but it feels pretty bulky. The app is full of different features, most of which many people don't need. The constant pestering to subscribe is pretty annoying too, and for some reason the app needs to stay open 24/7 for 'tourist' reasons!? I'd much rather this app was broken up into 2 apps, one for just the train navigation and one for all the other junk.

I've been using this app for years now and I loved it until they put the feature for viewing the train stops between apps behind a paywall. We were able to check this for free before... Usually when you want to monetize an app you create new features and then make them subscription based, not take away features that were free for years and suddenly make it cost money to use.. A bit disappointing, but besides that it's a pretty good app!

Refuses to find Fuji station (shizuoka) in a search. Has several quirks which make it a bit less convenient, for example, tapping search and then having to tap again on the input rather than cursor being ready. Keeps asking me where I am from (irrelevant) and if I am traveling as a tourist in Asia (no). Overall gets a 2 for being poorly designed with an unreliable search function.
